Rasp Cavern

Crewe: Hm... no, I don't. And you'll probably get your fruitcake cooties all over my spoon.

102

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Lucius punches Crewe in the shoulder.-

Lucius: I would not. I wouldn't even want to share your dumb spoon with its dumb girl cooties.

103

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Crewe punches him back-

Crewe: Hey! I do not have girl cooties! ... Or other cooties, for that matter!

104

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Lucius folds his arms.-

Lucius: How am I supposed to take your word for it? It's been ages since you last proved that you were clean.

105

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Crewe "hmphs" and pushes herself up into a sitting position-

Crewe: Well, you haven't proved it, either!

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Lucius glowers at her.-

Lucius: Do you want me to, then? Will you let me share your ice cream if I prove I don't have fruitcake cooties or whatever ridiculous name you came up with?

107

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

Crewe: That's what I said, isn't it?

108

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

Lucius: Fine then!

-He grabs Crewe by the scruff of her shirt and pulls her in for a kiss.-

109

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Crewe starts as he grabs her shirt, but allows him to kiss her, putting a hand on his shoulder-

110

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-After a few seconds, Lucius pulls away, looking vaguely indignant in spite of the fact that his face has gone red as a Tamato Berry.-

Lucius: There. Happy now?

111

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Crewe pulls back too, hiding her own faint blush by crawling around to retrieve her ice cream from behind the couch. She comes back and plops down beside him on the ground again, putting the ice cream down between them and sticking her spoon in it-

Crewe: ... Yes.

112

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

Lucius: Good.

-He starts wordlessly digging into the ice cream, taking a spoonful before placing the spoon back into the bowl for Crewe to use, all the while furiously avoiding eye contact. This ritual repeats itself several times.-

113

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Crewe takes her time eating the ice cream, switching off with Lucius-

Crewe: ... You're welcome for the rescue, by the way.

114

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Lucius is gracious enough to wait until his mouth is empty before replying.-

Lucius: I could've taken her if I'd been given a little more time. Still, thanks for showing up when you did. You saved me a lot of work.

115

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Crewe rolls her eyes-

Crewe: Right. Of course. You were just taking a nap on the ground there.

116

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Lucius looks indignant again, though the blush in his cheeks is beginning to fade.-

Lucius: She got the jump on me, okay? I didn't have time to send out any Pokemon before those Luxray of hers decided to make me into their new scratching post.

117

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Crewe snickers-

Crewe: Right, right. That's why I could beat her up without any Pokemon.

118

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

Lucius: You have badass Obscura powers, though. And a spinny bladey shieldy thing. And armour that would make Iron Man jealous. Me, I have to rely on my wits.

-He taps the side of his head in what is presumably meant to be a sage manner.-

119

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Crewe nods sagely-

Crewe: Oh, right, your wits. And your Aura powers. And your sword.

120

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Lucius puffs out his cheeks.-

Lucius: Hey, I don't use the sword whilst I'm in costume. It's a purely ceremonial thing. Or at least, it is now. Only people I'd wanna introduce to Tsumugari's business end are either long since dead or long since gone.

121

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

Crewe: Mmm. Guess I'm lucky Ammy gave me Snarling Beast. Non-lethal and all.

122

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Lucius' expression suddenly becomes more serious.-

Lucius: If only Titan had been nearly as considerate.

123

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Crewe blinks-

Crewe: Wait, you got your sword from Titan? I thought you got it from Ammy like everybody else.

-she draws her Razor Fang knife-

Crewe: Titan gave me this!

124

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-Lucius gives Crewe a level stare for a few moments before sighing and facepalming.-

Lucius: ...Yes, I know. I'm aware that Titan gave you that knife. I was trying to segue neatly into the subject that we said we'd discuss earlier - namely the way you threatened our latest crazy with it - but apparently I didn't make myself clear enough. And just for the record, Ammy was the one who gave me Tsumugari, not Titan. Stingy old bastard's never given me anything more than a Pokedex.

125

Re: The (Non-canon) Adventures of Shieldmaiden and the Auric Avenger

Rasp Cavern

-realization slowly dawns on her-

Crewe: Oh. Ooooh. I get it now.

-she cocks her head-

Crewe: ... Do I even have a Pokedex? I must have at some point, but I've forgotten all about it now. It was never really my style.
