-For a while, Herbert looks as if there's something more he wants to say but can't quite figure out how to word properly, before sighing and giving Crewe's hand a squeeze.-

Herbert: ...If you say so, then. I doubt he ever wants to see me again... but that's no excuse for not trying to make things up, is it?

-Fairly obviously intending the question as rhetorical, he realises his minor faux pas and carries on quickly in an attempt to divert attention from it.-

Herbert: Thanks for the advice. And sorry for bothering you with this in the first place. Guess I'm not really one to tell you how you should feel about your Pokemon when I'm going through the same kind of issues, huh?

-Crewe gives him a small smile-

I'm starting to think everybody has problems with their Pokemon from time to time.

-she kisses his cheek-

You'll make things right with Kirk, one way or another. I believe in you.

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert goes rather red as Crewe kisses his cheek.-

Herbert: I guess it's just part of being a trainer... still, I'm sure I'll get it right one day. We could try and figure it together. Make it another one of our little research projects. And before you ask, no, I'm not entirely sure what I'm talking about either.

79

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Crewe smiles-

I think I'd like that. We can figure out the details whenever we want.

-she smirks slightly and taps his nose-

You're still cute when you blush, fruitcake.

80

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert's blush intensifies.-

Herbert: Well, so are you. Not that you ever blush, though. So I guess it'd be more accurate to say you're just cute in general. Y'know these compliments always sound way less sappy in my head.

81

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Crewe laughs-

It's okay. I like sappy Herbert. In fact, I love him.

-she hesitates, then leans in to give him a quick kiss on the lips, blushing slightly-

82

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-The heat from Herbert's cheeks can now probably be felt from a few metres away, but he still manages to give Crewe a small grin.-

Herbert: Okay, now you're blushing. Turns out that it only makes you even cuter.

-He wraps an arm around her and leans his head against her shoulder.-

83

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Crewe blushes a little more-

Maybe I'm blushing a little. You're still doing it way more.

-she wraps her arm around him and kisses the top of his head, then rests her head on top of his-

84

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert looks indignant, or at least pretends to do so.-

Herbert: Hey, I can't help it. It's a genetics thing.

85

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Crewe raises an eyebrow-

Genetics? Somehow I can't imagine Titan blushing.

86

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert scowls upon mention of his father.-

Herbert: Well, yeah, of course he wouldn't, but that's because he's an emotionless robot. You should've met Lucanus. He went red so often you'd think he had sunburn or something.

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

-Crewe's eyebrow raises further-

Lucanus? He's... your ancestor from Ransei, right?

-she chuckles-

I don't think I can picture Jon ever blushing.

88

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert nods.-

Herbert: That he was. You could ask Jon about him, but I reckon you'd get a pretty biased spiel rather than a picture of the bastard that he really was. Anyway, the point is that dads generally don't blush. It's like they somehow lose the ability to do so after conception or something.

89

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Crewe snorts-

Or maybe after they leave puberty.

90

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

Herbert: Hey, Lucanus was like... twenty-something. I think. I never got around to finding out just how old he was.

-He pulls Crewe slightly closer.-

Herbert: Anyway, this won't be relevant to us for a long, long time. Let's just enjoy each other's blushing whilst we can, okay?

91

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Crewe smiles and squeezes him-

Sounds good to me.

-she looks around-

You think Lumiose has anything decent to do besides tourist traps?

92

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert shrugs.-

Herbert: I dunno. The place is essentially one big tourist trap by definition. Hence why we're wasting our time here rather than spending our vacation doing something worthwhile.

93

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

Hmm.

... You know, the phrase "tourist trap" always made it sound dangerous to me. Like a giant cage that itty bitty unsuspecting tourists walk into and then it'll snap shut behind them.

94

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert bursts out laughing.-

Herbert: That'd be infinitely more awesome than the real thing. As it stands, the only danger here is to our wallets. Speaking of which, I don't think I can afford to keep paying for two separate rooms at the Hotel Richissime, so... mind doubling up?

95

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Crewe raises an eyebrow-

Herbert, not being able to afford something? Don't admit to that, you'll ruin your image.

-she smiles and kisses the top of his head-

Of course I don't mind sharing with you. Provided Bishop doesn't, of course.

-she grins-

96

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert promptly goes red again.-

Herbert: I, uh... I'm sure I can convince him that there'll be no funny business. Not that it'll stop him from listening outside the door all night. He's kind of zealous like that.

97

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Crewe smiles-

He cares about you. It's sweet. Even if it is a bit annoying.

98

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert smiles rather bashfully.-

Herbert: I guess you're right. I really don't mind, honestly... he probably knows what's best for me better than I do. And even I know that when it comes to kids our age, Bishop's paranoia is entirely justified.

99

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

Well... we'll see.

-she gives him another squeeze, then lets go and stands up, offering him a hand-

100

Re: Crewebert's Non-canon-ish Testing Thread

Lumiose City

-Herbert gives a wide smile, then takes Crewe's hand and heaves himself to his feet.-

Herbert: Y'know, this is one of the things I love about having a girlfriend. Even sitting around on your ass doesn't feel like a waste of time so long as you're with them.
