[+ Bonfire Blossoms] Find Lysa and head west to the coast

After another round of kissing and physical touch, the two eventually dressed themselves in more than just their newly founded affections. Remy had planned on getting Lysa and Rai together and heading out to the West Coast where he could come up with an action plan. The capital couldn't be safe and he wanted to get to town before the sun began to set through the late afternoon.

During the walk back, the two teased each other like high school lovers - playful shoves and arm wrapping kisses on the way back to find Lysa. Remy began to tell stories of the city life, the buildings and towns, festivals and restaurants. She loved listening to it, but knew she'd never be able to make it there. Remy couldn't have understood how dangerous it was for a wild pokegirl in a large city. But she knew, which is why she had always kept to the woods or within a few liberal towns such as Sierra Baton. In places where neighbors had to rely on each other, these differences tended to fall aside. It was the city where everyone was able to be self-sufficiently lonely that social and cultural barriers became a problem. But she listened on in fawning anyways as he told her of Jay and the Professor, but his story trailed to an end along with the path to Lysa.

"So that's why I need to get back and see if they're OK.. hmm.." He started as he looked around, the slight crater taunted them with an empty jest. "Lysa?... Hey, where are you?" he asked of the woods, to no response.

"Rai, do you know where she went?" he started to ask, with a little exasperation. "Mmm.. I mean no, I was with you.." she explained obviously. "Yea I know, but don't you have.. like, some magic forest.. tracking ability?" He asked in frustration.

Her eyes widened, "Oh, you mean that? Well ya, I do now - sure! Let me just.." she started as her eyes closed, both hands focusing on the energy around her. Her slim right finger slowly raises to point west - With eyes opened and mouth wide, she was in shock at the sentience of her own hand.

"Wow, great!! Was that a power that I awakened in you?" He asked, impressed with himself as his backpack draped over one shoulder. She laughed with a big smile, "Oh my god, no! That wasn't real! I don't have any magic tracking abilities.. but she was heading West with you, right?. Must be something she's after, and that direction leads right up to Sierra Baton."

His eyes rolled as she perkily jogged ahead of him toward the trail, his hand slapping her ass while she passed, ".. pfft... you're such a brat.. I should have guessed."

The two walked for about 10 minutes as they approached the outskirts of the forest. A weight was then lifted off Remy's shoulders as he saw Lysa looking into a river near a pedestrian bridge. She was lost in thought, and it looked like troubling thoughts at that. He shouted "Hey, Lysa are you OK?" as he ran over. But unlike her, the cold shoulder turn spoke the language clearly.

"Hey wait - I'm sorry.." he exclaims while catching up with her, Rai staying behind to give them space.

She stood up, her chin was down as she looked to the ground without confidence. He put his hands in hers as they went back and forth for a few minutes, trying to communicate with gestures and overt body language. But it was clear that she felt jealous of finding him with Rai, even if he didn't know how she had found out.

Her shoulders shrugged, seemingly coming around to his attempts to apologize.. Remy moves in to try and kiss her. And he is left denied - she turns her face away from his but flinches in pain - her ribs still severely hurt.

"We are almost to the coast.." Rai adds from behind them, " - If she's hurt we can heal her in town."

Remy agrees and gestures towards the bridge and her bruised side. It seems pretty clear she needs help, and so she accepts with slight ****. Together, the three of them head over the bridge to make their way to Sierra Baton on the West Coast.
