"Y'wanna go get it?" Jerome asked, reaching into his pockets to pull up the car keys, tossing them over to the kid.
He knew Zacharie would want to get his book, so it went without question that he should just pull up the keys for him.
He himself would just get back to sitting still for his own tattoos to get done.

Zacharie, surprisingly, caught the keys with no trouble and gave his friend a grateful nod. "I'll be right back." He promised as he stuffed the keys into his pocket with his left hand before moving to leave the parlor. He paused in the doorway though and glanced about the room as if looking for something. When he spotted a pen and a scrap of paper, he shuffled over to it and immediately began to scribble. "For the flower that you want to get on your arm," He began, his eyebrows furrowing ever so slightly as he worked. "You should get a Hydrangea." He leaned back a bit and examined his work. "This is a really simple drawing...they're much prettier with all of the details, but I think the meaning suits you very well." He held the little slip of paper out towards Jerome.

Walking past the counter to head back to his seat, Jerome paused when Zacharie spoke, and started to doodle when he could only guess was the flower that he was just mentioning.
Blinking his blacked out eyes at the slip of paper while it was handed to him, he looked down at the flower design scribbled on its surface.
Glancing back up at Zacharie "Whats it mean?"

Patting himself down absently to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything, the teen replied idly, "Perseverance." When he was certain that he hadn't left anything behind, he looked up and smiled at Jerome. "Steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement. Or in terms of theology, continuance in a state of grace to the end, leading to eternal salvation." He shrugged slightly. "I think it fits you quite nicely."

Jerome stared at the flower for a long time after Zacharie told him what it meant, slowly looking back up to Zacharie, his chest moving a little more quickly as he smiled somewhat sheepishly.
lifting up the paper in acknowledgment, before reaching out to put an arm around Zacharie in a quick embrace joined with a rough pat on the back.
"I'll use this then." He said, making a gesture to the paper as he pulled away.
"Ready to get started?" Jerome's artists asked, prepping a new needle to be used.
"Yeah" Jerome said, turning back to head over and sit down, while Zacharie went to get his book.
__________________________________________________________
Her head glistening
"I promise there isn't anyone down here who wants to hurt us." She small voice spoke without any prompt. A small crystalline Jirachi, her head and ribbons glistening with an extra orange sparkle as she drifted under the illuminated street lights.
The legendary moved slowly down the streets, wide amber eyes scanning around with a look of wide curiousness.
A Few feet behind her, a girl with shoulder length blond hair, a pink and white trainers outfit widened her blue eyes, looking to the back of the Jirachi's head.
While the trainer had not said anything out loud, it was clear that Northern had picked up on the trainer's apprehension. "I'm not really that worried." Rosie reassured "If you're sure that someone needs help down here, we need to find them no matter what."

He didn't know what he did to receive Jerome's affection, but he certainly wasn't complaining. Though while he did stumble a bit from the firm pat on the back, he returned the gesture by lightly patting his friend's back. "I'm glad that you like it." He said with a pleased smile as the dark haired male went back to the tattooing chair. "I'm going to grab my book and then step over to the florist, I have my 'Dex with me if you need me." He called over his shoulder as he left the tattoo parlor.
Ahh...the streets of Camphoreon.
It felt like forever since he'd last been to town and he planned to make the most of it. But first, he had to get his bag. With a slight hop in his step, the teen made his way down the street toward the car Jerome had brought them in.

"Aight" Jerome acknowledged, It was good that Zacharie had somewhere entertaining to go, seeing as Jerome was still going to be a while.
He watched the Boy leave the shop, making sure he had the dex on him in case Zacharie had an emergency, it was still a rough neighborhood.

Curling her fingers together, Rosie paused by near by allies to look down their dark stretch. shifting away from them as she hurried to follow after Northern, who had paused in the middle of the street.
"Its so weak, I think its passing out every now and then," Northern explained, looking around again before floating off to another block.
After traveling around a little, the sound of someone walking caused Rosie to pause and glance over, mostly as Northern stopped and pointed to the figure "We know him." She announced

He had his bag and everything was right with the world.
"Absoooool~" Peldes chirped excitedly as she pranced by her owner's side. "We're going to stop by the florist, it's just right down the street." He glanced up from his 'Dex to look around. While the area hadn't changed much since the last time he had been here, it wasn't as if he'd been here just yesterday. "Down this...way..." He paused when he spotted two figures down the alley, his shoulders tensing as he warily took a slight step back.

"We know them?" Rosie asked, taking a step forward to try and make out the form in the darkness.
Northern however, not even remotely questioning what she was feeling, floated right up the street toward the boy. pausing in the light to make out familiar hair and expression, though upon seeing the Absol after a moment, she flinched backwards and quickly drifted back to Rosie.
"Uh- Sorry" Rosie said out loud through the darkness "Northern says that we know you."
Hands folding up to touch Northern, hugging her lightly as she glanced back at Zacharie.

Zacharie was a little surprised when a Jirachi came out of the shaded ally, but he didn't have much of a chance to react before it disappeared back from where it came. "...Who's Northern?" He called back uncertainly though he soon enough he had something else to worry about. Peldes gasped and chased after the sparkly pokemon though came to a skidding stop when she spotted Rosie. "Wait, Peldes!" The teen shouted, chasing after his pokemon without thinking. He slowly came to a stop next to his pokemon, his expression confused before it cleared into a slight smile. "...Rosie." He greeted with a slight nod. "What are you doing in this part of town?"

Rosie perked up visibly when the voice returned was one she recognized, a bright smile spreading over her face with relief and joy to see a friend. "Zacharie!" She greeted, hurrying over to him. "I didn't expect to see you here! how have you been?"
Northern eyed the Dark type, shifting a little higher into Rosie's arms.
Rosie glanced down at the Absol, her smile only becoming brighter, though Zacharie's question caught her attention, and her eyes widened a little more "Oh! Northern said she sensed someone in trouble down this way, we're looking for them."

The teen blushed a bit at the obvious excitement in Rosie's tone and scuffed his sneaker across the dirty pavement. "I've been alright, nothing to complain about." He muttered, ducking his head slightly in embarrassment. The mention of trouble had him tensing all over again. "I have't heard anything troubling..." He said slowly, casting a quick look around the ally. "...If you'd like...I'll help you look, though." He offered, adjusting the bag strap resting on his shoulder. "I can give first aid, if needed."

"Oh- Northern here can sense what people and pokemon are feeling." Rosie explained putting a hand on the Jirachi's head "Its a really special power that she's developed from Team Rocket holding her so for long in the dark.
Northern looked down "Not everyone"
Rosie too looked to the Absol, "Ah- well, she can't read Dark types."
Allowing Northern to float back up, Rosie knelt down, holding a hand out to greet the young Absol.
"We were heading home, and Northern said she felt like someone was scared and in pain, so we came down to see if we could find them... but there's no one here."
Northern shook her head "There is someone here... I know it."
Rosie nodded "She can't pin it down though, and we havn't had any luck looking around." the blond looked back up at him "If you wouldn't mind, I think and extra set of eyes would really be helpful."

"Ah...I see." Zacharie fidgeted slightly at the mention of Team Rocket. "Well that must certainly be handy." He cleared his throat softly and motioned to Peldes. "This is Peldes, she forgets her size and strength...but she's very sweet." As if to prove his point, the dark type instantly bounded forward to nuzzle against the offered hand. "Absooool~" While his pokemon was content with greeting Rosie, her trainer took another look around. "I used to search around this area all the time. It's where I found Jabari, actually." He eyed the piles of trash and boxes critically. "I'd be more than happy to help."

laughing with delight when the young Absol nuzzled into her hand, Rosie reached out to cuddle the Absol "What about you sweety? Want to help us find someone who needs our help?" petting her head gently a few more times, Rosie returned to her feet, brushing out her knees, turning a grateful look to Zacharie "Zacharie, thank you. I've been getting worried the longer we don't find them. Northern said they keep loosing contentiousness."
Northern perked up, suddenly looking around. "They're down the next street! they just woke up and they're in pain."
