Deanna was still getting used to the fact that what she thought she had known, wasn't what was true. It seemed that in order to protect her from Team Rocket, her memories had been altered. Now with one simple kiss, her real memories had rushed back revealing a childhood friend named Noah was her actual husband. Of course what she had been going through was nothing in comparison to the torture he had been put through. She had suggested he come work at the hotel, so that he could get adjusted to everything.
"I cannot believe they hurt him so much, Dea. Though, I suppose after what Eli and I saw when we were held captive, I shouldn't be. I know everyone is still adjusting, specially those who don't even know him. I think some of my siblings are trying very hard for your sake,"Lucy spoke, seeing her trainer in deep thought. A nod came from the woman as she leaned back against the back of her wheelchair.

Noah had been having trouble adjusting since he'd been brought to Dea's home. He'd been half delirious then, but now... It still felt like a dream. Like some cruel joke Team Rocket was pulling on him, letting him feel safe for a moment before ripping it all away.
He didn't recognize half of those Dea had living with her, and those he did had changed so much. When Dea has suggested he work for the hotel, he'd agreed. He wanted to get to know everyone, and hopefully build his strength back up.
But what was he supposed to be doing?

Lightning was heading to check on Dea, when she saw Noah standing there, looking lost. She walked up to him and gently tapped him on the shoulder, hoping not to startle him. Being one of the ones who knew Noah, she was trying to bridge the gap between him and those who didn't know him.
"Is there something I can help you with, Noah? You look a little overwhelmed and I know Dea would not want you to be. So I can help or I can take you to where Dea is, if you want,"she spoke calmly.

Noah jumped slightly at the tap on his shoulder, but once he saw it was Lightning, relaxed. He looked almost apologetic.
"I forgot what I'm supposed to be doing," he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. Going from fighting crime to something so simple... Why was he having trouble? "Could you?" He asked.

Lightning was glad he relaxed after seeing that it was her, knowing this was a lot for him to take. She waved off his apologetic look, he had nothing to be sorry for, least not in her mind. When he explained he didn't remember what he was supposed to be doing, she smiled softly at that. With a soft nod of her head, she let him know that she could.
"Yeah, I will take you to Dea, she will know where she wants you to help. She wants you to be comfortable, so she will probably team you up with one of us, so you have help,"she answered.

Noah gave Lightning a grateful smile. He was glad he'd run into one of Dea's Pokémon he'd known before. "Thank you," he said. "What do you usually do?" He asked, curiously. Maybe Dea would have him team up with Lightning?
He followed her quietly. "I never imagined Dea having a hotel," he said.

"You are very welcome, I know this is a lot for you to get used to. As for what I do, I help Eilam and Dea run the place. Sometimes I act as security too, dealing with any safety issues that come up here. Dea's dad was actually the one to suggest her having a hotel built. She needed something to keep herself busy with all that had happened, so this seemed perfect. We just jumped at the chance to help her out in our own ways,"Lightning replied.

Security? Noah couldn't imagine security issues happening very often. He hadn't been there very long, but the hotel seemed like a peaceful place. "I'm glad she found it, then," he said. Anything was better than an unhappy Dea. He hated to think about the struggles she'd gone through since he'd left her side. He'd wanted to protect her.
"Will you come in with me?" He asked.

"Yeah, if you would like me to, I can come with you. Last I saw, she was with Lucy when I passed a short time ago. I am sure Dea would be glad to see you, she knows you are still adjusting. I know a lot of things have changed since you left, so it is a lot to get used to,"Lightning answered. She led the way to the front desk, glad that Dea and Lucy was still there.
"Hope I am not interrupting, but I found Noah in the hall, unsure of what to do,"she explained.

Lightning really seemed to understand how he felt without having to say anything. Noah gave her another grateful smile. Things had changed a lot, yes. Pokémon were becoming human. At least, more human. Dea had children now. She ran a hotel.
"Sorry," he spoke, looking around. "I know you told me this morning, but for the life of me I can't remember."

Lightning gave him a soft smile, before lightly prodding him in the direction of his wife. She saw a gentle smile on Lucy's smile too and how Dea reached out to take one of his hands. If they wanted, she would stick around, it wasn't like she had to do anything right that moment.
"It is alright, dear, I should have given you a guide. So I apologize for not thinking of it sooner, I really meant to. Is there something you would feel best doing?"Dea asked softly.

Noah took Dea's hand, stepping closer to his wife. "It's alright," he said. "I didn't really expect to get lost." But he was lucky Lightning had found him. "Well," he began, hesitantly. He didn't really know all the jobs within a hotel. He'd stayed in plenty during his travels, but those stays had always been brief.
"I'm no good at cleaning or making beds," he said.

"No, but I should have known you might, love. And don't worry, I don't plan to make you clean or make beds. Well, we have the medical wing that Paian controls, if you want to help him. Fluff and Kachina deal with the dance studio, if that might be something you would enjoy. You could help Eilam, Light, and I run things and make sure everything is alright,"she pointed out.

"I'm still getting used to Paian being a doctor," Noah admitted with a smile. "Dance studio?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. He made a face. "Nah." He was grinning, though, and gave Dea's hand a squeeze.
"I think I'll do best at your side," he said.

"Well, he was quite determined to become one, knowing it would help me. And yes, we have a dance studio, was a request of the two of them. Alright, no dancing for you then. That is fine, I am perfectly fine with you helping us with the running of the place. Should have just suggested that in the first place,"she admitted with a soft laugh.
