twists and turns [jered]

Stalling. He knew he was stalling because he was bored, bored of this place. The training sessions where he'd set standards for the various pokemon of his team had left him long since satisfied, and he'd toured Proserpina from the docks they were so famous for all the way down to the underground black markets. There was nothing left here for him, so why stay? What was the point?

It felt like the third time he'd asked himself those questions, and this time he seemed to have an answer, a probable explanation. When he'd first come to this place, he'd ended up with that thing, and maybe, just maybe now that he'd trained the thing up a bit stronger its owner would consider a trade for something better. Purpose was crucial, and now that he found one he zoomed in on it and cursed, spitting on the ground as some nasty fly made its way into his mouth. Once he was done with this, he could finally move on.

JERED HAD WANDERED these streets for far too long. He needed to move on, but he also knew he had to keep training his Pokemon - he needed to make sure he was ready before he challenged the gym leader. He didn't need his Pokemon and himself getting their asses handed to them, and that was exactly what was going to happen if he wasn't careful. Pursing his lips, Jered felt himself drifting in thought, soon catching his bottom lip between his teeth. Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he--

Oh, shit. Trying to catch his footing, Jered jerked his chin down, looking at the person he just walked into. "J-Jesus, I'm sorry," He stuttered, blinking quite a few times.

"Watch where you're going." He snapped - short, sharp, dismissing the man's apology with a turn of his head. If he knew the black market, they went where they pleased and tended to change locations quickly, and if he didn't move quicker to the place he'd last met that guy he risked losing them altogether. This guy bumping into him (and then looking down on him, of all things) didn't exactly help the time budget or his mood.

He sighed. "Look, was that everything? I've got somewhere I need to be, and they're not going to wait. Although I may as well be late now, seeing as I've just wasted more time explaining this situation." They waited for him last time, and there was always the fact that he'd dialed the guy's number beforehand, so they would wait again, if he made his 'offer' as good as it sounded. "You from out of town or something?" Because honestly, who did this kind of thing anymore?
