[ It's hard to tell Mimikyu's expressions when there are only two little eye holes in the costume, but his body movements are enough. He stares at the broken wrist for a long time and then tugs on Nanami's sleeve. She doesn't seemed very bothered by the gross sprinkler water anymore, now that her concern is now placed on Minato, so she doesn't react to his apologetic look. It's fine. Her wet clothes are not a big problem compared to a broken wrist. ]
[ As Mimikyu continues to pull on her clothes, she looks down and tilts her head. He tilts his head as well but in repeated motions out the door, from the path that he came from. ]
Do you want us to follow you?
[ There's a nod. He knows a place where humans can stay! Pokemon aren't allowed in unless they're with a trainer but he can pretend that he's with them. She then looks up at Minato. She also realizes that she doesn't know his name. ]
[ A month later in the intro log they introduce themselves to everybody else and then turn to stare at each other because oh, that's what your name is. ]
Yeah, I'll be fine. Lead the way, mm... Mimikyu?
[ Is that his name? Nanami should give him a cute name, like the future Facehugger they're going to run into, because Minato sticks his head out the doorway again to see if they can take pit stops under anything on the way to wherever they're going, and all he can see in the downpour are a bunch of trees valiantly holding up as best they can in the rain, trying their hardest to hold onto the few berries that are left on the branches. ]
[ Mimikyu takes back his claw to salute. He will lead them safely! But before that, Nanami gently lifts him up so she can take her hoodie-wrapped handhelds and set them gently in her bag. She then places the Pokemon back in with the egg. ]
Keep them safe, Mimikyu-chan.
[ She will think of a cute nickname like Facehugger later. In the meanwhile, they gotta make it through this awful rain. Mimikyu will lead by pointing the way as Nanami holds her bag in her arms, making zig-zags to stop underneath trees to take a break and for him to double-check that he's taking them the right way. The inn is around here somewhere! He'll stop and think when they're under the first tree, which shakes but maybe that's just the rain and wind... Nanami certainly doesn't notice because she is out of breath. She's a gamer, not a runner. ]
[ Minato is practically a marathon runner after a year of climbing stairs and cutting monsters every night, so his frustrations revolve less around breathing and more around having to trot after Nanami and Mimikyu instead of leading like he usually does. That's a weird feeling, being able to follow for once instead of lead, but he uses the opportunity to keep an eye on things and nudge Nanami out of the way of a large puddle here or low tree branch there or
a facehugger to the face, his vision suddenly going black and body cold and numb, mind drifting and fogging over like when the Arcana Lovers...
He shakes his head quickly, dislodging the Yamask from his face and catching her in his arms. Golden eyes glare up at him and two black hands rise up from either side of the mask and squashes Minato's cheeks. ]
[ Nanami is easily nudged to the side as she's not the type to plant her feet into the ground. With the slippery mud underneath them, she nearly slips but Mimikyu grabs a hold of the tree trunk to keep them steady. He has quite the long arms. Just how big is he underneath that costume? We may never know... ]
[ Standing up straight again and readjusting the bag in her arms, she looks over at Minato. Immediately, her mood picks up again. ]
Oh, a shiny Yamask!
[ Nanami is going to do this for the entire game; just exclaiming every Pokémon's name like a glorified Pokedex. She moves closer, almost uncomfortably close into Minato's personal bubble, so she can take a closer look. She doesn't reach out to touch her and Mimikyu also keeps his hands to himself. ]
Mm, you seem to attract a lot of shinies. Your luck stats must be pretty high.
[ Mimikyu did body slam himself into Minato before going into her bag so she considers the encounter to be have started by this blue-haired fellow. ]
[ He's not all that convinced this is good luck, all things considered, but this is yet another Persona(?) that he's never seen before, though the thing does remind him of the simple blobby Maya Shadows of the early Tartarus floors. He had lots of fun chasing those around while they squealed and ran away, but this little one is pretty bold, unrelentingly squishing his cheeks even as he holds it out at arm's length. ]
Yamashk, huh...
[ He pulls his face away so he can speak a little clearer, but the Yamask just pulls his face even closer, staring at him for a moment, and then it suddenly lets go, settling back in his arms with its own hands on either of his wrists— his okay one, and his broken one too which starts to feel numb and cold as black smoke starts to pour out of Yamask's mouth. ]
Uh—-
[ Minato quickly looks to Nanami to explain, but the Haze is just ice cold and surprising, it doesn't hurt. Broken bones are unfortunately not a stat change Yamask can reverse. ]
