<sub>'I thought it would have donned on me by now, but I think the reality of it has only reached me because of how urgent the situation is, but I have to face it.

Dante is always right.'</sub>

There are a few choice words Coin had for this situation, none of them she would even think about saying aloud, but they fit the circumstances very well. Because right now she was being led around a library by her Soul-Mate because she had lost her glasses...again.

"I told you this would happen if you left them out in the open while you took a nap!." Dante scolded "Someone probably took them to the lost and found."
"Yeah, yeah I know, save me the sob story and help me find them, if we can't we'll have to sell the house to pay for new one, they cost a fortune!"
"We? Last time I checked I was finding the glasses that you couldn't even see if someone stole them off your face!"
Coin kept silent and her hand on Dante's fiery neck (YAY for fire retardant gloves!) as he lead her through the maze of books until suddenly he stopped and growled.
Coin stumbled and dropped to her knees from the sudden shock, their normal pace was quite fast, Dante was a Ponyta and she just couldn't keep still so they usually moved pretty quickly, and she couldn't see so tripping was inevitable.
"Hey, Dante what's wrong?!" She couldn't see, what Dante growling about? And since when could Ponyta growl?[/size]

Half skidding, half falling, he smashed into a chair and lay there, breathing heavily. The place was relatively empty, thank goodness, but the few occupants that were there glared at him angrily. Their initial expressions of disapproval morphed into looks of absolute fear as they realized that he lacked a soulmate. He stared defiantly back at all of them, too offended -and out of breath- to argue. When he didn't pull out a gun and start shooting them after several moments, the citizens decided that they didn't care anymore, and seemed to look away again, leaving him in peace. People were such idiots, sometimes. He simply sat there for a while, waiting for his heart to stop trying to pound its way out of his chest. He was just looking for a place to stay tonight. How was he supposed to know that the house had been occupied?! Ah, well, at least the owner wouldn't try looking for him here. Finally calmed down enough to do something productive, he pulled from his pocket a small brown wallet, his only reward for the recent misadventure. Flicking it open, he reached for the cash inside- only to find that the wallet was empty. "Dammit!" He hissed angrily, stowing the piece of leather out of sight once again. At this rate, he was never going to find enough money to get himself a place to stay. And he was sick of spending the nights in various trees. Turning to study the quiet library (and still pointedly ignoring the disapproving librarians), he paused as something silver and shiny caught his eye. A massive grin soon lit up his face: glasses were pretty expensive these days, weren't they? They would probably sell for a pretty penny. And if someone actually needed them, they wouldn't have left them behind, right? Right. Quickly swiping up the little metal object, he tucked it away. This would certainly help stave off his money problems for a little while. Now all he had to do was hang out in here for a while, until the coast was clear outside. Which was, of course, easier said than done. Though his parents had tried to teach him to read when he was little, it wasn't a skill that he practiced every day. So what he would do in a building full of books was a bit beyond him. Getting up from the chair, he wandered toward the back of the building, hoping to find a nice little corner where he could nap until this all blew over. But it didn't seem long before he was hopelessly lost in the maze of bookshelves. Deciding that this was good enough (and certainly much better than some places he had slept) he eased himself to the ground, his back against one of the massive shelves. He produced the little pair of glasses from his pocket once again, and began to play with them absentmindedly. He had always enjoyed playing with little trinkets, and found it relaxing. Call it a weakness. He had barely begun to doze off when voices broke through the calm. Blinking groggily, he turned his head, only to look up into the face of a growling fire-type Pokemon. Surprised, he jerked backward, letting the pair of silver glasses fall to the ground. A sickening lurch in his stomach signaled that his soulmate wanted to come out and fight, but he would definitely be in trouble if he shifted here. With a little moan, he shoved away the sensation, before scrambling away from the very, very angry Ponyta. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He spat at the creature. "Can't a guy catch a quick nap?" As he scrambled to his feet, he noticed, from the corner of his eye, that there seemed to be a girl a little ways away. She seemed... almost blind. Mind still foggy with hints of sleep, it was several moments before he remembered the glasses. Eyes widening, he snatched at them, scooping them up before taking several rapid steps backward. Perhaps the Pokemon hadn't noticed yet? Either way, a room full of highly flammable, rather ancient books was not the place to have a fire fight. "I really don't know who you are, but miss, if you could call this demon off me, I'd be grateful."[/style]	[atrb=style, width: 100px; vertical-align: top;][style=border: 5px solid transparent; opacity: 0.7] [/style]

<sub>'Money, I get, it makes the world go round, is essential to obtain food, housing and clothing who wouldn't jump at the opportunity to take that?

But who the f*ck steals a pair of glasses?'</sub>

"It seems that the person who took you glasses had no intention of turning them into the lost and found." Dante snarled through their bond.
"You mean...someone tried stealing my glasses...wow, that's sad."
"Is stealing m'lady." Coin snorted, stealing glasses, how pathetic, you couldn't even sell those thing, they're prescription, no one can see out of them but her, and it's not like the metal and glass would be more than a few bucks. So either this guy was hard pressed for cash, or just really stupid...or both, probably both.
Coin stood up and dusted herself off. Her eyes where hazy from being without her glasses so long but, she still stood up tall and looked in the general direction of the other with Dante’s help, no way was she going to let something stupid like lack of sight stop her! She never let the six hundred and ninety two other times she lost her glasses get to her!
"Hmm, let me think.....no." Coin smirked. "Not until you return my glasses, because Dante here seems to be under the impression that you stole them, after that I will pleased to get out of your hair."Psh, yeah right, like she was going to let him off the hook after calling herbeloved Ponyta a demon. She felt something akin to nervousness flow through her bond with Dante and she asked what was wrong in her mind.
"Miss Coin, he, he has no Soul-Mate..."

Come on, they were just glasses. Surely she wouldn't begrudge him an actual bed for once... But it seemed she would. What a pity. He never really liked fighting over things, it seemed like too much of a hassle for a few extra dollars. Ah, well. He would just have to talk his way out of this one. "Your glasses?" A soft, humorless chuckle accompanied the scornful voice. "I'm afraid it's finders-keepers, little miss. I don't care about whatever impressions that horse of yours seems to have." Come on, they were just glasses. Surely she wouldn't burn down a library purely to get them back... Then, the strangest thing, the Ponyta stopped growling. His head snapping quickly to stare at the creature, he noticed something a bit off. It seemed... Nervous, somehow. Ryou's eyes narrowed in anger as he realized the cause. Really, a shifter couldn't go anywhere these days without the word "Unifi" floating around! The Darmanitan inside of him seethed quietly, feeding off of his anger, trying to force its way out. With a rough cough, he forced his gaze back over to the girl. Maybe he could play this angle. "Besides, I really wouldn't recommend messing around with someone like me." His voice was low, menacing. Well, as menacing as possible, fighting the change this hard. If he didn't do something, and fast, he was going to shift here in public. Then all hell would break loose.[/style]	[atrb=style, width: 100px; vertical-align: top;][style=border: 5px solid transparent; opacity: 0.7] [/style]

<sub>'My sight is my livley hood, without it I have nothing to provide for the people who depend one me.

Dante, Tanya, I swore I would always protect you, I promised myself to keep that swear.'</sub>

Coins eyes narrowed and a scowl was plastered to her face, she didn't give a damn if this guy didn't a have a soul mate, he was probably Unifi and deserved it anyways, the breeder inside of her also through out shifter, but she was to angry to listen to it, besides they where too rare and the chances of Unifi were much higher. she had those glasses since she was three, they cost almost a thousand dollars, where custom made and would take at least a month to get them made and imported, but in that time span she would loose all her business, how could she take care of Pokemon when she couldn't even see? She would go bankrupt and she had no where else to go!
Consequences be dammed she was getting those glasses back! "Look here, asshole." She said gesturing to her eyes, that were stating previously to be cloudy and unfocused. "Those glasses probably cost more than your life and if you don't hand them over I don't think I will hesitate to burn this library down to get them back, because I will." Her voice was cold but this was more than just a matter of sight it was a matter of pride, she was going to be the Professor someday and no way in hell was some Unifi grunt going to take that a way from her.
She issued Dante a mental order nd he moved quickly to the other side of the guy, preventing escape. "Miss Coin, you were just bluffing about the burning the building down, right?"
"Yeah, sure Dante." Dante was not soothed by these thoughts.[/size]

Whadya know. This blind little girl, who had seemed so pathetic and naive at first, was actually getting pretty pissed. This could get fun. "Look here, asshole." A dry chuckle, and then Ryou’s voice interrupted her. ”Insults aren’t going to help, ya know.” Even though the girl couldn’t see the smug little grin on his face, she could probably hear it in his voice. Just as well, really, because people tended to make stupid mistakes when they were mad. If she completely lost it, it would be that much easier to get away from this place. ”Those glasses probably cost more than your life and-“ Before the second part of her sentence had the time to sink in, a broad grin split the thief’s face. ”Ha! I knew these things were worth something!” Letting his left hand sink into his pocket, right twirling the glasses carelessly, he leaned up against the nearest bookshelf, casual as could be. All he had to do was get away from this psycho, and then he was home free. ”Oh, sorry, were you still talking?” ”-to burn this library down to get them back, because I will." He had only really paid attention to the second half of her statement, but her point was clear enough. The tiniest hint of a frown flitted across his face, but the cocky grin was back again in a flash. ”Threats are really only going to make your position worse.” He laughed, harshly, without a hint of amusement. ”If you think I’m scared of a little fire, then I’m afraid you have another think coming.” He didn’t move as the Ponyta circled around him, didn’t give the Pokemon the slightest recognition. Frankly, the tiny sum that the glasses would fetch him really wasn’t worth this. But it was now a matter of pride, and the fire-type wasn’t going to back down and risk appearing weak. With a soft click, the glasses ceased spinning around his fingers, stopped cold in his clenched fist. ”You get one shot. Go ahead and leave this place, nice and peacefully. Or you can face the consequences.” [/style]	[atrb=style, width: 100px; vertical-align: top;][style=border: 5px solid transparent; opacity: 0.7] [/style]

<sub>'Pride and Desperation where things that never seemed to get along very well, but occasionally you will find, that they produce the same result

This was not one of those occasions.'</sub>

Coin was seething, there where a multitude of options. One, to get Dante to tackle him, probable out come; breaking glasses. Two, punch him in the face, probable out come; missing. Three bargaining, probable out come; wounded pride. Four, giving up and do what he says and that wouldn't happen in five f**cking million years. Best solution; bargaining, do you accept that the out come will include a blow to the ego and probably include helping a Unifi?
"Dante...stand down." The Ponyta looked confused for a moment but return to its soul-mates side.
"Okay, first thing is I'm not leaving without those glasses, they’re too important." She sighed was she really going to say this? She thought of Dante, Tanya and all the other pokemon she was taking care of.
" "But I'm willing to give you something else and you get to choose, one hundred dollars right now and you give me the glasses I give you the money and we never see each other ever again or something else."
"
"M'lady--" Dante tried to intervene, this was unlike his other half, she was always so confident and would never stand down like this. I was part of the joke between them of him calling her, 'M'lady' and 'Miss Coin' she hated how it made her sound so weak and feminine, but here she was bargaining with this b*st*ard, he didn't like it he didn't have a soul-mate it was unnatural, wrong he knew his kind was supposed to be able to spot other soul-mates from a distance, but like Coin was blind in her eyes, he was almost as blind in this sense, he wanted no harm to fall to his Coin, so even though he was told to stand down, his eyes stayed narrowed, his posture still tense and his eyes still held distrust.

"But first answer this question, are you Unifi?"

A sly grin flickered across Ryou’s face. A hundred bucks? It would certainly make up for this whole rotten encounter. Maybe blackmail worked better than stealing, after all. ”Deal.” He blurted out, before he had really thought it through. Then, the eagerness in his voice replaced by wariness, he continued. ”But… No calling the Rangers on me, ya hear?” He hated Rangers. Hated them. No hundred bucks was worth a tangle like that. Slowly, he unfolded the glasses, watching them intently, as if they held the answer to his predicament. Seemingly satisfied, he stepped away from the bookshelves, heading towards the girl, eyes glued on her Pokemon… "But first answer this question. Are you Unifi?" His head snapped around to glare at her, eyes narrow pinpricks of malice. ”What did you say?!” His bark was low, an inhuman snarl. He could tell that she had been musing over this question for a while, but saying that word to his face… It was too much for the shifter to bear. Ideas of a peaceful bargain long gone, he took a threataning step toward her... ”Dammit!” Ryou stopped dead in his tracks, all thoughts of revenge quickly forgotten. Surprise, anger, and then fear, all flickered across his face in quick succession. After a moment, this, too, was replaced by one expression: pain. And then, of course, he shifted. It wasn’t glorious and beautiful, like most shifters. He was never that lucky. He was not… ah, at peace with his soulmate, and their stubborn battle against each other made each shift a living hell. Each attempt to halt the change only ended in making it slower and more painful, but he fought it stubbornly, with no regard to the consequences. Yet, he lost in the end, and after what seemed like a century –though technically it was only a few moments- a massive Darmanitan stood there in Ryou’s place. It growled at the girl, fist curled up, any thoughts of glasses long forgotten. It had been insulted! No pathetic little pony was going to get in the way of its revenge.

“Hmm, good”
Suddenly she felt Dante jumped back in surprise, while Coin stood their clueless. But she felt warmer, for some reason. he boy sounded in pain, she tried to move forward on impulse but Dante bit the back of hr shirt stopping her and making her fall on to her knees again. Damn those were going to bruise, but she defiantly felt heat, and maybe heard the small sound of glass breaking.
”COIN, get back!” The Ponyta cried tugging on her shirt again.
”Why?” She questioned she couldn’t see, she didn’t know what was going on.
”He, he turned into a Pokemon, what is he?” Dante was scared, why wasn’t she moving, this was weird, what if he was dangerous?
Coin’s eyes widened, he turned into a Pokemon? That-that’s explains it, why he doesn’t have a Soul-Mate, because his Soul-Mate is a part of his body. She stayed in place, her eyes shone with some thing she didn’t know the words for, he was a shifter, he was a shifter, something that was supposed to be so rare she never thought she’d ever even get to see one from a distance. Her hand reached out so slowly and gingerly, her eyes shone brighter.
”A Shifter…that’s so..” The words weren’t there, but she guessed she could sum it up.

“AMAZING!” She didn’t care how loud it was or how many people stared, this was amazing, she actua;;y got to meet a shifter, oh god why didn’t she have her glasses, this was almost a one in a life time chance! The scientist inside her was screaming for sight, she wanted to see this with her own eyes, this had to be the best day of her life!

_{((Yeah, Coin wasn’t raised in Aniferma, she thinks being a shifter has to be the coolest thing on the planet, not bad because you don’t have a Soul-Mate.))}[/size]

Its ego considerable boosted, the Pokemon made a split second decision- this girl would get her trinket back, free of charge. Grinning, but still keeping one eye on the Ponyta, the Darmanitan uncurled its fist. A little bent, perhaps, but relatively unharmed, the little silver glasses appeared. Placing them gently on the ground, it flicked its wrist, sending the glasses spinning across the floor. Making a tiny clicking sound, they bumped softly against the stranger’s knee. The creature hooted good-naturedly, all hints of aggression evaporating with its boosted ego. "Please, gimme a break..." Ryou's voice, once again, cut into the Pokemon's thoughts. It simply ignored him, watching the girl to make sure she wasn't still mad. [/style]	[atrb=style, width: 100px; vertical-align: top;][style=border: 5px solid transparent; opacity: 0.7] [/style]

It was quiet for a while, she and Dante where staring, well more Dante than her, at the shifter in front of them. She felt something bump against her knee but she didn’t move until Dante nudged her. She felt around and picked up her glasses and slipped them on.
”Miss Coin-.” Dnate tried to warn her but it was to late and her hand shot up under her glasses to her eyes as she screwed them shut in pain.
”I was going to tell you that you’re supposed to squint when you put them back on after you lost them for awhile because it gives you a headache if you don’t, but oh well.”
”F*ck you Dante.” She mumbled she rubbed them for a moment before looking back in front of her and there he was bright as day, a Darmanitan. So it was true he was a shifter, the jerk who had stole her glasses turned into the one thing that fascinated her the most.

She couldn’t help the smile that broke across her face, this was amazing, she had so many questions to ask him, or was it them? Did shifters have two different personalities for them and their Soul-Mates, or where they just one being in the mind? Was Shifting painful? She had heard the pained noises he was making earlier. But why did he change? Was changing voluntary or involuntary? Or both? She cut her train of thought short when she realised he was looking at her like he wanted some kind of response.

”Oh, sorry, I kind of zoned out there.” She apologised, laughing slightly. ”It’s just that, wow, I never thought I’d actually get to meet a shifter, it’s so rare I didn’t think I’d ever get the privilege.” While she rambled on Dnate cocked his head to I=one side and looked at the other Fire-Type and walked closer, he gave a short sniff and looked a little more perplexed, but said nothing.

”Um, hey I forgot to ask when I was asking for my glasses back, what’s your name?” I donned on her that he probably couldn’t talk while in Pokemon form but it was to late to think how stupid that sounded now so extended her hand in a greeting.

”My name is Coin, Coin Hawthorn, I own and run Coin Toss Breeding Down the street and well I know we just met but, would you mind coming to my house and answering some questions for me? I still have to pay you for my glasses.”

The Darmanitan flinched a bit, not sure whether or not it was in for a fight... But then she grinned, and a distant look crossed her face. That was weird. Shifters almost never prompted dreams. Swears and threats, sure, but admiration? This was new. ”It’s just that, wow, I never thought I’d actually get to meet a shifter, it’s so rare I didn’t think I’d ever get the privilege.” The creature's eyes widened at this, and it let out a disbelieving little laugh. A privilege? To meet Ryou? The irony in that statement was just- The Darmanitan stopped short and stiffened as the Ponyta approached. The girl seemed friendly, but then, he and his human were never on the same page. Why would these two be? It curled up its fist, ready to defend itself... But then the other fire-type simply sniffed, not preparing any sort of attack at all. Huh. Normal soulmates were so confusing sometimes. ”Um, hey I forgot to ask when I was asking for my glasses back, what’s your name?" Oh, sure. Like the Darmanitan could talk. It huffed slightly, its dignity wounded, and jumped back again, suddenly. The girl's arm had just shot out! But then the Pokemon realized that this was a gesture of peace, and it relaxed. Okay, perhaps it tended to be a bit on the paranoid side. That was a side-affect of living with Ryou 24-7. ”My name is Coin, Coin Hawthorn, I own and run Coin Toss Breeding Down the street and well I know we just met but, would you mind coming to my house and answering some questions for me? I still have to pay you for my glasses.” "Ah ha! Yes!" Speaking of Ryou. His little cry of glee echoed breifly through the fire-type's mind. It grunted, slightly upset. This girl- Coin- was actually impressed by him. She would get her glasses back for free. Ignoring its human's silent protests, the Darmanitan smiled and nodded its massive head.

_{'This is so late, It's not even funny.'}

Coin smiled brightly and stood up dusting herself off, she made a mental note to wear jeans the next couple of weeks because her knees where going to be bruised. "That's great thank you!" Coin was happy and Dante was a lot less wary now, he likes this Pokemon form better, it seemed more trustable than the man it was just in the form of.
People were definitely staring now, well more like glaring but it was still a very directional glare so I guess it could be classified as staring. Coin gave them all a look "Awe, just go back to your books you nosey prudes." She snapped, then ignored them.
Just then something dawned on Dante"M'lady, though I think we have offended this man enough for one day, we are bringing him to our home and well..." He trailed off giving her a look and glancing back at the Darmanitan.
"Oh yeah..." Coin said clueing in after a moment. "That could be a problem." She said running a hand through her hair. She looked the other fire type up and down, he might be a perpetually grinning one but it wouldn't help their case.
"Hey, um, wow this is so awkward without knowing your name, but I'm going to need you to change back, not only will it make asking you questions so much easier, but...I have a little Riolu named Tanya back a t my house and she's really easily spooked, no offense, but anything bigger than her that isn't Dante scares her and it would be easier to not traumatize her for life if you shifted back before then."
