Snippet #2702418

"Scram, kid! Go beg for jobs someplace else!"

Following that loudly yelled statement, a blonde haired boy and his belongings were unceremoniously tossed out of the Mistralton City airport. "Uggh, my back..." Although it sounded like he was in pain, it didn't take him long to get right back up on his feet and march back into the airport, shouting "Come on, let me help out!" as he went.

It also didn't take long for him to be tossed right back out. After a bit of groaning, Cassander stood up and skulked off. "Man, the job market must be really tough nowadays if I can't find a job the first place I look..." He was muttering to himself now, as he dragged himself to the Pokécenter. "There's gotta be something a talented, yet experienceless young man can do around these parts..."

As he was about to enter through the automatic doors, he overheard two strangers discussing something rather urgently. "Did you notice... It was definitely her... towards... tower with her..." It was hard to make out, but to Cassander it sounded as if someone inportant was headed to that nearby tower.What was that place called again..? Ceremomious Tower? Celery tower? Definitely something with a 'C'...

Cassander tried his best to recall the exact name of the tower; regrettably, he failed. What he did manage to remember, however, was that someone back in one of the last cities told him that they were often looking for people to help out, and to Cassander that meant jobs! Turning away from the Pokécenter, he began to sprint in the direction of the Celestial Tower, spraying Repel on himself as he ran.

It didn't take long for the tower to be in sight. He knew he would make it there soon. However, his pace was ever so slightly slowed down by the pink haired being in front of him dragging a gaggle of luggage along with her. Cassander could always sprint around them, but what if they were a girl? Wouldn't that mean it would be better to help her carry her stuff? Too awkward to make up his mind, Cassander instead decided that just walking at her pace a while behind her was a better idea. At least, until he saw her trip and fall.

Catching up to her quickly, Cassander knelt down with his bag at his side. "Hey, you alright?" He asked, before noticing the blood. "Yikes, that's quite the scrape. Lemme see if I have anything to clean that up with..." Without waiting for an answer, he began to look for something to help clean her elbow off with. After a moment of digging through his bag, Cassander pulled out some gauze and a bottle of fresh water. "This will have to do..." He said under his breath, pouring some of the water on the bit of gauze. "This may sting a little."

Without hesitation, he began to gently but firmly clean the blood from this stranger's scrape. He hoped they didn't mind; he had already been denied being helpful once today. Still, the thought about who this exactly was never really crossed his mind. He was single mindedly focused on helping this stranger out.
