SubonicXP Sub would soon reappear back at HQ with the young Vulpix hybrid in his arms. The trainer was still chilled from their frozen voyage, and now all he wanted to do was jump in a bath full of hot water. "Man, where is the thermostat? We need to crank the heat up in here." Sub said as he walked off to find the thermostat, Tails still in his arms, he got sort of used to carrying him around. Ceramew said, before shakily floating off to Amaranth's room. Poor thing was shivering pretty bad right now. "If anything, I would imagine a chance to regain his chi stores and thus get his warmth back to normal. Normally I would help without hesitation, but I spent a fair amount trying to keep my own body temperature up." Sol answered. "I can still offer what I have, but bear in mind it'll be limited. Or I can warm up a tub."

"Typhlosion huh? Come on, I got an idea." Sub said as he carried Tails off upwards, to the bathroom. Normal people might misconstrue this situation and consider Sub to be a pervert, which he was, but this situation was completely innocent, he just wanted to help the tiny fox out. "Here you." As he entered the bathroom he sat the fox down, so that he may stand on his own.
Sub would make his way over to the tub and begin to draw a warm bath for the fox, pure hot water. Of course, he knew what would be scalding to him or any other human, would come off as lukewarm to Tails, so he released his Houndoom, Edgar, to fix this problem."Flamethrower Edgar, heat up the water." He told the dog.
The Houndoom would let out a whine, as if scared at the sight of the water. Despite his initial fear the canine would breath fire at the water sitting in the tube, heating it up like a stove would to boil some water. "I would ask how hot is too hot but certainly the words too and hot never go together when it comes to your kind, huh?" He said with a laugh.

"Great, kiddo, thanks for loaning him to me," Night said, watching as the Weavile took off before turning her attention to Sol, "Speaking of which. You gotta teach me how to do that, Turkey."

"As I said. It's a matter of handling your own chi. Teaching one to do that, really, isn't the easiest task. The more you learn, the more manipulating your own stores comes naturally." Sol said.

Tails knelt down aside the tub and watched the flames dance off the steaming interface above the water. Always, always, he enjoyed watching the point at which water explode into boiling when fire was directly applied to the surface. "Thank you, Edgar," he said. Part of him felt sorry for the dog, though. To be a fire Pokemon that withers against water must have been torture.
When Edgar was done, he rose and tentatively dipped his foot in the tub. He'd heard some things about the fires of Houndoom, but it seemed they were either exaggerated or they had control of that cursed property. Too, his ears drooped and he hissed through his teeth. "Thaaaat's good," he said.
As he sat, he recalled one time he'd sneaked into a metalworks in the dead of winter. It was very warm inside, and before he even knew Blizz. He choked back a laugh then. "Actually, molten copper is way too hot for me."

"You said before it takes some time to learn. Care to give me a timeframe?" She asked, tails slowly moving away as the chill from Snowpoint eased away, "Cause, to be honest, I'm not really looking forward to going anywhere near snow again until I can at least learn the basics of keeping myself warm."

"Molten copper...I- how do you even know that for sure? Did you just decide one day, gee, I'm going to jump in this vat of molten copper, I bet it feels great! But it didn't feel great and you had to rub the ointment on twice a week for the next month." Sub remarked, watching the hybrid relax in the tube. Normally this would be awkward if it were a human watching another human, but Tails was covered in fur, so it wasn't like he could see his unmentionables in the first place.

"Sadly, I can't give one. If you don't have a lot of experience, then it'll take longer than you'll care for." Sol answered. "I can help teach you, but admittedly, it'll be better to find someone even more versed than I."

"Well I didn't jump in," said Tails in such a tone that suggested even he thought it was a bad idea. And Tails enjoyed executing bad ideas. "I did stick my hand in though. It was a few months before the fur grew back."
As he soaked, he leaned forward to let his tails drift. "You know, though. One day, I want to get so good at controlling heat that I -can- jump into a vat of molten metal and not die."

"Unfortunately, you're the only other flaming one around since Fox took off to Hyda," Night said with a slight shrug, "I mean, there is Tails, but I'm not sure how good of a teacher he'd be, given his age and all. Speaking of which, you talk about this as though you've been at it for a while. Just how old are you, exactly?"

"Let's see... I'd say I've been at it for some time. Quite a few years have passed since my transition to a hybrid, let alone learning what I know now. In any case, I'm fifty-seven." To Sol, it didn't mean much. While that age might say a few things, he didn't really look much past someone in their thirties.

"Ah, well then, I suppose its a good thing you don't dive in head first to things, especially in such a situation as the one you out lined." Said Sub as he rocked back on his heels a bit. "So...feeling any better are you?" He asked the fox, he wanted to make sure he was okay before he left.

TerashiLeonGoken "You do that... Just, please... spare this one. For me?" Keiko asked cutely, hoping to catch Lykas off-guard, Being gay, though, probably made Lykas less susceptible to her feminine charms. "So, why don't we talk to this Sub guy, and get it over with? I get the feeling he'll be easier to talk to than... well, you know." Odd nodded at Keiko's suggestion of going to talk to Sub. Lykas tried not to frown at the request to spare the adorable pink blob of newborn Happiny when he finally succeeded in his plans of mass genocide against all pink Pokemon. "Fine..." He finally conceded, letting a small smile escape his lips. Keiko had been misinformed by Odd but he wouldn't correct his lover's mistake just yet. Keiko could think he was strictly into men for a while longer. SubonicXP "Hm? Oh, he kind of over did it, I assume. He's a little worn out from scaring off a large group of Sneasel." Sub had explained to Night. "Well, what would help you recover quicker?" He asked the tiny fox in his arms. "Speak of Darkrai and he shall appear!" Odd declared at the sound of Sub's voice echoing into the Medlab. "That would be him, there." He told Keiko as he looked over at Lykas. "It's your request. You can go ask." He told the bluette. Lykas cheered before he grabbed Keiko's hand and led her off towards the main lobby. "Where's Sub?!" He asked when he spotted several hybrids without the team's human leader amongst them.

"Nnn, yeah," said Tails. "Might not be back to fighting for a few days, but I helped and I feel better. And then I'll probably cough up water when I fall asleep in here eventually but I'll live. Um." His eyes widened as he glanced back up to Sub. "If you see Blizz, tell him I'm in here please? I don't want him to get worried about me."

"Fif-wait, fifty-seven?" Night asked, giving Sol a disbelieving look, "Fifty-seven. You've aged well, Gramps. Especially given Aden's age and all."
Sol would then be saved from further teasing from Night as the two walked into the room, "Uh, he went off to give Tails a hot bath."
