prompt: aaaaTaking out the letter from its envelope, a Rockruff started reading before groaning. If it weren't for his fur, the blush underneath would be visible. "Alpha," the Rockruff whined to his guild leader, "I need your help."
aaaaA Shinx glanced the Rockruff, then padded over to him. "What is it, Beta?" he asked, masking with curiosity with a bored tone.
aaaaBeta slid the letter over to his guild leader and the Shinx began reading. Quickly, he understood what his deputy had meant by 'help.'

Dear Koshu Inochi,
aaaaThank you so much for bringing me back home! I can't believe I got lost in the forest. Now that I'm thinking about it, I feel so embarrassed. You didn't need to help me, but you did! And the other pokemon - a Shinx, was it? Tell him thanks, too! Both of you could've eaten me with your sharp teeth - I thought you were thieves at first, but you turned out so friendly!
aaaaUm. So I did a bit of research and apparently you're part of a guild? Thank you so much for saving me! You two weren't even on a mission! I left you a good rating on the 'best guilds' poll.
aaaaAnd I was thinking... maybe I could visit you one day? I know we'll probably never see each other again, but I sent an application to join your guild. Accept it? Please?
P.S. Oh my Arceus, I can't believe that I was saved by the prince. Thank you, thank you!
Forever yours,
Ariata the Pidove (I think I'm in love!)- - - - - - - - - - - -
aaaaAlpha snorted when he finished reading. "'Koshu,' Beta?" he echoed. "Arceus, how did she know you were a prince? I don't call you 'Inochi' in public for a reason!"
aaaaThe Rockruff buried his face in paws in embarrassment as Alpha continued, "'I think I'm in love.'"
aaaa"Alpha, stop," Beta begged. "She wanted to apply to the guild - you're not going to accept her, are you?" the Rockruff asked in desperation.
aaaaThe Shinx barked out a laugh. "Of course not! We don't need lovestruck pokemon in this guild."
aaaa"Oh, thank you," Beta muttered in relief.
aaaaAn idea sparked in Alpha's eyes. "Or actually, we could put her to work in the second sector..."
aaaaBeta lurched up in horror. "Gosh, Alpha, no!"
