Generic mingling post!!

[Anyone and anymon with a sense of smell may notice a rather nice one coming from the direction of the Pokemon Center, or maybe they'll see the small crowd first...

It looks like someone got permission to put a long table full of food out in front of the center. It's got berry pies, berry cakes, berry juice, and even a few rare candies. Anyone who doesn't like berries is out of luck, but there's all kinds of treats for those who do. A card placed on the table says it's all free to be taken, and a young man with pink hair will be helping any younger kids or shorter 'mons get what they want.

A little group of people has gathered around to eat standing up or sitting in the Center's lobby. Come get a snack? And maybe introduce yourself to the other (unfortunate) people here?]

I haven't been home for over a year. [And she can't be older than ten]

[...why are you saying that with a smile, tiny child.]

I... see. [this would be where he gave you another headpat if the last one hadn't ended in awkward] Then I guess you'll be okay on your own...

[..Little trainers go through so much these days...]

[relevantribbons]

[Well. It was an "ahaha sob" kind of awkward smile. But yes she's been through worse. Nearly dying does that to you]

Well, I'm not on my own, I've got my pokemon with me.

[solacement]

...yeah, that's true.

[Another glance at the Breloom.]

But be sure to come to the Center if something happens, okay? Though I guess you know that...

[relevantribbons]

I do, don't worry.

[NOPE, SORRY, HE'S HAD A CONVERSATION WITH YOU. WORRY IS UNAVOIDABLE]

Okay, I won't. [...] Um. Would you like some juice or something, too?

[Directed at the Breloom.]

[relevantribbons]

[... holding his clawed hand out. Yes please]

[solacement]

[OKAY he'll just go back to the table and- whoa hi teddiursa when did you get over here... a-anyway.

Have a paper cup of lemonade, Breloom. Shai hands it over kind of tentatively, but he's smiling again.]

[relevantribbons]

[Breloom takes his cup. But Lani is more interested in--] Is that a teddiursa?

[solacement]

[He nods.]

Yeah. [....oh wait.] -And I'm Shai.

[That was an awful lot of conversation and awkward before he actually remembered to introduce himself...]

[relevantribbons]

[Did we introdu--oh well] Lani.
