Desmond blinked, listening to the conversation. Especially once he ended up being brought into it, simply staring at April as she spoke. Mentioning the whole 'traveling' bit he still wasn't absolutely certain of yet. He noted her lack of mentioning supplies, and didn't mention it as she understood why she wouldn't want either of them to know that. She'd be fixing that error before leaving again, surely she'd be alright. His attention turned to Rick as he was spoken to directly, a nervous chuckle escaping him as Rick's hand fell on his shoulder. 

[color=fff200]"Uh... N-Noted, sir."[/color] Desmond replied, trying to be polite. His eyes darted off in a different direction momentarily, catching Viola's attention as much as April's blushing did.

[color=39b54a]"Hah, this is just too cute! Really wish I could get a picture of such a natural moment."[/color] Viola commented with a bit of laughter, seeming to jump on the embarrassment train without second thought, knocking Desmond into blush territory.

[color=fff200]"Wh-What's that supposed to mean...?"[/color] Desmond muttered to himself, considering the implications of such a comment in a small, momentary silence. 

Viola seemed amused by his silence, but didn't comment any further in that direction. [color=39b54a]"Well, I suppose if you're traveling together, than I'll be seeing you tomorrow as well, April?"[/color] She simply smiled at April, assuming they'd be on opposite sides of the field again tomorrow. That was fine, though. Because Desmond would need all the support he could get to win their Gym Battle. Viola couldn't simply go easy on him because he was her friend, after all!
