Kasumi didn't know what to do now. It seemed as though the emperor wasn't making his speech anytime soon, and people were filling the time by eating and talking with each other. However, she was too scared to get up and brave that crowd to get to the food laden tables, and she had no one to talk to. Even her Pokemon didn't seem to be making friends, at least according to the slight growls and hisses she heard when they first made their entrance into the large hall. Kasumi softly stroked Taika's head, the Arcanine's eyes closing as he made a sound similar to a rumbling purr. Tsubasa chirped, a jealous sound if she ever heard one, so Kasumi stroked him with her other hand. However Kiseki, not usually one for the rambunctious activities of her partners, decided that this was a good time to join in the fun and promptly headbutted her knees, forcing her to fall to the ground under the large pile of her Pokemon.

"Alright, alright, let me up!" She laughed, shoving Taika off of her, feeling free to be rough with the large animal. She was a bit gentler with Kiseki, because of the sharpness of her horn and tail, and didn't bother to remove Tsubasa from her shoulder at all. Ah, what a group they all made. She would wonder how she managed to deal with them all, but it was more likely that they dealt with her.[/color][/center]
