Claude was not the last to arrive. Just as Sean had greeted him, two more trainers approached. A boy and a girl about the same age as the rest of them. While the boy was more upfront, she seemed to hold back. Praxis and Carna, huh? He caught the Kalos accent on their voices. However, they didn't share the soft pampered tone his mother's business associates from the region all seemed to have. [i]Interesting[/i]. He glanced at Bliss, but the Furfrou's dyed fur was holding the Aipom's attention. "Don't even think about it," Claude murmured. Bliss's grin widened.

Their group walked into the lab, and Claude and Bliss found themselves unable to keep their eyes on just one thing. Claude had never been in a lab before, and he felt quite out of his element. But it was interesting. There were machines and gadgets of various shapes and sizes along with a bunch of other strange things, and he couldn't help but wonder what their purpose could be. Still, the curiosity for why he and the others had been called here was stronger.

"So what-" he began to ask the man leading them, when someone else's question interrupted his own. Claude turned to find that the bookish girl from earlier was raving about some rock. As expected from the Furfrou, she also had the Kalos accent. A grin crossed his face, as the girl's unbridled excitement just seemed funny for some reason.  The sight of the the lab aide picking his books off the floor and scowling in the girl's direction just made the entire scene for him, however and in moments he was laughing.

He managed to calm himself, though his eyes were left slightly watery and some color had rushed to his face. This was where he usually apologized and clarified he was laughing [i]with[/i] someone and not at them, but in this case he really was laughing at her. Instead he just shrugged with an amused smile. "If that was geeking out a little, I'd love to see what you call geeking out a lot."
