[center] They moved like they had somewhere to be. Praxis and Carna were no strangers to walking within cities. One had to keep a strong demeanor and walk briskly, or risk getting haggled. If they looked out of place, they might as well be putting targets on their backs. They had arrived within Estoria to meet the pokemon professor of the Fordis region. Starting their journey would be difficult, but it was something they had wanted to do for ages. No one could stop them now. They refused to be deterred from their many goals. Praxis clutched Carna's hand with one of his own, making sure not to lose her within the thick crowds. Eventually, they came upon the pokemon lab. Praxis weaved his way through the crowd, taking the lead until they reached the glass doors, which automatically slid open for them. A crooked grin plastered on his face, Praxis stepped forward, gaze moving from the professor, to the two other individuals in the room. From the looks of it, it seemed as though he and Carna were the first ones to arrive. "Looks like we're the early birds." The blond young man gazed over at the pokeballs lined up, looking quite intrigued. Carna followed his gaze, but did not speak up. She remained silent due to pure shyness. [/center]
