Relief washed over the Mawile as the two Water-types took their conversation to a relatively private location, all whilst lowering their tone. A soft nervous-type chuckle escaped Celty's maw as she thought to herself, [color=faeba2][i]Thankfully it seems I was the only one to overhear their conversation...[/i][/color] Despite the bubbling sense of dread coming from deep within, everything—for the moment—was as it should be. Perfectly fine. 

Or it [i]would have been[/i] had Celty not felt something smack hard into her steel jaws. Given that they were [i]steel[/i], it hurt the poor Eevee significantly more than it hurt her. Which meant, it didn't hurt. That, however, was not what ruined the moment. Even had the accident hurt, it was still just that; an accident. Accidents could be forgiven. 

Turning around to notify the Normal-type that everything was fine, Celty's mouth opened. The words that were about to come out of her lips were something akin to, [b][color=d4cca8][i]I'm fine, don't worry about it. Are[/i] you [i]all right? That must have hurt.[/i][/color][/b] That did not happen. Unfortunately, upon fixing her gaze upon the young Pokémon, Celty reeled. Red eyes widened as Celty looked upon the Eevee with an expression that may have resembled heartbreak. Perhaps distress. It was an odd mixture of pained emotions, however it would be very clear that the Mawile was not [i]mad[/i]. A single sound escaped the Mawile's lips, though it would be barely audible, [color=faeba2]"L-Lu...?"[/color]

Blinking a few times whilst staring at the Eevee, Celty finally accepted the situation with equanimity. An embarrassed chuckle escaped her lips as she thought to herself, [color=faeba2][i]Right, of course that's a boy Eevee, and he doesn't even look like Lucrecia—who's a Sylveon now. What a ridiculous mistake. Fuck I'm a mess.[/i][/color] 

With what seemed like hours internally, but only a few seconds in real time, Celty finally spoke up in a lucid manner, [color=faeba2]"Fuck I am really—"[/color] Pausing, she covered her mouth awkwardly for a moment before shouting out, [color=faeba2]"I can't believe I just [i]said[/i] that! Shit, please—"[/color] Covering her mouth once more, she hesitated in an attempt to recollect her thoughts before blurting out yet another obscenity. Hanging her head, she spoke softly, [color=faeba2]"...w-wow, I'm sorry. I'm a wreck right now. Not that that's your fault, I'm fine by the way. You didn't even hurt me. ...Are you okay, by the way? I'm sorry that I flipped out... you just remind me of someone I used to know. That's all. And um, not in a bad way. That probably wasn't very obvious."[/color]

Celty was just barely looking at the Eevee, a hand behind her neck, scratching it awkwardly. [color=faeba2]"...I'm Celty by the way. Remember that name in case you want to avoid me later. Which I totally wouldn't blame you if you did."[/color]
