Alexis payed little attention to Sophie's words. Her attention to the poser girl's explanation was dropped in favor of looking at her Pokemon. They were fine. Hoppip looked just as it had before her black out. It was smiling and attempting to splash around. The only problem was that Eevee was holding it down. The Pokemon was grinning and snickering at Hoppip's attempts to float around. Snorunt was subtly relieved to see her trainer awake, preferring to act as if she had expected Alexis to do something like this.

Though she was happy for their well-being, Alexis did not show it. Her face was tired and emotionless, only allowing her to blink in silent response to seeing her Pokemon. Alexis looked down. Her dress was ruined. She spent all that time making it look good, and yet it ended up a mess. It was disappointing to say the least.

Alexis would have continued focusing on her dress, if not for the fact that Sophia had begun apologizing. It sounded empty, but it also sounded pitiful. Sophia didn't stop, either. She kept apologizing and apologizing, as if the entire thing had been her fault.

[color=ec008c]If you really want to apologize, then bow down and beg for my forgiveness![/color] thought Alexis.

"[color=ec008c]...[/color]"

Alexis couldn't voice that thought. She didn't want to. It was something she would have said before, when she had something to gain, but this poser girl had nothing to give, and looked as if she was losing more as she continued to apologize. There was only one thing Alexis could do at the moment. The only thing she wanted to do at the moment.

Alexis slowly raised her arm, and slapped Sophia across the cheek.
