Sage smirked, amused, as Morgana described hers and Luft's chances, which admittedly weren't terrible, he had to concede. Still, it didn't stop the young woman's "ooh, spooky" description from being more than a little funny. He was going to enjoy traveling together with her, he could tell. His lips quirked into a more genuine smile as he raised his hands mock-defensively.

[color=lightgreen]"All right, all right. I'm sure you wouldn't be challenging the League unless you were confident in your capabilities."[/color] He hitched his bag over his shoulder, then nodded. [color=lightgreen]"Well, if that's all, then we should be off. If we're gonna be big, bad, Championship-winning Trainers, it'll pay to get started as soon as possible, yeah?" He headed toward the exit, his new partner in tow, on their way east.

Sage breathed deeply of the air around Route 9, already enamored with how easygoing the feel of the area was. His mouth watered at the smell of the food stalls, but he resisted for now; he wasn't hungry, so much as bored, and he had work to do, anyway. He checked the map again, taking note of the detours into more wild areas of the route. While he was eager to make his way to Arsenic and find a suitable Poison-type for challenging the Fairy Gym leader, it would do him no favors to ignore any opportunities to catch Pokemon here. He turned back to Morgana

[color=lightgreen]"So... what do you think? I was gonna go off the beaten path for a while and try to catch a Pokemon or two. Care to join me?"[/color]
