Desmond blinked, hearing Ted's voice. He turned back and looked, noticing him approaching. "Oh, there he is!" He said, waving at Ted happily. Desmond knew he'd show up eventually, but was glad it was sooner rather than later. He wasn't quite sure why Ted was dressed like he was going to a wedding or something of the sort, but figured he just wanted to make a good impression when they met with Professor Rowan inside. It made Desmond think of how he was dressed for a moment, what with the stretched out shirt revealed by his open coat. Pretty bad compared to Ted's attire, but he was almost certain his clothing was more comfortable! 

"Glad to see you made it." He said to Ted, his expression still happy. He couldn't of asked for a better friend to have around; he and Ted just seemed to get along well. Though Desmond found himself much more attached to Pokemon than Ted, and hoped to teach him the joys of Pokemon through the experience alongside him. Hopefully the coming days would show him how great Pokemon really are. It'd probably be a slower process than he'd hoped for, but if he progressed at all, Desmond would be satisfied. Getting a Pokemon was, of course, the first step. He already seemed ready for that.
