[i]Dewmeadow, Dogwood's Lab[/i]

Rowan and Purrloin both stared with kind of surprised eyes towards where the Professor was leaving and then screamed outside. He had his excuse, but Rowan was genuinely confused as to what the real cause of the sound was. Was- was there something he knew that the children he was sending out didn't know, but he couldn't do anything about it? … And then he came in and talked about his childhood friend who had disappeared... That's it. The Professor is definitely worried about them, for some reason.

[color=#FFFACD]'Don't worry, Professor!'[/color] Rowan made a fist and lifted it with one hand, his eyes gleaming under a determined frown. [color=#FFFACD]'We'll be perfectly safe! You have no reason to worry!'[/color]

Purrloin, still held in Rowan's other arm, copied her trainer for the cuteness factor and held out a little paw and copied Rowan's expression towards the Professor, including the eyes. [color=#856B90]'Rrloin!'[/color]

Alright. Now, then. They had all gotten their Pokémon. Rowan had studied quite extensively for his Pokémon trip, to the degree that his parents had joked that maybe he'd get bored out there because he'd already learned all there was to learn out there. Though, he had mostly only studied different species of Pokémon and things that concern them, things like the geography of the land, history and  region-specific things he had completely forgot. But, he did know that there WERE dangers out there. Dangers that would be bad to face alone. That, and... They had gotten their Pokémon together.

Rowan looked off towards Mara and Yasha. He really, REALLY wanted to travel with them. But, what if they thought otherwise? What if they wanted to brave the unknown by themselves? Would he just be a bother, requesting such a childish thing? He had it on the tip of his tongue, wondering if he should say something, but shyly thinking that maybe-

[color=#FFFACD]'YES! THAT! JUST THAT!'[/color] Rowan would suddenly eagerly exclaim, his eyes wide in excitement that was just a little bit too powerful to allow Yasha to finish that entire sentence. He still could, of course, but at that moment Rowan would have processed enough of what he was saying to suddenly shout out happily, actually startling the Purrloin on his arms. [color=#FFFACD]'We should totally travel together, sharing our experience and becoming the best of friends together as we see the world!'[/color] … Then, after what Yasha had triggered from his mouth, he realized that Mara had not actually had time to say her opinion on this yet, and that he might have pressured her to it. Suddenly wincing back to shy Rowan, he lowered his gaze a bit and adressed her.

[color=#FFFACD]'Er, that is, if you want to? I-if you want to travel alone, or don't want to travel with us for any reason, that's entirely okay, it's entirely your choice, y-yeah...'[/color] Rowan's volume had decreased considerably as he asked Mara. Purrloin looked at her trainer, and then looked with a little curious look at Mara and Kira. She then made the loneliest look in the entire universe, tilting her head making the area under her eyes look just a bit bigger, ears and tails dropping a little and looking at her. [color=#856B90]'… Purrloin?'[/color] She asked.

Of course, to Purrloin, she was just attempting to amass more people that found her the most endearing being in the world. More people around meant more confusion and more safety for her to practice her usual behavior. That, and more targets. Of course.
