Ren kept unnaturally still as Erika took a seat beside her. She didn't [i]want[/i] to be in the company of another person, but she had a feeling this girl might not want to leave her be, either. Then again, they [i]were[/i] all going to be getting their Pokemon soon. At the very least she could speak to one of the trainers present. She had a feeling she'd end up possibly meeting them on their travels, and in that regard, it was useful to be able to put names to faces in case there was need for favours. 

[color=6ecff6]"I'm Erika! And yes! I just got here from Cooldome this morning."[/color]

Her gaze was focused solely on Erika, or at least that's what her eyes said. She'd connected the name to the face. Unmoving. Unwavering. Just staring, and listening intently, as though her life depended on it. Rather ominous, but to her it was just how she could speak to others. Multiple conversations at once gave her a headache. 

[color=#d3381c]"Hey, Ren! The names Claire! And can I just say that you look fabulous? In a 'I'm a spooky scary ghost' sort of way?"[/color]

Speaking of headaches...

Workout Girl had made her presence obnoxiously known. Although she had introduced herself as Claire, she would forever be known as Workout Girl, unless Ren was feeling [i]especially[/i] nice. [color=lightblue]"Oh, it's you."[/color] Her gaze shifted from Erika to Claire, emerald green eyes now focusing solely on the red-haired fashionista. Her tone wasn't exactly the friendliest, even if it was unintentional. [color=lightblue]"If I may be so bold, interrupting a conversation between two people is rather mean-spirited, is it not?"[/color] Though her question was rhetorical, she insisted on proving her point before Claire could interject. [color=lightblue]"I am a foreigner, so I'm not exactly perfect when it comes to exchanging conversations between multiple people. That being said, I am Ren. I will do my best to make the conversation work."[/color]

Her gaze returns to Erika. [color=lightblue]"I have never heard of Cooldome City, since I haven't ventured the region nor learned much of it's history, as I stem from Offshore Island. I wouldn't suppose it houses many ice type Pokemon?" [/color] She asks, her attention then swiftly diverting to Claire. [color=lightblue]"And you, Miss Claire? I don't suppose you live around here, either...? Which Pokemon do you seek for your journey?"[/color]

This was going to be a looooooooooooong conversation...
