Sophia turned around to see the man she'd spoken to in the cafeteria earlier following her. [color=orchid]"Oh, I'm not heading out just yet,"[/color] she replied. [color=orchid]"Not when I've still got plans for this town. Uh..."[/color] She trailed off. Besides the gym battle, she didn't have any plans. [color=orchid]"I was thinking of, um... Looking around. Finding some items, and some more Pokemon. Then, on to the gym battle."[/color]

A passer-by gave her a strange look at the mention of the gym battle, which she ignored. She turned back to face the man, and her confident grin returned.

[color=orchid]"If you want to come along anyway, I'd gladly give you the privilege of exploring with me. I'm not the kind of travelling partner you'll meet every day."[/color] She took out her parasol and repeated her usual trick, throwing it in the air and using her power to make it snap open, this time spinning it around a few times before directing it to her hand. She posed and smirked.

The trick had allowed her to demonstrate how much she'd recovered. Even so, she reminded herself not to overdo it... today was going to be a busy day, after all. She hoped her mother wouldn't contact her like that again, getting her to drain herself sending psychic messages back. It would be much more convenient to just get phone calls or emails, but she knew why her mother had done that. It was yet another test, which was why much of the maintaining of the link had been left to her. Of course, the conversation must have taken someone like her mother very little effort, even across such a distance.

[color=orchid]"And later, you can watch me get my gym badge. Come on, then."[/color] She started heading in the direction of the seafront. [color=orchid]"I'm Sophia, by the way."[/color]
