Rasca nodded and picked up her bag, trailing after him as he chattered away. She smiled ruefully at his incessant need to talk about pokemon. Sometimes joining in silently if she knew what he was going to say, having studied them a bit as well. Most of the time Rasca kept quiet, but gave the appropriate replies at standard times, wondering what he was getting at exactly. Leon knew just how to keep information out of her reach without making her feel badly about it. This time was no different, and her mind whirled with the hidden possibilities. None of them included pokemon, since he acted like this a lot. Maybe he was just distracting her from what the adventure would really be about.

Peering suspiciously at him behind her shades, she stifled a smile, trying to be serious about whatever he had on mind. None of the usual territory gave her any clues, as there could be a secret passageway that she didn't know about. Of course, her mind was really just hoping against reality that something like this would happen, even though Viridian city didn't hold anything of the sort. It did hold the perilous path that Leon seemed intent upon walking towards, which made Rosca feel a bit scared, side-stepping to the right of him. She planned on herding him to another part of the city, so she could talk some sense into him. Who on earth went on about nidoran species, and didn't give a flying pidgeotto about which direction they were heading?

Crazy Leon, that's who. [i]'Guess it's time i take matters into my own hands.'[/i]
Stepping in front of him with her shades tilting down off the bridge of her nose, she held out her hand as if it would have the power to stop him.
"Hey, i don't know if you've noticed, but we're pretty freaking close to, oh i don't know..harm?" Sighing wearily, she shook her head and continued in a more polite tone of voice. "So how about we take your talk of very fascinating nidoran species, and go somewhere else." It wasn't a question, because she didn't want to have to tell anyone the reason why they had gotten hurt. Which is exactly what would happen if they decided to go any farther than they were now.
