As the Cutiefly buzzed over, the couple, accompanied by two Ribombees and a Vespiquen for security, profusely thanked the group.

[color=springgreen]"I'll get right to work finding the others,"[/color] Florence said, ignoring the growing heaviness of her eyelids. During her studies, she'd been no stranger to all-nighters, and her responsibilities as a trainer meant preparing for a demanding job had come in useful after all.

[color=palegoldenrod]"Here, take these first,"[/color] the old lady said, handing Florence a paper bag filled with small yellow nuggets. [color=palegoldenrod]"You all look tired, so these Pollen Puffs will help. They're free, consider them repayment."[/color]

Once she'd thanked the woman and set out again, Florence handed Ella, Leisy and all Pokemon present a Pollen Puff each before popping one of the golden clumps in her mouth, the powdery sweetness revitalising her. The previous day, she'd been so focused on other things, she'd barely eaten.

[color=hotpink]"I'll help you look for the other Cutieflies!"[/color] Ella immediately offered, causing that somewhat awkward smile to cross Florence's face. 

[color=springgreen]"Uh, thanks."[/color] She couldn't help thinking that she'd burdened Ella and possibly Leisy, that she'd made them feel obligated to get involved, but there was no way she could do this on her own. [color=springgreen]"Hmmm... where could they have gotten to?"[/color] Her eyebrows furrowed. She'd never been what anyone would call a leader, and this was the first time she'd taken on anything resembling such a role. [color=springgreen]"They're drawn to areas filled with flowers, and to strong emotions..."[/color]

She wandered along the street, shuffling, glancing around with no idea where to search first. Areas filled with flowers - That described much of Feyhollow.

Her frown remained on her face as she turned towards Ella and Leisy. [color=springgreen]"This... incident you were talking about,"[/color] she said. [color=springgreen]"No Pokemon were taken... were they?"[/color]

Ella cringed at Florence's uneasy expression as she accepted her offer - reluctantly, it seemed. Did the older trainer think she'd just get in the way? Was that all she was likely to do?

Something nasty whispered in the back of her mind. Had the offer just been about finding the Cutieflies? Of course she wanted them brought back to their trainers safely - but had it had another, more selfish motive? Was it also about proving something?

The Pollen Puff's aftertaste turned sour.

As Florence asked her question, Ella looked over. [color=hotpink]"Well... There was one,"[/color] she replied, unusually solemn. [color=hotpink]"One of the Pokemon was stolen. But we're searching for her - we'll make sure she gets back."[/color]

She realised too late what she'd let slip. She'd meant to say the Pokemon was being searched for. Instead, she'd let Florence know that she and Leisy were the ones tracking down the thieves. Was the medic going to feel bad about getting them involved in an extra mission?
