After everything with the Hoothoots and Sophia running away had been settled, Aedre stopped by the Pokemon Center to get her Fletchling healed up, tagging along with Amber in the process. The other science-interested girl had befriended a Rowlet, a fascinating specimen of avian flora. Other than Tropius and Skiploom, there were hardly any grass-flying duals, so when the viridian-decorated owl was discovered, the scientific community was fascinated with the niche it had evolved to fit into. That, and the fact that it had been labelled a good “starter” Pokemon, boosted the little owl into fame, making it a rather well-known flying-type.

After getting her Pokemon healed, Amber called a work break, taking her laptop out to start on notes. Aedre did the same, retrieving her laptop and reciting in word form her encounter with the territorial Spearows earlier that day. Her Honedge had, in a surprising display of intelligence and compassion, aided Aedre in driving the Spearow off, both traits that went into her notes in concise, bulleted observations. On the side, she also noted how her Fletchling and Togepi were familiar enough to work together without her instruction, meaning that they’d need less instruction as opposed to training in the future.

Aedre had been too engrossed in her notes to notice when Amber stood up to greet the unknown girl who had entered the Pokemon Center. In the middle of describing the fluency with which her Honedge had executed his Swords Dance — flawlessly smooth as if he’d been born to play the part — the light-haired scientist-in-training wasn’t about to notice anything anytime soon.

The pop of a Pokeball being opened interrupted Aedre’s train of thought, prompting her to look up from her screen. Spotting Amber conversing with a trainer who’d evidently just released a flat, bug-like Pokemon — was that an Armaldo next to them? — Aedre sank back into her note-taking with redoubled effort, intent on finishing her work before joining the conversation. When she finally did — with a sentence summarizing her guesswork on why the Honedge had chosen to trust her, a frail, human girl — Aedre closed her laptop and rose from her seat, walking over to where the two trainers and their now four Pokemon were gathered.

[color=wheat]“Hi, I’m Aedre — Amber’s friend?”[/color] she said uncertainly, not sure if she was interrupting. The conversation seemed to have taken on a more serious tone, as Amber’s usual smile was gone. Having caught the last bit about an older sibling, Aedre looked the unknown fossil-tamer over for any similarities to the new people she’d met in Kosei. Seeing none, Aedre ducked her head awkwardly. [color=wheat]“Er, mind me asking whose sibling you are? Sorry, was sitting over there earlier, completely engrossed in my notes.”[/color]
