[color=wheat]“No problem. Glad I could be of help,”[/color] Aedre said, meaning it. It always felt good when she could swerve white lies and just tell the truth and have people be happy with that. Somehow, it felt like an invisible burden had been lifted off her even though there was never one to begin with.

When Nyxx introduced herself, Aedre flashed the girl a bright smile. [color=wheat]“Hi! I’m Aedre,”[/color] she said. [color=wheat]“As for the rock- and ground-types, I agree completely. I have a couple Pokeballs stocked up for that very reason, even though the main purpose of this trip is to mine and explore.”[/color]

When Rachel handed out the mining kits, Aedre’s eyes rounded, and her curiousity perked its ears. She’d just been handed a set of tools she’d never touched before, another career she’d never explored much, and another life she was about to live. 

[i]The life of a spelunker — always in the dark, scouring the crust and below for treasures unseen but present and Pokemon hidden but very much alive,[/i] Aedre thought, opening the bag and peering in. Inside was a flashlight, a pickaxe of sorts, a pair of gloves, and a few more things hidden under them. 

Aedre’s excitement was mutedly contagious at that point, and it quickly drew her Togepi to her side.

“To, To!” Pasithea said, reaching her arms up and waving them with her face scrunched into a frowning pout.

[color=wheat]“Of course! Go ahead and look,”[/color] Aedre said, bending down and showing the normal-type the bag of tools. 

The metal clinked and clanked as it touched the floor, and Pasithea scrunched her face again, this time with a disapproving and disappointed frown.

[color=wheat]“It’s going to be a rough trip, Thea, but I’ll feel much better if you’re with me along the way,”[/color] Aedre teased. The Togepi crossed her arms but had refrained from whining to be recalled, and that was enough for Aedre. [color=wheat]“Thanks very much, Thea. We can pick up some poffins after — your favorite!”[/color]
