Sophia leaned forward and listened as Medic started to sing, softly at first as if she doubted herself. [color=orchid]"No need to be nervous, you're doing great,"[/color] the brunette soothed, her tough front easing away. Maybe it was the proximity of a friendly Pokemon, maybe it was the song's calming effect. In all likelihood, it was both. A delighted grin spread across Sophia's face as the tune's pace picked up. Such an adorable Pokemon, and so kind and caring... The psychic knew she hadn't earned such compassion, but appreciated it nonetheless.

The more the song went on, the heavier her eyelids grew... Sophia shook off the feeling, shifting her position. No way would she repeat the Clefairy video incident. To keep herself awake, she softly hummed along to repeating stanzas. 

It was Oscar's showing off, and Ty's reaction, that jolted her back to reality. Given the circumstances, the fact that Oscar had a badge still didn't bother her. The problem was more that by now, she should be able to present one too. Her gaze turned wary. Oscar had better not say anything about how she'd gotten her ass handed to her...

She piped up when Ty mentioned preparing for his own gym battle. [color=orchid]"You know, there are students in the gym you can challenge first, naturally they have loads of Normal types. Pfff, they're pushovers though,"[/color] she said, as if she'd done better than she really had. [color=orchid]"That and there are other strategies besides brute strength. Not that I had to be told this or anything! I mean, there's defense. I have a Steel type and a Ghost type, Normal types struggle to put so much as a mark on either."[/color] She glanced at Oscar. If not for her current state, she'd speak into his mind and tell him not to mention the gym fiasco, but that would probably result in her collapsing again. Instead, her warning glare said as much, before she turned her attention back to Ty. [color=orchid]"I'm Sophia, by the way. A name everyone will surely know by the time I finish this journey."[/color]

As Medic's song drew to a close, Sophia's smile returned. [color=orchid]"Looks like you enjoyed that just as much as I did,"[/color] she said, easing herself back onto the chair, careful not to stand too quickly. She still wasn't going to let on that she'd needed cheering up, but the melody had certainly helped to do so.
