Sarah looked at the purple haired female with slightly narrowed eyes, she noticed some shifts in her behaviour but couldn't quite put her finger on it what was going on. She thought bringing out the pokedex had something to do with but she wasn't sure. Interal she sighed, if only she was half as good around people than she was around pokemon. But then again she was studying as Pokemon Researcher not something that involed knowing much about humans in general. 
When Lorie tried to hide the worst dirty patches the movement made it catch Sarah's eyes [i]"That jacket has seen bette times, she must be a seasoned traveller"[/i] Sarah thought, feeling the urge to pick up travelling too but she had the Academy to finish first.

When the other woman offered to help Sarah contemplated briefly. She could use the help but she wasn't really used work together with others outside of the Academy. 
Sarah then nodded. "Yes, that would be great, thank you." She said with a small smile and as friendly as she could.
Sarah's Bulbasaur had silently obsereved the scene and stepped a bit closer. He extended his vine to the Sneasel as if to shake hands. [i]"Hello there, my trainer calls me Saur, pleasure to meet you."[/i] he said jovial. Sarah looked at her pokemon surprised.
