[@Cio] Sarah walked on in silence next to Lorie, she had been a bit worried Lorie might snap at her again but the short'I'm fine walking' was all the confirmation she needed that walking was a good option. At least the woman didn't slow her down. She didn't really know what to say as she didn't know Lorie good enough yet. It was quite a walk, often sarah would just ride her strong, fast Girafarig but she didn't know if Lorie had any pokemon that could carry her. Saur, Sarah's Bulbasaur was walking behind Sneasel. [i]"Be careful to not disturb Spinarak, they can get viscious."[/i] Saur warned the Sneasel. [i]"I got poison stinged once by a Weedle when I was looking for a berry in a bush"[/i] he said chuckling. The nature on Rhando was beautiful as ever. The distant sounds of pokemon could often be heard. Sarah glanced at Lorie. "Where are you from?" Sarah finally asked curiously to break the silence and get to know her travel companion a little bit better. She had read about the different regions but never saw more then a bit of Kanto and the lab in Unova. This was a good opportunity to hear about other regions and travels. Not that she expected Lorie to change into a chatterbox with this question but she did hope it was enough to spark some sort of conversation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gabe grinned. "Pleasure to meet you Lucian." Gabe looked at Lucian again. He couldn't be much older then he was. "Really? You got a new house here? How cool is that! Yeah I want to come along" Gabe smiled. "Welcome on the Island I would say. If you don't know the way I can surely guide you. I was born and raised on here." He paused as he realised Lucian seemed to have answered his pokemon in a more understanding way than he usually did. He was glad Lucian could see he was friendly because Gabe definitely was friendly. "Where is this house of yours?" he asked. Mareep and Machop walked closer to Lucians pokemon [i]"Gabe wouldn't hurt a fly, don't worry."[/i] Mareep said to Gardevoir. Machop nodded. [i]"And he won't tell anything to strangers if he is asked to keep something secret."[/i] Machop added. [i]"Welcome!"[/i] said Mareep happily.
