Aro was slightly taken back by Khelfin’s response, he was right, people’s needs did change over the course of the events. He didn’t want to apologise though, Aro believed time was too short to regret things. After a few awkward moments Khelfin started to speak again. This time he asked about his Pokemon, his old Pokemon. His expression softened a little.

“I don’t....” Aro stumbled “...I think so...It’s still pretty blurry...” He unraveled before stopping in his tracks. 
“Can you hear that?”

From a distance they could see a girl trying to make her way towards the pair. She seemed to be in hastily but lost state. 

“Erm..: yo?” Aro laughed
“Do I know you?” He glanced as the girl as she came near, she wasn’t someone Aro recognised but she was coming from the research lab entrance. He saw her gear and started to put it together
“...two at once, you have to be kidding me...” Aro muttered under his breath.
His face changed quickly as he turned to her again.
“New Recruit?.... What’s your name then newbie?” He said with a subtle grin on his face
