As the man's Pokemon bounded up the lane, meat snack in it's hand, the contrast between Lilith's Pokemon and his was stark. While Sia was always calm and reserved, willing to wait and ride along with her trainer, the male's Oshawott seemed wild and defiant. Especially when it decided that the trainer needed some protein. [color=cc5500][i]Does he have no control over his Pokemon at all? It just seems to do whatever the blazes it wants! How disrespectful.[/i][/color] Then he attempted to talk...

[color=#00FFAE]“Whaphs mmyour nameh byf th’ wayf? Realized I didn't catch yours back at the lab."[/color]

While initially repulsed by the attempt to speak BeefJerkese at her, a sigh of relief passed over Lilith. The fact that... who was it? The dude had a name... Ezra! That's what Gary said! Anyway, the fact that Ezra was asking for her identity meant Lilith may have been successful in covering up her true name. It was way too early for anyone to know the truth. She had a reputation to... well, build in Kanto, but still, it would have been really hard to establish any kind of a proper tone with a name like the one she had been given. Kari might have worked, but it was still way too cute. Nope, she was committed to her current moniker. For better or worse.

[color=cc5500]"It's understandable. I am not known in Kanto by choice. My name is better uttered in the darkest corners, where the shadows are already plentiful. My title is the Mistress of Lost Souls, but it gets tiresome hearing that every time, so I answer to Lilith. You can use that name as well."[/color]

[color=a187be]"Litwick! Lit!" [i]And I'm Sia! Hello![/i][/color] 

Lilith nodded. [color=cc5500]"And this is my oldest partner in this endeavour. Her name is Sia. She feeds on life energy, so don't get too close."[/color]

Sia gave Lilith a shocked look. [color=a187be]"Lit! Lit! Litwicklit..." [i]Hey! Hey! I only want a little bit...[/i][/color]

[color=cc5500]"Anyway, I suppose if we are travelling together, it's good to know those sort of things about one another. Like if I feel I need a hot beef injection in my mouth, I can ask your Pokemon for help with that."[/color] Yes, the obvious sexual innuendo didn't do much for her dark and brooding image, but c'mon. It was right there. Lilith is shadowy, but she's not going to miss easy shots. Her newly-captured Pidgey can attest to that. [color=cc5500][i]I'll have to wait until we get to Viridian City to properly assess Pidgey. Pidgey is probably still pretty burnt up from battle.[/i][/color]
