[color=chocolate]"Yeah, she was about to, but she left a few minutes ago,"[/color] Amber replied. [color=chocolate]"We thought it best to go after her, and Oscar, I mean it's better to stick together..."[/color] She trailed off. She didn't want to dampen anyone's enthusiasm here, not Ty's, or Aedre's about seeing the battle. Part of her wanted to go and make sure Sophia and Oscar were ok, while part of her wanted to stay with Aedre, and watch this important milestone for Ty.

[color=chocolate]"We can stay a little longer and see the match, though,"[/color] she decided. It would probably take only a short while, and Sophia wouldn't travel far in that time. She needed to relax, Amber told herself, no matter how much Sophia reminded her of Coral...

The two birds getting along certainly provided a soothing sight. As Tacita responded to Little with a warm, friendly hoot, Amber's expression lightened. [color=chocolate]"Looks like you've made a friend there,"[/color] she commented, [color=chocolate]"and this is a great insight into bird communication."[/color]

Not that this was the time to get lost in studies, she thought as she looked back over at Ty. [color=chocolate]"Good luck!"[/color]

As Aedre thanked him, Lan gave her a gentle smile. [color=00aeef]"You're welcome,"[/color] he replied, [color=00aeef]"and if you need any more help with matters like this, you can go to us gym leaders. It's part of our duty."[/color] A duty it seemed they now had to take on even more than usual. Just like before.

Expression settling back into neutrality, he faced the trainer who would take Sophia's place in the upcoming challenge. A young trainer, but a strong one by the sound of it. Now to put his recent practice to the test. [color=00aeef]"When you're ready for the challenge,"[/color] Lan said, [color=00aeef]"let me know."[/color]
