[color=tan]"Bun,"[/color] she mused before glancing up at her and giving her partner a less than amused stare as she clambered onto Cyril's shoulder. [color=ed1c24]"Yeah, I uh, wonder how that happened too,"[/color] he stated, looking suspiciously to the side while he began to furiously itch at his neck and chuckle nervously. That totally didn't look out of place and he totally was not doing it to interject any sort of levity into this silly situation. [color=FBD4D5]"Pi pi?"[/color] After a couple of minutes, the Pidgey was thankfully able to point them in the right direction, though the researcher did continue to eye the bushels to the side with a small smile as sweat bullets formed on the side of his face. [color=ed1c24]"Alright then, follow after Chloe everyone,"[/color] he ushered to the trio walking as Cation purred loudly and ran alongside the blonde lass whilst Aster and Mimi tottled alongside each other, staying close by Cyril. Thankfully, having a guide was helpful to the lost traveler, especially with someone inept as Cyril leading them out of the forest originally. Still, this did give him some time to ruminate on some of some of the words Chloe left him with during their time traversing through the forest. The desire to travel and attempt becoming the champion were dreams befitting new trainers as he softly smiled to himself, keeping an eye on her back. [color=ed1c24][i]"She would of gotten along with Morgan,"[/i][/color] Cyril wistfully mused to himself as his smile became a little more somber, something that three out of the four partners caught onto. Velvet made hers more obvious by pressing an ear against his cheek, [color=tan]"Bun?"[/color] Despite how deadpan she sounded, there was some inquiry as to whether or not he was fine, to which he followed up by beaming at the bunny, [color=ed1c24]"Everything is just fine, just thinking about things, that's all~."[/color] Still, that wasn't enough to fool her, let alone Aster and Mimi, the two of which, while running, held onto one of his pants legs, staring up at him with expectant eyes. Ugh, how could he say no to them as he furrowed his brows and let his guard down as that solemn smile returned briefly, [color=ed1c24]"I'll talk to you all about it later, alright? I promise."[/color] He briefly put up a thumbs up while keeping that same smile from before, not bothering to hide it. That was satisfactory for the trio at least as Velvet went back to lazing on his shoulder whilst Aster and Mimi continued running alongside each other, chirping placidly to one another. After a few minutes, Cyril began to pick up the pace, running alongside Chloe now as the forestry began to abate. From what he could discern, it seemed like they had almost escaped these lost woods! Cyril couldn't help but give a sigh of relief and an exaggerated swipe of his forehead for almost being out of there. Well, that was of course they ran into some trouble. Two fashionable weirdos stating they were glad to run into Chloe and Cyril. Still, that was enough to give the young man a sigh of relief as he casually followed up behind the silver-haired fellows comment about the forest, [color=ed1c24]"Aha, I know right~?"[/color] Still, the fact that they commented on Team Amethyst made Cyril narrow his eyes at the two as he ushered for Cation to come back to his side. The confused little kitty pondered on why before he noticed Mimi was shivering and peaking behind Cyril and Aster, while nearby, wasn't as hidden. Even Velvet seemed more irritated than usual (which he was oblivious to in general). [color=fff200]"Shiii!"[/color] As the Shinx exclaimed, he bounced back over to Cyril and patiently sat in front of one of his legs as the duo continued on this spiel. Cyril, however, could feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Something was off as the silver-haired one began to comment on Team Amethyst and how they were seeking two individuals out. Especially when they got to the baseline description of the two they were pursuing. This was going south real fast as they instantly jumped to the worst possible scenario. Cyril and Velvet couldn't help but facepalm. The first thing was a battle then huh? Maybe he could attempt to diffuse the situation. Holding out an arm to try and stop Chloe from acting [i]too[/i] rash, he peered behind him before murmuring to her, [color=ed1c24]"Let me try to handle this first."[/color] With that said, time to get this ball rolling. Cackling like a madman, his smile greatly expanded as he placed a hand on his hip and pressed all the fingers of his other hand against the side of his head as he struck a pose. [color=ed1c24]"Well, well, well, looks like some people have finally noticed how [i]fabulous[/i] we look, wouldn't you say,"[/color] once more, he glanced over to Chloe with a wink before simmering down and clearing his throat, glancing lazily over at the Pokémon sent out and held out a hand and waggled a finger. [color=ed1c24][i]"However[/i] it seems they've jumped to the wrong conclusion and are eager to get straight into a battle, tut, tut,"[/color] Cyril sighed with a dejected smile, brushing his hair out of his face with a smile. As much as he and Chloe [i]could[/i] earn a bit of cash, they didn't need to be on any list at the moment... plus, Team Amethyst, eh? Only knew that they poached and sold Pokémon for top dollar and that they were in a war with some other Team known as Virtue. He was definitely a betting man, and would wholeheartedly put his money in on these two being the latter. [color=ed1c24]"I find it a bit insulting you call these "disguises," especially since we aren't affiliated with Team Amethyst in any way, shape, or form,"[/color] of course, just stating it straight out wouldn't convince them, there would need to be crucial evidence. [color=ed1c24]"We're both trainers who have recently departed from Professor Kalmia's lab. The both of us have Trainer Licenses, as well as Pokédexes gifted from her and Jacques. We can provide those two things if you like,"[/color] Cyril worked to give as disarming of a smile as he could possible to the duo in the hopes they would lower their guard and instead talk like sensible people. Still, his own Pokémon still seemed heavily defensive (if your name wasn't Cation) and looked to appeal to Velvet who easily looked to be the most likely to incite something. [color=ed1c24]"Easy now Velvet, we don't have to start a confrontation if we don't have to,"[/color] he stated in a soothing voice as he scritched one of her ear buns, which caused her to relax a bit, [color=tan]"Bun, bun."[/color] Despite all her grumbling, she was relatively pacified for now as he returned to the Virtue Grunts. [color=ed1c24]"Beyond the general information about gender and fashion choices, do either of you have any other information,"[/color] Cyril questioned the duo as he looked over the two with a piercing glance. [color=ed1c24]"Specifics such as accessories, their height, their names, specific parts of their outfits, the Pokémon on their team, hair color, and so on,"[/color] with that, he paused for a moment to collect himself before holding a fist up to his throat and clearing it before continuing. Holding his arms out to his side, he tilted his head and gave a Meowth-like smile to them both, [color=ed1c24]"And just out of curiosity, what is Team Amethyst getting up to in a forest like this?"[/color]
