[@LuckyBlackCat][@Crimson Flame] Ember's eyes lit up with true interest, her passion in life had always been centered around pokemon, even when she was a kid. It was true, of all their friends, she had likely changed the least. Only one thing [color=purple]"oh yes... I've done research on them, of course... you do know that they're considered one of the greatest mysteries to some researchers. I mean, they know basic facts of course, like their typical height and weight..."[/color] she continued to rattle off her tid-bits of Porygon information, before she paused, her cheeks flushing a little [color=purple]"oh... sorry, I uh... just get excited then..."[/color] she gestured with her hand to indicate her mouth running off. At the mention of him, she turned her attention to her beloved Eevee, who puffed out his chest at once when being noticed [color=purple]"yes, this is Finn... He loves meeting new people. Wanna say 'hi'?"[/color] she cooed up to the fluffy guy on her shoulder. [color=tan]"Vee!"[/color] he exclaimed, confidently, bouncing down off her shoulder. Leaving her scramble to catch him in her arms, giving a slight sigh of exasperation, before a soft giggle [color=purple]"yeah... He really has a mind of his own when he wants something, there's no stopping him... Almost the opposite of me really"[/color] she admitted, her eyes falling to the ground shyly, again. [color=purple]"It's um... been a long time"[/color] she admitted, looking a little embarrassed as the realization struck her that she had not done a very good job keeping in touch with her friends in the years. She had gotten so wrapped up in her research career. [color=purple]"But... I want to change that now"[/color] her eyes wide, and a small smile brimming. [color=purple]"I mean... that's why we're all meeting isn't it?"[/color] she asked, glancing over her shoulder towards Andre' questioningly.
