Faye laughed softly at the comment about the Hawlucha. She hadn't had the pleasure of photographing one before - she hadn't met anyone in King's Cross that had one, and she certainly hadn't come across one in the wild in her travels thus far - but now she kind of wanted to. She hadn't considered trying to get one for herself, but maybe she could schedule a shoot for his at some point? Surely they were just as photogenic as the Yamper. Though it also made her curious what others he had with him. She doubted they'd be the same ones he would use in the league, but she supposed there was a chance. Maybe some other time. Taking another picture of him with Vex was fine.

She supposed when she asked for advice, it might be tricky. Not giving some basic platitude and common sense advice was hard at this point. She had been looking forward to becoming a trainer since she was young, but that meant she started learning a lot about [i]being[/i] a trainer too. Surely there was something he could impart that she didn't know already though.

The smile faded as she listened. It wasn't a matter of being more intense. More like, a renewed sense of determination settled in again. His words were a reminder to not give up despite the challenges. She always sought to overcome them, but between what her mother told her yesterday and what Basil said today - she was determined more than ever to ensure she pressed on as much as she could. Was it cliche advice? Yes, but sometimes hearing cliched advice was good. It reaffirmed that it was true and not just something people said. She preferred to take everything with a grain of salt and not just take an idol's word as gospel, but at least he was saying something everyone always said.

She smiled and laughed softly at the apology. "[color=EE82EE]It's okay to give cliched advice. It just means it's true and not just an overused platitude.[/color]" She was about to say thanks and take her leave - surely she had taken up enough of his time and the others must have gotten so much more of a head start than she did with her sightseeing - when he told her to hold on. And started digging around in his bag? 

Curiosity overtook the excitement of the meeting, followed by awe at seeing the egg in the container he removed from a bag she wasn't sure could survive any more adventures. She'd never seen an egg like that - not that she'd seen many Pokémon eggs as it stood. When he held it out to her, she blinked. Several times. Surely he wasn't...

Faye's brain stopped working for a long moment. She just stood there, staring in disbelief. 

"[color=EE82EE]I, you - seriously?[/color]" She didn't wait for the answer before nodding, though. "[color=EE82EE]Yeah, I mean, yes. I would be honored to raise it. This is - it's really cool you trust me to raise a Pokémon you were given. I definitely don't intend to do anything to ruin it. We'll take good care of it, right Sage?[/color]" She looked at Sage, who seemed excited as well. "[color=a2d39c]Ee vee eev.[/color]" He practically beamed with confidence at the prospect.

She took the egg case and carefully turned it this way and that - a little worried she might break it since this was her first time actually handling an egg case - to get a better look at the egg. Then looked back at Basil. "[color=EE82EE]Do you know what kind of Pokémon this is? I haven't seen an egg like this before.[/color]"
