[indent]Sibyl lazily raked a hand through her now-damp, pearly-blonde hair as the final of the afternoon's bells finished their shrilling. She ran a towel over her head a final time as she approached the bench on which her Golduck sat, patiently waiting. Its feet swung slightly below it as it looked up and gave her its greeting. [color=6ba1ca]"Gol!"[/color]

She offered a smile as she tossed the towel over her shoulder and grabbed her satchel from the bench, beginning to rummage through it.

[color=6ba1ca]"Gol?"[/color]

She didn't spare a glance up at her Pokémon as she pulled her sneakers from her bag and sat next to the duck as she began to slip them on.
[color=C6A039]"Nope. You're not staying - we've still got our team meeting, you know that."[/color] She deliberately avoided meeting the eyes of her life-long friend. Despite their normal piercing gaze, her Golduck somehow had a way of using those eyes to make its trainer melt and give it whatever it wanted. But the meetings were important - skipping them would be letting a lot of people down. She finished slipping her sneakers on and stood to stretch, letting out a relieved groan. She then grabbed her satchel and nodded her head for Golduck to follow as she started a stroll towards the auditorium.

She heard Golduck's feet plap against the tiles of the poolside as it slipped off the bench in turn. [color=6ba1ca]"Gol.. duck."[/color] It mouthed defiantly.

Sibyl froze mid-step. She couldn't help but squeeze her hand into a fist at the comment. She turned, slowly, a look of subdued frustration clear on her face. [color=C6A039]"Don't.. talk like that."[/color] She pressed. She stepped towards her Golduck once again, her hand releasing its tight grip on the air as she gently placed it upon the shoulder of her Pokémon. [color=C6A039]"We've just been.. unlucky. We [i]can[/i] do this, alright? Improvement is always possible. Plus.."[/color] She hoisted her satchel, which held her Pokéballs, gesturing at it. [color=C6A039]"..these guys are still learning."[/color]

The Golduck paused, looking over her trainer's face, before slowly lowering its bill in shame. [color=6ba1ca]"G-Gol.."[/color] Sibyl was quick to nudge her bill back up again. She looked directly into her eyes now. [color=C6A039]"It's okay.. you can make it up to me by battling hard."[/color] She comforted, letting a slight smirk grace her lips. Golduck's eyes were quick to harden once again and it let out an excited [color=6ba1ca]"Golduck!"[/color] As it started to resume its trainer's stroll, but even faster this time.

The two made their way, excitedly now, to meet up with the rest of the team in Room C-103.
