[i]If I'd wanted this much company, I would have sat in one of the main lobby areas,[/i] he thinks with a huff, but he still doesn't move, instead tuning out the sounds of the others. If Kapoc took too much longer calling them back, the aspiring champion had determined he'd move through a few katas to pass the time and, for the first time, silently kicked himself for not bringing his training sword from his parents' place. The region didn't have any renaissance fairs that he'd been able to find information on, but he did still plan to make a trip back to Hoenn to attend the Rustboro Faire and being out of practice would be no good at all. Just as he'd resolved to text his dad and see if he could bring him the squared practice blade, one of the others addressed Jason directly. It took him a moment to sort through the accent, but eventually he managed and nodded in response. "I am here for the league challenge, yeah. Looks like I'm one of the older ones here, so that should be interesting." He pauses to listen to her next sentence and nods. "Yeah, nerves are to be expected though. I'd honestly be more impressed if you weren't nervous, it's why I'm meditating, helps with that." Closing his eyes again, Jason resumes his quiet meditation. However, the conversation with the girl and her mention of nerves had him fidgeting slightly, his own nerves finally catching up to him. [i]Damn it...I was doing so good too...[/i] Eventually Jason lets out a long and frustrated sigh and stands up, stretching some. "Alright, too much nervous energy. Katas it is." Moving to a decently empty part of the now more crowded waiting area. Taking a wide stance and inhaling slowly, I begin slowly moving through each move in the first kata, exhaling sharply with each blow against my imagined opponent. [i]Could care less if they think it's weird, probably gonna end up travelling alone anyways...[/i] As he moves through each kata, Jason mentally reviews everything he'd brought with him, taking a passing note of the two who already seemed to have partners with them and slightly tilting my head mid kick. [i]Two with partners already huh? Or are those Pokémon more like companions...[/i]
