[sub][i]Camphor's Lab Lobby | Morning[/i][/sub][/center]

Lina's head ever so slightly tilted back as she glanced back at the second person to join her talking to the raspy-sounding boy with the eyepatch. Though of all people, she hadn't expected, well, the grumpy sullen guy who seemed more apt to talk to his Rotom Phone or toss out a gripe about something thus far. It was blunt, but it was her honest thoughts all the same. Not that he hadn't started off just gesturing to the bathroom, or a potential location therein, but had stopped himself....peculiar. She'd have to note that for later, along with that admission of being 'bad at conversations'. Though with the crowd of people in here, it left a thought on the edge of her mind. 

[color=steelblue][i]'Hmm...I hope this guy isn't going to get too overwhelmed with it all, given his current state. Better to keep the potential in mind though.'[/i][/color]

Hmm. But for now they didn't need to drag things out and dawdle when the Professor's Assistant had just announced that she'd see if the Professor was ready to meet them. Though that was a cute Impidimp. Also noted. The Professor, or her assistant, had some sense of taste. Mischevious taste, given how the Galarian girl had been bopped in the head by one anyways, but it was taste by her metrics in some manner or another at least.   

[color=steelblue]"Thank you, though I've also got a bottle with fresh water in it. Can see if he's ok with sipping from it until you're back, perhaps, unless he wants tap water."[/color]

A thing said by Lina in a rather matter-of-fact yet casual tone, but all the same not one with any sort of malice or begrudging to it. Even the rude people outside had only gone so far as attitude, rather than doing anything actually malicious than laughing and assuming things about people. Nepo babies tended to do that when they felt they had a pedestal under their feet, though at least they'd noticed the Caterpie after she'd mentioned it. So at least they weren't blind and the leader of the two had a somewhat leveler head on her shoulders despite how she'd seemed thus far. Good. That would be noted likewise about the two for them for now as well. However, she was digressing a fair bit for the moment there. 

Reaching back without looking again with her lefft hand, Lina grabbed her travel water bottle, unclipped it from her backpack with deft fingers, and simply held it up for the lavender-haired boy and the eyepatch-wearing one to see. She then turned to the latter after opening the built-in straw on the thing with her left hand and gently offering it to the eyepatch boy. Not shoving it in his face, but trying to let him see what she had at the very least. She had, however, memorized where to put things on her backpack in preparation for things at least. Good to know for the road. Needed to keep track of and know what you had with you when traveling. 

[color=steelblue]"Hey. Got some fresh, cool water here in this bottle. You can sip on it for now until someone gets back with a cup of water if you want to, but no rush. We can even try to get away from the crowd, if you need some breathing room."[/color]

Her tone again shifted back into a softer, trying to be more soothing and not overly loud sort as she spoke again to the taller boy. Even so, her eyes briefly ran over his face, trying to get a better bead on what sort of state he was in and keep an eye out for sudden changes. If she needed, she'd adapt from there. Not a fun time to be hurting, though, when waiting to meet one's new boss. THough was he one of the applicants to the job, as she'd just assumed here initially? Or was he someone who was already here and worked as staff? Hmm. No offense to him, but he didn't seem as put together as the Professor's Assistant, or 'Freida', was. Ah. Questions like that could be answered later at least, yes. 

Meanwhile, the Pokeball on Lina's Pokeball carrying/attachment points on the right side of her belt slightly wiggled slightly for a moment before going calmly still once more, perhaps as a result of a mild touch of worry perhaps on the mind of the Pokemon within? Only time would tell.
