Hex fluttered down the long, twisting halls of the guild. Well, at least they seemed long and twisting to Hex. To any normal veteran of the guild, it would be easy, but with Hex's size and knowledge of it, it was like trying to navigate a labyrinth in the middle of a sandstorm. Countless pokemon were moving down and about the halls. Eager explorers talking about their latest adventures into misty dungeons, or the guild masters talking, or new recruits still trying to find the mission board. After a while of stumbling around and exploring, she found the mess hall. It was a large room with circular, wooden tables and a couple of seats at each. There was a stage by the end of the room and a small bar on the right, hosted by a Kecleon. Several banners adorned the walls. Many pokemon had already filled the cafeteria, taking up quite a bit of tables. Hex went up to the bar, and ordered something she didn't even know. Hex took a seat down at a nearby, almost empty table. In reality, she was still flying, not really sitting on the seat. There was a Bidoof sitting at it. She recognized him as the one Arnold was on a warpath for.

"Hey." She said. "Hey." The Bidoof replied, digging into his food. That was about the extent of their conversation.

After a while, some Pidgey dropped off a plate with something that looked like a pile of multicolored glop. Berries? Gummis? Hex poked at it, and she could've sworn it moved. "Oh." Hex gusted the plate aside. "You know, I don't think I'm hungry." The Bidoof glanced up at her. "More for me!" He slid all the contents of the plate into his mouth, swallowing it all down without chewing. Hex flew off down the halls and back to Matt and Josh. "Soooo.." She said. "Do you know if we get bedrooms here?" Matt and Josh had a home, she was pretty sure. Unfortunately, she didn't think she could just pack up and head home right now, considering there were probably Beedrill combing Birchwood Forest through and through on a rampage to find her.
