It wasn't uncommon for Ana to not arrive somewhere on time. This was due to a number of things. For instance, her faithful Haxorus wasn't the speediest of sorts. Or it could be tied to the fact that she slept like a Snorlax. Quite possibly a combination of the two, plus having to eat before being good for most anything in the morning. In the time it took for Haxorus to get the message of a meeting and wake Ana up, they could have made it in time if they just went right to the meeting. But a dragon's appetite is not so easily sated...nor is that of Haxorus. By the time Ana and Haxorus had finished eating, it was clear they were going to be late. Ana had decided to take a little extra time to get her armor on, grab her sword and shield, and do some morning warm-ups. Even if she was in charge, Zokura's requests came after personal morning time. Some things from her bandit past didn't change, it seemed.

They did make it, though. Granted, it wasn't until after a handful of other people already did, but Ana would hate to be the first one to a meeting anyway. Bellies full, warm-ups done, and fully awake, Ana and Haxorus had been making their way to where the meeting was to be held. When they finally arrived, it seemed they were not the only ones late. "Good morning, all. Sorry I'm late, but [i]somebody[/i] got us lost on the way." A deep grunt from Haxorus proved as a clear objection to Ana's statement, or a claim that it was her that got lost instead of the imposing Dragon-type Pokemon. Taking a seat at the table, her Haxorus faithfully standing behind her, Ana waited for the others to arrive. Even if waiting wasn't her strong suit, it was important to look good in front of the royal family and guards, given her activities before becoming one of them could lead to distrust if she made a bad impression.
