Orchid (Lin) | Vermilion (Qiao)

Qiao's eyes narrowed intensely as Willis began to utter the question Lin always fielded. While she knew that Lin was not one to be concerned by such things, Qiao also knew that her charge sometime was not good at standing her ground, at least for her own benefit. However, Qiao had no issue fulfilling that role. She would of course keep silent on the matter, but if he did not get the message solely based on her body language, then he was denser than she already assumed he was. Lin politely listened to the other trainers that had made their way over to their little haven. She could instantly pick up the accents from both of them, as well as Willis now that he had said a few words to her. Viridian, Fuschia, and one Pallet native.

Lin introduced herself between Willis introductions to the consistently growing group of trainers, making sure to also introduce Qiao and her Eevee. Unlike some of the other trainers, she had not chosen to nickname her companion, but it was tradition in the household to wait until her Eevee evolved into an Espeon before learning her companion's name. Psychic type Pokemon could communicate in far more profound of ways with their trainer compared to most other types of Pokemon and the exceptionally strong bond between an Espeon and their trainer was even more intense than most psychic types. It was rumored, and not far from the truth, that the strength of the Espeon was from the desire to protect its trainer. Lin had experienced a small portion of that with her parents' Espeons as she grew up, the psychic creatures having helped her masquerade as normal for an extra year, something she was forever grateful for. The other tradition for the Songs was to only let the Espeon share the name with you. Bei was her father's Espeon - Fon, her mother's.

Lin's bond with her Eevee was also quite strong, but it was not experienced enough to make the next step in the evolutionary process. It was from a litter of Eevee Bei and Fon had produced. Lin's Eevee stood out to her the moment she saw it. She carried herself differently than the other Eevee, with a thoughtfulness and awareness of her impact. She spent time herding her litter mates out of trouble, but still taking an independent stand. In all honesty, Lin knew it was not her parents that she was most concerned about disappointing, but her Eevee. Her blindness was a limiter on her ability to develop an even deeper trust crucial to a powerful Espeon.

Before anyone could comment, she added to answer Willis's question, as well as head off any others, "Blind, yes." She smiled at the question. She knew that Qiao would be glaring at him intensely - one of the few things she could still recall every detail of.

"So one Viridian, one Fuschia, and one Pallet representative," Lin spoke, deciding to try to avoid a lull in the conversation, especially given the now 15 minute period of time they had to kill, as well as demonstrate her ability to pick up on some of the regional speech behaviors. Something that had become a talent out of necessity. 

"I got Saffron covered. I'm pleased to meet each of you and your Pokemon." Eevee tapped her leg twice with her tail, indicating the presence of Opora and Perna, "And, if you two others would not mind introducing yourself, I'd appreciate it as I have no idea where you are." This was partially true. Even with the noise of the crowd, she had been able to listen enough to know the general vicinity of those staying outside the central mass of people. Lin had no qualms making commentary about her blindness, partially because it functioned well as a way to force people to speak with her, either out of guilt or necessity. It would be cruel for them not to respond as silence was essentially blindness on two fronts for her - although the din of the crowd of trainers would make sure silence was not a concern. Lin was also a realist and knew that the more contacts you had on the road, the less dangerous it became.
