2 Daisy Petals

[By now, Chloe's cut the sleeves off his tuxedo shirt for comfort and the bowtie has found its way around the narrowest part of his Budew's body. She seems to have no problem with this decoration.]For such a small city, it's proving hard to find the person I need to. I'm sure he'd like his Venasaur back -- it was very useful for the journey, but it

[You might notice the camera is a little shaky. This would be because Mamoru is walking. And not holding the Gear himself. This would be because his arms are instead holding the young woman operating the Gear on his behalf: Aya.]

Indeed, I would like him back. If he isn't too tired, please send him back the way you came. I'm on Route 31 traveling back to Violet City.

[She feels guilty. It's not something she usually feels since she goes out of her way to be... friendly, maybe to Mamoru's frustration at times-- but it's well intended.

But it's not often she's a klutz either.

Regardless, there's a brief view of Aya-chan when the gear first comes on, but switches to Mamoru in time for him to start speaking.]

[In the background, Christine hops and smiles at them, since she can't exactly wave yet.]

I don't think he's too tired. We've rested at the Center already, so I'll send him over to you two. It looks like you need the help.

[deadfreesia]

That would be appreciated. How was the trip?

[Video]

[junebugfuji]

[She'll just keep her ears open for an opening to comment, though she's curious how his traveling is going she doesn't want to interrupt and make a BIGGER nuisance of herself than she feels she has already.]

It was warm, but bearable. I got the hang of fighting and your Venasaur helped during a couple tough battles.

And Aya, are you well?

[deadfreesia]

[Mamoru politely refrains from comment so as to give Aya the chance to respond.]

[Video]

[junebugfuji]

[She's glad to hear that. Not everyone's arrival should be as... um... eventful as hers. She perks at the mention of her name, smiling sheepishly.]

I'm fine, Chloe-kun, I just had a klutz moment in the cave is all.

[Video]

[blaettertanz]

I hope it heals fast, whatever's wrong.

With you two out of town and Ken and the other Aya still gone, I'll have to entertain myself, I suppose.

[Video]

[deadfreesia]

Not necessarily. One more of our group is in Violet City: Youji Kudou. I'm sure he would be delighted to get to know you better.

[You're welcome, Youji.]

[junebugfuji]

[She smiles, not that it's necessarily that visible at the moment with the camera angle she's keeping.]

Thank you.

[She quiets down again for Mamoru to speak up, grinning a bit.]

[Video]

[blaettertanz]

He and I have spoken a few times before.

[Can you hear the annoyance in his voice?]

In any case, I'll keep training my two until the third hatches.

[Video]

[deadfreesia]

[Why yes he can, and did you remember what Ken told you about how showing annoyance is a rude thing to do in Japan? Especially annoyance at someone's friend to their face. Tsk, tsk.

It's only a surprised, innocently taken-aback look Chloe gets in return.]

Is that so? Well, that makes things easier, then. You know who to look for.

[Video]

[junebugfuji]

[She'll just, for the moment and focus on keeping the gear steady, keep quiet about the conversation ongoing, but she does wonder about the annoyance. It's rather unfortunate if they don't get along.]

[Video]

[blaettertanz]

Sorry, Aya, I should have been more polite with you around.

When I run into him, I'll tell him it was your idea, Mamoru.

[Video] I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE EDITS FFFFFFFFFFF

[deadfreesia]

[The implication is that it's fine to not be more polite if it's just him. Nice to know.

He still keeps a gracious tone.]

Of course. If it would be of help for you to tell him, I encourage the revelation.
