[globetrotting]

You should. [ Absolutely totally. ] Have you never left outside the village?

[bravefighter]

I wander 'round the woods with Saur sometimes, but for the most part I just stay in, yeah.

[globetrotting]

Then you're missing out! [ She taps her hands together for effect. ] There's a waterfall running through the mountains and hot springs too. The open plains are wonderful just for all that space, and then you've the beach if you go over or under the mountains.

The battle dome is fun and all, but you've really got to get out more!

[bravefighter]

Sounds like some pretty varied areas! I'll have to check 'em out.

Especially the hot spring. I really liked the one I went to back home.

[globetrotting]

I would be happy to take you. And your friends Poli and Saur.

And you'll really be needing a soak if you take the climb there. The mountains are a good workout!

[bravefighter]

Sure! If you'd wanna, I wouldn't mind. Pika too. I doubt he'd wanna hop in the water though.

But that should be fun too. I know jogging isn't a complete workout.

[globetrotting]

Nu uh. You do like travelling, don't you? You don't have the eventual new cities like you would back home, but it's still a good way to getaway.

Hmmm... [ She pinches her lips, then smiles. ] Do you have anything important happening any time soon?

[bravefighter]

That's pretty true too. It's a shame, I'd really like to see what kinda cities would be around here.

[But hmm...]

Nah, nothin' I can think of!

[globetrotting]

I've heard there are other settlements around buuut, I don't know if there's any way of visiting.

[ Hmm, she doubts it.

Anyway! ] But okay, let's do it. To the hot springs first? We may be gone for a tiiiny while. [ Her wings flap out and she brings her elbows onto the table, tapping her feet with her chin rested on her hands. ] We could go tomorrow maybe? The day after?

[bravefighter]

Huh, really? Well, I might have to ask around and see what pops up!

[Either way... to focus on the plans.]

Well sure! That sounds pretty good to me.

[globetrotting]

Then it's a date! Well, depending on which date it is you wanna go. Which are you leaning to?

[bravefighter]

[Date? ... Just a normal expression, right? Haha...ha...]

Uh... right! Tomorrow. That sounds good.

[globetrotting]

[ HEH HEH HEH HEH. ]

Good! Tomorrow then. And our timer should be--

[ bzzzt! Five minutes and fifty comments. HOW 'BOUT THAT. ]

There it is! [ Standing uppp. ] Well, I hope you enjoyed yourself. I'm looking forward to talking to you more -- not that we couldn't sneak out early with some of the cookies if I can keep you interested in more than just my looks. [ wink! ]

[bravefighter]

I did! Hope you did too.

[Sneaking out with cookies doesn't seem so bad, but...]

Hey! I wasn't interested in only that. You were really fun to talk to.

[globetrotting]

Then I'm glad. Thanks for humouring all my questions; I really like getting to know people!

Before we go, are you going to give me a name to call you and a place we can find each other?

[bravefighter]

Red! I'm usually around House 11 or the Battle Dome. It should be pretty easy to find me there.

[globetrotting]

Alright, then I'll meet you tomorrow at House 11. See you, Red.

[ Tiny finger wave! ]

[bravefighter]

[And a wave back!! Yayyyy new friends.]

[globetrotting]

[ AND IT IS THE NEXT DAY.

Blue arrives to House 11 rather early. Whether Red is there to meet her or not, the girl leaves him the message that she'll be back around lunchtime to get him for their trip, and that he should pack plenty of food for it. It's fine if he didn't get the time to do, or even if he did, after warm welcomes later on a visit to the village square is necessary.

They'll need to take some gear with them too!

Because the trip to the hot springs isn't an easy one, nor a short one. They're not details Blue gets into until when Red might question her about if they'll be there yet. Only then will she let him in on the fact that no, no they are not.

Needless to say, the hot springs will be an absolute welcome once they get there a day and a half later, even for Blue's more active feet. But she does love travelling, and is sure to talk and ask Red questions about himself along the way, and shares as well stories about what she's seen around Luceti.

And if Red thinks to ask her about a name, she'll go, "Why don't you call me Blue."

Nevermind all that though! The trickiest part of all the trip is the final climb over rocky heights, but once conquered, the hot springs is in full view. Blue takes the lead very happily, and despite the excitement there might be in finally reaching their destination she's sure to tell Red to be mindful of his steps on the way down. But standing there on flat ground, the air warmer than it had been all through their climbing, Blue stretches out her arms high and then bends them back, moaning noisily and with giddiness behind a closed mouth, finishing it off with a sigh. ]

Red! [ she turns around, arms still behind her back ] Get your shoes and socks off and soak them in! I promise, they'll feel as good as new in no time!

[bravefighter]

[It definitely was a trip up there. He didn't really expect it to be that much of a workout, but he also doesn't seem to mind at all. Especially once they reach the top, when the air is heavier and warmer...

Just the atmosphere helps him relax.]

Alright, alright!

[He does what she recommends. His shoes and socks are coming right off, so he can run right over to the spring to dip his feet in. That definitely feels way better already.]

Ahhh...

[globetrotting]

[ Good, you better not have minded it! Blue made sure they were all nicely prepared and had good food to keep them going! The hot springs may be a little similar to the one that Red had soaked in on Mt. Silver, having curative properties to them. Good stuff. At least it's good water one way or another.

While he's soaking his feet, Blue takes the time to look through her bag. There's actually a bit she was carrying, some materials needed to make a campfire and the saucepan for cooking. But that's all for much later, when she's had a thorough soak.

Which she comes over to join Red to do, plopping herself down with some folded towels between them. She rolls up her leggings after taking off her socks and shoes because heck yeah, she's putting her legs in too. ]

Ahhhh- this place is so good!

[ She chuckles, arching her back in and puffing out her chest to once more stretch. Her legs push against the water, but only a bit. ]

Let's stay here for a week.

[bravefighter]

A week?

[He did just meet her, but... it'd definitely be a good bonding experience! Especially with how nice the water feels currently. How was he supposed to refuse such a relaxing offer?]

I wouldn't mind! I don't think the others would really mind me stepping out for a week, anyway.

[globetrotting]

[ She wasn't actually serious, but! ]

If you really want to! [ She laughs, lifting out a leg from the water to hold up before letting it back in. ] You can get back to the village pretty easy if you ever need to.

[bravefighter]

If you wanna. You heard what my schedule was like. It's not like I have much else to do.

[Plus learning about other trainers is good.]

Really? I don't have a flying pokemon or anything to fly back with.

[globetrotting]

[ Who ever said she was a trainer, huh!! But oh yeah, about getting back... ]

No problem. [ She leans towards him, pointing to an object over in his direction. ] Do you see that metal structure over there? Near the wall?

[ The steam might make it hazy with the distance, buuut...! ]
