[globetrotting]

That's what I thought too. [ She leans up to the table, removing her hands from the table and resting her arms instead against the side, still threading her fingers side by side but tilted, so her face - and his for her - can be seen. ]

But, soo - you might have a preference for blue, hmm? What kind of blue? Blue hair? Blue-skinned girls? I think I've seen some ladies like that around, actually.

[bravefighter]

N-Nothing like that...

[Blue hair isn't bad, but blue-skinned just seems kind of weird... anyway, he was just talking about--]

I meant it as a name. Me n'my friends have some pretty weird ones, I guess.

[globetrotting]

So I remind you of someone? [ She peers at him curiously, tapping the tips of her feet lightly on the floor. ] A good reminder?

[bravefighter]

Well... yeah! She's one of my best friends back home. I dunno where I'd be without her.

[globetrotting]

Really? Why don't you tell me about the two of you, then! It sounds like it'd be a good listen.

[bravefighter]

The two of us? Uh... dunno! I mean, we're just kinda trainers.

[globetrotting]

Just kinda being trainers is fine. How long have the two of you known each other?

[bravefighter]

Let's see... I think it's been around six years?

[Wait, really?]

Wow... I didn't realize it's actually been that long.

[globetrotting]

Time really flies, huh? [ Haha. ] Have you been a trainer that whole time?

[bravefighter]

Yep, sure have! Heck, even a lil' before that. Me and Poli have been together since I was little.

[globetrotting]

Wow, since you were a boy? Was it a special meeting?

[bravefighter]

Mhm! But nah, not really. We just kinda became fast friends!

Which I'm really thankful for. I would've drowned when I was little if it wasn't for him.

[globetrotting]

Woah, I don't know, that sounds like a pretty special meeting! What happened?

[bravefighter]

Well I mean, we met before that! But it wasn't anything major, really. Like I didn't fall off of a boat or somethin'.

[That happened later.]

I'm not really sure what happened myself, really. I was just swimming, then suddenly bam, I was being pulled back up to the surface by Poli.

[globetrotting]

What a close call. [ She breathes with relief, smiling. ] It was a good thing Poli was around then. Does he usually have to keep an eye on you?

[bravefighter]

Nah, not really. I'm good at taking care of myself!

[Kinda. Not really.]

Sometimes.

[globetrotting]

Sometimes. [ Repeated with amusement. ]

But okay, you were telling me about you and your Blue friend. Not that I would mind hearing more about Poli either, but how did you and she meet?

[bravefighter]

It's hit or miss...

[Either way...]

Well uh... she kinda flirted with me and stole my gym badges at the same time.

[globetrotting]

[ -- woah woah WOAH! ]

And then what happened?

[bravefighter]

Well uh... I got 'em back! I mean, I couldn't just leave without 'em, right?

[globetrotting]

So you just caught up to her and she handed them back? Nothing else?

[ come oonnn, it couldn't be so simple!! ]

[bravefighter]

It's... kind of a long story. Lemme see...

[It was six years ago, so let's see if he can remember it all.]

She was usin' my badges to try to intimate Team Rocket, who was looking for Mew... she gave 'em back to me after she managed to catch a few pictures of it.

[Said like it's no big deal. Red...]

[globetrotting]

...Wow!

[ When she speaks up a little after that, her face lights up with humour. She can't help giggling behind a hand. ]

You say it so easily! Getting involved with Team Rocket, taking pictures of Mew -- they must all be a big deal, right?

[ Blue leans back into her chair, a small smile still on her face. ]

Hmmm... and you didn't get involved in any trouble during her mischief, did you? [ well ] Besides getting charmed so easily by her cute face.

[bravefighter]

I guess so! I've just done both of 'em enough so that it doesn't feel like a big deal.

[Not really bragging or anything, just an observation.]

Hey now... [He wasn't charmed okay! Overwhelmed is a better word.] I had to sneak into their base, but that wasn't any trouble.

[globetrotting]

Doesn't sneaking into somewhere usually mean you're getting into trouble? And a team like Team Rocket don't sound very safe either.
