( action ) sorry for the lateness. work has been eating me.northerncrossesJune 11 2011, 14:13:13 UTC
[ for the entire time they've been traveling through route 29, sheryl had been sight-seeing. seeing frontier was one thing; it was still a domed city after all. seeing true-to-life nature (albeit with weird creatures -- then again, she's used to aliens) was another thing.
but as much as admiration as she had for her surrounding landscape, it still wasn't enough to quell her desire for a town. OR AT LEAST SOMEWHERE TO PROPERLY REST IN.
so upon lacus crying out 'Cherrygrove', sheryl is more than eager to run up (despite in high heels and with alto right behind her), a hand shading over her eyes. ]
( action ) please don't don't worry! I understand! I have school work, so take your time. lc_whitequeenJune 11 2011, 20:58:42 UTC
[ Lacus smiled, she knew that they were all pretty tired. However, she knew that before she did she had to take Mister Pink to the Pokemon Center first and maybe buy some things to make for dinner.
Athrun was already here with a room for them, so she thought maybe Sheryl and Midori can go ahead without her. They can rest and enjoy a bath. After this little trip, they will feel better after one. ]
Isn't is wonderful?
If you want, Sheryl, we have a room at the inn. Athrun booked it for us.
Let's! Then we can head off the inn together after for some well-deserved R and R.
[ alto settles on top of sheryl's head with a deep and content chirp. he's been considerably exhausted for the past day or so after having battled a few pokémon along the way but sheryl was glad to see at least that there was much determination in his little body. ]
And we'll get you patched up too. [ she pats alto on top of his head before she peers over at lacus' arm. ] How's Mister Pink?
[ Lacus giggles. It was hard not to get caught up by Sheryl's enthusiasm. ]
That sounds like a plan. Sleeping on a bed sounds wonderful now.
[ At Sheryl's question, she does begin to worry. Mister Pink was trying to be tough by walking by itself before she scoops him up to carry him herself. ]
Maybe... maybe I am just not a good trainer. I feel horrible. But, it is clear that he still wants to battle...
[ Lacus brightened up a bit. She knew Sheryl was right, but it was just horrible to see Mister Pink try so hard yet she couldn't do anything.
Mister Pink gave her a determined pout that told her that he wasn't blaming her. He was a pokemon. He was supposed to protect her and not the other way around. ]
I'm sorry, Sheryl. You're right. It isn't like me to be like this. I will try much harder next time.
[ Feeling a little happier than she had all morning, she walked a bit faster overtaking her companions. ]
That's the spirit! You won't accomplish much if you're being too negative or hard on yourself.
[ sheryl smiles once more, alto giving an affirmative and cheerful chirp. ] See? Even Alto agrees with me, for once.
[ she hastens her pace as well, matching lacus'. for one, she just wanted to get to the pokémon center asap and get this over with so she can move to the inn already. and another, she's not one to be left behind.
she then stretches her arms above her head, taking a deep breath. ]
Do you think they have cake here? I'm really craving for something sweet after all that traveling.
[ Lacus looks up to Alto and throws him a grateful smile. With Mister Pink and Alto, who seemed and acted like they knew what they were talking about--- it was difficult to think of them without an opinion. ]
Thank you, Alto.
[ Nearing the entrance, she remembers her promise to Athrun that they would meet at the entrance. So, she sends him a message. It would be more convenient to meet Athrun there, right? He could meet her two companions at the same time. ]
I hope so. I would really love some tea with some cake.
Aah, tea. It feels like a long time since I had one.
[ just four days before actually, still less than a week. and yet from all their traveling, it felt like she's been away from civilization for so long. perhaps because she's never really been used to this kind of travel.
her tours were a completely different case. she flew on hyperspace jets, stayed in luxury hotels . . . ]
Tea and cake and then a hot bath after. [ once more, she pauses. ] Where are you heading off after this town?
What is your favorite? I always had a fondness for milk tea when I have cake.
[ For Lacus it had probably been longer since she last relaxed and had tea. It was only when she came to Johto that she realized how busy she was. She had little time for herself since the war ended.
At the mention of bath once again, Lacus laughed. ]
Stop it, Sheryl. You're making me sigh just thinking about it. We should really have that after we are finished at the pokemon center then.
[ Without hesitating, she gave an answer. ]
Athrun plans to escort us to Violet, if you still want to continue this journey with us... my promise was only until Cherrygrove. [ Pause. ] Is it selfish for me to say that I would love for you to stay?
[ sheryl laughs lightly as well, her pace hastening. ]
Then we better hurry and finish everything we need to do.
[ her laughter fading, she slightly tilts her head to one side in thought. admittedly there was quite a few more things she wanted to talk to about, especially with regards to music. staying with the group is something sheryl didn't mind -- but she also did promise ranka that they would meet halfway.
though where halfway would be . . . she's unsure yet. ]
I'd love to stay as well but I'll give you an answer once I contact another friend of mine who's in another city. [ she smiles assuredly. ]
( action ) -1/2lc_whitequeenJune 15 2011, 09:27:59 UTC
[ Yes, they never really finished talking about music. There was still so much that she wanted to know. She especially wanted to see Sheryl perform. With such differing personalities, it is very likely that she gives off a different feel in performance.
She wanted to see that.
But, she also knows that Sheryl will want to see her friends. For that, she will pray for her and her friends safe journey. ]
I understand, so until then... I'll take advantage of this time with you. There are still a lot of things I still want to talk about.
( action ) -2/2lc_whitequeenJune 15 2011, 12:47:40 UTC
[ She was going to ask Sheryl about her music, but she stopped when she asked about Athrun. At first, Lacus didn't understand what she meant by the question and stared at her in confusion.
It didn't take long for her to begin to. She smiled and began to think of how to explain their friendship. ]
Just friends, Sheryl.
But, I have to admit we were engaged once... for four years, but even then I don't think we ever managed to see each other beyond friends.
but as much as admiration as she had for her surrounding landscape, it still wasn't enough to quell her desire for a town. OR AT LEAST SOMEWHERE TO PROPERLY REST IN.
so upon lacus crying out 'Cherrygrove', sheryl is more than eager to run up (despite in high heels and with alto right behind her), a hand shading over her eyes. ]
Finally! Finally we're here!

Ah! [ she pauses, tapping her chin. ] I need to drop by the Pokémon Center first to get something.
You guys go ahead first if you want.
Reply
I can't go yet, I need to go to the Pokemon Center as well.
[ She had attempted to battle with Mister Pink on their way there, but Lacus failed miserably. It had been eating on her conscience since then.
A friend was sending something to her through the PC as well. ]
We can go together if you like? I also need to use their PC.

Don't say that, Lacus! It's understandable that you're not that good yet since you're just starting. It just means there's room for improvement.
[ she sighs, folding her arms across her chest. ] So all you need to do is to work and keep on training.

Speaking of Athrun~ [ she slows down, scooting closer to lacus. ] I hear you're very close friends. J~ust friends?

It was called off when we were sixteen.
