Unlike Simon, Nia had been getting plenty of rest. Traveling with company had kept her pace leisurely, and she had just as much faith in meeting with Simon as she had before. She wasn't nervous or rushed. Just excited.

Today the excitement was getting the better of her, and she rushed ahead of her companion on the path. Even Togetic stayed behind, flying slowly but surely down the route as Nia went on ahead. She knew Simon well enough to know he was moving faster than her - that he would reach her soon.

He'd managed at least one night of rest, thanks mostly to Kaito sending him back to pick up Fish and his passing out at the Pokemon Center in Cherrygrove the night before.

But as Sandshrew crawled up Simon's arm onto his shoulder, Simon continued forward and caught a glance of extremely cotton-candy-y hair. Which could only mean one thing.

"Nia!"

Nia hadn't expected him quite so soon, and was visibly surprised. She paused mid step, despite the fair distance remaining between them. Somehow, she was too startled to be anything but calm.

"Simon. Good day."

He blinked, quietly. He was hesitant to continue if she'd stopped. Was there a reason? Had he done something wrong? His stomach turned uncomfortably.

Maybe she was mad because he'd taken so long.
