What lovely weather. Now I am glad I decided to linger in town for a while.

And also that I had the foresight to buy tea. In weather like this, it's more than worth the money.

I'd almost wish I'd stuck around back in New Bark, but if I had, I wouldn't have met my new partner - so I... guess it's a fair trade.

Was the tea expensive?

These Pokemon creatures are good companions, I will definitely say that for them.

And it wasn't too bad. One must prioritize, after all.

Forgive me for saying so, but your voice sounds somewhat familiar. Would you perhaps be Johan Andersen?

[overthedratini]

They are, definitely.

I'll have to look into some when we reach town then. Tea would have been great earlier.

... Ah, that's-- Yes, I am! Who is this? Do I know you?

[tarot_umbrella]

I don't believe we've ever met in person, but I certainly know you by reputation. It is possible you have heard of me as well. I am Saiou Takuma - I was once Edo Phoenix's manager.

So you're warm and dry, Saiou-san?

[tarot_umbrella]

Of course. You did tell me to take care of myself, did you not? Actually, I'd already left town, but I've spent enough time out-of-doors to know an oncoming storm when I see one. As soon as I saw those clouds rolling in, I doubled back quickly as I could.

[restardom]

Oh, good...

[tarot_umbrella]

And what of you? Have you found a safe place to weather the storm?

[foolishwren]

Heh... I wound up being more of a coffee person, but my dad always used to make tea on rainy days.

Makes me nostalgic. I should buy some.

Rain does inspire one to nostalgic, does it not? Or homesick...

You're free to join me, if you can find me.
