[Center][color=ed1c24]-Alexis & Sasha : Professor Cedars Lab-[/color] Alexis was mildly surprised as the teen didn't at all expect the girl to retort in such a haughty manner. The girl had spunk, Alexis could admit that, so all wasn't exactly lost... unless she used that silver tongue of a sword at the wrong, inconceivable moment. If the girl had any street smarts, she would hope to understand Alexis' sentiment. The teen pushed themselves off the wall, brushing their back off, smiling at the girl in a collective manner, or was it a confident smirk. Either way, Alexis chuckled at her choice of words, deciding to make another move - one that wasn't entirely in favor of disporting her. [color=ed1c24]"Oh my, my, my Princess, I must of offended such a precious, delecate flower... Heh, in all seriousness Princess, with that dress and you attending this lab like it's a fancy ball where you will be woo'd by the man of your dreams isn't exactly practical... so I'll choose whether to meddle in your affairs or not as I deem necessary, words nor bribery will silence me... I do hold some respect for you through your spunk."[/color] With that snappy remark, Sasha swinged his arms upwards, all while saying a few buns, seemingly in favor of their partner. And the duo seemed pleased at the fact that she was rather open to advice from others, as she welcomed the blunt honesty. Sure, it was rare to find someone rare who respected not having everything sugarcoated to the advantage of the talker, but coming from a kid who seemed almost so uptight was a bit unexpected. As the girl continued to talked, Alexis kept both ears employed to hear what she had to say,just in case she had anything else to say. From what was given, she really was going for the contest scene. The limelight, the glamour of being on stage... the duo knew that once, and they found it undesirable to return. Sasha uttered a sickened bun bun while shaking his head in disappointment. Before Alexis could even bother answering the privileged girl back, she uttered a rather familiar name. Coordinators usually knew their opponents if they had been near each other more than once. Alexis' head didn't rotate as fast as it should with their unsatisfied curiosity. Alexis could only paint a quizzical look while Sasha spun his head around, chanting bun bun while bouncing up and down to figure out why Alexis was in a deep state of thought. As the girl continued to speak, Alexis brooded over a simple name while absorbing the information given. The teen knew the name, but where was the larger picture, Alexis could only wonder. From what was discerned, Vanessa is a famous pokemon coordinator who held possibly expensive classes for young adults who wished to dabble in an art. It made the teen ponder on sparing her the trouble of realizing that contests task time and practice or let the girl figure it out for herself. Either way, Alexis decided not to elicit a response yet as the teen decided to let her talk her lip off. As the teen stood there, the girl offered for an invitation to join them at the boutique here in the city. Alexis smirked as the girl attempted to possibly insult the teen a subverted manner. Quite frankly, Alexis understood an insult when launched, but it honestly did not bother the teen at all. Shaking their head, Alexis stared the novice Coordinator, unfazed by the girls choice of words. [color=ed1c24]"Sorry honeybuns, but I have much more important things to do than hide behind a mere masquerade of who I am. Besides, primping myself isn't exactly my style. I've done it so many times, and it just feels out of place; it also is very vexing to Sasha and I, so again, thanks for the offer, but no thanks."[/color] With that said and done, Alexis let Sasha share his piece, even though he mildly growled at the girls volition inviting the duo to accompany the Princess and Blair, the boy who was possibly her boyfriend. Alexis formed an impish grin with a devious idea to tease the duo. Plotting, the Buneary let out spurs of advice she probably couldn't understand, but nevertheless took the time to try and explain it to her. Before given the chance to let their mind run on a rampage, the rather handsome boy interjected into their conversation. The boy commented on Alexis being confident to the point of making enemies. The teen frowned at the boy as Sasha let out a barrage of bun buns, yet it would probably go unheard unless he could discern the Bunearys feelings. Either way, he was displeased with the comment, and eventually finished the rant with a few final bun buns. The teen stared at Blair, and spoke coolly towards him, depriving his voice of any irritation. [color=ed1c24]"Sasha, you didn't have to defend my side, but thanks. At any rate handsome, let me explain my case. What you saw as rude was me bluntly stating the truth. If you want me to put sprinkles all over a hard thought, apologies but I'll pass. I speak what I mean, and if that comes off as nothing more than a brazen comment to you, deal with it. It's better to tell someone what you truly think rather than letting something build up in an unstable manner then topple it down. Got that reasoning committed to memory?" "At any rate, another reason why I must decline coming along with you two is I would be a mere third wheel. I would not prefer to drive a wedge during such an intimate moment between you two as it would just be awkward, hee!~"[/color] As the teen teased the duo, another person who appeared late began asking around for info on if he was late. The door was locked, so Alexis was a bit salty about that. The teen wasn't waiting until tomorrow, so screw it, no free items to assist on their journey. To add some icing to the top, the two people who were sitting by the labs entrance decided to answer him. Even worse was the fact that they blantly ignored the other person who actually asked the people in the general vicinity if the professor was home! Seriously, that did not pass the common sense test at all! As they walked inside, they immediately closed the door, leaving Alexis purely beffudled. Seriously? That was utter b.s. in eyes. Alexis promptly dashed over to the door and attempted to open the door, only to find that they locked the door behind them. This was not going to bode well with the teen whose next step was to utterly bash on the door to get their attention. Alexis couldn't tell if they interpreted the conversation the teen had with the girl incorrectly or were just ignorant that there was another trainer who was scheduled to come by the lab today. [color=ed1c24]"How the heck did you not notice me?! The lab is closed my ass if you guys somehow have access to it! Let me in you jerks!"[/color] Bashing the door as hard as the teen could with their right fist, a loud sound could be heard in the area eminating from the teens constant, unladylike assault against the entrance. This hopefully would alert anyone who was in the house, or just anyone in general. Eventually the teen switched fists and began slamming their left hand against the door, their right trembling erratically. This was definitely one particular way to start an adventure, but technically not the most desired.[/center]
