[h2][color=darkturquoise]Devon the Totodile[/color][/h2][b][Folio Town - Eastern Residential District][/b] [@Ninian][@Shiny Keldeo] The crispy Totodile's happy smile began to dip into a frown as Ember explained her phobia of large get-togethers. Devon was silent for a few moments as he thought over the Quilava's predicament, shaking his head and sighing as the smile came back. Albeit a bit smaller this time. [color=darkturquoise]"If you're ok with crowds, what's stopping you from being in a crowd with your friends?"[/color] Gesturing to himself, he went on. [color=darkturquoise]"Look at me, I'm actually really scared of being noticed in any sort of crowd. But I still went, and I had a good time. If it's being the center of attention that you're scared of, we'll make sure to tell everyone not to focus on you. Besides..."[/color] Looking over at Lilisette, he grinned toothily. [color=darkturquoise]"It's easier to handle when your friends are with you."[/color] His brown eyed gaze flicked back to the fire badger. [color=darkturquoise]"If you don't want to go, we won't force you Ember. We won't force Selena either. I just think it'd be alot more fun if all of Team Horizon were there for the first dinner."[/color] [h2][color=MediumVioletRed]Letho the Sableye[/color][/h2][b][Folio Town - Glyph's Guild][/b] A purple imp-like creature barring a gold pinned messenger bag and head hung low trudged towards the Dining Hall. Staring at his feet as he traversed the candle-lit halls. [color=MediumVioletRed][i]This is gonna blow....Should I get it over with now? Or wait until dinner's over?....Ugh. Whatever. Time to look good for the crowds.[/i][/color] A sigh seeped through Letho's sharp fangs as he approached the hall entryway. The Sableye stood up straight, and put on the most convincing, toothy grin that he could as he stepped through the door. Throwing his hands up in the air enthusiastically as he called out. [color=MediumVioletRed]"Heeey everyone! Ya didn't start the party without your ol pal Letho right!?"[/color] A collection of paws, hands, and claws went up in the air to wave at and cheer in greetings to the Ghost as he walked through to room towards an empty seat. High-fiving a few of his fellow Guild mates before a red, feathery arm suddenly reached out and grabbed him by the neck. [color=firebrick]"And where have [i]you[/i] been ya creepy little shit? You usually ain't this late for crashing parties! What gives!?"[/color] The Blaziken exclaimed as he locked the poor Darkness Pokémon in a headlock. Not that Letho minded, for the jewl covered mon simply snickered and attempted to struggle out of the bird's hold. [color=MediumVioletRed]"Unlike you Furno, I actually go for the [i]challenging[/i] missions. You really should try it sometime. I bet it gets pretty boring walking old Pokémon across the street eh?"[/color] A few snickers played out from around the Fire-Fighting type as he simply grinned and began to noogie the imp. [color=firebrick]"You think I don't pull my own weight around here? You're lying out your ass! Let's see your wimpy little arms try to bust through some rocks during a cave-in, way down in the depths of Travega Cave! [i]Then[/i] you can talk to me about challenge!"[/color] The two shared a hearty laugh, though Letho's was a bit more forced as he took a few quick glances at the large green dragon at the end of the table lost in conversation with the Dance Troupe's leader. [color=MediumVioletRed][i]This might take awhile....[/i][/color]
