[center][h1][color=#add8e6]Ryan Frost[/color][/h1]- In the Pokemon Contest Line.
- Interacting with: Almost Chance ([@ZachChase]) Almost Danilo ([@TalijaKey])[/center][hr]

His attention with the intrusive Fletchling and his own Vulpix was cut short when he heard a voice behind him, coming from where the Skitty he had noticed earlier was. As he turned to face that direction, he heard him say, presumably directed at Ryan, "[color=8dc73f]Uhhh- hey, hows it goin'?[/color]" To which Ryan froze near instantly. He didn't freeze because he was put off by an attempt at interaction, or due to him being rude in an manner, but instead only because he found it very odd that someone would try to take the time and directly talk to him. It was a part of life that he wasn't particularly used to due to his mother and how he often did not need to do the speaking himself. Even at school, no one really made an effort to converse with him, and he wasn't the one who would normally initiate a conversation. It was only after he got on the ship that they made an effort to talk to him, but by then he felt he had no experience with it, usually muttering some sort of random strings of words until he realized they long since left. While he has had some practice since then, he often found it was because he mentally prepared himself for it, and this was just sprung up on him.

He took a deep breath, taking a moment to prepare and find the calmness to smile before he fully turned his attention to Chance. [color=#add8e6]"He-Hey th-"[/color]
[color=8882be]"My apologies if my friend has in anyway bothered you. My name is Danilo and that is Francis." [/color]

To which he was cut off by another trainer dashing to the scene. It was the fancy one he had taken note of, and while he didn't seem threatening or rude, the interaction once more made Ryan feel out of place or awkward.
[color=#add8e6]"Oh, uh, well you know-"[/color] He said lightly to himself, to which the trainer's focus had went from Ryan to the Skitty and their trainer. Ryan stood there for a second, wondering what just happened and contemplating if he was to be a part of it. On the bright side to him, it meant that he could start preparing for if they wanted to speak to him again. He looked down at Pixie, the vuplix seemingly laughing with a gleeful smile on her face. He laughed slightly to himself, kneeling down and petting her again as he waited for the line to move...

Sure is a lot more busier than he expected.
