Perri Guthrie
Lo Town - Pokemon Sanctuary - Morning - Interacting With: Lisette, Ryan, and Sid@Rune_Alchemist@deathbringer
Hmm...~
Perri got a really obvious hint over which direction this conversation was heading, especially since she outright ignored his question, but tried to take control over this whole situation. Looks like it was heading in that direction... oh well. You can't win em' all... or befriend em' all, that's for certain. But regardless...
Perri's expression darkened a bit, a still smile still lingering on his face as the girl prattled on about being socially inept and all that jazz. He nodded, still keeping an eye on her irritated face, pondering on if he should see how the girl might react if he just spoke up, saying "oh wow, you look even cuter when you're angry," but nah, his intuition was telling him that it was currently a bad idea.
So, he just simply kept his mouth sealed.
... for now, anywho...
Even so, during her "verbal beat down," he kept smiling, closed his eyes, and nodded constantly to each of the girls words. Mock sentiment, or not, one thing always went through his mind - "you don't need t'fix it if it ain't broken."
Eventually she ended it on a hollowed high note with a vague threat... or was it a warning... maybe both? Regardless, he didn't dwell on it too long, crossing over his arms over as she just called him off as a creep... and he chuckled, musing over that word as if it was a part of a greater schematic for life.
... but regardless, it was funny that she was calling him a creep when he immediately noticed the provocative view she was giving him. It only caused him to tilt his head in a quizzical matter, muttering something under his breath as he pressed one of his index fingers across his lips, as if to hide the fact he was speaking. "Hmm... not so different."
Soon enough, she left with a threat that actually wasn't vague, oh wow! An even larger smile crept up onto Perri's face, slowly and surely. He was playing should he or should he not with an invisible daisy in his head before coming to a conclusion... that was interrupted by a sudden tugging at his pants. Of course, that was the only thing to give him much pause and immediately turn that smile down just a notch.
Perri saw the way Lumino was glaring at him - it was a mixture of fear, but also a mixture of seriousness that told Perri to end this whole game. If anything, this kept him from properly shooting back an answer at the silk hiding steel cutie, but also gave him some time to consider what he was thinking.
"Lumino, come on, y'know I do all the time," the pokemon pouted at his response, albeit in an angry sort of way, shaking his head as if to deny Perri's chances of having more fun. The Roserade did his best to sty stoic, before Perri just shook his head and shrugged, inadvertently causing some of his white hair to obscure one of his eyes.
"Eh, fine, fine, I'll let this time go, buuuuuuut," he held up an index finger, wickedly grinning and squinting down onto Lumino, causing the small pokemon to tremble a bit.
"The next time an opportunity like this rises, I'm grabbin' at it, but only if Iiiiiii don't cause it... but jus' this once," he chuckled, silently battling against his fathers pokemon with their determination... which ultimately lead to Lumino leaning their head back, groaning a bit, and shrugging.
And to the victor, went the spoils.
"Yay, awesome," he shouted out, that devilish demeanor disintegrating as he cheerfully fist bumped into the air with a smile on his face. Letting his arm swiftly fall, he put a finger up to his lip, looking around, analyzing the area.
He already went that way, but there were a lot of people... sooooooooooo.
"Thattaway we go," he exclaimed, inadvertently walking in a path that was similar to the girl he tried to fluster.
As he began marching down the invisible path, Perri twisted and turned his head at every angle, scanning for any signs of trouble he could jump into. Machinations filled his head as he took note of two handsome fellas sitting under a tree... and that same cutie he tried to fluster.
Perri paused for a moment, pondering on if he could try to mess around with that chickadee again. Taking one step forward, he was stopped by Lumino, who quickly sped up from behind him and stared up at him, shaking his head as he crossed his arms. Perri smiled weakly at the Roserade and nodded, clenching one of his fists and slapping it on his hip.
... but then of course, there came that golden opportunity in the midst of a forlorn sea. As soon as Perri heard a couple of words escape from each of the boys mouths from a decent distance, all he could do was laugh.
At first, it started out soft, earning his father's Roserade a quizzical raise of his flowery eyebrow. Over time it began to rise up, before growing to be loud enough to resonate around the vicinity, and turn a few heads... but what of the twins and the chickadee?
If they were to gaze over, they would see Perri slowly sauntering over to them, placing a hand on his hip as he traversed closer and closer to them. If Perri was asked to describe how he was walking right now, he would say it was similar to a woman at a fashion show in Kalos.
Stereotypical, but still.
"Hopefully I'm not interrupting anything, buuuuut I couldn't help but hear such a hi-laaaaarious joke," he spoke up cheerfully, punctuating the hilarious in an overblown fashion. Raising up a finger, he brandished his canines, smirking widely as he raised up a finger... all while Lumino just managed to finally make it to them after standing in shock over the way Perri's laughter escalated.
"A joke made at my expense to be precise," he sniggered a bit, beaming brightly as he closed one eye and set an index finger under his chin. He then proceeded to snap and point a finger gun at the redhead, opening both of his eyes, squinting just slightly at her.
"Also Missy, if you wanted to be a little more... accurate, then you would'f said guys as well," Perri put a hand to the side of his mouth as if telling the girl a secret.
"Regardless, the worst possible scenario for me and that tidbit of info asiiiiiiide," he drew the whole phrase out a bit, whirling back to look at both the twins. Despite the faint smell of trouble (and what he thought was some drink), he decided to continue indulging in this all, as opposed to leaving.
"What's this about a 'Pokemon Party' one of you said?"
When those words escaped his lips, his grin became more devilish, and his eyes twinkled with interest, his curiosity unsatiated. Even with his attention focused on the twins, Perri made sure to keep tabs firecracker, in case she wanted to stay true to her threats... and Lumino?
The Roserade just kept his eyes to the sky.
