Stephanie Irwin
@Joshua Tamashii
After a successful brief morning training, Steph felt a little more content with how her party was coming together. She already had nearly two full teams, but she knew she would need more if she was to overcome this challenge. Of course there were certain core members she would want to keep together, but that didn't mean they would pair well against every leader and trainer she would fight along the way. With Dwayne the geodude now added to that roster, she did umm and ahh about what she should add next but honestly that was a pretty long list. She was better off focusing on what she currently had and could deal with that anyway.
For now she returned to Amelia who was in the process of waking up and packing up her stuff, to which before Steph answered her she gave a brief nod to the Golett and let Dusk hop off her shoulder and drop...float down to the ground? Eh, details.
"Brekkie? Ye thaht's the fuhst staep taowahds a lawng die! Espaecially seence we gawt moah wohkin t' do sao we gawtta piien the eahs bahck and wehk a biieh' eh?" She wasn't too sure how Amelia would fare with travel, but she figured she might have to slow herself down a tad to allow the girl to keep pace. Though suppose if things got too dire, Steph reckoned Amelia looked pretty light so she could just carry her a fair distance of the way if she had to so she figured that was worth keeping in the back pocket. She did say she would rather that not happen, but till they got a Gogoat or something similar Steph didn't see much of an option. Unless her Golett carried her? Maybe but it probably wasn't all that quick either. Eh, a bridge to cross when they got there. She would have to reconsider her map to see how far the next town was anyway, not being overly familiar with the region not being a local and all.
"Yayh nao prawblem mate, everybody's gawtta staht somewheah and leahn roigh'? Though yah daon't oolwhys hahve t' cook in the mawnin, sometoimes Oy just gao weeth the old fitehful of some fruih' aw brayd and the loike. Maowstly depends on whaht yah wahnna ayt, buh' if yah huyng around me lawng enough Oy'll shaow yah a thing aw two abeow' some cookin. nawt the baest buh' Oy geh' the jawb dun." She had picked up a few things from her Aunt and Uncle, and even her cousins though to a lesser extent. Especially as she got ready to set out for the league competition and all. Cooking was a valuable tool for any stage of life, but especially when journeying through a region when you weren't in a town with easy access to food. Just had to bite the bullet and make do with whatever you had, just the way Steph liked to live life.
Using the still warm embers of last nights fire, it was easy enough to get a new fire going and cook up some basic grub for breakfast. What exactly? Who cared about that detail right now, but something basic and filling before another big day. She would try her best to show Amelia how to use the embers to start a new fire and explain that before they left they would have to throw a bucket of water or something over the embers to prevent it being a hazard later down the line, as embers tend to burn for a long time even after a fire is dead, hence why they can even use the embers so easily in the first place. Then once that was done just let Amelia watch as she cooked up the food and then once they had themselves some grub and fed their mons, suppose it was time to move onto their next course of action.
Which, if the info Steph had on the place was right then her next designation seemed obvious as she looked down at the device in her hand showing the map of the route.
"Suppose ahh fuhst stawp is the fishing stoah, rods ahh pretty usaeful faw ooll koinds of theengs. Aftah thaht we gawtta head through the forest t' geh' t' Starbor Village, sao we'll say haow thaht ooll faehs buh' weeth any luck we'll be theah befoah dahk. If nawt, guess weah cahmpin in the forest and gettin t' the village in the mornin'. Nawt much use fussin ovah haow lawng it'll tyke us." Though contrary to what she said, she would love to just rush forward and get the ball rolling. But with the responsibility she had decided to undertake taking care of the little shiela, she just had to be content with a bit of a slower approach than first planned.
But with her plan for the day laid out, she let Amelia give her input or suggestions on what else they could do but otherwise she was set to get going to the store, assuming nothing held them up before they got there it shouldn't take long, but after the hectic day she had yesterday? Wouldn't be surprised if something happened along the way there, but guess that was the fun of the journey now wasn't it!
"Oh and moigh' mayt up weeth a mite of moine, lovely shiela by the nyme of Freya. tohl, blahck haeh, rayl bahsketbohlah, modelin type. yah'll knaow hah whaen yah say hah."
