Open to all~! Mio shows Mayu around and introduces her to her friends

[remainingtwin]

[She was full of a dual anxiety and excitement. She'd been living in this place for some time now, so she as excited to see her sister and have her with her. She was excited to show her around the new world they'd found themselves in, some place safe and beautiful and so far removed from the horror of their previous situation.

Sometimes Mio could pretend it had all been some terrible dream.]

Everyone's very nice. [She told Mayu this, talking with her as she led her up to the house] Well--Albert's pretty mean and rude, but he's just like that. I'm not sure he knows what happiness is.

[She giggled a little.

It was easy to pretend it had never happened, to repress the memories and pretend things were okay with it. Her desperation to have everything be normal helped her to bypass all the obvious clues that thing were Wrong. She didn't want to believe them, so she ignored them. Simple as that]

I'm sure everyone else will be nice though!

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[Okay so it's just a bit past the Puppy Discovery, and so, when Coop answers the door, he's got a Growlithe in his arms and a Poochyena behind him, which he's discreetly shooing back with his foot so it won't escape out through the door.]

[HI THERE, GIRLS. It's just a taste of what's to come, really, cause there are probably puppies anywhere you look. Most of them in the yard, but still. So many puppies. Twenty-four of them.]

[Coop looks largely untroubled by this, though, and gives Mio a quick smile in greeting - Mayu gets something a little more searching, but not unfriendly.]</sub>

Mio! Come on in. I take it this is your sister?

[remainingtwin]

[Puppies. So many puppies! Her eyebrows up in her hairline, Mio doesn't respond for a few seconds, too busy marveling over the sudden pokemon population increase.

But she soon returns Cooper's smile, taking her sister's hand] Hello Mr. Cooper! Yes, this is Mayu. [She looked to her sister, gesturing to Cooper]

Mayu, this is Mr. Cooper. He's one of the men that lives here. He's very friendly. [And not too unlike the puppies he's carrying, at least in Mio's eyes.]

We're going Cooper, Mio, Mayu, right

[togetherforever]

[Goddamn, so many puppies. Mayu's eyes lit up upon seeing the swarm of puppies in the area. That seemed to have brought her out of her runt that she's been in for the past few days.]

[Don't mind her watching in amazement before realizing there was someone new in their presence.] Um, h-hello Mr. C-Cooper. It's nice to meet you...

[togetherforever]

[To be honest, Mayu doesn't know how she should be feeling. Yes, it was nice that this seemed to be another chance to patch things up with Mio and live life like how it used to be but this seems to good to be true. Almost like a dream perhaps? She was doubting that this new life was actually happening.]

[As they approached the house, familiar feelings of timidness and worry entered her mind; meeting totally new people was totally not her area. She also seemed to have a dejected look on her face but for what reason?]

...Do you think they'll like me? [It was the only sentence that came out of her mouth. This girl was still not really thinking straight even after 2 weeks of being here.]

[remainingtwin]

Of course they will. [Mio is reassuring, her expression sympathetic as she looks to her sister.]

They're all friendly, I promise. [A smile] Besides, what's not to like? You're cute and nice--and a lot more polite than me! I'm sure they'll like you.

[togetherforever]

[Normally whenever Mio tried to reassure her worry, Mayu would give a smile and trusts Mio's word. However, she seemed to remain unfazed and just looked away when she received those words.] If you say so...

[remainingtwin]

[Mio paused, hesitating between wanting to ask and wanting to keep herself ignorant to any and all problems.

Finally, concern wins out] Are you okay, Mayu? We don't have to do this if you don't want to! I... just thought it'd be nice. But it can wait, or...?

[togetherforever]

[Mayu looks towards her sister, looking completely opposite of how she was feeling earlier. If she kept her usual facade up, this Mio, as well as everyone else, might figure out what's up.]

Mio, its fine. [She tried to sound reassuring.] I'm just nervous, that's all. I'm ok with being shown around, really.

[remainingtwin]

Sorry. [Mio looks apologetic and sheepish] I'm just...worried,I guess. I can't help it.

[She reaches for her twin, to pull her into a hug] I'm so happy to have you back.

[togetherforever]

[She gave a smile as she embraced the hug.] It's good to see you again too, sis.

Should we do Mio, Reid, Mayu?

[leftinbasketforfbi]

[Some time after Mio has had a chance to properly show Mayu around, Reid is curled up on the edge of the living room couch, reading a thick brick of a textbook (apparently on Pokemon anatomy). He looks up when they enter the room, quickly marking his place in his book.] Hey there. [He smiles and gestures for them to come closer, turning his attention onto Mayu. He's been trying pretty hard these last few days to make her comfortable, since she's obviously been through a serious trauma, and the least he can do is try to make her transition into all this as smooth as possible.]

How are you liking the house so far? Everyone's been friendly, right? [Beat.] Everyone except Albert?

Sounds alright!

[togetherforever]

Hello. [Mayu remembered this familiar face and the words that were said during their first encounter. She was obviously still holding something against Reid for having such a close bond with her sister but for the moment, she's trying to hide it behind a friendly face like she usually does.]

This place was...alright. Everyone's nice and all.. [Such a generic answer.]

works for me~

[remainingtwin]

[Mio, by contrast, is smiling lightly and eager to talk. She stays by Mayu's side though, one hand on her arm as if in support.]

There were so many puppies! They were really cute, right, Mayu? [She smiles at her sister, then looks away to hide her mild unease. She tells herself she's being silly, because Mayu seems to be doing a lot better now than earlier, but she can't help but worry.

Her attention turns to Reid] But it was nice. Have you just been sitting here reading since we left?

[leftinbasketforfbi]

[The generic answer doesn't surprise Reid. It's common to feel emotionally numb after a shock, and if this world isn't a shock, he doesn't know what is.] I'm glad it went well, then.

[He nods at the textbook.] Yeah, just some light reading. Do you want to sit down? I know that there tend to be a lot of people here, so it can be overwhelming sometimes. [He moves the book to reveal a Poochyena puppy napping his lap.] Speaking of puppies, I think I was picked by one.

[togetherforever]

[Mayu clung to Mio's arm, acting a little frightened over the suggestion. Even if they've met over the gear and in person, she still feels threatened by Reid. She ends up paying not much to his offer and more attention to the Poochyena in his lap.]

What kind of puppy is that? [She's seen one of those with Cooper when Mio was showing her around but they weren't like the swarm of puppies from earlier.]

[remainingtwin]

[Mio's attention quickly turned back to her twin, laying a hand reassuringly on her arm. She doesn't make any move to sit by Reid or acknowledge the invitation, ore concerned on making Mayu comfortable.]

A Poochyena, right? [She wants to say more, but she wants to give Reid a chance to shine and hopefully endear himself somehow to Mayu.]

Can you tell us more about them, Spencer? [No accompanying 'niisan.']

[leftinbasketforfbi]

[Had Reid been a little more socially aware, he'd realize that Mayu is being pretty rude and Mio's demeanor is gradually changing. (Un)fortunately, he's Reid and doesn't notice a thing beyond that the girls are both probably just recovering from seeing each other again.]

They're Dark-types. I think I'm naming this one Derek. [He puts his book aside and picks up the little puppy in his hand, offering him to the girls to pet.] They closely resemble wolves or hyenas from our world, and are generally known to be very aggressive. They like to exhaust prey by chasing it over long distances.

This one is very friendly, though. The worst thing I've seen him do so far is chew on a squeaky toy I found. Speaking of, if you find a dog toy that doesn't squeak, I'd appreciate one. It'd probably be best for all of us.
