Log:

[Was she late? Maybe, possibly. "Friday, by noon" Tobias had said. He would Fly here, to the Pokemon center, and they would finally meet in person. After talking to so many people through her pokegear in the last week, she would take it as a pleasant and much-needed change of pace.

She stepped through the double sliding doors - those still freaked her out a week later. Life was strange and new here, but at least she knew where the comfy seats were, perfect for waiting in.. if she didn't fall asleep in the process. But that was unlikely in her current mood. Was she nervous? Maybe a little bit. Being as it was, meeting Tobias at all came about by a prank by her Espurr, Bright. Bright was, thankfully, back at the inn, Rakka just had two Pokemon waiting with her right now.

A snugly Togepi sitting contently in her lap, and a Pidove perching on her head, keeping an eye on the door when his trainer was not.]

[She quickly answers his question with another shake of the head. Hopefully it doesn't look too frantic.]

...Mm. [She frowns uncertainly.] I guess it's not the strangest thing I've seen, either. [or done] I guess if we're being honest.

[wing_attack]

I... yeah. There's not a lot that can surprise me anymore. My life's been pretty weird for the last four years, including here, so... you can tell me the weird things if you want.

[charcoalfeather]

...

[If she wants...]

Mm, why don't we find someplace to sit down first?

[wing_attack]

Okay.

[It's not too far to get to the cafe. Thankfully Violet isn't too busy of a town that they have to wait for a table.]

[charcoalfeather]

[Rakka sits herself down carefully enough, letting Kuu sit in her lap for a few moments until he too is recalled into his pokeball. He'd done his service for the day, now he could nap.]

... Uh...

[wing_attack]

Hm?

[He hands Rakka a menu, looking at her a little curiously.]

Is something wrong?

[charcoalfeather]

Uh, n-nothing! Everything's fine!

[And she'll just bury her face in that menu. Thank you, tobias.]

[wing_attack]

[He recognizes the 'I am panicked' social signal well enough, and just lets her decide on food in peace. ... Maybe just a sandwich for him. Sandwiches are easy enough to eat on a first friend date meeting without looking stupid, right?]
