A Long Awaited Reunion

[Meenah Peixes]

"I definitely noticed when I was walkin' around this plaice. Ridiculous how big the town is compared to the other one. Jesus." She shifted her attention towards the Eevee in front of the two.
"Cod, that's one bouncy fella."

[Aranea Serket]

Aranea shrugged at Meenah's previous comment before shifting her gaze to that of the Eevee as she watched the little fox pokemon bounce along. "Perhaps she's bored? I know I read when bored so perhaps she finds something in bouncing to entertain herself?" Aranea wasn't too sure, normally when they were bored and traveling the Eevee just stared at trees or ran around people- or something that wasn't bouncing from stone to stone. It was highly irregular, and in that irregularity it caught Aranea's attention as she wanted to now observe the behavior and write it down for future knowledge.

[Meenah Peixes]

Oh.. yeah that's a justification. Wow did she feel stupid now noting that point.
"Yeah, I guess that's possible. I don't reelly see the point in that though cause I mean, there's so many other better ways to octupi yourshellf. It has moves to like mess around with doesn't it? If I was a pmon I'd be playin' with all my abilities 'till the break of dawn."

[Aranea Serket]

"I'm sure she just doesn't want to wear herself out before the next round of the contest." Aranea says and looks to Meenah. "Though I suppose working on her abilities and getting her familiar with them might be a good idea. We haven't really done much with them."

[Meenah Peixes]

Now she was talking! Well, other than the obvious meaning anyway. The heiress put on a grin as wide as the Cheshire's and her eyes almost seemed to be lit. She was getting giddy inside definitely. "Whale then, what are you waiting for? I'm shore you both will have plenty of energy at the contest, so what do you say, Serket? Willin' to try out a few moves and put up a show?"
She had gotten up close and put an arm around the other's neck, and held out the other skyward, shaking it around a little to emphasize her point.

[Aranea Serket]

"Sure- Wait what?" Aranea looked to Meenah, though it proved a bit difficult with her friends arm around her neck. "What are you talking about? If you're asking for a battle Meenah I'm telling you it's not a good idea." She says simply, knowing that she wasn't the one who would come out of the battle as the victor.

[Meenah Peixes]

She almost immediately let go once Aranea talked, waving her hands furiously as a way to say no. "Oh shell no, as fun as that might be. Though I'm preeeetty sure that'd just be ending up with me nabbing your moolah out of obligatory victory protocol or some shit. Like, can't pokemon just like, do a move outside of battle? I was sort of hoping for a pre-contest show, y' know?" She then started to nudge the other's arm with her elbow, grin returning. "Eeeeeh? So, offer still stands! Yes, no? Maaaaybe so?"

[Aranea Serket]

"Well I suppose that would be alright. Shouldn't really do such things in town though so perhaps we should head to the outskirts?" Aranea said as she looked down to her Eevee before looking back to Meenah once more. "I mean if you'd really like to see some of them."

[Meenah Peixes]

"Baaaw, I'm shore the old blokes won't care too much aboat a shrimple little commotion made by a p-mon, I mean ain't this pike an everyday occurent round these parts? I'd think so if they bassically got a bunch of idiots just wading around to go jump on a buoy just wantin' to get a bite or somefin but instead gets challenged to a battle outta nowhere on a daily basis. Gonna cut a gill some slack though and just cut any debaiting and follow your lead." Pause. "...Unless you wanna keep talking but I think it's shoaltime and we should get running yo!"

[Aranea Serket]

Aranea just stared at Meenah a long moment, trying to wrap her mind around the speech- and also trying to get through some of the fish puns she didn't quite get- before gathering enough to be able to speak once more. "Quite the speech Meenah. I was actually quite interested in how fluently it went along- but instead of talking about it how about we find somewhere to get to it. The contest should be starting back up soon." Aranea motioned to one of the roads leading towards Route 7.

[Meenah Peixes]

"Woah there, gill. I can't bereef you be thinking my blabbering is anything special." Her lips then returned to a grin after the initial state of shock. "Man, you're making some kick-ass choices. Onward!" she shouted as she started dashing but then abruptly stopped, whipping her head back around. "Hey, how's in front of the contest plaice sound? Or would you rather go to some route or somefin?"

[Aranea Serket]

"The shockd expression on your face is quite new." Aranea was a bit pleased with the ability to make Meenah shocked by her reaction and followed her, not dashing just walking. "As far as the location is concerned I would prefer to not do anything so close to the contest hall. I shouldn't reveal anything that I may use in the contest itself."

[Meenah Peixes]

"Shush on that, will ya'? I mean, this is comin' from the queen of neva' being able to clam up. I'm shore even Kankri in all of his insufferableness would be shocked to hear that an' that kid has a neverending blubbermouth," she remarked jokingly with a very light tone of seriousness. She gave a thumbs up and resumed running up until right near the outside of route 8. "Whaddaya' think? This place'll do?"

[Aranea Serket]

"Actually, though I admit Kankri is indeed a chatter box in some case, alright most cases, I would find it intriguing to know how he might have reacted." Aranea followed and looked around the entrance to Route 8, making sure there weren't too many places to be hiding and taking a peek- in case other contenders decided to join them. "This seems to be a reasonable spot." She looks down to her Eevee as the little fox pokemon ran around the area, happy to not have to act all prim and proper since they were no longer in town.

[Meenah Peixes]

She gave some space by backing up despite the eevee running all around on its own a little bit away from them. With a grin and a thumbs up, she exclaimed: "Alright, 'Ranea! Let's see what the gill of yours can do!"
