[the skitty makes another pleased sound as she receives the pets that are, quite frankly, her due; once that's done, she winds her way around chang geng's ankles once more before trotting back to jiuqing's side. her vulpix, meanwhile, allows the growlithe to sniff before batting one paw at his side. bap.

maybe this would be easier if she was watching the pokemon instead of watching him. but her gaze doesn't leave his face, not until he looks up and catches her staring; that's her cue to avert her eyes, feeling a little foolish.

surely he would have called her by name had he recognized her, wouldn't he? she really shouldn't get her hopes up.

(they're so similar in so many ways. today, right here, it's a detriment - because they're each guarded, too guarded to allow themselves to hope in a way that would clear this misunderstanding up immediately. they've both learned the lesson of how dangerous hope can be a little too well.)

she lowers her head in apology, her heart aching.]

Ah, no... My apologies, sir. I shouldn't have stared.

[foolish. she knows well enough by now that everyone she's meeting here has lived in hisui all along.]

But what a coincidence - I was headed south myself, once I'd finished gathering these herbs. Perhaps it might be safer to go together...? I'm just about done.
