*"Hm."* The Latios said calmly. *"Now that's a rare compliment. Usually I get a 'fierce' or 'intimidating.'"* His eyes were locked on Shauntal in a way that was, quite understandably, intimidating. He had no malice towards her, it was simply his default expression for some reason.

"Uhh... He does mean that as a thank you, by the way." Zephraxe added in quickly. Kórvem always chose his words carefully, and often it wasn't entirely clear what he meant. He purposefully came off as passive aggressive or cryptic. 

Kórvem looked at Zeph, understanding why his friend clarified his words. *"... Indeed. In any case, Zephraxe, we should go to the mansion soon."* 

"Oh, uh... Right." Zephraxe glanced back at Shauntal. "Have you already been there? The mansion?"
Jerome
"Goodness— ahem. My apologies." *She looked between the Latios and its trainer.* "Well, you certainly do appear to be fierce; no ordinary Pokémon could make such an explosive sound with just their movements. You're most definitely very strong." *She allowed Kórvem to speak, nodding to approve to what Zephraxe had asked her.* "Oh, yes. I have been there. It's quite expansive. I even have my own room prepared for me, which I did not expect in the slightest."
William
"Your own room?" Zephraxe echoed, raising his eyebrows slightly. "I intended on finding a place to camp out, but... I suppose I can see how much space I'll have if I stay in the mansion." He thought out loud. He did see use in staying in the mansion, but he could definitely manage using both a room in the mansion and a camp. He paused for a brief moment and decided he should get his lodging arrangements set up now, since it might take awhile and it was getting late in the day. "I should probably go see to getting settled in then."

*"We shall."* Kórvem said. He silently hoped that there would be a balcony with doors he could exit and enter the room with.
Jerome
"Yes, as far as I'm aware, everyone I've seen also has their own designated room, so I suppose you can feel free to venture off and discover what yours is like, assuming you also have one." *The author nodded to herself.* "I believe I should be heading back as well. This experience has given my mind an overflow of ideas, and I don't want to waste a single one! Thank you so much!" *She decided to walk off, jotting down notes as she walked.*
William
"No problem, I'm sure we'll see each other later. See ya!" Zeph called out as Shauntal walked off, absorbed in her note taking. He turned to Kórvem and gave the Latios a smile. "Shall we?"

Kórvem nodded. *"We shall."* He responded, becoming invisible once again. 

Zephraxe took a deep breath before turning to head off to the mansion.
