"E-eh?" ``James stuttered, a little flustered by how she called him cute.`` "Aheh, you don't mean that right?" ``James said as he trailed behind her a small bit.`` *[I- uhh... Me? Cute?]* ``James.Exe has crashed. For the most part, he hadn't really had anyone call him cute outside of his mom, so this felt a bit weird ot him. And it was a girl calling him cute.`` *[Is this a joke or?]* ``He questioned in his mind.``
Wayne
*Selene would nervously laugh. Of course she meant it, why wouldn't she?* "Of course I mean it, w-why would I lie?" *Why was he questioning her? Did he think she was a liar? What would give him that impression? She had been nothing but truthful to him, always being honest to him.*
Dorothy
"Oh, well uh... I haven't really been called cute by a girl before. So uh... Ah nevermind. You're too nice to lie." ``He said, complimenting her. He still ha da bit of a blush on his face from the compliment.`` "But thanks for the compliment, you look nice in yours too." ``He said, being honest towards her, feeling a bit bad he doubted her.``
Wayne
*Selene would smile and spin around, overjoyed by James' compliment. It sure felt nice to be.* "Yeah, thanks." *Selene would take out her Rotom Phone, the one she had gotten as a birthday gift. She wanted to snap a picture to commemorate this moment, the one with James, her new friend.* "My mum got this Rotom Phone as a gift and I want to snap a lot of pictures with it. This one's going to be the first one."
Dorothy
"Eh?" ``James said listening, a Rotom Phone? Of course, with Rotoms not being available in Hoenn, he was unfamiliar with the Pokémon, but he went along with it.`` "Oh yeah! I don't mind! Let's take the photo." ``James got next to her and smiled, holding up peace signs with his hands.`` "Heh." ``He had quite a grin on his face, seems he was generally happy to spend time with his friend.``
Wayne
*Selene would wrap one of her arms around James and with the other she'd hold the Phone, trying to see how she'd look. Decidueye would pop out of his Pokeball, always dying to have his picture. He and Selene were regulars at the Alolan Photo Club. Selene would snap the picture. She'd grab the picture and look at it with a smile on her face.* "Aren't we just the cutest? We should DEFIΝΙTELY upload it to the Global Chat. We're going to get so many good comments."
Dorothy
"Heh, yeah. We are..." ``James said, a bit satisfied with how the photo came out.`` "Yeah, we should. I don't really mind. I feel like we might get good comments, probably not many bad ones. Hopefully none at all actually. But thanks for the photo Selene, make sure to send me it, I need to show my friends back home who you are. I told 'em a bit about you." ``He admitted, still having a bit of a grin.``
Wayne
"Hopefully you said something positive, I hope.", *Said Selene, letting out a nervous smile. She tried to make it look like she was joking but in all truth, she deeply cared what others thought about her.* "And don't worry, I'm going to send first thing when I arrive home, okay?" *Selene would smile and give him a thumbs up.*
Dorothy
"Yeah I did, dunno why you think I would say anything bad about you, you're nothing but pure good." ``James said.`` "Marie said she'd like to meet you in person one day and Morgan said he'd at least like to see you like maybe on a video call or something. They're nice people, which is why they're my best friends." ``He told her, being fully honest with his words, and Selene could tell he was as well.``
Wayne
"N-no, I didn't mean it like that, y-you know, i-it's a figure of speech, m-my mom, yeah, my mom says it a lot." *Selene didn't want James to get the wrong idea, whatever that idea could be.* "Oh, really? Marie and Morgan, huh? They sound cool!" *Selene was interested to meet James' friends. Who could potentially be friends with him?*
Dorothy
"They are cool, mostly. I think when I got here they started on their Journey. I think they told me they just beat the 3rd Gym. They don't have big teams, but they've got an alright setup, I'd say. I've only seen two of their Pokemon, Marie has an Aron and Morgan has a Mudkip. The Aron's really small, it fits almost in her palm perfectly. That's a bit weird to say the least." ``He said as he told Selene about his friends. They seemed alright from what he told her.``
Wayne
"Oh, that's cool. Me and my friends are, I don't know how to describe them." *Selene would shrug her shoulders, not knowing what to say.* "Hau and Elio are pretty chil, Hau's a jokester, makes me laugh a lot." *Selene woud snicker, remembering the times Hau had fooled her.* "Gladion's REALLY cool, like REALLY, REALLY cool although a bit edgy and Lillie's THE best."
Dorothy
"Oh, neat. I'm sure I'd like to meet them one day. Well maybe except that Gladion guy, you said he was a bit edgy, after all. But I could probably manage." ``He told Selene.`` "No offence to your friend, by the way." ``He said, feeling a bit bad about what he said now.``
Wayne
"He's SUUUUUPER cool, you HAVE to meet him. I don't know why, he just ... Is, you know? Like how you are so cool without trying." *Selene would smile, paying him a compliment, hoping it would boost his self confidence. She knew better than anyone that getting a compliment was a magical feeling. She'd pat his head and smile.* "Comfy."
Dorothy
"M-me?" ``He questioned.`` "I- uh-" ``He became a bit flustered again once she pat his head.`` "Uh, thanks? I uh- don't really try?" ``James didn't know what he could say at this. This was a bit awkward for him, after all. That blush that had disappeared on his face re-emerged again. He wasn't really used to this sort of attention.``
Wayne
"Yeah, duh. You're a Gym Leader, how cool even is that?" *Selene would continue patting his head. His hair was so comfortable. Selene would look so good with his hair. Selene would make a joke to lighten up the mood.* "Hey, hey, hey James, want to change haircuts? Yours is SO cool." *Selene would giggle, covering her mouth with her hand.*
Dorothy
"No, of course not. Like you said, it's cool. I only get it cut if it gets really long though, though that doesn't happen too much with how long it already is," ``He told Selene, explaining most stuff. He just kind of just stood there as she pat. It felt weird being treated like this. It felt nice but also weird. He kind of felt like a Skitty at this moment, or any cat Pokémon really.``
