Mary
Nodding and walking, he and his Dewott went to the hot springs. He didn't mind the humidity of the area, it felt comforting in a way, like a relaxing bath or a soft blanket.

"Here we are.."

The Dewott let go of it's trainer's hand and ran into the water, squeaking contently as it swam about. Blake sat by the edge, occasionally getting splashed but not minding it.
Marie
Unlike Blake, the humidity really got to him, since he was wearing a sweater. He sat a little bit away from the edge, fanning himself and panting quietly, he's only been to a hot-spring once with Selene a few months ago, but he doesn't remember it being this hot and humid, then again, he wasn't wearing his sweater that time. Lycanroc wasn't a fan of water so he just stayed next to Gladion, the humidity not bothering him that much. Umbreon however, jumped right in and swam around happily.
Mary
The brunette looked over at Gladion, part of his slightly messy dark brown hair matted against his face from the water. He took off his blue jacket, folding it and putting it onto his lap.

"If it's too hot for you, you can take your sweater off. If you don't like taking it off then you can put my jacket on afterwards, it's much thinner."

He placed it near them and turned away, the Dewott swimming around in circled and squeaking in a content sort of way.
Consuelo
Gladion didn't think twice, when Blake looked away he quickly took off his sweater and put on the jacket. He felt a bit cooled down now and he sighed in relief. "Thank you.." He said, and relaxed abit more.


Well, that relaxation would soon be over. Walking over to the Hot-Spring, was Selene. When she got there, she saw that there were two other people there... One of them she recognized.."Gladion!?" She yelled and ran over to him and hugged him. "Haiii~!"


Gladion flinched when he heard his name, and when he turned in the direction of the sound, all of a sudden there were arms wrapped around him. It took him a moment to process that it was Selene! He hugged her aswell and patted her back, and just gave a simple, "Hey."
Mary
"No problem."

He said simply, patting his Dewott's head as it swam over to him. 
However, he had no reaction to Selene's sudden appearance, he just stayed looking out into the water, calm and quiet.

"You must be the lady of the moon, Selene, correct?"

Blake glanced over at them for a moment, his mopping wet Dewott sitting beside him and then laying across his lap.

"You're more optimistic than the other versions I've seen, but it's not an unwelcome change."
Consuelo
She looked over to the boy. He had this *Vibe*, and it was a vibe she didn't want, but she kept her cheerful smile. "Yep~! That's me!" She said with her regular cheerful voice. She tilted her head at his next comment. "Other versions?" She then gasped and scooted up next to him. "Are you from the future?" She asked him, her eyes sparkling.


Gladion put a hand to his face, abit embarrassed but also glad that Selene was here, he just let her do her thing and he laid down and stared at the sky.
Mary
The brunette stroked his Dewott gently, the water type giving a soft purring-ish as it was pet and rolling onto it's back so that it's belly could be rubbed.

"No, I simply know things."

This 'new' Selene sure was interesting, very optimistic and cheerful, the complete opposite to the ones he had met before. Not that he nessicarily minded, it was always good to try new things after all.

"Although technically you could say I'm from the past and the future, at the same time. It's complicated."
Consuelo
"I dunno what that means! But that's really cool!" She giggled and gave him a smile, before turning to Gladion. "So~ How's it going with you, Kahuna~?" She moved abit closer infront of him and laid on her stomach, dangling her feet in the air.


Gladion looked down at her and patted her on the head. "I've been fine. This island is rather nice, I don't have people swarming me on the streets. Heh." He chuckled slightly and retracted his hand from her head.


She wasn't even listening anymore, she was just enjoying the headpats, but when he started to pull away, she grabbed his hand and made him continue petting her.
Mary
"It isn't quite what you'd expect, but I appreciate the attempt."

Blake tilted his head at the two of them and what they were doing, it seemed a little odd to him but it was clear that those two were close, so he didn't question it.
He subconsciously started to pat his own head, wondering what the meaning of doing it was.

The Dewott looked over at the two Alolans, thinking about going to them but ending up just going back into the water and swimming around aimlessly once more.
Hector
She looked over at Blake and saw him patting his own head. She then sat up and scooted back over to him. "Silly Psyduck! Headpats have to be given by someone else!" She gently grabbed his hand and moved it off of his head and reached up and started petting his head. "Like this!"
Mary
"Head... Pats?.."

He tensed up when Selene started patting his head, freezing up in place and 'bluescreening' again as he tried to comprehend the physical contact. The Dewott poked it's head out of the spring, squirting water at Blake's face to snap him out of the bluescreening moment.

"Uhm... This is odd... It's like what Gladion did... Is this a form of attacking someone?"
Consuelo
She tilted her head and put her hand down. "Odd? Attacking? Headpats are supposed to feel good and make you smile! C'mon! Where's that smile?"

Gladion moved next to the two of them and turned to Selene. "He can't smile, Selene."

The Moon Lady gasped. "Can't SMILE!? How!?" She turned back to the boy, pouting. "Everybody can smile! You just gotta... Make it happen! C'mon! Smile~! Like this!" She smiled brightly, and Gladion smiled a bit aswell, just from seeing her smile.
Mary
"It's because I lack the comprehension of emotions, including 'happiness'"

Blake said calmly, looking over at his Dewott which had came out if the water and instead was just curled up next to him, sleepign soundly.

Looking back at Selene and Gladion whilst tilting his head to one side, he pushed his cheeks up a little to try and make a closed-mouth smile, not sure if he was doing it right and he seemed kind of uncomfortable.
Consuelo
Gladion shook his head and switched spots with Selene so that he was now sitting infront of Blake. "You're doing well." He then pushed his cheeks up to make a smile on his own face. ~~*Cough* Like marnie *Cough*~~

Selene clapped at Gladion's attempt. "First I was teaching you how to smile, and now you're teaching others~! Oh! How you've grown!" Her eyes sparkled while watching him.

Gladion rolled his eyes and put his hands down. "Now you try."
Mary
"Ah... Uhm... Alright.."

The brunette nodded a little and did it again, looking at Gladion with a sort of "Am I doing this right?" Look before moving his hands away from his mouth.

"My apologies, this just feels very... Odd.."

He then looked over at his sleeping Dewott, patting it's head gently despite it then shuffling about in it's sleep. He seemed calmer when interacting with his Pokémon, mor relaxed and natural with it.

"Pat pat..."
