Nokomis had arrived not long ago, and found their way to a sweet little restaurant amongst all the other fancy things around. Everywhere else seemed crowded, so a restaurant could be calming enough at this point. The invitation, the sudden interest in her fame, it was a little overwhelming and she wasn't sure if she really wanted to stay. They had a place in a cozy corner booth, near a window so they could look out at everything happening nearby. Noise had never been their friend and even now the business of the restaurant was annoying, it scratched at their skin and made them upset. Perhaps something to distract them would be better than focusing on all the noise at once.

*Poor Nokomis! She thought she was going to have a relaxing evening, wasn't she? The restaurant, despite seeming cozy was filled with people. With today being a really nice day, with the sun shining, despite it being winter, Tenshi found the opportunity to get out and roam the Island. What better place to find people than a crowded restaurant? Wanting to find someone to sit down with, Tenshi found a person sitting all by themselves. Tenshi viewed it as a person and so, she pulled out a chair and sat down. With a smile on her face, she looked at Nokomis and asked.*

"Are you expecting company?"
Austin
Nokomis looked over at the person, analyzing them quietly as they sat across from her. "I wasn't expecting company, no. However I feel a guest would distract me from all the other noise." 

They hummed, clasping their hands together and setting their elbows onto the table. The stars in their hair shifted as they moved, poking through the strands of their hair and standing out in a golden glory. How peculiar the sudden stranger was, out of all the places to sit why with her? There were so many people, who she deemed much more sociable than herself.
Lewis
"Great, then it is here where I'll sit."

 *Great! She flashed Nakomis a smile and decided that it should be here where she'd sit. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? I'm sure that nothing bad is going to come out of it.*

"Anyways, name's Tenshi, Tenshi Mizu! Have you heard of HurricaneOfGalar? That is me. I have a YouTube Channel that's uhm ... Interesting.", *Said Tenshi. In all honesty, her channel was a steaming pot of controversy. In any moment, she was about to get cancelled. She was short tempered and easily lost her patience, a reason as to why she had turned comments off her videos.*
Austin
"I don't watch... YouTube." Nokomis had heard of the streaming app when she was younger, but never took interest in it.

They watched the other with a blank stare, not completely interested in the energetic attitude. "A pleasure to meet you, Tenshi Mizu. My name is Nokomis Miakoda, if you care to recognize it." 

They never expected anyone to truly recognize them, especially not people who were kept up in things other than studying. Sometimes people surprised them, knowing her name or having heard of it... Even if it was a rarer occurrence.
Lewis
*Tenshi wasn't expecting Nokomis to know her but the fact that she didn't even watch YouTube? That was shocking. Her face didn't depict that but she was totally shocked.*

"Nokomis Miakoda? That's an interesting name."

*Tenshi had never heard of her. It was a rather weird name. Perhaps, she was a Gym Leader from a faraway region or a ... An Archer? Hm, interesting. Maybe they were a super famous scientist? Maybe.*

"So, what do you do for a living?"
Austin
"I'm an astrologist and scientist, world renowned according to the news." They were never one for attention, they just wanted to do what they did best. 

They set a hand on one of their pokeballs hidden under the black and gold embroidered cloak she wore. Knowing all their pokemon were there gave a little more comfort, since this stranger sort of acted just like news reporters it was anxiety giving.
Lewis
*She was into Zodiac Signs. Cool, so was Tenshi. Well, she read her zodiac sign from time to time on Astrologer.Com but didn't actually believe in it. Tenshi just read them for the fun of it.*

"Well, cool. You know, I'm a Gym Leader (a minor Division one, though).", *Said Tenshi. For that last part, she looked down and whispered. She still hadn't made it big time but it was a decent wage and people seemed to respect her title.*
Austin
Nokomis looked around, wondering if pokemon were allowed in here. "We don't participate in gym challenges, but we do battle sometimes. My pokemon are already considered strong, so there's no reason to fight." 

They had gained a bit of interest in the conversation, their expression turned to be more lively and less dead looking. "Are pokemon allowed in here, do you know?"
Lewis
"Well, are they going to destroy the restaurant? If so, then yeah, pretty much."

*Tenshi reached into her bag and took out her Togetic. It was her prized baby (she had won a Togepi egg in a festival by knocking over some bowling pins). She picked it up and hugged her. She was so warm, it instantly made her smile.*

"No one's going to tell you anything, no fear.", *Replied Tenshi, with a smile as Togetic closed her eyes.*
Austin
Nokomis let out her Obstagoon, who sat beside her and rolled its eyes at the surrounding patrons. Often it was sassy to others, but a gentle loving giant to them. "Your togetic, is it fragile in the emotion department?" 

They had met many fragile people and even pokemon, they always speculated it was from the parents or circumstances it had been born into.
Lewis
"I ... I don't know? Maybe?"

*It was rather an odd question to ask. Tenshi believed that she was but then again, she could be wrong. Togetic wasn't that strong of a fighter but Tenshi tried her best to make her feel more confident in herself.*

"I'd have to say, yes? Back when she was a Togepi, I remember she used to cry a lot. She was just like a baby.", *Said Tenshi, with a smile on her face. Togetic was the purest Pokémon there ever was.*
Austin
"Were you ever certain as to how the egg was obtained? I mean, unless you bred it yourself... That is." Nokomis eyed the other person, not wanting to jump to conclusions that they were bad to their pokemon. 

"It could just be that the species and evolutionary line of togepi are incredibly sensitive pokemon, since they are often seen caring for others in danger. However if you think yours could be exceptionally emotional, it could be hereditary or your Togetic could miss others of its kind."
Lewis
"Oh, well I won it in a fair a few years ago. Some farmer had found it and was offering it as a prize." 

*Wow, Nokomis was pretty smart. After all, she was a world renowned scientist so that was to be expected. She really hadn't thought of it like that. She really gave her food for thought there. Nokomis could see her eyes widening as she said that.*

"C-could you tell me more? This sounds super interesting.", *Said Tenshi, in a serious tone. She was all up for it to hear what Scientist Nokomis had to say.*
Austin
"You never really know if the farmer found it, or took it from the parents. Pokemon have odd ways of knowing the environment they are in has changed, even within an egg." Nokomis watched the eyes of Tenshi widen, she assumed they must be interested. Good. 

"Since you can't really trust the words of that farmer, your Togetic could have been abandoned by its parents as well. There are a whole slew of things that could be the reason for extra sensitivity."
Lewis
"I-is it my fault? Can I do anything to help? Please help, miss Nokomis."

*Tenshi was genuinely worried. She clutched Togetic to her chest. Fortunately for Tenshi though, she was worried for no reason. Nothing was wrong with Togetic, it was simply how Togepis are. Fortunately for Tenshi's sanity, all of that crying belonged to the past.*
Austin
"I don't think you should worry, I'm just saying those could be reasons for extra crying." Nokomis felt her Obstagoon lean into her, snoring rather loudly. "Your Togetic seems fine, but it may still be just as emotional as normal. I'd be more worried if you touched it and it started crying."
Lewis
"Phew, I was worried there."

*A sigh of relief and a smile came out of her. Turns out that no, Togetic wasn't as emotional as she thought. It was standard Togetic levels. Nokomis had her feeling really worried there.*

"Togetic is fine, it used to cry back when it was a Togepi but now, she rarely cries. I don't think she's cried in the last year or so.*
Austin
"Good then, she is maturing and coming to understand her emotional attachment to others." Nokomis let out a small smile, it was meek and hardly noticeable. 

They pushed their Obstagoons head slightly, earning a rather disgruntled snore from their pokemon. Nokomis sighed, knowing she could either send it back to its ball or let it sleep here.
Lewis
"Thanks for your help, Nokomis! I'll be sure to remember that!"

*Her name got called. Seemed like her order was now ready and good to go. Unfortunately for her, as she was having quite the interesting conversation with them. She got up and said her goodbyes to Nokomis.*

"Thanks Nokomis, it was quite the discussion! Appreciate your help and have to say, you're a wonderful scientist! I hope that one day we'll meet again."
Austin
Nokomis was surprised that Tenshi was leaving already, but she wouldn't object it. "I do hope so too, I enjoyed the conversation while it lasted." 

They hadn't ordered anything, so they never had to worry about getting up to go get food or drinks. Restaurant food wasnt exactly their first pick anyways, they preferred cooking.
