Mark was starting to get annoyed with her, and he had worked with incomparable divas before, not to mention she looked like she was running away from something, he had seen what she could be like, unprompted, it's as if she is only nice when she's sure she can get away with it and when you approach ehr with gratitude or acknowledgement she backpedals as hard as she possibly can. she was plain impossible at times... especially when it came to figuring her out. he sighed as he kept pace, just because she didn't care didn't mean he, or lauren for that matter don't. Then the yelling started and Mark turned back to see firis convulsing in what looked to be immense pain. his earfins had also caught what Sarah said. "Evolving? wait that's what it's like for hybrids?" he barely had time to look shocked when sarah passed by them, literally blazing a trail to Torinta Town, that was when they all started running, himself being a fair bit faster than the average person, not enough to keep pace with a sprinting fire type hybrid, but he'd arrive shortly after they had taken Firis in, even if the hoodie had fallen from his head in the process.<br/>"Sarah... is... no, wrong question, are you okay?" he didn't just ask in case she had hurt herself with the panicked action but also because he recognized the looks from the patrons, quietly already checking if he should get a thunderwave ready.<br/><br/>Toni had smiled at Firis kindness, but then only gotten confused when the girl dropped and convulsed in pain, it had only gotten weirder when Sarah took off with a running start, burning the ground in her wake. "what in Arceus' name... wha... what..." Her brain itched to figure this whole thing out but her action for now was to run with the others, first and foremost was Firis, who needed help, and then, by moltres' hot temper, she'd have a few questions to ask. She had an inkling of course, stories travel, particularly those of humans that look like pokemon and can do things like pokemon, but she had always thought those were stories. if Firis was such a hybrid, and in the middle of evolving... oh dear, the pain would be incredible, fennekin and braixen were quite different in size, and her bones rearranging to match would tear her up inside. she blinked the tears that shefelt at the mere thought away and tried to keep up. as it was however she was a bit slower than the others and fell behind barely keeping up with joker through all this. "You... huff... hah... don't seem nearly as... panicked... as the others..."
