Mark just decided to wait while Mark was busy fitting Ashley with a new pair of legs. Asking for Drama... technically he was doing exactly that by going on this whole adventure, he was looking to experience the world after all, particularly the parts of it that a playwright could work with. On that regard Ashley's story was honestly quite interesting, she was overcoming a physical problem in order to do something most kids take for granted, or for that matter Mike who clearly was already quite experienced, who had already surrounded himself with such able companions for his journey but in order to challenge himself started over once more... and then there was Kiki. She was enigmatic and withdrawn, she had clearly warned him about being anywhere near her, brushed him off when he offered a hand... no what was he thinking, she would most certainly not appreciate him attempting to figure her out. she needed no journalist to write her biography, she needed friends... he hoped Popplio could at least raise her spirits a bit.<br/><br/>Popplio meanwhile was confused, was she NOT the one Mark wanted him to cheer up? this was strange, she fit the description quite well. He made a fuss as Blissey just picked him up but when he saw Litten was with the fairy type he calmed down. Being carried over his smile nearly slipped when he saw Kiki, and the general feeling of unhappiness that hung around her and quickly got to work, hopping out of Blissey's arms and doing a number of acrobatic tricks in hopes of cheering her up, including a finstand on Litten's head, much to the grumpy cat's irritation.
