(quick)<br/><br/><span style="color: blue">Really? Thunderstone and Waterstone?</span>Eleyna listened to Naomi's recounting, quickly diving into her pack and withdrawing the folded map and a pencil. She sat down in the sand, using her leg to write on and marking a tiny X on the lake and "WstoneTstone" beside it. The discovery was a valuable piece of information.<br/><br/>She looked up from the map at Steven for a moment then back down, examining the marked settlements. There was of course Saisho, from which they came - and remained the closest, though in its state, there would be no aid for them there. The next nearest was north and east from the lake, marked<i>Utsumi</i>. It sat between a long, slender bay and the mountains that ran the valley's edge to their east where it curved along the bay.<br/><br/><span style="color: blue">Uhm... the next closest town is a bit north... sort of along the mountain range.</span>She turned the map around and pointed it out to Steven. Though, as she pointed it out, she felt a dash disheartened. They had just begun and already there was talk of towns.

Just say, 'We'd like to battle you, to see if we're strong yet... and if we are, and your not as strong, then we can help you to get stronger.'</span>She looked around the camp, not sure if anyone particularly wanted to hear anything she had to say. She, after all, was the only one of them that wasn't yet a real trainer.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
