Lydia smiled as the conversation started to form. She had made numerous acquaintances in her time in Utsumi, but something about talking to girls her own age was just so much more calming. Her speech could be relaxed, less formal, and she felt herself almost physically loosening up from a combination of the company and the blissful environment.<br/><br/><span style="color: Gray">"Traveling with boys? Mmm well I suppose it's only natural they pay us some attention."</span>She smiled, deliberately taking that moment to stretch her arms over her head, her left arm straight up and her right bent with her hand clutching her elbow, with the side effect of very pointedly showing off her sizable bust as she did so.<span style="color: Gray">"They certainly have good reason to stare, given the company they keep."</span>Her eyes traveled across the forms of the gathered trainers.<span style="color: Gray">"They're  not wanting for a view of curves."</span>She finished with a laugh as she lowered her hands back into the water.<br/><br/>Her voice took on a somewhat more serious tone as she regarded Naomi.<br/><span style="color: Gray">"In regards to Pokemon, I don't pretend to be a philosopher or a professor. I don't think I can come close to understanding what you saw through mere secondhand accounts, and whatever it was certainly seemed...out of the ordinary to say the least. All I know about Pokemon I know as a trainer. With that said, I don't hold reverence for any Pokemon to a spiritual degree, nor do I think them lesser beasts. A Pokemon is only at its greatest with a trainer, and a trainer is of course nothing without their Pokemon. If it is something beyond human understanding, I don't really think I can call that a Pokemon, you know?"</span>She finished with a non-committal shrug.<br/><br/>Her interest was piqued once more, however, when the dratini rose out of the water with the arrival of the other Pokemon. As the serpentine creature had been underwater and hidden by the steam and its own coloring, Lydia hadn't even noticed it was there, causing her to jump slightly in surprise.<br/><br/><span style="color: Gray">"A-aha...my I didn't even see him, Tai was it? He is a rare one isn't he?"</span>She regarded the dratini curiously before Naomi's words and his previously hidden position started to push gears together in her mind.<span style="color: Gray">"Aha, stealing panties and spying on girls, he is a naughty little thing isn't he?</span>" Though she had an eyebrow raised in suspicion her smile never left her face, clearly amused more than offended.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
