Susan eyed the girl when she saw the pursed lips, knowing she had crossed a line. That was her problem, at least with individuals. In a group she's be shy but alone she felt comfortable enough to say whatever came to mind. Susan had learned quite early on her journey that what came to mind wasn't always appropriate. She listens to the girls plight, feeling a little sympathy and a lot of surprise, but bit her tongue about trying to question the girls troubles. It seemed like being a pokemon nerd would help, but without experience perhaps the girl lacked confidence? Susan thought that, but thought herself wise for not saying that, and instead chose to wave back to the old woman who was providing lodging to Susan.<br/><br/><span style="color: orange">"Eleyna... if I stick my foot in my mouth here, go right ahead and ignore it. Part of why I suck with people is being shy but the other part is being blunt. I'll say what I think and I don't bother censoring myself cause I've never had to before."</span>Susan stopped short of actually going back toward the old woman, instead reaching toward the pokeballs on her hip. In a moment and two flashes of light she called out both Stumpy and Sparky, who seemed surprised about being out of their balls so early after being recalled. Despite their surprise they calmly waited, seeing that Susan was busy talking to someone.<span style="color: orange">"If you want help, I don't mind offering it. We can talk tonight if nice lady letting me stay with her lets you join me in the room. I think you're nice, and I probably owe you at least a few tips for whatever I said to annoy you a few minutes ago. If not, that's your choice too, but it doesn't have to be a one way street either. I've got a lot of practical experience but very little book knowledge. Sounds like you've got the opposite. We work together, I learn, you learn."</span><br/><br/>She kneels down and starts petting the small dog like pokemon, while Stumpy floated over to her shoulder.<span style="color: orange">"Think about it, maybe? I've got a promise to keep so I'll see you tonight. Remember to tell her I offered to share, though I think she'd put you up no matter what."</span>Susan offers the older woman a wave, then Eleyna a respectful nod, then turns toward those at work, particularly those in the field. She'd try to get work not only for herself bout her Houndour and Phantump as well, saying that it would be good excersise and training for them.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
