<b><span style="font-size: 15px">Round Primary</span></b><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: blue">Alright, you're turn.</span>Eleyna announced, and went to work giving Naomi a hand getting clean.<br/><br/>Naomi's continued analysis of the recent events maintained Eleyna's attention. She in all honesty hadn't given too much thought to any of it. She'd been so concerned with notions of being a trainer that she hadn't spent any time looking at the world around her.<br/><br/><span style="color: blue">But... those trainers on the mountain, they weren't young or ignorant. I mean, you saw what they did to that Suicune that attacked Saisho.</span>She responded in neglect of their new companion's knowledge of prior events.<span style="color: blue">I mean.... well... you know. Professor Pine -</span>Eleyan's hands paused.<i>Professor Pine</i>! He had sent them out to find out where the Suicune came from, had been in contact with them!<br/><br/><span style="color: blue">Wait, do you think the Professor knows something? God, do you think he knows what happened to them? Naomi you were talking to him, right? I mean, like taking video or whatever at the lake?</span><br/><br/>Eleyna, determining her job to be done with Naomi set her stool back where it had been and poured the rest of her bucket over herself before sliding into the hot spring waters little by little, stifling a long sigh at her tense muscles being enveloped in hot water. She sank down to her nose and blew bubble with half lidded eyes before closing them and dunking down beneath the surface. She popped back up with a splash Then flopped backwards and just floating with only her face above the water for a minute.<span style="color: blue">Thaaat's... oh yes.</span><br/><br/>The wooden partition between the men's and women's sides made it possible to hear what was going on in the other's area.<br/><br/><br/>***<br/><br/><br/>The older woman in her late 40's that Susan approached, Nakawa Yuriko, had been the one who had been so kind as to offer the young trainer a room in her home. She had her sleeves tied back and a yellowing bandanna at her forehead to keep her hair from her face. She was directing the work of two of the men when Susan approached. She looked pleased to see Susan, knowing that with the setback caused by the arrival of their newest visitors.<br/><br/>She nodded in resignation that her help would be delayed just a short time longer and directed her toward the path to the Onsen.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
