Lydia grinned as she caught sight of Jake and Aisha dancing. She was surprised she hadn't seen them considering that they were both highly visible, Aisha in particular. Lydia might have had her difficulties but it was a minor miracle that Aisha hadn't yet simply bounced out of her clothes entirely. She was a tad envious of the girl for so easily captivating Jake's attention, but she could hardly blame him. It was hard for her to even look away from Aisha's...exuberance.<br/><br/><span style="color: gray">"Well, they appear to be having fun."</span>She smiled as she tore her eyes away to once again look at Brollem and Eleyna. With deft fingers she grabbed some of the Yakitori from the nearby table as she watched Eleyna clutched the cup of sake in her hands. This ought to prove interesting.<br/><br/><span style="color: gray">"Oh it was no trouble, a bit of an adventure really."</span>Lydia smiled as Brollem thanked her for her help earlier<span style="color: gray">"It is true the woods were very... strange. However, the company was excellent the whole way through." </span>She casually waved off his thanks, even as the same unfamiliar feeling of creeping dread tugged at the corners of her mind. She shoved some of the chicken into her mouth, the rich taste distracting her from her thoughts.<br/><br/>She was glad to take the cup of sake that Brollem offered her, joining him in the toast he made before draining it in a single quick gulp, enjoying the feeling of its pleasant burn down her throat as she smiled at Eleyna's poor reaction, patting her sympathetically on the back.<br/><br/><span style="color: gray">"It is alright.</span>" She said comfortingly<span style="color: gray">"Drinking is like anything else. It needs training."</span><br/><br/>She paused from her chicken as she heard Brollem's question. It wasn't an unusual thing to ask, but it did take her a moment to consider what she wanted to say. She hungrily swallowed the last of what she had in her mouth before speaking.<br/><br/><span style="color: gray">"I suppose I will be going deeper into the wilds of the island." </span>She shrugged.<span style="color: gray">"This island is a place for a trainer to test themselves and their skills. I have had a good time here, but one cannot push themselves in such comfort, and I  did not come for an easy time."</span>She paused to allow herself a brief chuckle.<br/><span style="color: gray">"Though company is quite nice as well. I made the first part of my journey alone, but I was wondering perhaps if Eleyna and her friends would not mind a little extra company."</span>She offered a warm smile to Eleyna. She certainly did hope the group might bring her along with them. The initial leg of her journey had not been easy, and being caught in the wilderness alone if disaster struck could have lethal consequences. Besides, they were pleasant people from what she could tell.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
