Claudia had followed Lance all the way to the room, not saying more words on the way there. Just admitting that she had never been Tamed was ashaming all in itself as well as a bit unbelievable. After all... as if he would believe that...<br/><br/>... huh?<br/><br/>As they stopped by the entrance of their room, he suddenly made her an offer. Her ears rose up and she stood there, staring at him, not saying a word and then, after a long while, her ears dropped as her expression turned to a mix of hope and disbelief.<br/><br/>"You... you're serious? I mean... you really want to do it? You would really do it... with me?"<br/><br/>She couldn't believe this! Did she hear that right? Even with her being a Pia, she was still cute enough for someone to want to Tame her?... and that coming from someone who is truly not bad looking at all?... and well, Lance did call her cute, which she liked quite a bit more than the screams of terror most Tamers gave her when learning of her being a Pia.<br/><br/>Sure, she probably just imagined it all... but well, if it's true...<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Good! Looks like she'll be able to ditch him relatively easily!... although the situation isn't ideal either.<br/><br/>There was a group of Pokegirls among which she would be able to blend easily but the local nurse, whom she assumed was a Nurse Joy, didn't look busy enough not to notice her either. Then, there was the fact that she would probably notice her going deeper into the center. Then, there was this other group... but on another hand, it was a bit too small and she wouldn't blend well enough.<br/><br/>Hmmm... what to do...<br/><br/>Oh yes! She got it!<br/><br/>She approached the Pokegirls near the presumed Nurse Joy. Hopefully, she'll seem like yet one more Pokegirl waiting for her Tamer and those Tamers over there will be too busy talking to each others to notice. If the nurse ask her why she's there, she'll simply make an excuse about waiting for her Tamer. Feigning stupidity and ignorance will probably help her sell her story in case she asks her for details.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Elysia's smile faded a bit as he spoke although not enough for her pose to stop being adorable... mostly because she couldn't believe what she was hearing and that it was taking her much time to actually admit that what she was hearing wasn't a fruit of her imagination.<br/><br/>And when he was finally into that other room and that reality slammed in, mixed feelings came into her heart.<br/><br/>On one hand, that was a relief. FINALLY, she won't have to whore herself out! For once, someone who won't grope her breasts and lick at her private parts mercilessly whenever she say yes or no!<br/><br/>... but on another hand, there was his expression. She was not as oblivious as people said she were. Sure, she was left annoyed and clueless at most attempts at alluring her... but she could tell that this "human" wasn't as adamant and unnaffected as it tried to make her believe... and well, Earnest was the only person she had a decent conversation since... well... ever.<br/><br/>And well, his expression had also weirded her out. It was so... so... so much like hers. So weird, conflicted, betraying attraction and yet... something else too. And well, she admit that there is something... different about Earnest. Maybe it's because that Earnest is a "human" but well... there's something different about him compared to all those Pokegirls she lived with back in the forest.<br/><br/>... oh well. Not like it will do anything, really. At the end of the day, she's still alone and surrounded by idiots so really, who cares? One more or one less weirdo won't make a difference!
