Risu watched Nori fidget he liked this guy already he reminded him of his brother. A bit more awkward sure, but Risu was a strange guy himself. It seemed like Nori was more of a planner like himslef and his brother. Hearing the suggestion to try another spot would be a good thing. It was still strange to him that they locked them in here for no reason. Was that food really that special?
"Well until then tell me a bit about yourself Nori." He looked at the guy wearing his mask it seemed like there was something behind his mask. "Do you wear glasses?" He wasn't sure but it was worth it to make conversation right?

i wake at the first cringe of morning
and my heart's already sinned
It seemed his compliment had done its job as he watched the other blonde male’s cheeks become red and his eyes widen at his words. A slow smirk curled Yami’s lips and he contained a purr of satisfaction at the sight, pleased that he’d gotten the reaction he was hoping for. Then Usa’s gaze dropped and Yami had to hold back a chuckle as once more the young man had trouble holding his gaze once more. It really was rather endearing to watch, especially when the young man thanked him as he played with his bangs and Yami hummed lightly. “My pleasure~” His silvery grey eyes glanced at the other blonde at the other table again and smiled in mild amusement, dipping his head in a thoughtful nod as he spoke up. “True, he was rather endearing but…” His gaze switched back to Usa as another slow smile curled his lips and he continued speaking, “…There’s something charming about you in a different sense.” It was all honesty, Yami never lied or said empty words that he didn’t mean even when he flirted. The young man in front of him had a charm that had immediately caught Yami’s wandering attention and now he had it.
He gave Usa a curious look when his blush finally faded some and he was leaning in almost conspiratorially. At his words Yami blinked in surprise before a bark of laughter fell from his lips, the corners of his eyes crinkling when he stopped and grinned. He leaned forward and mimicked the other male’s position as he murmured, “Don’t tell anyone but…I’m relieved to hear that I am.” His eyes twinkled mischievously as he rested his chin back in his hand as he watched the other, a small bit of warmth curling in his chest. The other male seemed to be relaxing around him, more able to meet his eyes and it was a relief. “You seem like you’re finally relaxing…I’m glad. I was worried I was making you nervous.” His murmur was soft and gentle, just for Usa’s ears as he studied the other male closely for any signs he was making him look away again. A small smile tilted the edges of his lips but didn’t totally make it on there as he watched Usa.
Yami blinked what he heard Usa’s answer to his question, a little surprised. He’d never met a Ranger before, had only heard about them in passing yet had always been curious. The brunette let out a low impressed whistle and grinned warmly as he spoke, “I’m impressed. I hear its not so easy becoming a Ranger yet here I am sitting across from one.” His smile turned more playful as he tucked a stray lock of hair behind his ear as it kept falling into his eyes. “Today must be my lucky night. Cute and a Ranger?” When the questions were suddenly turned to him he gave a thoughtful hum, looking away to absently study the room as he tried to figure out what he wanted to share before looking back with a slight smile. “Alright then, one word huh? I guess…Loyal.” His lip quirked up a little more as he looked down at the table, a hand combing through his bangs before dropping it as he continued to speak. “Definitely could describe myself as loyal, granted I don’t have many people who I can be loyal too since I’m pretty new to Hoenn.” The reminder that for the past weeks or so he’d been alone, meeting the bare minimum of people and having to travel by himself. It made him a little homesick at times and briefly a small sad smile curled his lips before he brushed the feeling off.
“As in terms of myself though, I’m aiming to be a Coordinator. My mom got me interested in it when she showed me pictures of what it was like for her and…guess I kind of got hooked.” He blew a stray strand of hair from his face, giving the other a considering look before he spoke up once more. “You know…Just in case…I wouldn’t mind staying in contact…” His eyes glanced at the time, noticing that at some point they’d be trading partners again and he didn’t exactly want to completely loose contact with the blonde across from him. Looking back at Usa he said, “We should trade IM names so that we can still talk over the pokenav…”
With every word that his date spoke, Usa's smile grew wider. With every compliment he received, his cheeks turned a brighter shade of red. This was a pleasant experience for Usa, and as the minuted passed, he became more comfortable and more relaxed.
I was nervous, but it passed. He thought of saying this to Yami, but he was embarrassed to admit that he was. Why was I so nervous? The people are nice...I just have to be myself. He tilted his head to the side as he raised his gaze to the ceiling. Tapping his fingers against his chin, he let out a subtle "mmm". "I suppose it is difficult. I'm only a cadet. One has to fulfil a number of requirements before moving up in ranks". He smiled as he carefully rested his hands on the edge of the table. Being called cute, caught him a little off guard. If making him blush was a game of baseball, Yami would be hitting a home run right now. "Being a cadet is easy", he muttered. The words seemed to be slightly stifled by how flustered he was. "An elite", he continued, "well, that's where things start to get interesting". He flashed an even wider smile and then dropped his gaze to the table, returning to his earlier habit of drawing patterns with his fingers.
His gaze returned to Yami much faster than before however. Unlike before, he wasn't unsure or nervous. He just didn't know how to respond to the compliments he was being given. His eyes widened as his lips slowly separated to reveal a huge grin. "Loyal is good", he replied in a tone that matched the excitement that his facial expression showed. He paused for a moment to think about what to say next...and then he continued: "Loyal makes for a good friend or life partner".
He smiled as he slowly eased back into his seat. As Yami began to open up more about himself, Usa could feel himself get more excited - excited that he had met the fierce but cool looking coordinator. He quickly reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his Pokenav. "Yes, of course", he replied and the proceeded to give Yami his IM information.

natalie leapt into the next bubble of conversation swiftly, attention now focused on her tyrunt. talking about mike certainly helped to take her mind off the other things, namely cedric calling her pretty and all that. it was a welcome change of topic.
now, she had referred to mike as "a big softie", but it wasn't necessarily something that she could qualify so easily. it was something said in reference to the fact that most tyrunt were carnivorous predators. mike displayed none of those tendencies just yet, unless you counted him trying to gnaw julius' ankle off. "w-wait!" she called out, not wanting a repeat of what happened in rustboro.
"u-uh, let him sniff you first. he'll try and snap your fingers off," she warned. mike looked at nat, who mouthed the word "friend" to him. he sniffed at cedric's hand and slipped his snout under the man's palm. "yeah, that's good. i think he likes you."
was he supposed to go get this dating food himself? risu was technically supposed to be his date and he didn't know the first thing about dating. did he need to get up and get it for him? that's usually what people did who were dating right? well they weren't dating either...just meeting and getting to know each other. this couldn't even be counted as a date even if the word 'dating' was part of the event. he was thinking too hard about this but he wasn't exactly in his comfort zone right now.
so lost in his thoughts and worries like usual, he almost didn't hear what risu had said. looking up, he blinked in surprise when the other caught note of his glasses hidden behind his mask. then again the mask's material was pushing up against them and they could have been obvious to anyone who looked hard enough. "oh um..yeah i do." he rose his mask to show the other the glasses that were underneath. "i thought i would look strange if i put them on the outside of my mask."
resting the mask back on his face, he thought about what he could ask the other. his sister had said he needed to socialize and get to know other people. "are you having fun so far?"
when natalie yelled out 'wait' his hand suddenly stopped in its track. he didn't want to retract it as it might startle the dinosaur. so he just hovered it there for a while before she spoke again. let him sniff the hand first, right.
so ceddy moved his hand a little bit closer to the tyrunt. the dinosaur soon slipped its snout under his palm. ceddy took this as a sign of victory and trust. at least he still had his hand. "i like him too," he smiled at the tyrunt before returning his attention back to his date.
"what a lovely pokemon," he complimented. but now it was back to the date.
Risu smiled he watched as Nori panicked it was just like his brother. So he did wear frames! Well that is different, after all he was supposed to wear his frames too! Maybe it was for the best or just the worst because he can't see insanely obvious things.
He simply smiled towards Nori in a reassuring way. "I am having a blast I've never eaten so much food in my life." He chuckled a bit and patted his stomach. He felt very satisfied with how things were going he wasn't even mentioning the dating food. "By the way are you a trainer? My goal is to become one of the strongest."

oh i just died in your arms tonight whoa, whoa broken hearts lie all around me, and i
The new presence was enough to distract the pikachu for a bit, as it hopped off Julius's shoulders and began waddling across the table to Penelope, on all fours. Julius at first reached out to grab the Pikachu and pull him back, but shook his head instead as it began sniffing the air an performed a little bow for the lady.
"Quite a charmer, huh," he stated, jokingly. He paused and smiled up at her. "What a shame, who'd willingly miss a night like this and a woman like you?" he asked.
He shrugged at her question, like it wasn't all too important. "Maybe I just have? Night's still young, you never know." He laughed lightly, hoping she wasn't taking him too seriously. Julius was a little too nervous about a certain act he had to pull off to be flirting, but the distraction was a welcome one.
"So, what about you? From around Hoenn or?" He asked, eager to slip into the steady beat of a conversation, eyes shifting to Andrea every once in a while.

she tried to remember how to approach her tyrunt. as far as nat knew, this was a creature from a few hundred million years old. things like pets weren't the first thing on his mind, food was. she eased mike into recognising cedric, and looked relieved to see him register him as something that wasn't food. all was well, then. she gave him a smile. "yeah! he likes you." that was one person, then.
nat was glad, really, really glad that it was a mutual feeling. but the night wasn't about mike, no, it was about cedric and nat, which she was more than happy to share about. "well, i moved here when i was really young. i don't really remember kanto. lots of my childhood was here in lavaridge, though." she played with her hair, bouncing her leg. something was nagging at the back of her mind. "nowadays, i'm just travelling around the region to explore some."
