Oh. [ Said in that tone of "me?" before recognition kicks in. Then guilt. ]

Right. I didn't mean I thought you fit the bill or anything. It was just an, uh, example? [ Smile smile maybe it'll sound more convincing that way. Buying into other people's gossip was a bit of a problem with her but Weiss did shut Jaune down pretty hard that day. Week. Whatever. ]

hello there Yang?
I was wondering how you were doing!
is your traveling party still in Goldenrod City? did your arranged meetup go well?

[Is it a day that ends in Y? Then there is a fairly high likelihood of Weiss shutting Jaune down hard.]

Sure. Right.

[She's just going to turn towards the door.]

[ Yang had been doing so well, despite everything else, right up until she decided to see what her own foot would taste like. Though she fires off her opinions quickly there is still more forethought put into them than she was exhibiting currently. She can't fully blame it on the earlier weirdness, but it wasn't helping neither.

And while Yang could have put this more eloquently, all that she can blurt out to reinforce her initial statement is: ] If someone said that about you now, I'd deck 'em.

[ She pounded her fist into a palm once, smirking. ] That goes double for me. [ What a strange admission of guilt. It's barely an apology. Though if her opinion of Weiss had not evolved for the better, that dating profile would have turned out a whole lot worse. ]

I guess throwing myself at a volcano in the arena was enough to melt that persona?

[She's at least trying.]

You don't need to go that far. I really don't want to have to explain to everyone else that you gave yourself a black eye defending me from yourself.

[Weiss is well aware of that fact.]

Okay?

[ That comment about the volcano got a chuckle and a smile out of her. The act had meant a lot to her, of course, and not just because it had propelled her into the finals for the singles matches at the cost of Weiss's own participation... ] Heh. If you had tried any harder, it would have done a lot more than just thaw you out a bit.

[ Yang nodded. ] Okay, okay. I'll lay off the public embarrassment.

ash! hey!
yeah we got here safe & sound
just hanging out & getting some training done so i dont feel like such a tourist
my pokemon are getting a workout too i guess :P
how about you? everything go okay with that guy?

yes he was very friendly and helpful
he showed me around Goldenrod and got me back to Cherrygrove with no hassle

[okay with LITTLE hassle but that wasn't on him]

I've also been training
but for me it's JUST my pokemon unless you count the workout of traveling
which I guess I do

good! im real happy to hear it

[ Yang had been lowkey worried. ]

haha yeah it pays to stay in shape
with the lack of transit options especially
id hate to get rusty with my fighting just because i "shouldnt" need it here

I'm not really an outdoorsy person
and the locals really are against violence so I hear (yay)
but for someone who fights all the time I can imagine that'd be a concern
have you had any luck in finding a job?

Don't I know it. I'm lucky I didn't do more damage to my voice than I did, much less anything else.

[She still doesn't feel like her voice is back at 100%, but that's neither here nor there. It's not something she's going to bring up, at any rate.]

Good.

...things aren't going to be weird going forward, right?

It doesn't have to be. [ She rubbed the back of her head a moment, then shrugged. ] I mean, for starters, this place is weird enough as it is. We don't... have to add to that.

[ Yang closed one eye; she wasn't winking, she was actually rubbing at it since it was still early and she felt some gunk in the corner of it. ] Not like I'm going to go blab about this to anyone. [ No, not even Ruby. People don't have to know what went on in here this morning. Especially since the explanation for it is still out of her grasp. ]

No, we don't. Definitely not.

[That's met with a smile, even if it is a little sheepish.]

Then that's a deal, right? Neither of us go making a big deal out of it or discussing it with anyone else.

[ Yang nodded once, sharply. ] Deal.

I'll see you — and everyone else — at breakfast later? I'm gonna go ahead and take my shower. [ The timing of which was not implicit of anything; she just always did it while everyone else prepared for their day, since she took quite a long time in there. ]

it was easier to get work than i thought
like theres no real putting a resume together
its just
can you follow directions?
boom! hired
waiting tables is nothing i ever saw myself doing but its not that hard

that so? maybe if there's something not too time-consuming when I get to Violet I'll do a little something
what's it like anyway? food service. always seemed stressful.

should be easy to find something
i mean the jobs are only five days at a time
no commitment if you get into something you dont like

being on my feet and having my hands full is the easy part
memorizing tables is the hardest
some people can be kinda rude but that happens anywhere

I just want to have time to train. I have no idea what the first gym is like and if I'm going to earn my keep mostly by battling, I have to do my research.

honestly it just sounds like sooo much more work then I'd want to do. hopefully there'll be a desk job of some kind to do for a week or so. it'd be boring but boring's welcome.
to each their own though. at least you don't have to cook anything?

nah they wont let me in the kitchen
too much hair
there was a janitor position too but that was a last resort if this didnt pan out

i could probably be training more too but im still not used to the idea
making someone else fight for me just isnt my style
i dont get how pokemon dont get seriously hurt during these fights either
so many of them are so cute it makes it hard to give the order to attack!

it's sort of weird the idea of making them fight
but I'm not pushing any of them that don't want to into it no way no how.
it's kind of like
they had games of this back home. Pokemon. so it's easy for me to get into the mindset that you fight with them. this just involves asking them if they want to as well
and also
I mean I need SOMETHING to focus on in my time here and if there's a built in game aspect? might as well try it.

All right. I'll see you later, then.

[She waves, then heads on out.]

right thats fair
i remember
and i know i said id try to get the badges
"beat" the game and all
just to see if it would get me out of here
but still
im used to fighting my OWN battles
and as far as i can tell if i tried to earnestly fight with a pokemon i would get my butt handed to me as i am now
its a difficult position to find myself in

it must be. take your time is the best thing to do I suppose?
are your friends doing the same? you all come from a place where you fight yourselves after all.

haha yeah
were all taking our own time with things
my sis is super excited. really trashed me in the ring the other day
im so proud of her but oh my god im still bruised up

never known anyone to say THAT in earnest
it's good that you've got something to do as a family??
