Who: Angelo, Hilda
When: Sometime after this conversation.
Where: Restaurant -> Island
Style: [ brackets ]
Status: Closed!


[ It had taken some time, but Hilda was finally settled enough to call Angelo back and set up for their 'date.' She actually didn't want to call it that; she didn't know if it could properly be called a date if she didn't have any romantic interest in the person she was going out with. Still, she was here, waiting for him, dressed no more or less casually than she ordinarily would be.

She clasped her hands together behind her back and waited for her 'date' to arrive. ]

[Don't bring up his brother or else the date will be soured. Though he does escort her inside and to a table.]

Have you been enjoying your stay in the bubble thus far?

[ourlegends]

It's not bad. I do get a little homesick from time to time, though.

[ She sits at the table that he escorts her to and makes herself comfortable. ]

[beauchevalier]

Why not talk about your world to me? It might make you feel less homesick.

[He picks up a menu and offers one to her.]

[ourlegends]

Well ...

[ She takes the menu, trying to think of where to start. ]

... Unova is really pretty. I've been all over the region now, and I've even gone into a neighboring region, too.

[beauchevalier]

Neighboring region? What region is that?

[ourlegends]

Ah, well ...

[ She shifts a little, awkwardly. ]

Before I came here, I was looking for N in other regions ... I was working my way through Sinnoh before Vatheon decided otherwise.

[beauchevalier]

[When she mentions N, he suddenly remembers their conversation.]

N? He was green haired boy you were with, correct?

[ourlegends]

[ She nods. ]

He and I kind of have history with each other back home ... I don't think it's really my place to talk about a lot of it, but I'll just say that he took off after something major, and after a while of trying to get back to my normal life, I just ...

[ She smiles sheepishly, remembering just how overwhelming the nagging thought of wanting to find N had been before she actually started looking for him. ]

I had to find him. So I went looking for him.

[beauchevalier]

So you are in love with him.

[Yeah he's just going to be blunt about it.]

I had a feeling he was your lover.

[ourlegends]

[ She looks at him confusedly for a few moments. ]

A-Ah ... no, I don't think It's that.

[ Hilda laughs a little, awkwardly. ]

We have a really complicated relationship, I guess you could say ... remember, there's a lot I haven't told you about what happened back home.

[beauchevalier]

There's no need to be shy about it, Hilda. If you want to be in love with him, I can offer to help.

[Help in more ways than one too naturally.]

Feel free to call upon me should my services be required.

[ourlegends]

[ She fidgets in her seat a little. ]

I honestly don't know how I feel. I really don't think about romance or things like that at all.

[beauchevalier]

[He ponders on this and thinks more.]

I think you might be in denial, darling. From the way you speak of him, it sounds like love to me.

[ourlegends]

[ She fidgets a bit more in her seat. ]

Could we talk about something else?

[ This is something she just does not feel ready to talk about at length. ]

[beauchevalier]

[He nods and decides to bring up another topic.]

Of course.

[A pause before he speaks.]

I must say you have a very nice figure.

[ourlegends]

[ THAT WAS NOT THE KIND OF SUBJECT CHANGE SHE EXPECTED, DUDE. ]

... U-Um. Thank you, Sir ...?

[ SERIOUSLY WHAT ELSE CAN SHE SAY TO THAT ]

[beauchevalier]

[He's always one to change into odd topics.]

Why do you insist on calling me sir? You can call me Angelo.

[ourlegends]

S-Sorry ... it's a habit. I was raised to address people older than me politely. It takes a little bit to get out of the habit.

[beauchevalier]

It makes me feel old, darling. I'm a gift from the heavens after all, a young and handsome gift.

[ourlegends]

I'll try to break the habit, Mr-- A-Angelo!

[ HABITS ARE HARD TO BREAK OK ]

[beauchevalier]

[He should know.]

So what else can you tell me about yourself and your world?

[ourlegends]

Um ... what all would you like to know?

[ In the back of her mind, Hilda was certain this must have been a dangerous question ... ]

[beauchevalier]

You know about those Pokemon, yes? Where do they come from? And what type of town do you come from?

[Totally innocent questions from him.]

[ourlegends]

Oh, well ... yeah, I do. I'm a Pokemon trainer. [ She smiles a little. ]

I come from Nuvema Town, in Unova. It's a really small town, and I grew up around the same people all the time, really.

[ There's a small laugh as she remembers her home. ]

We have a Professor in our town, a Pokemon Professor! Professor Juniper. She gave me my first Pokemon, right before I set out on my journey. She's very intelligent and knows a lot about Pokemon, but not even she knows where Pokemon come from ... for all anyone knows, Pokemon have always been around in our world. Even before humans, maybe.

[beauchevalier]

[He takes that all in and nods in her direction. Though he does seem to have another question.]

What type of monarchy does Unova have? Are you ruled by a king or queen? Or does your land have something entirely different?

[ourlegends]

Monarchy? We don't have a Monarchy in Unova ...

[ She laughs a little. ]

We have something different. But I wouldn't be able to explain it, really. I never paid much attention to how it all works when I was in school.

[ She left to become a Pokemon trainer right before she would have entered High School ... And the mun has no idea what kind of political system Unova runs on. Or the Pokemon Universe in general for that matter. ]

[beauchevalier]

So you aren't ruled by monarchs? How interesting.

[He's fascinated with the idea of other worlds having different political systems.]
