Luka smiled. "Thanks." He noticed her looking at his forehead. He tried looking up at it himself and obviously failed miserably. "I haven't got any spots up there have I?" He laughed. "Y'know, you could really do with a shower. I don't think mud is in fashion, unfortunately." He hoped she wouldn't take offense to his joke, but, he was prepared if that were the case.

Henrietta looked away. "Y-yeah, I just need a hotel room. I overstressed my Pokemon, though. So I'll have to find another way to make money."

"Ah." Luka grinned cheekily for a second. "Well... What luck. I just so happen to have a hotel room. I paid for a room for a few days, so, if you want a quick shower and a nap then you can borrow it. Just so long as your Litwick doesn't burn the place down. I think I would be in a lot of trouble if that happened." He produced a map of Castelia from his bag with a big star plastered right over where the hotel was. "If you want, I can ring ahead and just tell them to give you the key. Just make sure you don't cheat me out of my room. K?"

A shower and a nap? She could use both, but for now a shower would do. It was already what? Afternoon? She needed to get more done. "A-a shower sounds nice. Thank you." She lowered her head after looking at the map and trying her best to memorize the location.

"Oh, my pokedex? Of course ma'am." The ten year-old states as he reaches into a pocket under the hide armor he typically wears. Slipping his hand into his shorts pocket he wraps his fingers around the pokedex, pulling it out as well as simultaneously opening it for the nurse to see.
As he does he looks down to the pokeballs.
"They were battling of course?" Paul says curiously as he feels aggression in the air.

Luka laughed, before handing her the map. "Don't worry, I know where it is, so, take the map." He looked at his X-Tranceiver. "Wowee, it's the afternoon already? Welp, looks like I need to go and do some stuff. Have you got an X-Tranceiver that I could contact you on? If not, just meet me by the central pier when you're done so I know that I can go back to my room and not have any..... embarrasing situations." He smiled at her. "You get yourself sorted out. Ok?"

"Y-yeah, thank you." Henrietta took the map. "I'll meet you there." She clearly had an xtransciever on her wrist, but it was also clearly broken - a large crack over the screen.
"Take care, Luka."

Luka grinned. "It's ok. You take care of yourself too, Henrietta."
With that, Luka waved goodbye to Henrietta and set off towards the pier. He want to have a relax and let the fresh sea air revitalise him and his Pokémon as well as giving him time to just chill out with them. They were meant to be his friends after all, and what better way to do that and get to know his new Pokémon than relaxing. Sure, the ground type may not like being so near water, but, a little bit of explaining wouldn't hurt.

((Day 2 in Sal's journal is up))
Sachiko jotted some notes down after glancing at the pokedex. Paul's pokemon were all in the back now. When they were healed, a different nurse would come back to bring them to him. But considering their injuries, it would probably take longer than usual.
Her emerald eyes briefly looked over Paul's hide armor, causing her nostrils to flare for a second. "You need to take better care of your pokemon. If you want to be a trainer you need to be more responsible for your pokemon than this."
Calm down, Sachiko. Reid walked into the center and made his way to the Item Shop counter, flashing some cash for the clerk to give him potions. He makes me edgy as well.
I'm going to kill him.
But not now.
Sachiko's cold expression didn't betray the fury she secretly felt. She and Reid didn't even look at each other as they conversed, her eyes still locked on Paul's.
Reid walked out with potions in hand, with a problem he still needed to sort out. A solution had formulated in his head, but it was nothing he wanted to do. Still, the motto was to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Right now, having Henrietta right under his thumb was the best option.
Things may have worked out in his favor.
"I think this is enough," he told her as he exited, handing Henrietta the potions. "I do have a favor to ask of you, though."
"There is a banquet for Team Plasma tonight that I must attend. I am expected to make a good impression to the community present there, and it would bolster my standings to have a partner accompany me. That being said, will you go with me to the banquet?"
He paused, then stuck out his hand for a handshake.
"I'm Reid, by the way."

((I like reading the parts about Henrietta 3: ))
Henrietta had just put the map away when Reid approached. She took the potions. "Th-thank you. So m-much."
She'd laid out her pokeballs when Reid began talking again. Her head rose, her eyes meeting his forehead.
Is he... asking me on a date?
Henrietta was blushing again. Bright red cheeks in contrast to the dirt colored mud dried onto them. "I-
She said she'd do anything. This was for her Pokemon after all, right? "I accept."
Slowly she raised her own skinny little hand, dirt colored. A light tan color ran over the once pale skin - the wonders of the outdoors - and took his hand. "Henrietta."
((Oh god, every character is so socially awkward.))

Paul lightly bows his head as he feels the lecture beginning of how he should take better care of his pokemon. He looked at his shows, the tension seeming to build within him as she spoke. He couldn't place the source of the tension other than the nurse who was rattling on about his need for responsibility towards the beasts.
He couldn't really focus on a thought to rifle his angst in any specific direction so he just rocked on his heals and waited for her to stop talking.
In a respectful as he could muster tone though, he asked, "Well let me know when everything is fixed then..?" before turning and heading towards a bench to wait on.

Sachiko sneered at the back of Paul's head as he walked away. She spun on her heel and started heading for the back. "Let's leave this place," she told Sushiya in passing. Her Jynx followed her. "It stinks in here."
The two exited the pokemon center through the back. The other nurses would give Paul his pokemon when they were healed. She didn't want anything to do with him, anyway.
Her reconnaissance had gone successfully, even with the changes in the plan. It was almost time to meet up with the others.
****
Reid shook Henrietta's hand and then folded his arms. "Excellent. Attire is formal, so you'll need to find something soon if you don't have a dress already. We can meet on the corner of Gym Street near the wharf at 7:30."
What was the procedure next? Reid pondered this for a second.
He decided to bow in a royal fashion. "Thank you for accepting my invitation. Do those terms work for you?"

((Oh god, laughing so hard.
It's so funny and cute at the same time.))
Henrietta nodded. "Y-yeah. Gym street. I'll have a dress," she said. She hadn't really moved her arm in the hand shaking, or her hand or anything. But it was loose, pretty doll like.
"Th-thank you, for helping me."

((Some spies are good at dating. Others, not so much.))
Reid nodded. That had worked out better than he expected, although Henrietta seemed to be in shock over the idea. "Of course. I'm always willing to help pokemon in need."
He said nothing after that. So there was a silence between them. He coughed.
"Well, I'll be seeing you later then."
And then Reid turned on his heel and walked away briskly. He kept his head down as he started making his way to the park.
The Plasma Team Leader made a mental note to have words with his Hitmonchan later. Jackie was sitting by himself on a nearby rooftop, laughing his a** off.
