"Sure, if you don't mind." Merry seemed a little warmer to the idea as well; it seemed she was reassured by the fact that Panther hadn't behaved or spoken violently. Not that she encountered such people terribly often, but she was always on the lookout nonetheless. "Or we can do it another time, if you'd prefer to do training. I'm pretty sure I'm free for the rest of the day." He glanced at his wrist to check the time only to remember that he didn't wear a watch.

"I'd prefer to let my pokemon met other people, you never know when we'll be stuck on a mission together. And pokemon who have met each other are more likely to work together. Not everyone does that, but." he shrugged. "It's still a type of training."

"Makes sense," Lucas assented with a nod. He drew a long sip from his hot chocolate in an attempt to polish it off. He didn't quite make it to the bottom of the cup, but he was close. "You know a lot about training." And about pokemon in general, for that matter. "I guess feel a little pathetic having to ask a guy practically half my age for help, but you do seem to know your stuff." He gave another shot at the hot chocolate and fell short once more.

"Naw, I'm just winging it, like everyone else. But trying new approaches is by no means bad. Who knows, once in a while I might come up with a good idea." he tossed his cup into the trash can and it bounced off, onto the floor. He sighed and walked over to shove the thing in.

"Sounds like you're doing pretty well for just winging." He had a thought to attempt basketing his own cup from the same distance but realized before doing so that his limited vision would likely result in an embarrassing failure. Instead, he stood and approached the waste bin, tossing the expended cup into its depths. He gestured to Panther with an expression that beckoned for him to lead the way, Merry following his movements closely.

With a short nod, he did lead the way, over to the elevator and took Lucas up to the second floor of the dorms, where some of the agents lived. Panther lead him down to the grunts' side of the hall. As he approached one of the doors, he stopped and pulled out his key. "You want to stand back for a minute, before I let you in."

Lucas took in the floor with a mild interest. His own room was on the same floor as the trainee quarters, and he had yet to see the agent/grunt arrangements. It was strikingly similar, but the doors to the agent rooms seemed as though they were further apart, suggesting that they were somewhat more spacious. He was snapped out of his musings by Panther's warning and, confused, acted on it, taking a few steps backwards toward the opposite wall, an eyebrow raised in anticipation of what would unfold.

Taking note the Lucas was properly situated, he turned the key in the lock and opened the door.
A flash of fire ran strait to the grunt and orange clung to his leg. "Char!"
"Yes, I'm back now let go of my leg."
His only response was excited noises as the charmander clung to his leg and looked up, possibly hoping for some sort of treat. "Lucas, this is Nika. She has gotten into this odd habit of rushing me at the door. She‘ll calm down in a minute."

Lucas blinked at the Charmander's sudden charge and looked on with a subtle sense of amusement. In response to Panther's introduction, he crouched to get a better view of the little fire dragon. "So you're Nika, hm? It's good to meet you." Merry chimed her own regards from behind her human's arm.

Suddenly noticing the people she maneuvered to have Panther's leg between herself and the strangers. "Char?" she gave a glance up at Panther who was looking instead at Lucas.
"You can come in, just excuse the mess, I wasn't expecting company when I set out this morning." he pushed the door open and stepped over the chramander and in the door, sneaking his leg away from her grip in her brief moment of confusion.

He gave the Charmander a smile before standing back up to his full height and chuckling at Panther's warning. "Ahh, not to worry. I'm sure it's not as bad as you think." He thought back to his own room with an inward frown. He really needed to clean that up some day. Some day. For now, though, he opted to act on the younger man's invitation, following him into the chamber.

Inside the there was only one bed and a desk with a revolving chair. On the desk was papers scattered about along with a pile of dirty dishes staked on a corner and a simple laptop plugged into the wall. The papers on the desk spilled onto the wall side of the desk and a stack of books rested along the wall. The top book was red and had the title Explosion Moves.
the bed was unmade a blanket hung off and obscuring the view under it. A bag of candy was ploped on the night stand. Empty bags of chips were scattered across the floor, which Panther kicked across the floor under his bed, passing a fireproof chamander bed and then hiding behind the blanket. "You can have the chair." he ploped on the bed facing the desk and reached into the bag pulling out a few wrapped chocolate candies. "Want one?"

It was a bit disheveled, but the room was certainly livable. Lucas gave thought to his own quarters, a mess of loose papers, open notebooks, and the long forgotten items that lurked beneath them. He wasn't a huge fan of food-related garbage - it drew all kinds of unsavory bug pokemon - but at least Panther's trash was distinct from his actual things.
With a nod, Lucas seated himself in the swivel chair, unable to resist a half-spin on the revolving seat. He held up a hand to decline Panther's offer, "No thanks, I'm good." The hot chocolate had satisfied his sweet tooth for at least the following few days. He noticed, though, that Merry seemed almost to deflate as his side, and he chuckled a bit. "Actually, sure. Thank you."

The initial rejection didn't bother him, but Merry's deflated pout remind him of his own pokemon. He allowed a small smile and tossed Lucas a piece of chocolate. Nika tried to climb up onto the bed to get at the candy and he unwrapped a piece for her which she took happily. "Just toss the wrapper on the desk, I'll get to it eventually. Normally I keep it cleaner, but I've been busy." He stretched and leaned on the wall. "Merry seems more relaxed then earlier."

"I keep telling you to speak up when you want something," Lucas lectured quietly as he unwrapped the chocolate and placed it in Merry's waiting paws. He placed the wrapper where he was instructed and turned to respond to Panther's comment, "Yeah, she does, doesn't she? I guess it's hard to be tense all the time. Especially when there's no reason for it." Merry's mouth formed a downward curve, embarrassed and slightly indignant as she nibbled at the candy she had been given.
