A quaint room furnished lightly with cots and a perch in one corner, pastel blue curtains on the windows, and a small desk with a night lamp against the middle of the far wall.
Team Aura welcomes all polite and well intentioned guests as long as they are kind enough to knock before entering.

"Perhaps it is time we take on a mission." The evening light was casting long shadows into the room that face the west when Lin said these words. The Mienfoo had been quietly meditating in the Lotus Position for the past few hours, so both Tik, who had been pruning through his delicate feathers, and Solanine, who had been reading something at the desk in their room, were taken by surprise. Both looked at one another before looking back to the Mienfoo as she stood from her position on the ground and stretched out her arms above her head.
"Why the sudden rush?" Tik asked in curiosity. Sure it had been a good while since their incident in the Mystic Jungle, and they hadn't really done anything since then, but... "Wait, that's a stupid question." He muttered at himself as he realized Lin wasn't rushing at all, merely doing her job as Team Aura's captain.
"Not at all, Tik. Lin warmly assured him with a smile and her unseeing gaze fell on him. "We have been doing nothing for quite a while now, so I understand that this may have come as a surprise. I merely thought it a good time to go into action."
"R-right." The bird mentioned awkwardly, not feeling any less embarrassed by Lin's logical reasoning. The Mienfoo suddenly frowned as he spoke, making him feel even more uncomfortable under her stare.
"But Tik does have a good point," The Nidorina who had been silent up until that point was kind enough to speak up and break the momentary awkward tension. "We could have gone out on a mission for a while now, why the sudden motivation?"
Lin looked at Solanine with a shrug, "Well, since we have seemed to come to be quite comfortable sitting in silence with one another, I felt we were ready for the next step. Am I wrong?" Both Tik and Solanine blinked in confusion. Lin suddenly frowned and blinked in confusion, too. "What is the matter? Was I actually quite wrong?"
"I-it's not that you're wrong, hun. We definitly need a change of pace." Solanine was quick to assure their captain with a comforting tone, "Your reasoning is just a bit different is all. But, still! It's a great idea! Why don't we go take a look at the board right away and see what we can do!"
With that, Lin's confidence seemed to return and she smiled brightly. "Yes, of course! Why don't you two go down and pick one out that needs tending to. I'll trust your decision." They didn't need to even ask why she wouldn't be joining them. Not being able to read a mission statement would certainly a damper in going to pick out a mission.
"Yes Ma'am! We'll be back in a jiff! Right, Tik?" Now the Nidorina looked at the Fletchling as she hopped down from the desk chair and began making her way to the door. Tik ruffled his wings and nodded in agreement as he flew to the door with her.
