"Mmm, handbag crackers."

She's hungry, and her emergency snack just happened to be a slightly out of date pack of cream crackers, dry.

[oh and one thing whilst I'm here; if I drop you a starter could you please like it so I know you've seen it? Tumblr fucks with notifications for sport, and I wanna make sure everything runs smoothly.]

Heh, that's cute. Shoe doesn't know many people in Unova own an Archeops, what with it being a fossil Pokémon and all, so they're not very well known… And very cute, it has to be said.

“Nah, he's not very heavy. I carry him around like this a lot, and he seems happy, so who am I to deny him?”

Oh - that's good - she's got a much easier time keeping up with this… string bean man… now. Not everyone is so fortunate to be blessed with height.

“Mhm. No problem. It's always super easy for me to tell when someone's got nothing good in their heart. Way easier than reading a Pokémon's”

This time, now that he was less fixated on prying, Emmet seemed to actually notice that she was having a bit of a hard time keeping up with him. He gave her an apologetic smile and did his best to slow his pace. He walked, as always, in a perfect rhythm but oddly enough he seemed to stumblefor a moment recalibrating as he looked towards Iris with wide eyes.

"...you really think so?" The smile on his face was ever so slight, but warm and grateful in its smallness. "Hmm." He mused, returning his attention to the course he'd charted in his head. "Thank you." He wasn't sure how else to express his gratitude or say how nice and relieving those words were to hear. He felt unfamiliarity understood. It was a nice feeling, even if he didn't have the words to explain it.

Eyes widened once more, even wider this time it seemed, as he peered down at the pokemon that peeked from her bag. "Wow! Has he been in there this whole time? Isn't he heavy? I am not sure if my Archeops would even fit in luggage like that. She's sorrrt of big." Definitely larger than average considering the way it felt like his back was going to break any time she insisted on climbing over his shoulder.

"Oh gods, they're doing it again..."

Slams her head into her hands.

One thing I'm adamant on is Iris not having a thigh gap. At all.

She may be quite slender looking, but she's no slouch when it comes to leg day.

[I lived bitch. now I away to drafts. hmu on discord if you wanna plot/perceive the furry sociopaths that live in my house rent free]

@arcanaanima requested a starter

Iris chews her lip in thought, briefly. Swirls around the contents of her mug briefly.

"Stop looking at me like that."

A beat, as she drinks. "Like you recognize me."

"I mean, if I have met you before, do enlighten me - but otherwise... yeah, how can I... help you?"

[eranthiss]

@thegalarianchamp asked for interaction in the Andiiles and Sisciile

"Nah, later or tomorrow... I got us a hotel in Holdout City for now. Sides-" Iris snags her travel bag off the baggage reclaim in one hand, and slings it over her shoulder, apparently entirely unbothered by the complete lack of working air conditioning in this section of the airport. "-I don't really wanna deal with more travel right now, my back is killing me and I might drop the next non-you person that talks to me. You got your stuff already, yeah?"

Iris doesn't mind carrying his bag too

She catches herself looking up as she walks through the crowded airport - scanning the signs, contemplating the duty-free zone - like she isn't here pretty often, and doesn't completely understand all the signage. Sure there's a translation in Galarian underneath, but it is refreshing to not have to put all that brainpower into reading. Iris can smell it in the city air - the usual heat rising off of the pavements, thirty five degrees steady. One hand digs out a bottle of water from her bag, somehow still cold - and offers it to Francis.

" 'ere. You wanna crash out at the hotel or get food? Estelle - the main gym leader here - recommended a place I think you'll like. I don't really mind either way. Whatever makes you comfortable."

[eranthiss]

Iris has met the Andiilan Champion before, including the prior iterations; her grandmother, her mother, her sister, Elizabeth... and now this tiny little scrap of a girl, Isana.

Isana very noticeably smacks her own hand away as she instinctively reaches up to prod at the medical device at her chest Iris can't quite identify.

"I've heard how they talk about you, Isana. They're calling you the "Fae-touched Child" pretty damn openly."

The young girl shrugs, and takes another sip of her smoothie. "I don't really care. Mostly because it's true, I think. My eyes started glowing in the dark about four years ago, so I think I need to start being more careful."

Careful? She knows how it works. Dragon tamers handle Pokémon that could and would kill them if even slightly pissed off, Psychic specialists leave their minds open to all sorts of probing - but fairy specialists like little thirteen year old Isana regularly risk losing their grip on reality as a whole.

She's seen it happen, too. There's horror stories of it happening in Unova. It makes her wonder why anyone voluntarily handles such a dangerous type anyway.

"You're probably right, Champion. It's a very fine line you have to tread as a type specialist, yanno?"

A pause. Iris leans back into her seat, in a out of the way chain coffee shop in Holdout City.

"Why did you want to talk to me, Isana?"

Another pause, and the child before her locks direct eye contact with her. Iris can sense something... calculating in those soft purple eyes of hers.

"I want you to support me as Champion Regent. I think you're my best possible choice, actually. I want you to teach me how to play this weird game of chess all yous are playing."

Iris carefully places her mug back in the saucer.

"I... I'll try. On the condition that you run things by me first."

@controlledhues replied

I need to understand how their minds

"Work? Yeah, I get it. It's one of life's great mysteries."

"One of my old uni friends managed to burn a salad one time."

[eranthiss]

Dragonsbone City is a UNESCO world heritage site, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth.

The Summer Palace - more commonly referred to as the Ace Estate by those who work and live there is thousands of years old, and is still maintained in a odd fusion of old and modern. Iris grew up there, and knows the layout like the back of her hand.
