It’s always Sunny in Alola || ☼

Charon thought her joke was innocent enough, but apparently it wasn’t to him much to her dismay and as she expected.
She mentally scolded herself for being insensitive to whatever insecurities the kid had, but judging from the way he was looking down at himself and his suddenly flushed face, she touched on something she really shouldn’t have mentioned.
She lightly jabbed his shoulder in an attempt to calm his stuttering, “Hey now, I’m not gonna bite.”
This was one of the things she hated about this generation’s group of kids, they just didn’t have the spine her generation had, and it was probably all thanks to those computers and phones sucking all the life out of them. “Anyways, what’s there to be so nervous about?” She sighed, “Don’t those trainer schools teach you some grit or attitude? You can’t be a pro without some pluck in you!” Charon then smacked the kid’s back to slap some spirit back into him, just like how her dad would do to get the spunk into her and her sister for a tedious day of fishing.
“Come on, come on, you’re a man aren’t ya? Show me some of that school pride!”
Her jab to his shoulder caused him to jolt a little. His face flushed more but he forced a smile and a laugh. “Y-yeah, of course!” It was all just joking around here. What was he so worked up for? Calm down. Everything’s okay.
He’s only on his last chance to prove himself to everyone, but it’s okay!! It’s okay. All jokes and smiles here. It’s always sunny in Alola.
Still, he couldn’t help but blink. Grit? Attitude? Pluck? He wasn’t sure half of what she was saying but all those words did not sound like something that could apply to him. Still, he could at least...try-- Her slapping his back caused him to jolt again. The nausea flared up again but he did his best to swallow the sick feeling back down.
“Y-yeah?” He spoke up, before shaking his head. “I-I mean-- y-yeah! I uh-- i-it’s a good school, I-I’ve heard! Th-the best in the region--” The only one in the region, but still. “I’m really excited to g-go!” It wasn’t a lie, necessarily. He was also just really, really nervous.
Which showed in the way his expression dropped as he looked past her. The marina exited out into a city, huge and sprawling in both directions. “Uhm...y-you wouldn’t h-happen to know where it is...w-would you? I was told it’s actually o-outside the city but uhm...the map is a little c-confusing...”
