the grunt immediately perks up at the familiar voice, stopping in his tracks & turning around to look into eyes filled to the brim with life. no matter how many times he talked to her, she still always seemed to overflow with energy & positiveness ( the complete opposite of him ), and while draining, at times, it was nevertheless something he appreciated from her.
❝ yo– lu, y’did ? ❞ his first reaction was that of surprise– only for it to be replaced with one that mirrored her own, eyes widening at her statement. well, not as much as they did when she opened the box that had caught part of his attention; one which now stole her spotlight big time.
talk about a lucky day. ❝ you’re fuckin’ crazy y’know that ? ❞ the comment was uttered as he went and stole of the colours of the rainbow she held in her hands, a lopsided smile forming as he did, ❝ where th’hell’re y’staying at ? ‘s it’n ula’ula’r farher away ? ❞ a fact that he needed to know– for various reasons ( some which included the food which she mentioned seconds earlier ).
She laughed at his expression, absolutely beaming and a fair, pinker rival for the sun above their heads. She was in a good enough mood that she’d even let his language slide...for now.
“Maybe I am, but this is the best I’ve felt in awhile, you know? I...I great. Amazing, even!!” It was a little odd, in retrospect. She’d been so torn up back home, thoughts breaking her heart and making her cry...but ever since she’d had her trip, had been extending it.... She felt so much better.
Maybe she was running away from her problems. Maybe she simply fell too much in a new love with the new world around her, with pokemon and with Darce... But how could she be against that, even if any- or all- of those were true? To be this happy again felt like a worthwhile trade.
Besides, her song was almost done.
“Who knows? Maybe I am! But...if that’s so, then maybe I should’ve been a long time ago.” Luka laughed softly and made sure to have at least one of her making before she allowed Darce to hog the box. (Yes, she was allowing him to be greedy; bad Luka!!) “I managed to get a place here, yeah! Which I personally feel is like a stroke of luck... I wasn’t too sure what the market was going to be like for houses and yet I managed somehow!
“I even have a little friend now...” She moved a bit, going for her bag...and pulled out a pokeball. She’d been encouraged to take the little buddy with her, as both protection and a way to better understand pokemon....or so the supposed professor had said.
There’s interesting things going on a little bit of everywhere, she’s quickly learning all over again!
