SOFT SENTENCE STARTERS // still accepting!
@88sugiru asked: “Wait, are those-? Are those bruises?”
She’s barely spent a full day here...and Clair can already say that she loves the Isle of Armor. For a Leader with her unmatched level of drive and commitment to strength, the Galarian locale is a rough-and-tumble paradise. The various terrains are unforgiving, and even the wild Pokemon are surprisingly formidable. As twilight falls around the area, Clair finally decides to wind down after several hours of training. Leaning up against the rock wall of the Brawler’s Cavern, the panting dragon tamer quickly takes stock of herself, using Dragonair’s soft light to illuminate the area. After a full day of exploration and battles, her pale knees and arms are marked with bruises and scrapes. Clair swipes a sweaty lock of blue hair out of her eyes and smiles--despite the pain, the Leader feels exhilarated--it’s been a while since she’s challenged herself like this.
However, her grin fades as a hesitant question is posed from the shadows, and Clair turns to face a familiar-looking trainer. Compared to the Blackthorn native, Klara’s outfit and overall appearance seem pristine--and Clair remembers now, remembers seeing the pink-haired woman lounging around the Dojo earlier that day. She regards the new arrival warily, unsure of what to make of her appearance.
“...Yes? What do you think they are?” Clair retorts, blunt and impatient as ever. Reaching into her travel pack to pull out some wipes and bandages, she winces--maybe the pain is a little worse than she thought. Still, curiosity gets the best of her. “...I really wasn’t expecting to run into anybody this late in the evening--why are you here?”
