@gmaxflared said: "You okay, Nia?"

"No, I'm mad." And sulking about it, apparently. "The Board is getting on my nerves."

"Oh my god dey were rivals..."

@gmaxflared is checking in: "So, I met some people you might know, Gloria. I need your help with one of 'em though, a bloke named Lance who claims to be your dad?" He doesn't even ask with any suspicion, Leon's genuinely confused. "How've I never seen him around our block?" You mean, aside from how you weren't home ALL the time, Sir???

"Oh! Yew mean dradad! He adopted me intuh his family after findin' me sleepin' in a giant flower." That's not at all what happened. But it is true that she's been adopted into his family.

"He 'nd mum set it up so he'd have someone to carry on his family's traditions 'nd Ah'd have a legal guardian with me even when outta de region. It was gettin' real stressful fer mum tryin' tuh balance runnin' de farm 'nd followin' me on de outta region meetin's..." Admittedly her mother never told Gloria as much. But Gloria could tell by the frequent phone calls her mother had to take regarding the farm back in Postwick that it wasn't an easy balance.

"As fer Lance though, he's from Kanto 'nd hasn't gotten tuh spend much time at de farm itself. So dat's probably why yew haven't gotten tuh see much a him 'round Postwick."

"Good! I'm calling dibs on you as my personal assistant this year. I've got some extra research that I need to get done, so you're going to be coming with me. We're going Dynamax hunting!"

Leon was far and away the best person to have around for going power spot diving.

"I'm sorry to hear that."

How the fuck is she meant to respond to that?

I'm sorry you watched hundreds die painfully whilst you were fifteen and woefully out of your depth...

"Yeah, thanks."

@gmaxflared: "Don't worry about it! It may come to you whenever you're ready, if that's something you're meant for!"

"Maybe it's because I'm the type that requires an emotional connection with someone first?"

There's also her more trauma related reasons for not really ever experiencing a crush, but that's not something she'd want to talk about openly with strangers.
