Her bright grin remained in place as he accepted her basket. She then bounced on the spot a little in excitement. It had been soooo long since she had last seen him!
And alright, maybe she had been hoping to see him and see if he was avoiding her, and maybe she had been pushed by the Contest managers to try lure him back to the stages but...those were minor details really.
❝You’re welcome!! You deserve some goodies!❞
With soft, smiling eyes, she looked him over to try figure out if he had been doing alright. She had missed seeing him around the Contest Halls and had been trying to pick up on news about him. If he wasn’t now holding the basket she had given him, she probably would have hugged him!
❝How have you been anyway?? Have you miiiiiiissssed me~?❞
She giggled and waved away the latter comment with a hand, ❝It’s been forever since we last saw each other! It’s like you’re hiding from me or something!❞
Subtle, Lissi, so subtle.
Honestly, even if it wasn’t for the managers pushing at her, she would be dying to ask him if he ever planned to return to Contests. The question was ready to jump off the tip of her tongue, but she didn’t want to push him right now and she had other things to ask about.
❝How are all your pokemon doing??❞
