Mistakes Were Made || N & ?
Being in Unova always made N slightly uncomfortable. It was a rare day something good came of an Unovan recognizing him; more often than not, it meant exactly the sort of judgement he felt he deserved.
Just because he felt he deserved it didn’t make it feel any good, though.
So being in Castelia was a special sort of nightmare for him, but that’s where he found himself today. Why did he come here? He wasn’t even sure himself. He’d never had the chance to explore it before, and while he normally preferred to stick to forest when he visited his home region, something inspired him to come to the densely populated city.
What a mistake that was turning out to be. He’d bought coffee at some stand, mostly out of curiosity. He’d never had coffee, as he never felt the need for extra caffeine. Cap pulled low, he tried to avoid brushing against people but his shoulders got slammed every few feet. Mumbling “Sorry” after every hit, N was trying to keep from spilling the drink everywhere. At least it had a lid…
He finally found himself with a little space to breathe by turning into a side street. Sighing in relief, he went to turn to see the street sign, only to elbow someone–and, jolting in surprise, N finally lost hold of his drink, leaving it to splatter both him and the stranger as it fell to the street.
For a moment, he stood there, wide-eyed and blinking. But then the stream of apologies got going, a mile a minute.
“I’m so sorry, please forgive me, is there anything I can do to make it up to you? Are your shoes okay? I’m really sorry, I can–replace them? I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin your day, I…”
