Who: Everyone!
When: 8/27
Where: The Tropical Island
What: The end of summer is quickly approaching, get your last bit of summer fun in now!
Warnings: Beach episode shenanigans.

Bright sun, warm sands, rolling waves, the tropical island was the place to be. With the new port making travel out much easier, the island was seeing a surge in tourism. Something about fighting giant fiery gods must have made people eager to jump into the water and relax.

[Suddenly, from behind]

What a lovely day!

[Cordelia nearly jumps out of her skin, for some odd reason feeling the sudden urge of definitely not wanting to be there. She does her best to try not to cover up.

Which is to say, she throws her arms over her chest in a very unconvincing manner.]

R-Robin!

Yes?

[He's wearing his customary robes]

[Which actually does a lot to calm down her embarrassment. Although she's still going to try to cover herself up a bit.]

Aren't you warm in those?

Extremely!

[Stare.]

Then why are you wearing it?

I don't quite have the money for more swim-appropriate attire at the moment.

But you have a job! Unless...

[Please tell her your Eevees haven't been eating you out of house and home, Robin.]

I've been working on furnishing my home fully and am trying to put away some money for savings, so I don't have a lot of wiggle room unfortunately.

[She heaves a sigh of relief. Still, she hated to see him suffer]

If you want, my uncle's beach house isn't too far from here, and you're about the same size as Asch and Luke. I'm sure that they have extra clothes there that you could borrow.

I wouldn't want to impose...

You wouldn't be imposing at all. My family likes you well enough, and I know that my mother would be happy to see you at the very least.

Well if you don't mind...

I wouldn't have suggested it if I did.

In that case I gladly accept.

[Cordelia will lead him back to the beach house. While not nearly as large as the estate that they have in Union, it is rather large and well-built, especially considering how long the port has been available. Some poor Pokemon probably had to cart supplies over well beforehand.

Despite saying that her mother might like to see him, she appears to be treading very carefully.]

Very impressive!

Uncle insisted that we spare no expense when it came to constructing it. The fresh air has been good for my aunt.

Your aunt?

She has been sick since I can remember. Luke was as well, when he was young, and we were afraid that he might have taken after his mother. Thankfully, he got better.

That's good, especially since this area seems to agree with your aunt more.

I hope it stays warm during the winter, so she can spend more time here. I know she doesn't like being away from Luke and Asch, but the fresh air has done wonders for her already.

Indeed. This area does appear to be fairly tropical, so I imagine it stays pretty warm. Those trees can't really survive in more temperate areas.

Unless those trees happen to also be Pokemon.

[She's smiling. Wait. Was that... was that a joke she was trying to make?]
