[Anyone passing through Union's parks today will likely happen upon a somewhat odd sight.  Merrill is sitting on a bench, leaning forward with her hands on her knees and staring with great interest at a Sawsbuck.  The Sawsbuck doesn't seem to be doing anything terribly interesting, splitting its time roughly equally between staring back at Merrill, standing and looking regal as it listens for potential danger, and grazing lightly on the grass.  Despite this, however, its trainer's attention remains absolutely riveted on the Pokemon, as if she's expecting it to do something amazing any moment now.]

Oh, I can't wait...!

That's wonderful! [She'll just make note of that too.] I am quite glad to have met you, Merrill.

[bleeding_heart]

[Merrill nods, smiling.]

It's been nice meeting you too, Raine.

When would be the best time to have a further lesson on the Arlathan language and culture?

[bleeding_heart]

Oh, goodness, I don't know. I've never given official lessons before.

[wise_maiden]

I could give you some suggestions as we go along. Such as, perhaps starting with the alphabet and translations, and then onto your significant phrases, and any recollections about the culture, and so on.

[bleeding_heart]

Yes! Those sound like lovely suggestions.

[wise_maiden]

It probably helps that I'm used to tutoring. I'm sure this will end up being quite fun for both of us.

[bleeding_heart]

I'll be looking forward to it.
