[Observe the interior of Garry's classroom as it's obvious he's twisting his wrist this way and that to get a good look at the Warp Band.] So this is what all the fuss is about...? [Yes, that was a defeated sigh. Good ol' Garry.]

I'm not sure going out is the best idea .. besides, we still have class. So don't think you're going to get out of doing homework! [Right? Right. He's not that scatterbrained.] But maybe a little venture out on the weekends would be okay. During the day. [No thanks for night time.]

I guess it's customary to ask for tips or something like that. [He's really only ever focused on things that had nothing to do with leaving Union so pokemon training has never been his forte. The cute little blue Floette on the edge of his desk sits patiently, looking on.] Instead of tips.. why don't you tell me your favorite thing about training? ...and exploring? [He asks like he's talking to one person instead of a network at whole. Because that's easier and opens communication more. And also might help him a little better. Maybe.]

...do you think it's worth it?

I do! I think it's very worth it. But maybe you should ask yourself why you're worried about doing what other people do every day?

You don't need to go as far as others, and the forest around the Union is so well known by now. [...] And you don't need to do it alone.

I think... [Let him think as he thinks.] ..stagnation is a very dangerous thing. And if one has the prowess inside themselves to go outside and meet new horizons, they should. [It's very poetic. But he's not sure about it. This being enlightened stuff is kind of hard to deal with now and again.]

But not having to go alone is very helpful. [A very thankful smile.]

Then you should find your own prowess, and give it a go. Asking why other people like it can be fun for their answers, but there's a chance it won't help when you go out.

And like you said... stagnating can be dangerous. Going outside might be dangerous too, but you can learn how to face those dangers. If you give it a go.

I'm trying! [This is more cheerful than it is shouting, mostly because he's sure she get it by now. He's not mister macho tough guy about to go brave a thousand caves.] I think it's inevitable at this point. I have to at least go once. Right? [But after that all bets are off.]

That's right! And if you don't, I'll have to give you detention - and seeing that we both know what my idea of detention is...!

[No way out.]

I can't very well risk that, can I?

Nope. I'll even carry you, if you want.

Now, now! No need to go that far! Just walking will suffice.

Bore. [...] But how do you feel about going now? If you want to ask a few questions, you can go ahead and ask them. The things that worry you.

Right this second? [Clearly he had opinions that were not so good about right this moment.] ....I've heard it's pretty dangerous out there. [From himself, mostly.] How dangerous would you say it is? In your most honest opinion?

That can depend, really. [Hmm.] ...Do you have business soon? If you wanted, we could talk about this in person. Maybe not to a disembodied voice?

It could be today or tomorrow.

I'm just cleaning up after class. We can talk now, if you'd like. [But this is more for his benefit than hers. So.] -and, thank you.

No worries, I've got some spare time. [She giggles.] And let's say it's giving back for all the years my teachers had to put up with me.

[Anyway.] Where should we meet?

You're not that bad. [He's sure.] I'm heading out now, unless you want to meet me outside of the university you can tell me where you are instead. [He doesn't mind either.]

Let's meet outside the university. I'm not very far from it. Catch you there, sir?

Ah- just Garry. And I'll see you soon.

Okay then. Garry. See you!

[And as promised, there will be a young woman of about 18 standing outside the university against a wall. There's a houndoom at her side, curled up and resting, as well as a nidorino beside the houndoom.

They might've not had video chat up, but remembering what he looked like when he originally made his network post, Blue will certainly be keeping an eye out for him.]

[He tries not to take too long getting out. He leaves his classroom with one folder tucked carefully underneath his arm and Lette traveling on his shoulder as if she has a permanent spot there. Once outside he just sort of stands around a little awkwardly looking for his new friend.]

[He won't need to stand around awkwardly for long at al. As soon as she spots him, she gets up from the wall.]

Hi there, teach!

[And she adds a wave in when he sees her, a playful smile already on her face.] Looking for me?

[His hand raises in a return, small wave.] I think so. [It definitely sounded like the same girl from over the band, and who else would be waiting for him.] ...I don't think I got your name before, I'm sorry.

It's fine! [Before him, she puts out her hand.] I'm Blue, nice to meet you.

[And a look to his companion.] And you too. That's a beautiful flower.

You too, Blue. [Committing her name to memory now as he shakes her hand. But a small glance to his shoulder.]

That's Lette. [Floette gives a little happy sound and a bow.]

Oh! A beautiful name too...! [She gives a bow of her head, and a little laugh after.

Well, back to paying attention to Garry.] Did you want to walk and talk? Standing outside work can't be any fun.

[Clearly he hadn't been thinking much about it but nods.] Sure. [But before moving.] Are they with you? [Looking over at the pokemon she'd brought with her. They're close enough to assume so but one can never be sure.]
