 [Paprika is perched on the steps of the Nacrene City Pokemon Center, definitely looking a little less perky than usual.  She's holding what appears to be a dark blue hairband loosely in one hand, and is propping her chin up with the other.  Seated on her Trainer's lap, Nugget croons in encouragement, but receives only a halfhearted pat on the head in return.]

Man, I'm sorry, I totally suck at this, don't I?

[Despite obviously not being in good spirits, she still laughs weakly and manages a good smile.  Somebody's just learned firsthand why Lenora is so infamous amongst Unova's Trainers.]

[A beat.]

Does being a breeder mean you make, like, labradoodles with Pokemon and stuff?

[ Picturing combinations of Pokémon now. ]

Not really. From what I've read the eggs will be what one of the parents is. It's kinda weird.

Woah, definitely not what they taught us in freshman year Bio, man.

[She's just not going to ask about the actual act of breeding between Pokemon. Hot Skitty on Wailord action.]

[mediocrespells]

No kidding. Pokémon are just that special I guess.

[ Lucky for Hazel no one ever seems to actually see the Pokémon doing that stuff. A mystery forever.]

action

[noplaidshirt]

Yeah, uh, special.

[Really not something she wants to think about too hard. Ew.]

So're you traveling all by yourself?

[ Hazel didn't even think of it when she signed up for the breeding. It's just not where her mind goes... She still hasn't actually thought of it. ]

Only if you don't count Pokémon. [ Cloud's close enough for a one armed hug so, she'll give him one. ] Not really comfortable enough with anyone to want to travel with them.
