 [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.]

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.]

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.
