With a graceful bow toward her, he lifts his head slightly upward towards her to smile at her warmly. "Then after you, Celeste. I'll be right behind you."
"Well it would feel like a shame to pass up this opportunity, wouldn't it?" He gently squeezes her hand, still holding it from before. "Care to sit and chat?"
Rose has no idea what he was expecting when she lead him across the woods, but it certainly wasnt this and he has no complaints. He finds himself in momentary silent awe. "Did... you arrange all of this?" He asks, clearly impressed
she guides him through a heavily wooded area—for quite some time. . . before finally coming to a stop in a clearing. a tent is set up within the clearing, but most notably, the trees are decorated with web-silk. water droplets seems to be perfectly placed, catching the moonlight.
BIG NEWS GUYS! I'm officially going to Uva Academy! Uncle Peony helped me enroll earlier this month and I actually got accepted! Today's the day I move into my dorm and get settled into Paldea!
Wish me luck, I'm a little nervous.
Also, do you guys like my new haircut?
It's a really fancy looking Copperajah head with a pair of flowers underneath that have my late wife and my daughter's name underneath.
I always liked the idea of Pokemon themed tattoos, especially those on my team, if that helps give you any ideas!
Well you'd be able to join me in
the fathers-with-cool-tattoos club!
(It's me. I'm the only other person
I know in this club I just made up)
What sort of tattoo are you thinking of?
— He looks around them for a moment thoughtfully before stepping forward confidently. "I know how to get to the city from here if you don't mind a bit of a walk as we chat with each other."
"Oh! no no, my apologies! 💧"
"I didn't think of how intrusive that actually might sound, I was trying to come up with a solution for you to be comfortable without thinking it through. But a cafe sounds lovely, and I'm more then happy to take you!" —
"I'd be happy to start anywhere. I am curious where you're from and where you grew up as well, since I know your Pokemon doesn't seem to be from here." He was more then happy to listen for as long as she spoke.
"Would you prefer to sit at your camp and get comfortable?"
"I'm glad to hear that, because that's exactly why I'm so invested in this arrangement myself." straightening himself out, he stands up from the tree. "I personally believe already that you are far more interesting then I could ever be. I deeply and truly want to learn more."
“i was quite serious,” she assured him, head tilting. “at the very least i think you’re an interesting man, and would like to get to know you.” her voice is soft as she picks up her violin case, offering him a warm smile.
