[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

The prim and proper Gym Leader let out a small laugh that sound a lot like the bell that she rang earlier, and politely nodded their head at you. "The Flower Festival is always a hectic time, for both the Gym, the City Council, and the Police, as we all try to coordinate to create an experience that is both unique, exciting, memorable, and fun, but all without it devolving into chaos or it becoming prey to criminal organizations like Team Rocket," she says, her tone becoming clipped as she dropped the name of your home team, before she took another sip of her tea. "But I have my own ways of dealing with the strain generated by this wonderful event, among my other duties and obligations as Celadon City's Gym Leader. The fact that Team Rocket is trying to spite me and everyone else attempt to just enjoy the Flower Festival, among my other concerns, certainly make my own duties much more difficult, but I am confidant in my ability to fulfil all that is asked of me, and still remain as I have always have been: calm, collected, and compassionate to all. I appreciate your concern, though, sir. Not many ask about my wellbeing, and while its unnecessary, I find it a welcome surprise. Since you asked me as to how I was, its only proper that I do the same. Have you been enjoying the Flower Festival this year, or has anything happened that has caused you distress?"

Another smile from Reiner. "I've been enjoying the festival so far myself.  I'm not usually much for socializing, so my interactions with the festivities have been rather limited, but you would not believe just how much joy it's brought me.  Well, there's also been some downsides, but ultimately, I think it's been good for me in a lot of ways so far."  

While saying all this, he carefully and discretely flips the top of his bag open.  Time to see how sharp Erika's sense of smell is...no need to bring up the Balm Mushroom directly yet, but the strong smell alone should be enough to pique her curiosity...
