Her smile widened ever so slightly.
"Now we're talkin', Stevie!"
She's not dropping the fucking nickname, nope!
"Thinking too much will make your brain melt. I found the best places I've ever seen just while walking around a random town I ended up droppin' in after skydiving, actually. In fact--"
--she pulls out her phone!
"Want me to roll? Right now. No backsies."
Ooh. Spotaneity and impulsivity. A roll of the dice as to where they'd be off too. He liked that thought.
"...Actually, that sounds like a fun idea! Why should we have to decide when we can have the world do it for us?"
…a blink, followed by a snort.
"Well, damn. And here I thought I'd avoid paparazzi if I came in this early."
She squints, tilting her head on the side. Hold oooon.
"…ain't you the Kahuna's kid? Think I saw ya on TV some months ago."
She didn't answer. Not for anything in particular. She just forgot to.
Aaaand he waves back! This person seems familiar...
"Uhhh not much! What's up with you?"
He had been hanging about the port, yearning for a dip in the water... but he couldn't with his brand new tattoo. "You... Do you have a bond with a strong Pokémon?"
Was that weird to ask right out of the gate?
they say we are what we are, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO BE

"Funny you say that"
Give her a second to rummage through her pockets… where did she put--
"Ah."
At last! She pulls out a grand total of FOUR Ice Stones, smirking while she shoves them in Steven's hands.
"You're welcome."
"Alola? Sounds wonderful. Find any new partners out there? Get any of those Ice Stones that are common around there? I've got one or two, but a few more for collection purposes would be ideal!"
Ah yes, rock discussion. If a stone could be inserted into conversation it always would be.
Especially if it helped avoid work talk.
"Ayuuup! I relax just fine everyday, I just wanted some extra spice, you know?"
Sometimes you have to dive in new seas, climb new volcanoes, get lost in new woods… and sleep in new beds!
"From Hoenn, actually. Surfed on a few Sharpedos back at home, but from what I heard Mantines are much easier to deal with, yea?" a calm chuckle "But if you have any tips, I'll be ready to take some notes."
Holy shit this woman had some power in her. He'd have to ask for some work-out tips later.
"Oh, heck yeah! So active activities and battling? Sounds right up my alley, actually."
At the mention of Mantine surfing he chuckles. "It's actually pretty fun! Can give you some tips if you want? But honestly, I doubt you'd need them." She looked like she'd rock the waves with ease. "Where are you from originally?"
