[Hilbert figures the booth is small, and she must be uncomfortable with these new things too... So he puts it down as that and pokes her back with his shoe. It's cool.

Brush aside, yesss he knew it. He grins at Morgiana, then at the waitress.]

For me, too! And some butter, please? [To Morgiana:] Butter's always on steaks in Unova and it tastes darn good, so I figure it should apply here too.

[And only after the waitress leaves will he be digging through his pack to take out a folded up piece of paper, waving it slightly. She should be able to figure out what it is.]

[If only Morgiana knew what she had been doing she would of been very flustered. To others it would of seemed as if they were playing footsies!!] butter? [She had no idea what it even was but she gave a small nod. She would atleast give it a try.]

[At the slight nudge back to her foot she gives Hilbert a brief confused look. I wonder what that was about.. Taking note of the map, she shifts to slide over to the others side, shoulder bumping against his. Gently she takes the map from his hands, smooths it out on the table and let's her eyes roam it with curiosity.] Wow its big.. [She let her finger trace some shapes on the paper as she leaned in more, strands of vibrant red hair fluttering over her shoulders and face from her movements.] We really don't have a map for my world.

[Hell yes Unova is impressive, and it's written all over to boot ~~shh I just wanted to show off my work~~. Hilbert watches her lean over it, then reaches his hand over and taps a little town at the bottom right of the map.]

That's my hometown, right there. Nuvema Town's only special attribute is that it's got the lab there - and it's now the home of the Unova Champion! [Another thing he'd have to explain, but he doesn't mind.] Why don't you really have a map for your world? Is it that big?

You must have nice memories..[She leaned back against the seat she was in fingers still idly tracing shapes on the map. Why was it that she felt so jealous of him for a second? Maybe because shes didn't remember much of her own homeland or family?]

I'm sure there are maps from our world somewhere..but I haven't seen one yet. So that could be it. [She gently folded the map and sets it aside before scooting to give Hilbert some space. Her eyes stared up at the ceiling as she lost herself in thought - So much that she barely registered that the young waitress came back to their table with their food until the sound of plates hitting the table broke her from her daze.] Oh..Thank you. [She gives a nod and tugs her plate a little closer, staring at the steaming piece of meat. Sure shes has meat before back at home but it never looked anything like this. She clumsily grabbed at her fork and knife but she was unsure of how to go about eating it.] How do you..? [She motioned to her steak with a small embarrassed look on her face as she glances up at Hilbert.]

[He grins, taking the map and slipping it back into his bag, and nods to the waitress in thanks too. Mmmm. It looks edible. Good.]

Okay, personally I just cut big pieces like this... [Taking his fork and knife, he cuts a chunk off and waves it.] But it's all to your own pace. There's no special way to eating something like this, unlike ice cream or Oreo cookies.

[Hilbert demonstrates, putting the fork in his mouth and taking the piece of steak. Nice and clean. He cuts a slightly smaller piece off of Morgiana's steak and holds out it out to her, meat towards her. Eating off of someone else's fork isn't a crime. Hopefully.]

[When the piece of meat is offered to her on the fork, Morgiana does the only thing she knows how to do. She leans forward and gracefully snatches the piece of food away from the utensil while Hilbert is still holding onto it. Way to go you just fed her. She leans back and chews, cheeks flushing a dark red.] It's good. [She mumbles after swallowing the mouthful. This steak was juicy and it had spices in it that brought out the flavor even more. Shes had meat before but nothing like this.]

[Figuring she could try it herself she takes the fork out of the male's hands along with the knife as she stares down at her food. After successfully cutting a piece (although its kind of sloppy) she sends Hilbert a small smile.] Thanks. You know for..teaching me this. And bringing me here. I'm having fun. [As she took a small sip of her water and begins to eat her food, she let her eyes stare out into the window situated above their heads. The sky was dark and gloomy as ever and that kind of thing would of depressed anyone but not Morgiana. Knowing her friend was here with her made everything a bit better.]

[Good, that's what he was aiming for! Her blush is wonderful. He grins, shaking his head.]

It's no problem. I like making friends. And I'm glad you're having fun, because I am too. I don't get to go out with people too often.

[That's going to change in the future, now that he's not actively training his Pokémon to leave his home region and just has Eeks to worry about, but right now is Morgiana time and also eating. This steak really is good.]</small<

I've never had the chance to just spend some time to myself back home. I always just traveled to get to the Dark Continent. [Now that she has the whole cutting a steak thing down, she continues to happily eat legs crossed together. She sips on her water as she takes a glance at Hilbert.]

You never have much time either right? Because of your..pokemon thing? [Morgiana was still curious to see one up close. She was hopeful that it happened once they finished eating their food. Returning back to her plate she cuts up another piece and promptly stuffs it in her mouth to chew.]

[He debates the question, and nods.]

There's a ton of training involved with honing a Pokémon's skill. Plus the routes are kind of empty, except for the Trainers who train there. All the excitement's in the towns and cities. And I don't tend to really hang around those too much except if there's something to do.

[He shrugs. Surprisingly, Hilbert isn't that good with crowds and the like. He prefers one-on-ones and being around tons of people wears him out. Not that he'd say this, or try to make it show, because people generally though of extroverts as more friendly and introverts more anti-social. ~~It's tough keeping appearances but he's been doing this for years!~~]

Oh..[Her face turns thoughtful here as her fork idly taps on the plate. She stares down and she is surprised at how much is left. Wow had she really been that hungry? She stabs the last piece of her meat (while making sure not to extort too much force) as the piece goes into her mouth to chew. She might be a girl but she could eat like any man could.]

[With a small sigh she leans back to sip at her drink, fingers letting the fork clatter against the plate.] Thank you for the meal. [She inclines her head in a bow before returning her gaze back to Hilbert.] After this do you think you can..show me your pokemon? I really want to see it.

[He's honestly impressed by her, considering he's half-done himself. Because he's been talking more than eating, but... Yeah. He'll cut up pieces for fast disposal into his stomach and nod.]

Oh, definitely. Eeks has been dying to meet you properly. [The only thing that's keeping the Rotom from doing it right now is that it's actually in its Pokéball instead of Hilbert's tablet. After he ~~stuffs~~ eats the rest of his steak, he'll do the paying stuff (and leave a generous tip courtesy of Unova upbringing) and motion her along outside.]

[With a small bow of goodbye to the waitress who attended to them, she follows after Hilbert satisfied with the meal she had. She lets her eyes roam around and with her fingers she tugs on the edges of his sleeve, her finger pointing.] Let's go there. [It was a bit far off from the buildings and there was enough space for them to move around. She also wanted to try something. She needed his permission first.]

There is something I want to experiment with Eeks if that's alright? Once you let it out. I want to try my battle cry on it. It won't do any damage I promise. [If anything the pokemon would just be terrified, startled or stunned since that is what it's main use was for. Morgiana was hoping her cry would still work on creature like pokemon as well.] If you want you can let it know it's just something I want to test out. Make it come at me with the intent to attack.

[That sounds amazing.]

Alright, sure. He's pretty fast though, so you'll have to keep an eye out for him. And Pokémon aren't used to attacking humans so... I don't know if he'll do it. [Hilbert grasps Eek's ball from his jacket pocket, enlarging it with a click of the button in the middle, and with another 'click' the Rotom appears.]

Eeks, Morgiana. Morgiana, Eeks. [Eeks gives a happy screech in greeting.] She wants to show us something, so I want you to go at her with... Say, Electro Ball. It'll be fine.

[The Pokémon hesitates, since they're not meant to attack humans, but trusts Hilbert and flies a little ways away to wait for his signal.]

I'll be a little ways away. [To Morgiana. Once he gets her okay, he'll move away a yard or so and wait for her to be ready. He didn't know if it took concentration or anything like that, after all.]

Alright. [The Fanalis was thankful that Hilbert had a slightly open mind to new things - She hadn't been sure if he would of allowed her to do this experiment on his partner. It takes Morgiana all of her concentration to not gawk in amazement at the sight of the pokemon. It was really amazing looking. She gives a small nod and gives herself and Hilbert's partner some distance.]

[Once she calculates the distance accordingly she studies Eeks, head raised up.] I'm ready!

[He knows his team can take whatever's thrown at them - and it's that trust that marks him as one of (and perhaps the) strongest Trainer in Unova.

Hilbert nods to Eeks and the Rotom charges up a ball of yellow electricity about the same size as it, shooting towards Morgiana with it in front of itself. While most Pokémon would simply launch it from where they were, Rotom's size caused it to have a little downfall in that area and so Hilbert's gotten him used to using its speed as momentum for the Electro Ball. It isn't a problem considering its speed, but... The Pokémon still isn't used to the thought of attacking a human and hesitates in actually going as fast as it would.]

[As soon as she spots the ball of electricity going towards her she easily dodges as she takes a few steps forward. She stops and takes in a heaving breath as her head lifts with the momentum. As she whips her head out, she releases an inhumane piercing cry (think of it almost as a high-frequency pitch of sound) that causes a gust of wind and dirt to whip at both Eeks and Hilbert from the force rather violently.]

[If her battle cry indeed worked on her friend's pokemon it would either want to return back to it's pokeball or stop battling with her all together. Her attack was meant to instill fear into creatures no matter what they were; big or small or of a different species. The stance she was in relaxes as she finally breaths out softly, head tilted to the side in a questioning manner towards the two.] What do you think?

[Oh, Eeks is definitely heading back to Hilbert. And hiding behind him. It doesn't want to fight anymore Hilbert you said it'd be fine that girl shrieked like a-- a-- a something! It doesn't even know!

Hilbert himself is super impressed, mouth agape and eyes wide. Once the question sinks in, he grins and claps loudly. He's also speaking rather loudly, because that caused quite a big of ringing in his ears and he's a tad hard of hearing. It'll return slowly.]

That was amazing, Morgiana! It's like my Rotta's powerful howl! A Samurott - that's what Rotta is - has a howl that can silence and scare even the biggest of foes! Wow.

[The praise certainly does make the girl feel flattered and it shows with the small blush that forms on her cheeks, or the way she sheepishly makes her way over.] Really? I've used it two times back home. It was useful to scare away animals bigger than me.

Anyways..Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. [She takes a peek over at where Eeks is hiding behind Hilbert and her face turns even more flustered.] Ah..I'm sorry. I hope it didn't scare you too much. I just wanted to see if it worked. [The poor pokemon must of been spooked out of it's mind. It's probably never heard of a human that had such a frightening high pitched cry before. Then again the Fanalis weren't very much human like to begin with with their strength and heightened senses. If she had been in Hilbert's worlds no doubt that someone would of assumed she was some sort of pokemon and human experiment.]

I should of warned you about your ears possibly ringing..sorry about that. [She reaches over and gently rubs Hilbert's cheeks and ears before her hands lower.]

[No doubt indeed, especially with what Team Plasma had been trying to cook up - a revival of an ancient Pokémon with the addition of a laser on its back! - and Hilbert's glad they're on the same side. Eeks is too, and it floats to sit on Morgiana's shoulder as its Trainer flushes at her treatment.]

It's-- It's fine. I mean, it's not that bad. I'm okay. You've got quite the pair of lungs for a girl your size.

[It's pretty comparable to Reshiram, he thinks. Except that beast's roar was beautifully terrifying - this was just impressively horrifying.]

Alright. If you say you are fine.. [She couldn't help but be worried still. She never though of how her battle cry would affect a human if it had ever been directed at them. Morgiana had assumed Hilbert would move out of the way but he stayed by his pokemon's side through it.

She notices how he flushes but she chooses not to comment on it as she sends the male a smile, her fingers reaching up to gently pet at Eek when it makes her shoulder it's resting place.] Big lungs huh? Uhm..What do you want to do now? [She still didn't feel like going back to her apartment yet.]

[A Trainer stays by his partner's side no matter the danger. That's the first unspoken rule of being in this sort of relationship.

What to do now though... Hilbert composes himself as he thinks.]

I guess we could walk around, or something. There's supposed to be a library I've been meaning to check out in the Hold. If you don't mind.

The library? No I don't mind if we go there. [Morgiana has been wanting to look up some books to read about what happened to this place or what it looked like previously anyways. She was thankful for knowing how to read even if it wasn't very well.]

I don't know where the library is. So would you lead the way? [Her hands clasp behind her back as she patiently waits, Eeks letting out a sound of agreement with the girl.]

No problem at all! I've got a great sense of direction. [If he knows where he's going, anyway. Hilbert grins reassuringly and gestures for them to follow.

(Unfortunately for them, it would be a while until they got there.)]

Alright. [She murmured softly. As they walked her fingers would gently pet at Eeks. He felt so weird. Letting out a yawn she shuffled until her shoulder was brushing against Hilbert.] What are you going to look up on in the library?

[She lets her arms drop to her side as her face turns blank.] I would look up things too but..[She hesitates here as she glances away, not being able to look her friend in the eye.] I know how to read it's just..I don't know how to read big words. [Growing up as a slave didn't have many opportunities.]

[Eeks purrs (?) at her pets, and Hilbert listens to Morgiana's plight. It must be because of her past... Well, he doesn't mind being a teacher.]

I'm going to look up stuff about this place myself, and look around to see what others they've got. Wouldn't it be cool if the Initiative had books from our homes too? I could show you all the Pokémon you'd ever want to see! And... Don't worry about the big words and all, I'm here to help.

[He smiles softly, bumping his shoulder against hers a little.]
