He'd answered the babysitting ad more as a favour than anything else, and as a way to make some quick cash to fund his research.[break][break]

Florian approaches the Mauville suite with his Sylveon in tow, opting to take the stairs rather than the elevator. It's all very high-class and reminds him of Kalos, of home. He's running late; his Togekiss wasn't in flying condition after developing a cold thanks to the winter weather, and that same weather had made it difficult to get here on time. He thinks he's only a few minutes late, but that still wasn't good![break][break]

There's someone already at the door when he arrives, and he's opening his mouth to ask if she's the homeowner when the apartment door opens to reveal a very flustered, very irate looking woman with a gaggle of kids trailing behind her.[break][break]

"I thought you weren't coming," she snaps at him, "so I called someone else. You can sort it out between the two of you, I have to go."[break][break]

And so they're left alone, two strangers in an awkward situation with young children staring at them through an open door and quite a predicament to solve. He wasn't even that late! He'd even texted the woman to let her know about the hold-up in his commute, but it seems she either hadn't checked or didn't care.[break][break]

"I, ah, I'm sorry about this," he says softly to the girl. "I would be more than happy to leave the job to you, but — I can still help, if you like. There's, ah..." He drops his voice low so as not to be overheard by the children, "There are more of them than I had thought."[break][break]

He offers a hand. "Florian Laurel."

A deep sigh escaped from the brunette's soft, pink lips as she held her cell phone up against her ear and rested her backside up against her bedroom wall. "I am sorry, but I already promised someone that I would look after their kids today. Besides, I could really use this extra money right now, since I am planning on opening up my own business at some point." Reagan spoke, her piecing azure eyes glancing over at the floor underneath her feet as she converse with her a friend, who was attempting to persuade her to bail out of her job just so that she would be able hang out with him for the night. "We can hang out tomorrow and I promise that I will not cancel on this point." She added as a soft smirk curved against her lips. Luckily, her response seemed to have been more than enough for the male to feel somewhat satisfied with her answer.

After Reagan had ended her phone call, she would then focus on adding her last few items to her bag. The young nurse and fairly-type specialist would then grab her cell phone and bag before heading towards her door. She had packed a some board games, a couple of children's books and some snacks that most kids seem to enjoy eating, which she often baked for them. "Okay Harley, we have to get going right now or else we're going to end up running late and that wouldn't he good." She stated, glancing back at the Mime Jr., standing next to her. She would lower her bag own towards the bottom of the floor a bit, just enough for Harley hop inside of her bag with her belongings. Reagan and Harley made their way outside of their home, hoped on their bike and followed the path leading towards their destination.

A few more minutes had passed by before Reagan ad Harley found themselves arriving in front of their destination. She gave the doorbell a quick ring. A lady a few years older than her answered the door and flashed her a warm and welcoming smile. "Hello, my name is Reagan and I'm here to fill in for that babysitter position." Reagan greeted the mother, flashing her a wide smile and a friendly wave. Harley soon mimicked his trainer's mannerism, greeting the older women with an adorable smile and friendly wave of his own. "Thank you for giving me an opportunity to look after your children." She spoke in a gentle tone as she continued to smile at the other woman. She would readjust the bag hanging from her a shoulder a bit then turn her attention back towards the the mother. "Where are the children?" She asked, somewhat curious and excited about meeting the children. However, before the mother could address her, she noticed a slight change in the mother's attitude as an unfamiliar male approached him. Apparently, he was supposed to be the babysitter that had flaked on the job.

Reagan stood off the side quietly, as she watched the exchange between the mother and the unfamiliar man. For a few seconds, Reagan felt a little bad about the scolding that the mother was giving the man. However, at the same time she felt her frustration. Luckily, the man seemed to have been able to control his own emotions in a professional manner. A few more passed had passed and the mother had made her exit, leaving the two strangers along to make the decision of who actually gets to take on the babysitting job. "Ah, it's okay. You know, I think that it would be a goo idea for the two of us to work together. The more the merrier, right? I'm Reagan by the way and this little guy right here is Harley." She replied with a smile as she introduced herself and the Mime Jr., hanging out in her bag. "Are you ready to go meet the children?" She asked Florlan, flashing him a warm and sweet smile as he waited for his response.

The young woman introduces herself as Reagan, and she at least does not seem angry at him. Residual anxiety still crashes over him in waves after the mother's retreat; he's caught between the guilt and the frustration that she hadn't replied to his text messages indicating he'd be running late. He understood why she'd phoned someone else, but why hadn't she told him?[break][break]

Regardless, it's not Reagan's fault.[break][break]

His discomfort melts away at the sight of 'Harley', the adorable little fairy-type lounging in Reagan's bag.[break][break]

"Oh, aren't you precious?" Mr. Mime could be a little creepy at times, but Mime Jr. was just plain cute. The fact that its evolutionary line were fairies made it even better! "This is my Sylveon, Joli."[break][break]

The ribboned creature looks up at Reagan and her Pokemon, then trills something to the Mime Jr. that the trainers wouldn't understand. Florian thinks it must be something pleasant, however, because his Pokemon's posture is relaxed and his blue eyes are wide and friendly.[break][break]

"Thank you for understanding, Reagan. I would love to meet them; I'm guessing you already have?" From the sounds of things, she'd had a few minutes to get acquainted before he'd rushed up all flustered and late. "Please, introduce me."

Reagan's soft azure eyes soon glanced away from Florian and focused towards the extremely adorable Mime. Jr., sitting inside other bag. She could not help, but to feel her heart start to grow slightly warmer after noticing the excitement in Florian's eyes due to being drawn to Harley. The Mime Jr. let out a soft and playful giggle as he attempted to reach out to the blonde-haired male for a few seconds before turning his attention back towards the other items being carried around in his trainer's bag. "Aww, thank you! Harley is actually one of the first Pokemon to join my party during the start of my journey." She stated with a soft smile. She would then shift her attention towards the stunning Sylveon standing not too far away from Florian. "Aww! He's so pretty! I can't wait to capture a Sylveon of my own me someday!" She replied staring in awe at the mystical fairy-type Pokemon.

Harley had managed to stop moving around inside of Reagan's bag and turned his attention towards the Sylveon, too. The baby mime Pokemon's eyes widened with excitement and matching his trainer's facial expression for a little while before saying a couple of kind words back to the Sylveon "I suppose that you're also a lover of fairy-type Pokemon, too?" Reagan spoke, another light smile starting to across against her sweet lips.

"No worries, Florian. I am just happy that we're going to get a chance to work together. The little ones can be quite the hand full or I've been told." She giggled softly, removing a couple strands of her brown hair away from her face. "Ah, yes. We should definitely go inside and get you introduced to the children right away." She agreed with a smile before opening the door and allowing Florian to step inside first before following after him and then closing the door behind them. "Amelia, Alfie and Alex! Come on downstairs, please!" She called out to the triplets.

It was not too much longer before a small herd of children could be heard stampeding down the stairs and making their way towards Reagan and Florian. "Amelia, Alfie and Alex, I would like for you all to meet the other babysitter, Mr. Florian. He is going to be helping me out with looking after you all." She stated with a soft smile. Amelia is wearing a pink dress with a matching pink bow attached to her hair. She appears to be a sweet little angel so far. Alfie is wearing a blue t-shirt with matching pair of blue framed eye glasses. He appeared to a little shy, but quite observant, seeing that his eyes were locked on Florian and Joli. The last kid, Alex is wearing a red t-shirt and a matching red baseball hat, which he decided to turn backwards on his head. He stands in front of the duo with his feet tapping against the floor. So far, he seems to be quite impatient and potentially ill-tempered.

"Joli was my first as well! Though he was only an Eevee, then."[break][break]

His fond smile compliments a distant expression as his thoughts stray back to the early days. He owed a lot to his Sylveon, and he grins wide as Reagan's compliment of the ribboned Pokemon draws him back to the present.[break][break]

"That is his name, in fact," he laughs. "Joli. Kalosian for 'pretty'. It was not meant to be a name, but it stuck." Really, it had been a term of affection, the same way he called his Pokemon darlings. But Joli wouldn't answer to any other name. "Oh, yes, I adore fairies. I am a professor! Fairy-types are my chosen field of study."[break][break]

He allows Reagan to take the lead as they head inside, and he smiles at the children when they thunder down the stairs.[break][break]

"Allo, children! It is lovely to meet you all."[break][break]

Noticing Alfie's eyes on him, Joli pads up to the shy member of the trio in order to greet him. Alex seems to take offense to not being the center of attention, however, and he reaches out and tugs at one of Joli's ribbons.[break][break]

Florian winces at his partner's cry of pain, nails digging into his palm.[break][break]

"Oh, please don't do that!" Alex turns an indignant gaze on him. He doesn't let go, and Joli casts a nervous look up at his trainer. "I know those look like ribbons, but they're actually a part of him! It would be like someone tugging on your hair!"

A sweet smile curved against Reagan's lips as she listened to Florian explain the origin of his Pokemon's nickname. "Joli huh? I like it! It is in fact the perfect name for him!" She stated turning her attention back towards the Sylveon. She would explained Harley's nickname, but she figured that it was self explanatory for the most part. Most people knew that Harley is just play on the word harlequin. Reagan soon felt her deep azure eyes light up and she shifted her attention towards the older male the second she heard that him mention that he is a Pokemon professor that specializes in fairy-type Pokemon. "Awesome! You are the first person in this region that I have met, who shares my interest in fairy-type Pokemon." She added with a wide grin spreading across her mouth. Perhaps, she could ask him about some of the research that he has collected regarding fairy-types, but for now the two of them would have to focus on caring for the triplets.

Alfie watched as the Sylveon started to make his way over towards him. At first, the shy little kid appeared to be a little hesitate of the Sylveon approached him. However, it did not take too long for Alfie to start warming up around Joli, after noticing that the Pokemon seem to have a gentle spirit. A soft giggled escaped from Alfie's mouth as he extended his right hand out slowly to gently rub the Sylveon's head. Amelia watched as the Sylveon padded up against Alfie. She carefully took few graceful skips towards the fairy-type to examine his pretty ribbons. "They're so pretty! Almost like the bow that I'm wearing!" Amelia stated between a couple of soft giggles as she continued to admire the ribbons. However, the innocent interaction between two of the kids and the Sylveon were soon interrupted by their envious brother the moment he decided to pull and tug on Joli's ribbons. Alfie quickly fled and took cover behind Reagan while Amelia took a few steps away from Alex and Joli, placing her hands on her hips as she gives Alex a deadly glare. "Stop it Alex, you're hurting him!" She shouted out in an upset tone. Meanwhile, Reagan found herself winching at the sight happening before them. She was about to speak out and scold Alex for his behavior until she felt Alfie clinging to her legs. "Aww, it is okay sweetie." She stated calmly as she started to coddle him.

Luckily, Florian managed to keep his composure and was able to speak quite calmly to Alex as he attempted to persuade the child to let go of the ribbons. Alex would continue to stared back at Florian, as if he was attempting to challenge his authority. However, after growing bored of pulling the Sylveon's ribbons Alex decided to let them go. A quick sigh relief then left both Reagan and Amelia's lips. "Kids, how about we all decide on something fun and safe to do?" Reagan suggested with a smile. The triplets quickly regrouped and huddled together to brainstorm ideas. While the kids were brainstorming, Reagan took the opportunity to walk over to check on Joli and Florian. "Is everything okay?" She asked in a concerned tone.

"Ah, really?" He's delighted to be the first kindred spirit that Reagan has encountered in a region that was, apparently, new to them both. So-called 'experts' were a dime a dozen back in Kalos, where the fairy-type had been akin to a craze, but the professor's noticed that the other regions seem far less obsessed. "You may want to seek out Miss Alfric, as well! She is the gym leader here in Mauville, and she has many fairy-types!"[break][break]

Grass, as well, but it wasn't difficult to find information on one of the most common types.[break][break]

Perhaps Joli is drawn to Alfie because he senses something of Florian in the young boy: unbeknownst to most, the Sylveon was a support Pokemon, and he'd helped his trainer through the most trying of times. He was well-trained in recognizing human emotions and behavior patterns. Perhaps this is also why he shies away from Alex when the rough triplet lets go. There is an aggression within the boy that the Sylveon cannot appreciate the way he warms up to Amelia and Alfie.[break][break]

Florian crouches next to his partner and carefully takes his ribbons in hand, checking the Sylveon over for injuries. He looks up and smiles hesitantly at Reagan, distress clear in his expression.[break][break]

"I-I think he'll be fine," he says, with a brief glance toward the triplets. "He's just not used to people being so rough."[break][break]

Joli lets out a soft, almost sad trill of agreement as Florian scratches him behind the ears and stands. "Is Alfie OK?"[break][break]

Joli hadn't been the only one to notice the boy's shy temperament.
