she grinned to the point that her cheeks ached slightly, deriving no small amount of amusement and enjoyment from the grope and his teasing.
"make sure to eat - and don't forget about taking out the trash," she said, tapping him lightly on the nose.
cait retrieved her bag that was filled with the usual items that were necessary for the brief trip, which included a poncho, a small meal to eat along the way, an extra pair of socks, pokeballs, gloves and a knife. she'd don a jacket, minding the nip in the air despite sénon easily dismissing it. her trip was a short one, the woman opting to walk the entirety of the way. she preferred to remain as active as possible, fancying her own trim figure.
when it came to her mentor and his wide selection, selecting an ideal team composition of her own was key. additionally, the former gym leader would need to have each pokemon cover for their comrade's weaknesses. the ground she chosen for the battle was a glade, which meant her water-types were at a disadvantage. the only ones she'd seriously consider being her feraligatr, inteleon, starmie and golisopod.
cait took in her immediate surroundings, contemplative as thoughts rolled within that head of hers. she had time to arrange and rearrange her selection, allotted at least several days. and with senon likely to be absent within two, it'd be a little bit easier to focus on the oncoming visit. she'd open her bag and laid out her poncho, reaching again to produce multiple pokeballs that rolled and stilled one by one.
after peering at them, she'd select one, certain of her first choice. venusaur appeared before her in a flash, releasing a low rumble of greeting.
"alright, girl. let's get started."

cait returned at roughly 3:15 pm, appearing worn as she reentered her cabin. she'd immediately make a beeline for the fridge, retrieving a fresh bottle of water for herself. guzzling it down with gusto, she just barely managed not to choke on the liquid as it rushed its way down her throat. she was slick with sweat, was breathing heavily and her ponytail appeared slightly messed.
she undid the tie which bound it, allowing her green mane to fall upon her shoulders in a thick wave of curls. cait reached into her pack, having allowed the unselected to return to their respective environments. there were six left, meaning she'd focus on them or make the necessary adjustments in the days to follow. but for now, she deserved a moment of reprieve.
a quick shower got rid of the layer of sweat as well as the potent scent of grass and upturned earth - cait happily cleaning her face and reapplying a lighter layer of makeup. she'd exit the bathroom and unceremoniously flop onto their bed, reaching for the phone she had initially left upon the nightstand. the woman kept her outfit simple and exceedingly comfortable, relieved to peel off the older layers.
flipping through her messages as she leaned against the headboard, she mulled over her blessedly loose schedule.
"where's your apartment again, sénon?"
she called out the inquiry, having yet to even glimpse the building. cait was genuinely curious of the man's accommodations, wondering how low, middle or high-class the area was. it would, at the very least, give her a bit more insight about the man, if nothing else.
