[attr=class,bulk][break]Stepping a pace or so apart, the group welcomes two more into the fold, allowing Derek to greet and be greeted by the lady in question. "Oh, thanks for saving me the trouble. I was just asking about you." Finally being able to put a name to the face was satisfying, and also made things easier. "I'm Derek Hoffman."

[break][break]

So far, so good for introductions, right? Wrong. Now came his mistake. And right when his hand reached for Illeana's own... "Pleased to—" Derek noticed a pair of very small mittens tucked in her other hand, which Illeana hadn't been wearing as they reached out. This little distraction impaired his judgment of how far Derek needed to reach, or where, ultimately allowing for it to reach for something else.

[break][break]

Her booba.

[break][break]

Jerking back by the arm, it was too late. The act had taken place. And what a feel it was! Though, by all accounts, his mind wasn't registering that part. Just the overwhelming embarrassment for what he just did in front of so many people!

[break][break]

Not to mention a minor. ARCEUS: FBI OPEN UP!!!

[break][break]

"I—I—I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to—" He wouldn't dare try using the mittens as an excuse, even if it was true. But the next time he saw mittens? Pure trauma...

She wouldn't know for sure given the conniving andd scheming nature of some adults, or well, the blank expressions some of them carry at times but she knows that the people here aren't exactly at each other's throat yet!
[break][break]
"Yeah! The Cutiefly kinda... choked Flash out."
[break][break]
Even now, she winces at the thought. And so does Reiner, making a retching face as he turns his head to the side.
[break][break]
"You should have seen him at the tournament though!" Eris grins, straightening her posture as she points off into the distance. Then with the clearing of her throat, she mimics 's voice to the best of her abilities (though it comes nowhere close to the actual thing). "Battle routine set. Execute. Kinda thing!"
[break][break]
Not even a second after her impression does she break character, squishing her own cheeks as if it would help chase away the serious look she had to copy.
[break][break]
"I know Mars really well though! We went to fight demons in a haunted church basement once and almost died!"
[break][break]
Even now, she's still a little confused as to what exactly had happened, but she won't linger on it for long when she bears witness to 's slip-up. She stares in silence, then squints and directs her gaze to the ground as she scratches her chin, visibly lost in some series of mental gymnastics. Then finally, she looks to Mars with utmost earnesty.

A Cutiefly.
[break][break]
By Eris’ reaction, she had probably been shocked when the events described had occurred, but Mars isn’t foolish enough to expect someone like to take it easy on a kid during a tournament. Then again, he probably had, considering he had used a Cutiefly and not something like, say… Tapu Fini.
[break][break]
A well-earned nickname, then.
[break][break]
”Sounds like a difficult battle, but you should expect things like those in that sort of situation. Can’t underestimate a pokémon because of its size, Eris.” Calm words spoken with a slight smile, since after all, had probably signed up to participate in the tournament on her own accord. She had put her pokémon in the position of having to fight against others, so hopefully it had at least been a good learning opportunity for the girl.
[break][break]
But then there’s Fernando’s question about them being on a first name basis, and when Eris responds before he can do as much, Mars chuckles at the mention of the events that took place under the church ruins in Ever Grande. Definitely not something he wants to think about right now.
[break][break]
”Ha. Oh yeah, that’s a long story, but don’t worry… You can call me Mars too, if you want, Fernando. He smirks at the councilman, and thankfully, ’s actions (nefarious as they are) seem to distract from the topic before there’s any need for him to give any explanations regarding “fighting demons in a haunted church basement and almost dying”.
[break][break]
Are the rangers’ ranks full of degenerates?
[break][break]
With most people, that would be a sexual harrassment lawsuit waiting to happen.
[break][break]
He does no more than raise a brow, his attention soon returning to Eris when she questions the actions of the silver-haired man.
[break][break]
Nope, and it’s not something you should copy. Derek’s just being really weird.” The response is given nonchalantly and with a smile, even petting the girl’s head a few times to distract her. ”Did you see Remy dancing over there?”
[break][break]
And speaking of distracting her: what better way to do so than gossiping about ?

We won but then the Cutiefly tried to crawl through his windpipe... Mr Fur did kinda lecture me about how I could recall my pokemon to help them kinda untangle out of a bad situation!"
[break][break]
So at the end, she had come out learning something! Just not in the way one would expect!
[break][break]
"But Mars! It's a cool story! I was controlling fire in my hands all by myself and making it fly everywhere!" Even if she pouts slightly, she still lets him change the topic. After all, she hadn't been travelling with him, so her thoughts and experiences really needn't have matched up how he thought of the incident. Moreover, he's quick to throw all her trains of thoughts off the rails by directing her attention to a certain .
[break][break]
And with it, a certain .
[break][break]
Silence falls over her, dragging Reiner into the mix as he joins her in the gawking. The Luxray immediately stiffens, turning to yowl at Mars and crinkling his nose in disgust. Eris' face is entirely red, her hands grabbing tight to Mars' arm and shaking him fervently.
