He had never been into pokemon battling himself, but watching it had been another story entirely. Maybe it was due to how much time he spent in poke centers once upon a time, or just that following gym challengers was starting to become big like it was in Galar. Regardless, he didn't remember seeking out Akira. Just that he'd started watching him. And it had sort of snowballed from there.[break][break]

Now he was at a meet and greet for trainer he'd watched fail his gym challenge. He'd been disappointed naturally, but he imagined it was ten times worse for his idol. Their failure had been broadcast on live television after all. Even so he wanted to offer his support. So when it's his turn, he's ready. He knows there's not nearly enough time for him to say everything he wants to say, and with his stuttering even less. He's not selfish enough to try either, not wanting to take away anyone's time with their fav. [break][break]

He gulped, stepping forward and offering a small bouquet of pink and red camellias, pretty round flowers that he'd found made him smile while waiting in the grocery store. There's also a letter that he's embarrassed to admit he'd written and rewritten 3 times. Ruslan flushed, already flustered just standing there but he forced himself to speak anyway. "M-My name is- is- Lana." Keep it short. Short was best, less room for error. A tip he'd learned after multiple ticks on his performances, the few contests he'd attempted. "W-We... I-...I'm s-s-sorry f-for your l-loss! B-But I- I um- I s-still admire you!" He's shaking like a leaf, petrified at being perceived, but this was important. If not for just wanting to meet your idol, then for making said idol feel a smidge better about their loss.
