The evening after his Mount Chimney rescue that only succeeded because of the superhuman efforts of MATIAS SILPH , Josh invited him to dinner at the Crimson Sun Restaurant and Bar, the only Alto Maren restaurant in all of Lavaridge Town. The only day-of reservation was 8 PM, the very last time slot before the restaurant closed at 10 PM. He hadn't had a thing to eat since before the mission. He was starving. Good thing, too; Alto Maren places were known for their large portion sizes.
The two were led to one of the back rooms, normally reserved for parties, but Josh didn't mind paying extra to use one of them, given the potentially sensitive subject matter he wanted to discuss with Matias. Once the two were seated, he was ready to order appetizers and beverages. "Can I get a lemonade to drink, and can we get a half-order of garlic bread, no cheese, and a half-order of pizza bread, please?" He waited for Matias to order his drink, making certain they were the only two in the room before Josh started talking to the standing member of the Elite Four.
"I appreciate you coming tonight, especially on such short notice," Josh thanked his partner from the dangerous mission. "I checked with the hospital the two young ones were taken to. They've been treated for extensive first and second degree burns, but should make a full recovery." As much as he wanted to let one of his Pokémon out to stretch and keep the two company, this room was much smaller than the rooms at the Beautifly and Dustox back at Fortree. Maybe his Jolteon could fit. Maybe.
"I'm sorry if this comes off as intrusive, but it's been burning in my mind since we got off the mountain." Josh's voice sounded better, at least; not perfect, but better. The lemonade was going to help, too, what with unlimited refills. He was going to go through a lot of it just to keep his throat cool. "When I asked who you were, I was more wondering how you got so close to that lava river without...y'know, melting? I took one breath of that air and thought I was gonna die." He just wanted a straight answer, but didn't expect to get one. "There's pushing human limits, and then there was...that."
