Her sketch of Peanut was completed. She just needed to draw in more details, to give it that finished look. One of Vivan's flaws was not paying attention to her surroundings while she was working on something. The nearby sounds from Elisabeth and her Vivillion were drowned out - Vivan just believed that it was wild pokemon and natural noises from the forest.

The first to notice their presence was Peanut. The phanphy quickly stood up, captivated by Petal's vibrant pink wings. Peanut started chasing after her only to tire after a few moments of sprinting she was unable to match the speed of a Vivillion. Instead her attention went to the other trainer, Elisabeth. Phanphy's head tilted with interest, her trunk sniffing at Elisabeth curiously. Becoming increasingly intrigued with each sniff.

Vivan still was unaware however when a sudden shadow loomed over her, she glanced over her shoulder to see a Vivillion. It was slightly startling but a smile overcame her brief surprise. "Why Hello! You are so stunning." She marvels at Petal's wing color and design, remembering that each Vivillion had different characteristics. She notices Elisabeth's presence when she calls out the pokemon's name. "Oh, she's not a bother at all." Vivan reassures the blonde woman with a kind nod. "So Petunia is her name? It suits her very well, beautiful." She compliments, thinking of the flower which are known for their numerous bright colors.

Putting aside her sketch book, she walks over towards Elisabeth to introduce herself. But before that could happen, Peanut decided that she wanted attention from the pretty woman too. Scooping up as much leaves as she could with her trunk and then dropping them onto her shoes. Vivan's eyes widened with shock from what her pokemon just did. "Oh my goodness! Peanut, what did I tell you about bothering others?" Phanphy however seems to be rather unaware of any wrong she did.

Vivan chuckles nervously, "Sorry about her. Peanut is very playful and loves doing silly things." She explains hoping to have Elisabeth's understanding. "Other than that my name is Vivan Flores. Your Vivillion is very beautiful."

"I guess so" Vivan's face brightens with agreement. Her worries fading away with Elisabeth's gentle expression. Peanut observed Elisabeth closely, the phanpy's eyes still flickered excitement and an eagerness to play. Her head tilting with mild confusion when she swept away the leaves.

Peanut saw it as a sign to preform the same trick, only this time she stopped not because of her trainer but because of Petunia. Petunia's elegance and beautiful wings mesmerized her once more. Noticing the breeze she was creating Peanut happily played along, eagerly chasing after the leaves that began to flutter around.

Her gaze softens as she watches Peanut and Petunia interact. It was heartwarming to see pokemon get along so well and easily. If only it could be this easy for society. Vivan turns back to Elisabeth a smile forms, "You are very kind." She states laughter quickly following suit. "I worry about what kind of chaos would ensue if they were left alone." She jokes as well, Vivan briefly bows her head in respect showing that she feels the same.

Her eyes glance down at the sketch book when Elisabeth ask if she's an artist. "Oh no, this is just a hobby of mine. I used to be a teacher but now I work for a non profit." Her cheeks briefly flush red as she explains her hobby. But when she speaks of her profession her tone is one of pride.

"Fiorelli? As in Fiorelli Floristy? I've never had a chance to go but I've heard many good things."
Her introduction brings up memory of the shop she would always pass by.

It was a pleasant conversation. It was a wonderful surprise that she met Elisabeth today, Vivan felt at ease with her as though the conversation flowed without any effort. She's reminded of an old saying, how the best things always come unexpectedly. Conversing with Elisabeth was really the highlight of her day.

"How wonderful! given the hard work you put into it however I don't find that surprising at all." Seeing people so passionate about their work warmed her heart. Vivan was well aware that Hoenn was a region filled with people that had great perseverance. It was inspiring and she was proud to call it home.

She nods when Elisabeth asks about her line of work, happy to talk about it. "It's still relatively new, but the name is Helping Hands. Aiming to help those affected in times of disaster and tragedies."

Peanut is enjoying her new found play mate as well. She uses her trunk to whisk the leaves into the air and chases after them as they ride on the gentle currents created by Petunia.

She briefly hesitates before responding. "It truly is, the sheer amount of people affected is devastating." Vivan considers herself lucky, having yet to be directly affected by a disaster she figures it's only a matter of time. Living in this region taught her to be always prepared for the unexpected.

"Indeed. Actual moments from a warzone, sadly we find that our hands are not reachable to many." Naturally her expression turns somber. Frustrated how she can't do more for the region that she loves, Vivan has a strong desire to find the best way to help everyone residing in hoenn.

Peanut finally starts to slow down, although she's having a great time playing with Petunia it has depleted her energy. The phanphy wobbles towards Elisabeth and uses her trunk to gently tug at the woman's sleeve trying to get her attention. "Hey peanut don't be a to bother Ms.Elisabeth." Vivan sighs shaking her head at peanut's behavior, afterwards she reaches into her bag to retrieve some pokepuffs. Before offering it to Peanut she turns to Elisabeth, "If it's okay I'd like to give Petunia a pokepuff. Luckily I have one that bug pokemon really enjoy." With a smile Vivan brings out another pokepuff that had been smothered with honey giving it a rather sweet scent.

She blinks and before she's aware the treat had vanished. Astonished by Petunia's speed Vivan also bursts out with uncontrollable laughter, a hand covering her mouth out of habit. "She sure is quick!" A smile emerging after laughter, Vivan could relate when it comes to sweets. "I'm the same way when it comes to Creme Brulee" Just the name of the dessert had Vivan's mouth watering.

Peanut quickly zoned in on the wrapped delicacy, however for the first time she displayed a patient side. Sitting down and waiting calmly until she was given permission to eat.

Vivan is pleased at the sight and nods happily. "Aw, how thoughtful of you. Peanut enjoys all types of food I'm sure she'll enjoy the treat." The mention of daily strolls made Vivan curious which prompted her to ask Elisabeth "How long have you been in hoenn for or more specifically petalburg?"

Elisabeth Fiorelli

"I'm glad to hear that. Frankly it took me a bit to get used to Hoenn, but sooner or later I began calling it my home as well." There had been many times where Vivan was tempted to flee back to Johto in order to flee the conflict that was gradually getting worse. What stopped her was the love she felt for the people here, she couldn't leave that behind.

Hearing that Elisabeth was originally from Kalos made her curious in what made her move here. Her curiosity remained unanswered, deciding she could ask another time if they ever met again. "I haven't been to Kalos, but I've heard that it's a nice place to live." Vivan smiles, stroking a strand of loose hair behind her ear. momentarily staring at the autumn trees to think about her question.

"I believe it's been ten years or so. I'm originally from Johto but moved here to get my education in teaching. I spent most of my time here in petalburg." Vivan blushes when hearing the formality "Oh there's no need to be formal, please just call me Vivan."
