| [attr="class","posttext"] "Is that so? A native of the Hoenn land."[break][break]Naia never interacted much with people and it was a bit of a naïve assumption that most people would just be from Hoenn, so whenever people so flatly pointed it out like that it always grounded her back into reality. The world really was just bigger than her city, bigger than her country infact. [break][break] "Perhaps the next time we meet, I'll invite you to Lilycove. I am more familiar with that city than this one at the very least. I may take you up on that offer, it's always handy having someone who is smarter than me around. Keeps me from getting myself in to much trouble."[break][break]At first she was just going to comment on his first statement, but when he spoke up again it completely threw her in for a loop. someone who is smarter than him? Surely he must have been mistaken, perhaps he really thought he was talking to her mother instead of her disappointment of a daughter. Never once has Naia ever consider herself smarter and if this wasn't a business venture she would have corrected him right away. [break][break] "Yo-You flatter me, but I'm sure you'd be fine even without me.. I just thought I'd help from one person to another. As for your offer.."[break][break]She paused for a moment looking off to the side, and as her eyes caught a glimpse of the waiter coming towards them, she'd stand up a bit more straight and return her gaze to him. [break][break] "If I ever get more vacation time... that's be great."[break][break]While Amor was ordering his food, Naia quickly skimmed the list they had offered. In all honesty she didn't have much of an appetite, so something heavy like a steak wouldn't have been food for her stomach and she surely wasn't going to order any of their seafood after she she had seen earlier. So instead she went for a far plainer choice, picking a soup but making sure to order some bread over their table, after all how couldn't you just eat soup without dipping some bread in it. [break][break]As for a drink she asked for a coffee and a water, something she could drink for pleasure and something she could just mindlessly sip on if she needed some time to think. It was far easier to fill in awkward silence or space in a conversation if you'd in the middle of drinking or eating, so this worked in her favor. [break][break] "So tell me more about this company of yours. I was able to get some details over the phone, but I always prefer to hear such things in person."[break][break] "Sure.."[break][break] "Besides it is up to you to sell me on investing on it."[break][break]She sounded slightly hesitant, specifically because she assumed he already knew so much on the company in the first place, but the majority of her hesitancy would dissipate whenever he mentioned about selling him on it. That much made sense, and in reality they wouldn't be sitting here having a conversation if he wasn't already sold one way or another. It was just a matter on how she was going to do this. While she digested his request, her hand reached for her glass and gave it a light tap with her nail. [break][break] "And before you launch into a premeditated PokePedia page lecture on your company. Don't. I can get all the information I want at my leisure, I want something more than that. Are you up to the task?"[break][break]That much made her laugh a bit. A slight chuckle, but at least a genuine one. If anything they both agreed those were definitely the worse, she hated having to sit there and talk about stuff they could have easily just looked up. It wasted her time and energy, and in the end they wouldn't pay much attention so it wasted their time too. [break][break] "Don't worry about that.."[break][break]Even though he was staring at her with full attention, Naia couldn't help but have her eye contact waver. She did try her best to hide it with drinking a glass of water, but in all honesty talking people was just too much, there were far more information one needed to pay attention be it from their hidden meanings behind words, or their body language that she just couldn't keep up with. [break][break] "Well, I'll try to keep it quick and simple then.."[break][break]But despite that insecurity she knew she didn't have to worry about confidence when it came to talking about her mother's company. It's been drilled in her so many times after all. [break][break] "I'm sure as an investor you have to be extremely careful in who you invest because of how companies normally operate, the downfall or a competitor, means profit for yourself. However, our company works the exact opposite, instead we profit by cooperating with other companies."[break][break]Naia would take a light sip from her water, not wanting to get a dry mouth from walking to much. [break][break] "Meaning.. investors like you who have multi companies to look after, investing in us is the same as investing in your other projects. There is the security of not having to go through multiple channels with subpar results as well as having an a piece of an assets that would never die out."[break][break]How many times have she heard such a spiel before, however the difference is that she'd never be able to invoke the creative enthusiasm her mother acted out. But maybe she had been talking to much.. maybe he wanted to ask some questions. [break][break] "I hope that was a bit helpful.. but if not I can always give you my mother.. uh.. motivational speech."[break][break]Maybe inserting a bit of a joke at the end would help her feel a bit less awkward about it all. This time her taking a lot longer to drink her water in hopes that maybe he'd take that opportunity to fill in the silence himself.
