Before she knew it, an abundance of water came pouring down, in addition to some rocks in hopes to contain the flames. [break][break]

In another attempt to help with the water, she pulls out the pokeball of her wailmer and throws it towards the other water pokemon. "Azurite, water spout." she commands, before sparing a glance at the other water type trainer. The white of her hair and the deep blue of her eyes; where had Daphne seen them before? She knows that, somewhere, she has seen them. She knows, for a fact, that she was familiar in some way; yet she couldn't put her finger on it. Perhaps it was through a previous encounter? In passing? No, she felt like it was more than that and less than that all the same. [break][break]

The crowds of the people, both fleeing and screaming had calmed down with the woman showcasing her abundance of water and control over the fire. Needless to say, Daphne was thoroughly impressed. The woman offers a slight and hesitant smile, while her own pokemon were assisting the best they can (even if, in her opinion, her effort paled in comparison). Give or take a few moments, and the face and voice click in her head. [break][break]

More importantly, she may be someone who knew about her brother's disappearance from Hoenn. [break][break]

But questions like what would have to wait; it wasn't the time for that. She offers Olivia a soft and grateful smile. "Thank you," she starts, before putting her hands against her lap, and bows her head slightly. Call it a habit she picked up while in johto. "You really saved us. You are.. Olivia, if I recall?"

she's relieved. [break][break]

more so that the one who came to aid was a polite one. daphne straightens herself up, more so to return a small smile of her own. "you flatter me." she offers a gaze as warm as the slight smile, and she then pulls out a pokeball to release a blissey into the open. giving the blissey a sparing glance, she waves her hand slightly to dismiss the pokemon. "pearl, help tend to the injured if you will." with the command, the blissey began to walk towards some other people and pokemon - using her heal pulse to hopefully rid of burn injuries and other wounds. [break][break]

turning her attention back to olivia, she holds her hand out with an open palm. "my name is daphne; daphne stone. a pleasure." she knows, fully well, the weight that stone holds. a little sister who revelled in the spotlight and a little brother known for his noble heart (she knows far too well). "i believe you might have known my little brother, alexander? he'd speak highly of you."

[attr="class","freiheitt21"]


she recalls the seadra she sent out earlier. on the other hand, her wailmer continued to spout the water from the top of his spout hole and t the fire. call it extra measures taken, hoping to extinguish the fire further. daphne takes her eyes off the whale in favour of the blizzey, moving to tend to the wounded trainers and pokemon who were being brought out from the flames or just recently escaping. a quick affirmation of the pokemon and their jobs, and she turns her attention back to the woman standing before her; olivia. [break][break]

indeed, she has heard quite a bit about her from alexander - from the few times she had spoken to him, that is. embarrassing as it was for her to say, she couldn't confidently claim that she knew her brother and his relationships with other people all too well. she was simply content with staying out of the picture for however long; thus, she was thoroughly convinced that she wouldn't have to inherit the burden of the family's prestige. unfortunately, this hope both fails and betrays her. [break][break]

although the subtle glow in the water woman's eyes seem to put the stone at ease, no matter how slight. the blonde woman tilts her head, slightly, at the clarification. indeed, she knew that there had been buzz surrounding her brother and... numerous other people. enough for the elder sister to grow worried and question her younger brother's motives and what exactly he intended to put out there for the public. she was accustomed to her little sister getting into the trouble; she expected a little bit more from alexander. [break][break]

but that was besides the point. [break][break]

she gives olivia a patient smile (staged and composed, to an extent. part of her found comfort in being able to speak to someone so calmly). she shakes her head gently. "no, it's nothing to apologize for." she moves her hand back. "you're a friend. there's no need to be so formal~" she brings her fingers to gently press against her lower lip when she lets out a soft chuckle. deep, sapphire eyes almost pensively stare at the woman as she, nevertheless, speaks her introduction. [break][break]

the topic of her brother (unavoidable, it seems) came up. the calm demeanour she masqueraded with was put to a standstill, even if for a few moments. she takes a deep breath, now to mull over a choice of words. ".. yes. devon has been in a bit of a frazzle since i've taken my brother's position." she glances down to the shell pokemon, who seemed quite.. curious? curious was one way of putting it. she had half the mind to crouch down and shake a tentacle, but chose against it. at least, in this situation. "along with the visit from silph regarding the league..." which was less than pleasant.

[attr="class","freiheitt21"]


'frank' was putting it a certain way. a polite way, and more civilized than what she'd like to describe him as. "indeed.." she trails, slightly. the distress and slight unease in her voice was prominent, but she tries to hide it for the sake of formalities, along with mannerisms. in hindsight, it makes sense for him to be that way seeing as he handles the mantle for silph. on the other hand, it acted as a very confrontational reminder of who she was and what she was or wasn't capable of. [break][break]

humiliating was one way of saying it. disgraceful, another. [break][break]

but she digress. thankful to the vaporeon who nudges at her leg, she crouches to begin patting the top of the marine pokemon's head. she offers a small smile. "no, i'm flattered. she's absolutely precious~" she softly coos over the vaporeon. [break][break]

as the trouble began to settle down, she glances to the wailmer who began to bounce itself across the ground and over to the trainer. why he didn't float was beyond her; a childish sense of energy? hopefully, it wouldn't persist even after evolution. that.. would be a problem. most definitely. [break][break]

she stands back up, moreso to give olivia an acknowledging nod in gratitude. "thank you, and i wish you all the best, too." her blissey waddles over after attending to the sickly, and began to try and give the vaporeon the same affection the trainer gave earlier. "if there's anything you need, as well, i'll gladly assist in any way i can." after all, connections were important; even more so now, seeing that she was new to the position. [break][break]

"it was a pleasure meeting you. i hope we can work together, again~" and with those words, she gives the woman a wave before walking off with the two pokemon at her side.
