[Armin can feel his cheeks heat up. Suddenly, he is acutely aware of Angel's body right next to his, the way her face is turned up to look at him, her small hands between his own. This close, he can even make out the freckles dusting the bridge of her nose and cheeks.
He can feel his throat go dry and he shouldn't be thinking like this at all, right? Noticing any of this. Angel is a friend, just a friend. She's always been friendly and outgoing with him, always quick to touch. Maybe a bit quicker even, the last month. But, he reasons, that is from Krieg leaving. Sometimes you just need a physical reminder of the people, the friends, that are still here. It doesn't mean anything.]
[It doesn't too long to pick up on the shift in mood. Angel steps back, releasing Armin's hands just as quickly as she had taken them. She'd gotten too eager, come on too strong after a month of moping. She could hardly blame Armin for being surprised.
With her own hands now free, she scratches the back of her neck a little sheepishly. Her gaze drops to the floor as her cheeks flush a faint shade of pink.]
I should start doing my research, right? We can talk more when we have a better idea of what's going on?
[When Angel pulls back her hands, Armin's cheeks got a bit redder. And he is kicking himself mentally. See, it wasn't meant as anything more as friendship. His reaction had made things weird.]
Yeah, that sounds good. I didn't even read the document Lance sent us. [Admitted as if it is the greatest sin. Which it is, to a nerd like Armin.] I was just so excited I wanted to talk to someone immediately. So. I should go read that now.
We can make lists. Things to do in Eterna City and the other areas. And then we can plan from there.
[She takes a step further back into her room. Embarrassed or no, she still looks plenty pleased with the recent developments. Nothing will bring down her sense of adventure.]
Maybe we can even find new Pokemon? Of course, we'll probably have to figure out the best teams to bring. Oh! [She turns, already shuffling around for her Gear. It's time to start planning.]
