❀ 3rd Weed in the Garden - Action ❀

[shamelessness]

[So what if it's cold today? That won't stop Shiemi, or her new partner Skarmy. The two are determined- Okay, maybe more so Shiemi than the metal bird, but nevertheless they are both out training today. On the edge of the forest a teen girl and a two to three foot metal baby bird can be found practicing moves. So far Taunt and Drill Peck are the only ones Shiemi has recognized.

Before lunch they walk together around the plaza to take a break, and finally about an hour after noon the pair will head to Community Building One. Maybe she can ask Rin to make them lunch. He makes her dinners often enough, but... it's her Birthday. Today she'll want to indulge in his cooking instead of her usual guilty acceptance of her kindness. ...She should learn how to make edible food one day, really.

And that's it. She doesn't make this day a big deal because... well when your world is just your house your birthdays don't tend to be big anyway. Plus: how does I birthday with friends?]

Oh, so that's what she is. I wondered why I couldn't recognize her. She looks, um... friendly.

[Kinda. Sorta. ...not really.]

[shamelessness]

You really think so?

[She smiles, proud that her partner is getting such praise! The skarmory, however, is ignoring them both in favor of her reflection.]

[mirrorblade]

Yep. I'm sure you guys will make great partners. Were you two out training, then?

[shamelessness]

We were! Skarmy and I are going to get stronger together.

[mirrorblade]

I don't know much about pokémon, but as long as you work hard, I'm sure you can do it.

[shamelessness]

You're right! Thank you for believing in us!

[mirrorblade]

So what are you guys up to now? Taking a break?

[shamelessness]

[She nods.]

Soon we'll go home to have lunch.

[mirrorblade]

Oh, I don't want to keep you guys from that, then. I hope you have a nice lunch!

[shamelessness]

Thank you! You have a nice day, okay?

[mirrorblade]

Thanks. You, too. [He smiles widely. He can't help wondering just kind of partner Skarmy is when she's wandering off like that, but...! He doesn't want to interrupt them, so maybe another day.] Take care of yourselves!
