Hearing their might be some smaller contests in the coming months due to a re-work of the more official contest leagues, Priscilla was eager to see if she could get down some of the routines she'd been writing and drawing out, fumbling a little with a file full of sketches she had including positions for phases of a song and intended visuals to come from the effects of her pokemon's moves. Of course, move wise, they all still needed a lot more training, but perhaps she, floofles, and Majesty could manage to at least get the positions down. She had a small bag across her chest containing an outfit she intended to perform in as she headed to a contest hall, having rented out a small practice room for an hour, the kind with walls of mirrors so you can see where you're potentially going wrong. "Yes er...I'm looking for room B3? I'm scheduled to use it for the hour." She smiled sweetly at the woman behind the counter as her still scruffy floofles sat by her side. Easily enough she was guided to where she needed to be, and used up her hour ...Half an hour ago. "Okay...from the top..." Frustration clearly on her face even as she tried to hide it, crossing her arms and taking a slow breath. She wasn't aware her time had been up for a half hour and someone else could walk in at any moment, but she was wondering about packing it in anyway. The moves in her mind didn't seem to be coming out how she pictured them at all, and beyond that, Floofles and Majesty where getting tired...One more go. Just one more. "Right so...stage left, stage right." She gestured to each of her pokemon to back off to their sides, counted herself in as the music began, and started to walk forward into place, a light sway to her hips that made the thinner fabrics of her lower-dress flick around her, twirling as she approached the front to display herself for a potential crowd, and tripping on her own ankle in the process, whining as she hit the floor. "Maybe this one isn't as good for me as i thought..." DRESS

With the reworking of smaller contests into the Verian system, Lucien too had felt the urge to participate once more. He’d missed the last contest and… well … hopefully he’d get another shot at one or two. The last one had been pretty fun, after all. With how “busy” his schedule tended to be, however, he hadn’t really gotten a chance to do anything for a while— but he promised he’d do so today! He’d even asked for a contest room and— ok so he was thirty minutes late, but he was taking his time and stuff and ….
Well, he was there now, hand at the door turning it and stepping in and—Huh? He’d caught only the trip and the land, and already Lucien was wincing a little in sympathy. “Ey Ey, ‘re ya ok?” he called, stepping in and letting the door swing behind him. From his messenger bag, Alamea sat up and looked around wondering what all the commotion was about. Lucien didn’t even really register her, however, as he walked fast over to the woman instead extending a hand to help her up.
What Priscilla would see of Lucien was… significantly different from the fanciness she wore. Long golf socks halfway up the knee separated by black sandals that covered the bridge of the foot. His pants started just below the knee and were big and bulky with many pockets. A muscle shirt was partially covered by the thin white jacket that held him otherwise. His hair was also a mess as per usual.

Her face having been pressed against the cooler floor as she whined quietly to herself, the woman was certainly annoyed with her own lack of skill. She'd taken dance lessons for years and even attended little balls and such, she was a great dancer, she had no sense of humility about the fact, so why was making up her own little routine, and furthermore pulling it off, such a difficult task!? Whining lightly into the floor until the door creaked open, the sound of Floofles perking up to it catching her attention more quickly though, the blonde rubbing her face as if it'd somehow get rid of the red tinge of embaressment quicker, pushing herself up to her feet, dusting off the thin, fine fabrics of her stage dress, grumbling at herself for the fact she'd need to get it thoroughly cleaned with the amount of times she'd fallen over.
"I-I'm quite alright." Her blush still heavy on her cheeks, she crossed her arms over her chest, glancing at the man who walked in and shifting her eyes away. Between his manner of speech and state of dress, she felt even more embaressed to have been caught by him. "Now if you'll excuse me I still have half an...hour..." Her eyes on the clock, the minute hand registered before the hour hand, sighing deeply and rubbing her face, not even finding the energy to apologize, just pushing her face into her hand with a sense of defeat at her own stupidity.

Oh- looked like the woman was ok. Cool, awesome. As she adjusted herself and spoke, he blinked and found himself pulling back the sleeve of his jacket to stare down at the HoloWatch a moment. Uh— He’d been about to mention the time, but she seemed to catch it after on her own. A small, silly smile pulled across his features and he shrugged a bit lamely. “Ah mean ah c’n c’m back anotha time ‘r see ‘f anotha room’s ah-valiable ‘ut…” Reaching back, he ruffled his own hair a bit. “’S nawta big deal.” If she was… really practicing hard, he could understand that.
Briefly, however, his eyes did flick to the two Pokemon with her, recognizing the Furfrou as similar to the family pet he’d had grown up. Huh, uh he actually probably needed one of those eventually. They had some kickin’ hair styles for sure. “Ey boy..” he grinned a little hoping the Pokemon was vaguely friendly. Alamea looked form Lucien to the woman and then back again. Hmmmm nothing really interesting, well then. She’d settle again if that was it.

"No no..." She quickly responded, sighing deeply into her hand from her own stupidity, not only getting distracted with her routine but making little to now progress with it, glancing to the clock again as if to only drive home to herself how much time she'd wasted doing practically nothing, sighing deeper still as she removed her hand. "The room's yours...I'm sorry I stole some of your time." She had assumed the man had been waiting outside or something, the thought of which made it more embaressing that he'd managed to walk in when she tripped. If he had waited he was certainly polite to do so afterall, she just had the worst of luck today.
"I'll make my way don't worry, I can always book another hour or...ten as needed." The half joke at herself easily fell flat as she gestured for her pokemon to come along, the Milotic slithering after her as the Furfrou walked by her side, barking lightly with a seemingly upbeat tone as it passed Lucien before walking along with Prissy, the blonde woman pausing at the door and turning carefully on her heels.
"Actually...would...would you mind joining me for a snack? I heard there's a cafe a floor down and I could use the break..." She lifted her hands and added. "My treat, I'll er...I'll pay for the wasted hour too of course. It's no bother." The man didn't seem too local but at the same time she didn't feel comfortable explaining why it wouldn't be much of an issue so soon after meeting him...especially with that odd accent.

He blinked a little uncertainly at her apology but smiled a little after. “Ah’s fine—“ he stated, but she’d gone on, so he trailed off again. W-well?! Uh, that was fine, right? He took a step back and sideways as she started to walk, just sorta following her with his eyes for a moment as she passed. Setting a hand to the back of his neck, he’d been about to turn and start his own thing when she spoke.
Snack? Immediately turning back, Luien flashed a grin. “Yo surez!” he grinned brightly. As she offered a treat and to pay the wasted hour, though, he shrugged his shoulders a little. “Sal gewd ‘ut alright,” he gave a small nod. As much as some part of him might have insisted on being the one to pay, Lucien… was really really too chill for this. Turning back and following her out, Lucien set both hands behind his head and offered a smile. “Namez Lucien, ya c’n call me Luci tho’,” he mused making a small elbow gesture down to his back. “N dis’s Mea.” The Lurantis gave a small smile and a smaller nod both to the human and her Pokemon.
“Ya gettin’ ready fer tha next couple ‘f contests?” Lucien went on asking smooth as ever.

Her gaze faltering a bit and the smile with it, she'd gone from a rather sweet but cautious offer to a bit of immediate regret. She really wanted the company for sure, and talking to someone who might be trying for contests could be a pick me up if it went well, or throw out any of her illusions otherwise, nevertheless the way he jumped so readily at a free meal...well maybe she was looking too much into that. Stop judging books by their cover...at least so swiftly.
"Well I'll be sure to talk to the lady at the front desk about your hour later." As she turned to walk with him again her eyes glanced back to him as he gave his name, rubbing her hands together a little nervously, weakly smiling back. "Priscilla. If it's quite alright I'll stick with Lucien. I'm not very fond of people shortening my name so I tend to avoid it with others." Her smile perked up a bit, but at the question the look in her eyes seemed to show it wasn't a topic she was ready for right away.
"Er...y-yes in fact I heard there might be one next...month..." Trailing off she stepped to the side as she passed her changing room where she'd stored her normal clothes. "If you don't mind I'll meet you down in the cafe, I'd rather put this away somewhere safe..." She gestured over the dress she'd been wearing.

The not so subtle motions of the girl had Lucien vaguely aware she was less than comfortable. Drawing up his Aura sight, he found himself starting to scan over hers briefly as she talked. Priscilla “Oh- like tha flowah,” he grinned a little nodding to himself. Lucien knew next to nothing about plants aside from their generic names and what some of them looked like, but that one was popular in certain flower arrangements. “Kewl.”
As his question on the contests seemed to throw her off, however, Lucien frowned a little. As she stopped and gestured to the clothes, he blinked and gave a nod. “Rite, yeh,” he paused and smiled a little. “Ya wan me ta order ya somethin’?” he asked waiting for her reply before giving a small nod to whatever.
“Seya downstairs,” Thereafter, he started down the hall, occasionally looking back before coming to the elevator. Was she trying to ditch him maybe? Eh, it was a thought, but he was cool with it. Pressing the button and going down to the first floor, he found himself looking around to the café and starting to look over the menu.

Priscilla was clearly a little surprised to hear her name associated with the flower, it was an association she actually tended to forget, but nevertheless she found it...oddly impressive. Or perhaps redeeming was more fitting. People tended to name daisies and the like but priscilla was a little less common. She wouldn't focus on it too long but...it touched a weird nerve to say the least.
"A cappuccino would be appreciated for starters. I'll see what they have in terms of food when I get there." She turned to get changed but quickly added. "Oh, and i'll be sure to pay you back when I get down there."
Coming down a good ten minutes later, Priscilla had gotten hastily changed, wearing Jeans and a black sleeveless shirt that hugged her natural curves pretty well, adjusting it as her fluffy Furfrou continued to walk by her side, the Milotic seemingly put in it's ball as she found the table her company was sitting at, giving a soft smile and taking the other seat. "Sorry for keeping you, had to make sure the dress was put away neatly. It can be a little delicate." She clasped her hands together, glancing to the drink likely waiting for her. "How much do I owe you?"

Cappuccino. “Alriteh,” he grinned giving an nod and a wave and going down. From the menu, he’d order that as well as a pumpkin spice late (cause who didn’t have pumpkin spice when it was this season anyways?). Both were made and now sat on the table as Priscilla came back down and around. Sipping his drink a bit, he flashed a grin and a smaller wave. Her regular clothes were a lot less flashy than that pretty dress, but they were nice on the eyes anyways. Raising his drink, he lowered it again as she sat down.
“Sal gewd,” he assured making a small gesture to her drink thereafter. The question, though, had him shrugging his shoulders. “ ‘Ow bouta free drink s’mothar time?” he asked with a small wink before laughing a little. If she refused too adamantly, he’d offer up the price that was clearly up on the menu board anyways, but some part of him hoped she’d just take that.

"Heh, that relies on us even meeting again..." Glancing up to the blonde, wondering why he didn't accept the offer right away, she shrugged it off all the same however and took her cup in both hands, giving it a light blow over the top in a feeble attempt to cool it down before meeting her lips with a soft sip. Not the best she'd had but certainly not bad. A contest hall must have more quality servers given the potential rising stars who would come here. That was a fair explanation in her mind at least.
"So, what brings you to the contest hall?" Of course that question did seem to answer itself, but- "Some dance crew you have to learn a routine for perhaps?" Her smirk was half playful and half snooty, judging him by his clothes she didn't really know what he was but that seemed like a solid guess to her. At least outside of mentioning contests themselves.

Lucien grinned and gave a small nod at Priscilla’s words. That it did~ that it did. As she sat down and took a drink, he sipped some more of his pumpkin spice late. The question had him perking up a bit though the clarification earned a small chuckle. “Jus’ gettin’ back inta tha feel ‘f practice,” he admitted reaching up to scratch at his cheek lightly. “Ah actu’lly wanna go fer tha next contest.” He shrugged his shoulders a bit and offered a playful smile.
“Been en one ‘n ‘ad a great time.” The Star Festival had been nothing if not grand, and getting a chance to do it again was, well, grand as well~ “Maybe e’ven promote mah biz a bit.” It was… a thought secondary to his initial desire, but it also sort of made sense. If he could show off what Pokemon he had as viable breeding parents, then he’d get more business right? Something like that anyways. “Oh- yeh, ah breed ‘mon bah tha way.” That.. probably helped yeah totally.

Listening as she drummed her fingers lightly against her cup, her expression dipped a little as contests were brought up. She supposed she did ask but a part of her was hopeful the conversation would stear away from that, a soft sigh flowing from her nose as she mumbled "That's nice" under her breath, though realizing how rude she was being, she forced herself to behave. Lifting her head back up she tried for a more genuine smile. "Sorry, sorry...that actually sounds great. Its good to see you're willing to practice for what's to come."
As he went on to speak about his business, she gave a light chuckle. She'd prefer to use a more..."upstanding" business, but for all she knew his was one, so she wouldn't judge too quickly. "Oh, I've actually been looking for a breeder actually, my father said I could get a few more eggs once I've proven i can take care of froofles and Melody...maybe I can come see your business sometime. Make an order..." Her words trailed off and she gave a faint chuckle. "Though...given my last hour and a half i doubt I'm going to be making much progress with pokemon."

Lucien frowned a little, and his head tilted some as Priscilla seemed so… unhappy with contests. Hadn’t she just been practicing? That was dedication and drive and— Well? Uh? She had fallen, but everyone fell! It was about getting up and going and doing and yeah! He might have said something then and there about it, but as she mentioned business, he switched to that instead. “Oh yeah?” he grinned a bit. Was she a new trainer then or maybe one who had put a career before training or?
The ‘doubt’ however, had him looking thoughtful, however. A golden eye flashed down to the Furfrou and then back up to Priscilla again. “Ow long ya ‘ad ‘em?” he asked making a small head gesture to the Furfrou. “S’mtimez ‘s about chemistry wi’t Pokemon. Gettin’ ta mesh and whatnawt.” He paused a second unsure if he was explaining it in a way that made sense. “Like a dance partnah.”

Priscilla smirked a little as she listened to his attempts to supposedly cheer her up, letting out a low, slow breath and taking a sip of her drink. "Yeah, that's er...a pretty apt way to put it~" She let out a light chuckle as she toyed with the fur of her pokemon by her side, the furfrou lifting it's front legs onto a nearby seat and looking between the two humans, wondering what they were up to and discussing but not yet fully adapted to human speech since he'd only been hatched a month or so ago.
"Maybe I just need some more time to adjust to them...maybe." She let out a slow breath and shook her head, drumming fingers against the cup again. "I wanted to become a coordinator but...somehow i thought it would be a lot easier than this. Guess I can't keep everything up as well dancing or chess or the like..."
