Orion stretched and yawned as he wandered through upper Liggs. Man, it was really hard to believe that another Star Festival was really up and coming. Last year, he had just arrived in Veria around this time, but now here he was a year later and changed in all sorts of “fun” ways. Heh.
He would catch up with Nik and Mia and maybe even Marcie later depending on who wanted to go where and do what, but for now, he wanted some time to scope out the festival for himself. It was early enough that it shouldn’t cause too much of a fuss, though the downside to that was just the mere fact that all the booths and whatnot were still getting organized and orchestrated. There wasn’t too much to do when everyone was putting all the pieces together. Man, maybe the following year, he’d set up his own table with something or something. That sounded nice didn’t it? Heh.
It was as he was moving along, however, that a body collided with his. On instinct, Orion’s hand lashed out, seizing the shoulder or arm of whoever it was in an effort to stop any sort of pickpocketing that may have been going on. “Hey—!”

BREATHE IN THE MOUNTAIN AIR AND LOOK DOWN UPON THE WORLD To be honest, they probably shouldn't have been fiddling with reading a book when they were walking. Sam ignored the warnings of the ninetales behind him and wound up smashing face first into another, much larger individual. The blonde frowned when their arm was snagged, and in a momentary panic, they twisted their arm towards the other person's thumb with a snap, backing away a couple of steps. Sam stared at Orion for a moment, taking in slow, deep breaths while their brain practically screamed at them for not paying attention, fearing a potential fight due to their own carelessness. After a moment of internal screaming, Sam straightened up, closing their book as they did so. "Sorry about that. Ya ok?" They knew better than to read a damned book while walking, it's just that they were trying to cram the information as quickly as possible. They couldn't help that science was interesting and there was more to learn than they could probably manage in their life time. Veil, his ninetales, took the book with her mouth and gracefully sat on the ground with it, trilling a warning when Sam so much as started to look like he'd scold her. Orion Alim-VerdiRIP

Sam’s sudden motion had Orion’s hand immediately letting go. The heck!? Orion stared hard for a moment as the person backed up, but as they stopped and looked scared…. Orion almost… felt bad. Ugh. His eyes dropped down taking in the profile of this person and finally catching the book in their hand and— Oh…Ugh. He’d… yeah ok. He’d probably overreacted. This was a small figure before him, and being a wall of muscles and the epitome of intimidating never did help Orion in the public perception department. “Ah— yeah, I’m alright… Sorry. Thought for a second I was getting pickpocketed on my first day here,” he mused a bit softer now reaching up to ruffle his own hair once or twice. “Hope I didn’t scare you— are you alright?”

BREATHE IN THE MOUNTAIN AIR AND LOOK DOWN UPON THE WORLD Sam's bickering with his ninetales had been drawn to a halt when the taller man before them started speaking. Sam kind of pursed their lips in thought before shaking their head slowly. "It's fine. I just mostly didn't want to start a fight out here in the open." As if to help drive home their point a little more, Sam looked side to side at the surrounding people. "Don't need to go and get myself arrested, ya know what I mean?" The last thing Sam really needed was to get snatched up by police officers.
It wouldn't be a good thing if the wrong people started catching on to Sam's former job. Reaching up to ruffled their own hair, their hand froze in place. "But yea, I'm ok. Thanks. Are you?" He looked big and he looked tough, he looked like someone he would've worked with in the past to be honest but sometimes, those big luggs could be a bit on the sensitive side.

Orion nodded briefly at Sam’s words. Yeah, it would do neither of them any good to start an actual fight in the middle of festival set-up. Maybe something along the lines of a Pokemon battle or even a coordinator “battle”, but not a physical confrontation. What was curious, however, was the set of words that came after. Arrested? Yeah, he guessed people were arrested for that kind of thing but normally in situations that were a little more confrontational… (or maybe he had just gotten used to beating the shit out of others without recourse, eheh). But he guessed some normal people were warier than others.
As the question was returned to him, Orion nodded slowly. “Yeah, no harm done,” he answered after a moment vaguely debating how far he should take this. This person before him was at least a bit curious, though, with their androgyny and uncertainties. A hand extended instead, simple flat in a handshake format. “Name’s Orion.” He tied for a smile. “Heh… nice to meet you, I guess?” he asked with a smooth smile thereafter.

BREATHE IN THE MOUNTAIN AIR AND LOOK DOWN UPON THE WORLD Sam nodded with gave a light grin, reaching out a hand to return the shake. A firm gripped shake was easy for them thanks to the years of engineering under their belt, but the kind of derped out expression contradicted the firm hand shake as they seemed to go brain dead. "Names Sam."
There we go. They had gone blank trying to consider whether or not they wanted to give them their actual name, and that had taken a moment to shake out of their head. That old paranoia from their time spent in Rocket still had it's roots firmly dug into Sam's brain. Being raised in that kind of environment and group kind of ensures you live with that though.
"Nice ta meet ya too. Er. Sorry about that by the way." Sam muttered the last bit, looking over to Veil, who still held onto the book proudly, cool air pouring off of her as she growled once more at Sam's advances to take back the book.

A firm grip then huh? Orion was almost tempted to return with a tighter grip but kept himself from doing so at the last second. Instead, he let go and gave a nod at the person’s name. Sam… Well that was about as gender neutral as it came and offered no real clues as to pronouns or otherwise but meh.
Yellow eyes did raise and reflect the Ninetales that Sam was looking back to. While Orion had one, it wasn’t with him and didn’t seem to have the sheer personality weight this one did, heh. “Is that your partner Pokemon?” he asked about as nonchalantly as possible. His own was safe in their Pokeball for now considering how people tended to react on seeing them. One giant predatory fish was enough to send a small group of less than prey humans into a mild panic if they weren’t ready for it. “I’ve heard Ninetales supposedly live for a hundred years and develop psychic powers over the course of their long lives…” It was an old legend, something form an old time and place, but Pokemon lore was fascinating in its own right.

BREATHE IN THE MOUNTAIN AIR AND LOOK DOWN UPON THE WORLD Sam grunted as a burst of cold air off of their Ninetales shooed his hand away one last time. The other person had heard the rumor well, but they were afraid that they had no idea for themselves. "I'm not entirely sure how true that is. I've had veil since she was an egg, and the oldest ninetales I've ever met was in it's fifties." Seeming to think on it hard for a moment, Sam shrugged finally, shaking their head. "The owner said he'd heard about it as well, but had no clue whether or not it was true." Pokemon were interesting creatures of course, and there was more than enough proof that Pokemon could live for thousands of years, easily. But that was only for certain species, and each species was unique in it's own way. "Of course, it's still plausible, since Bronzor and Bronzong have been discovered, sleeping and still alive, among ruins that were dug up and were over thousands of years old."Orion Alim-Verdi

Ah, wow. Indeed, a partner Pokemon then. Orion nodded a little as the rest was spoken. He had encountered a rather old Ninetales once before, but it was wild and had left right after their battle. He almost wished he’d caught it now. Eh, whatever.
The thought of Bronzor and Bronzong, however, had him blinking it surprise. “I hadn’t heard of that,” he admitted shifting his stance some a bit more comfortably now. “Hard to believe they have any desire to breed when they’re so long lived, practically immortal.” Granted, if he vaguely recalled, the Bronzor line was also part of a Mineral Group that didn’t breed except in strange cases or with incense. Was that right? Ehhh, he couldn’t remember off the top of his head, but it certainly sounded right. Arceus, Orion, you worked on a ranch sometimes.
A thought occurred to him, and Orion hesitated shifting to pull a Pokeball from his pants. A light flashed, and a giant Eelektross stood next to him. “This doofus is my oldest Pokemon,” he mused elbowing the eel that immediately elbowed him back. A hiss from the Eelektross came in greeting thereafter.

BREATHE IN THE MOUNTAIN AIR AND LOOK DOWN UPON THE WORLD "Yea, Pokemon like Bronzong and such are kinda finicky with breeding. Genderless Pokemon have a drawn tendency to keep to themselves. It's not very well understood, outside from the fact that you can get them to attract to another Pokemon... even if for a limited time." Sam muttered the last part, going off into thought until his Ninetales let out a low coo, snatching his attention back. Now Sam loved all Pokemon, ice type more than most, but they still loved them all. Electric type drew close second. Their eyes lit up when the Eelektross was sent out, standing next to Orion and letting out a hiss towards him. "Hello to you to!! You're so cool!" Sam spoke up, throwing their arms up and grinning towards the Eelektross. "What's doofus's name?" Sam asked curiously, petting a slightly offended Viel behind him. "Oh hush you're still loved. Shut your face." They told her, pushing on her snout gently after petting the cool locks of fur. Orion Alim-Verdi

A surprised look flashed on both Orion and Mr. Fish’s features as Sam reacted to the latter’s presence. The way their eyes lit up and the tone they used had a goofy feeling warming Orion’s features right after, and a small series of chuckles escaped from him right after. “Ah, Mr. Fish is their name, Fishy for short,” he mused.
The Eelektross, meanwhile, was shifting about playfully drawing up close to Sam. What a nice and friendly human! They bet this one tasted like chicken! Or maybe beef! Or even— even fish! Yes! Throwing out their arms in reflection, they uttered a hiss in response! Nice to meet you tasty one! Their eyes did fall to the Ninetales right after, however, and a smaller wave was given to Viel right after.
Orion was entirely too pleased, if he was honest with himself. “I’ve had Fishy since they were a Tynamo,” he mused. “One of my best fighters to boot.” As if those teeth in that circular maw of theirs wasn’t enough to show for it.
