The others answered one by one and Faye stood in her place, gnawing methodically at the cinnamon flavored toothpick in between her teeth. She felt something rub against her leg and she looked down to see a Growlithe scampering around their feet. Eona seemed pleased by this and nearly leaped from Faye's shoulder to play along with him. However, by the time she had gotten prepared to make the quick leap, the Growlithe had pattered back to his trainer's side and the other trainers had begun to speak. Faye nodded as each of the other five spoke; however, she barely listened to them, only catching words or phrases that they said. Instead, she was mentally noting -as she often did- each person, the expression they wore and their Pokemon as they spoke one by one.
First to speak after Faye was a nervous-looking girl whose eye twitched as Faye spoke and when Faye looked again, she looked as if she were about to cry. She suggested with a stutter that they get to know each other first and Faye would have rolled her eyes had she not been trying to make nice with these people. The girl had a Houndour at her side and Eona -who had never liked Houdours that much- seemed to jump when she noticed the dog-like Pokemon. R- something with an "R"? Faye thought to herself, trying to remember the girl's name. Reagan! Faye remembered suddenly. Her shoulder must have made a sudden move because Eona shuffled on her shoulder and gave her a curious look, as if questioning what Faye was thinking.
The next person to speak, reminding everyone of his name: Damia, said that he and his Sneasel were glad to be traveling with everyone and Faye let out a nearly inaudible snort. Why would anyone be happy to travel with some perfect strangers to a dangerous island to stop a terrorist attack on Shannia? At least to Faye, that wasn't her idea of a good time, but she once again reminded herself to be more friendly than she would normally be and she kept her snarky comments to herself. Maybe it was just too early in the morning for niceties.
The third to speak was the owner of the Growlithe who Eona still seemed almost infatuated with. The small grey Eevee gave the Pokemon a cute smile and wiggled her long ears -her own way of saying hello. The owner of the Growlithe spoke her name once more and Faye thought that she might have been one of the people whose name she remembered from the meeting. The girl, Liana -Or Amber? Which one? Faye thought to herself- said something about her Pokemon being a bully and Faye gave her a short, questioning glance as the Growlithe swiped at Amber's head. What an odd little guy Faye thought to herself. She never much liked Growlithes, but they were powerful and cute little creatures.
Next came a boy with a cigarette in between his lips and an Aaron standing near him. Faye did not remember his name, but before he actually spoke, she remembered that she instantly knew him to be from Morick due to his accent. She remembered meeting him briefly and his accent had brought back bad memories of the people that lived in the filthy city. Now, he produced business cards from his pocket and handed them to each of the trainers. Faye furrowed her brow as she took one and looked at it, nearly laughing out loud at the fact that this guy was a real life detective. Is this guy for real? Faye thought to herself as she suppressed a chuckle and stuck the card in the pocket of her shorts.
Once everyone had re-introduced themselves, Faye recognized a slightly awkward silence and thought to herself, Maybe they don't remember my name... I sure didn't remember theirs. Faye cleared her throat and sighed. "So... I guess if y'all don't remember," Faye paused to move the tooth pick to the right side of her mouth and gave a quick flash of a smile before continuing, ""Cause I don't think I remembered most of your names... I'm Faye." Another silence passed through the group and Faye looked around, almost feeling awkward -and Faryn Greyson never feels awkward. She wondered whether she should say something or let someone else speak first, but when no one else did, Faye let out a chuckle. "So, was that enough 'getting to know each other'?" Faye paused here and moment before adding, "Or did you also want to know that my favorite color is green and that I hate citrus fruits?"
