Sumara looked at Martin with wide eyes and slowly began to comprehend what the other had said. She shook her head. "It'll be fine, Martin. My parents aren't super rich for nothing... They'll fly themselves out of the house or something... It's happened before, it'll continue happening... But..." Her face turned a light pink here as she stammered out the rest of her sentence. "T-thanks for worrying a-and stuff... I guess when this madness is your life, you see nothing wrong with it..." She rubbed the back of her neck and looked down at Lorcan, who was staring up at her worried. Gently removing Martin's hand, but not before giving it a reassuring squeeze, she knelt down and picked up her starter.

"Did I worry you, Lorcan? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to..." She kissed his nose and smiled sadly. "Let's just get into the nest town and find something fun to do..." The dog nipped her own nose in warning and huffed. "Alright, alright, we'll tell someone of what we saw... Besides, brother will want to hear alllll about this big long mess..." She set the Pokemon back down and turned to Martin before gathering all of her courage and giving the boy a brief but warm hug. Her own blush darker than ever she quickly started back down the path, not looking anywhere but forward.

Jace merely muttered a thank you and followed the large male to the pier. A Wingul caught his eye and he watched the sea bird cruise over the water. He turned to see a man almost fall off the pier, making him raise an eyebrow. The banter between his guard and the captain was a familiar thing for them apparently. Staring at the ship that would take them to his only home in Hoenn, he vaguely listened to what the tanner man said.

Though when the crew started to curse at the man he caught a few of them staring at him. He felt his eye twitch and he almost wanted to throw something at them. But the captain was talking to him, asking about why he was traveling with Brigson. "Work" He summarized bluntly. Once they were on the boat, he nodded at Brigson and Sanders before walking towards the front of the boat, where he sat down, removed his bag and somewhat sticky lab coat and stretched his pale arms. Leaning right against the railing, he relaxed with the sound of the ocean. His phone rung once before he answered it. His assistant, Marcus, was on the other side, reporting that his sister was away from the house and that their parents were already in Unova. A thank you and a status report on the Pokemon on the island later, he was alone with the ocean again.
