Neve smiled as Nanami shook her hand and introduced herself in return. It was a start at least and Neve would prefer to be on good terms with those she would have to share space with for a while.
"I heard Karen from Johto's Elite Four mention you during our battle. If I'm remembering correctly, you're her apprentice right?" It seemed that Nanami wanted to continue talking and while Neve preferred quiet company, she wasn't at all opposed to conversation.
Tilting her head to the side slightly, she nodded as she pondered her reply. "Indeed. She was a good mentor, I learned much from her." Neve paused here for a moment, smiling softly. "I recall her speaking fondly of your battle, I believe you impressed her."
Nyx stirred on her lap, the fox Pokémon yawning and stretching as she awoke. Then suddenly the Zorua noticed where she was and the people and Pokémon around her. Nyx's head turned this way and that, trying to assess everyone, a glare on her face as she tried to scare everyone away. Neve was her's!
Neve simply held a hand up to her mouth, muffling the laugh that was escaping without permission. Nyx was being so adorable and her glare really wasn't effective in the slightest given her small size. The purple haired lady lightly tapped Nyx, gaining the Pokémon's attention and was about to explain where they were. Of course, Lock and Riza choose that moment to enter the room, followed shortly by a blonde haired man wearing regal clothing.
'So this is the one who invited us all here.' Was her thought after hearing his introduction. He wasn't a titled King apparently, though his home and the way he dressed certainly gave the impression that he was. Neve barely listened to Alex questioning King about why they were there. Instead she picked up Nyx, placing the Zorua onto the seat between herself and Nanami before standing.
Neve herself wasn't about to question the man. To be honest she was grateful for the change of pace this vacation would grant. And so, she swept gracefully into a bow, hair falling in front of her face and hiding her expression from view as she spoke with a calm, steady tone. "Thank you for the invitation, sir. I am looking forward to my stay here."
