August took note of the next two who introduced themselves: Elodie Davenport, who seemed more than enthusiastic to meet everyone and be here, and Selna Rivers (with a Pokémon sitting atop her head), who was quite the opposite, with her simple introduction and the comment of not having made an appointment, and her blank and bored looking expression...
There was also a man who had entered shortly after the professor had made her entrance, only to settle down silently on a couch and pick up a magazine while what seemed like two of his partners sat on the ground next to him. August found himself distracted by him for a moment, with his rather serious expression, as well as the Darumaku and Lucario on the ground, but his attention was brought away as the door opened, and a girl spoke up from the doorway, "excuse me, we're not interrupting anything, are we?"
The voice belonged to a blonde haired, green eyed girl, who stood in front of three others: another blonde haired girl, though she looked much younger and held an umbrella, a light blue haired boy with a cold gaze, and the final one, a brunette male with cuffs and feathers dangling from the top of his ears.
Wisteria was quick to respond, quickly shaking her head. "Oh, not at all! You've made it just in time. We've just started by introducing ourselves." She looked around, before gesturing to August, and then moving on and pointing to the person who she named next, "This is Augustus Maes," he gave a small wave to the group as he was introduced by her, "Selna Rivers, and Elodie Davenport. Would you four mind introducing yourselves as well? Then once we've finished, we can move on to what you're all really here for." The professor's smile was bright and energetic, and Augustus couldn't help but crack a smile. He'd gotten to know her well enough in the time he'd spent here in Prunella with his brother, and the amount of energy the woman carried with her had never stopped to rub off some on him. There was some kind of encouragement he felt from her, whenever she spoke, so passionate about the things she did.
Oh...I can hardly wait to get started now...there's so much I'm going to be able to do!

"Well, I can't help but feel as though two lost travelers finding each other is rather comical...not that that matters! With the two of us, we'll be much better with eyes and ears, and double the luck!" She said, grinning over at him as her motivation and energy suddenly returned, a much different vibe from her than merely seconds ago.
"A map! Yes, I have one, I just...am not very good at reading them, so I figured I'd only become more lost if I tried to navigate it." She replied, reaching back and pulling her bag up in front of herself. Reaching in, she blindly groped the inside of her bag before her hand closed around the familiar feel of the map, and she pulled it out.
"Here we are! I'm glad I didn't toss this thing, even though I didn't think I'd have much use for it." She shrugged, unfolding it carefully and then looking around before placing her hand on Prunella City's area. "Okay, um...this is about as far as I can get with a map." Her tone seemed embarrassed, and she rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "I hope...I guess, that you at least know how to read a map?"
Amaya simply stayed at Ivory's side, sitting silently as she watched the new acquaintance with her cold gaze. She wasn't sure about the teen, and while the Pokémon didn't sense anything necessarily bad from him, she still worried about her partner...a quality the dark type gained through their time traveling so far, not to mention all the time they'd seen each other and she'd kept watch over the red head.
