skirt pocket. She taps at her phone, typing in Kieran's number.

And maybe putting a little heart next to his name in the contacts.

"Ok, here's my number," she replies, holding her phone up for him!

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 4d

It's a wonder that Lillie doesn't start giggling at Kieran's struggles. The costume was cool, but it seemed a little cumbersome for him. Instead, she was more shocked that he'd suggest it.

"Of course! Hold on, I'll get mine out and..."

It's much easier for her to pull her phone out of her

"Y-Yeah! Totally! Uhm..."

Kieran continued to fidget with the large sleeves of his costume, trying to wrestle a Rotom phone from his pocket.

"Here, I can.. uhm.. I can give you my number! So we can chat or plan a date whenever."

Hands freed from their costume prison once more, they tapped at —

to meet up? I think that would be great. It doesn't have to be a special occasion or anything, even if we just meet up for lunch sometime?"

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 6d

"He's not my boyfriend, w-we're just friends!"

Cue blush.

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 6d

"R-right. We still get to hang out."

If only there was a way to make sure they could stay in contact with each other...trading phone numbers would do, but would that be too forward?

"And I want to do it more often with you too. So um...if there's a way we could...you know...figure out times

𝙚𝙭-𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥 @blueberryogre.bsky.social · 7d

Her too, huh?

If only that wonderful Gala had gone on forever...
But—! They were together once more. No need to sit around wondering when they could see each other again. The moment was now!

"E-Even if its not the date we planned for... we still get to hang out.
That's good enough for m-me. —

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

I missed you," she says, her tone turning a bit shy. "I wanted to stay in that moment forever...just talking and having fun with each other."

She glances away slightly after the admission. Her blush growing a little bit.

"It's nice to be able to be myself around people."

"I don't know if this is the date you were imagining, but I'm looking forward to it."

She too was surprised by the quick response. Lillie had been thinking about Kieran a lot since they'd parted, wondering how he'd been doing, and when she'd get to see him again.

"I...erm...

𝙚𝙭-𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥 @blueberryogre.bsky.social · 7d

Without a moment of hesitation, Kieran responds with a shy but joyful...

"Y-Yes—! I'd love to!"

His response was so quick that he surprised... himself!
But there was nothing to be surprised by, truthfully. The Kitikami boy had been daydreaming of when he'd see Lillie again ever since they —

"...a-as partners. Like a date? Like when you took me to the dance? I'd like that, I like spending time with you."

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

It seemed like a good idea in her head, so she was happy that Kieran agreed!

"We can spend Halloween together, as a..."

A little blush forms as soon as she thinks of it. Despite this, she doesn't back down from the idea. Be courageous, Lillie, or the things that you want in life will slip

𝙚𝙭-𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥 @blueberryogre.bsky.social · 7d

"One like mine—?
You.. mean, w-we could match?"

Kieran adored this idea. They'd gone as a pair to a dance, so the two ought to pair up again for Halloween! He'd get to spend another night with her...

"Y-Yeah!! I got more back home! I'll let you have one." He exclaimed, excited nodding —

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

"I know so."

Likewise, if there was anyone she wanted to impress, it was Kieran. She wanted him to think she was cute. She lets out a soft giggle, an idea forming!

"Maybe I'll wear a mask too? That way I can be your cool nurse sidekick?"

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

Lillie's Vulpix lets out a yip in greeting to both trainer and Pokemon! Wherever Lillie went, the snowy-coated fox was always with her.

"That's right, I'm planning on taking some samples of the soil to the Foundation to see if our scientists can replicate it in some way."

🖤✨Champion Of Ideals✨🖤 @idyllicrose.bsky.social · 7d

Rosa waves right back, approaching Lillie with a smile! Sushi seems to be following right behind the brunette, the Oshawott never being too far behind his trainer!

"A little bit, yeah! Are you here doing research on them for your mother?"

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

"Oh Rosa!"

She waves to her with a smile. It had been a bit since she'd seen Rosa, hopefully she was doing well.

"Are you interested in the hot springs too?"

𝙚𝙭-𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥 @blueberryogre.bsky.social · 7d

Him? Mysterious and strong?

"Y-You really think so?"

The growing red in Kieran's cheeks threatened all the green of his costume.

He quickly lowered the mask to cover it up, hoping to maintain that cool image Lillie had of him. If there was anyone he wanted to impress—it'd be her.

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

That smile, she really did like it! She can't help but keep smiling, spurred on by his.

"It looks cool. I really like the mask too, it makes you look so mysterious and strong!"

Festival Mask? From Kitakami, if she remembered right.

It isn't too long before a large shadow is cast over the town, vanishing as soon as it appeared! The brunette soon enters the town, curiously looking around before she spots the other girl reading the signs.

"Lillie! Is that you?"

The brunette would call out!

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

Lillie's taking a little bit to read some of the signage around the area. Learning more about this environment could help with creating new environments at the Foundation, right?

"The sand is heated from the hot spring?"

His hands fumble around with the hoodie's long sleeves, one freeing just enough to lift his mask up.

A smile peeks through. It felt like it'd been ages since he'd seen Lillie!

"Y-Yeah, it's comfy...
Gives me an excuse to wear my festival mask again, too."

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

Just because he thought she'd look cute!

"I'm so happy to see you again Kieran."

She trots right over, keeping that happy smile on her face.

"Are you already dressing up for Halloween?"

Wah—!

Already decided? Just like that? All because he thought she'd look cute?

It's a good thing he's got the mask on to hide the sudden burst of red in his cheeks.

"I— Ah, Hi Lillie..."

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

"Oh Kieran!"

She heard him! Lillie turns to her friend and gives him a very happy smile!

"Then it's settled, I'll go as a nurse!"

Kieran has defaulted to the costume he wears almost every year; his teal mask replica, and an oversized hoodie resembling Ogerpon's 'cloak.'

"A nurse... sounds cute..."

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

"Halloween is coming up, isn't it? I haven't figured out what I want to be for it either...last year I was a witch...maybe I'll be a nurse this year?"

She'll likely arrive at the Pokemon Center soon enough then! If becoming more outgoing is something Lillie wants to try doing, then Rosa is definitely a good person to have helping out!

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

Lillie's not opposed to it. She has to learn to be more outgoing with other people anyway, so this is a good opportunity!

If Lillie is interested in meeting up, Rosa could absolutely make her way over! She's been keeping up with the Aether Foundation's work for a while now....It's all interesting!

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

Lillie will be in the region for a fair bit still, she'd really just gone to sightsee, take a little vacation from helping her mother with Aether Foundation work.

Lavaridge Town, huh? Rosa can hardly remember the last time she's been there.... She can absolutely agree with Lillie about those hot springs!

Maybe she'll pay the region a visit again soon!

Lillie Aether @aetherheiress.bsky.social · 7d

So what has Lillie been up to these days?

Well, she's in Hoenn right now. It's a pretty tropical area, and while her fear of bodies of water has prevented her from going too close to the sea, she has found Lavaridge Town to be a great vacation spot.

The hot springs are just divine!

(So uh

If anyone has me on Twitter, don't freak out if my account isn't there. Elon is being a pain in the ass. Archer got suspended.

I also lost Will, Holly, Haru (P5), Katy, Amelia, and Lilith (Hazbin Hotel) on Twitter.

Most of them are on here, but God. Twitter pisses me off.
