Seafolk Village

Salvador is yanked inside the noodle restaurant (with a slight squeak). Once inside, Salvador takes a look around the establishment.

Salvador: Oh, what a charmingly rustic little place. Very homely, nice choice of establishment.... Y-Yvan.

Salvador's voice is slightly breaking as he talks

-Yvan thinks back to earlier today-

Earlier Today

Manager: Sir, you're renting out the whole place?

Yvan: Did I not make it clear myself?

Manager: Well, uh, you do have the money, so-

Yvan: And I need to see your staff.

-The staff line up in front of Yvan-

Alright, tonight, I'll need you all to forget everything that doesn't involve fine dining or breathing.

-Beat-

...And also important things like your name and such.

-He pulls out Solgaleo's recipe-

Also there's a recipe I'll need you to make in a very specific way...

Now

Yvan: I've done so much to get here, I can't give up now...

Er, our seat's this way...

Salvador nods and silently follows Yvan, looking down and wringing his hands in nervousness.

Salvador: Oh! Why, thank you, Yvan.

He takes his seat, and tucks the lower half of his hair underneath the table so no-one trips on it.

Salvador looks away from Yvan, twiddling his fingers, before finally making eye-contact with him.

Salvador: So... how's.... things?

Salvador: Solgaleo? I did not know your were friends with the Sun's Emissary, Yvan.

Salvador looks down and squeezes his hands.

Salvador: Though, I guess it is to be expected that you'd know Solgaleo. You deities see to form like-minded friendship groups... after all.

Salvador pauses.

Salvador: It... Isn't disrespectful to say that, is it?

-Yvan sweats-

Yvan: ...No not at all why would you think that

Salvador: Apologies! Apologies, I just... don't know what sort of talk is acceptable between a deity and a mortal and what isn't... don't want to step on anyone's toes.

The poor guy, he's completely at loss in how to act casual around legendaries.

Salvador gives a soft smile to Yvan.

Salvador: Drinks would be great.

Wela Volcano Park:

My hand goes to the fifth ball.

Filros: By the way, Nyneve, this looks like a good time to practice your abilities.

Nyneve: <Well, I, well...> Gulping, although it comes off more like a squeak ~I'll try my best, but I really, I don't, I...~

Beldame: ~It's all right, darling, I'm here, I'm ready to help if needed, and they won't test you this once, but I must stress that I agree with their methods this once, you need to overcome this~ To Beanie <I'd start thinking about it, it's an answer you should find before it ends.>

We've stopped. Skotos walks around, practicing forms. They end up tripping on a rock, earning a grin from Beldame. Was it for the Stufful?
Then I notice a remarkably undressed man.

Filros: Are we waiting for them?

-Shaun and Ace are walking here, discussing Alolan forms again, when Shaun notices Cynthia and Embry.-

Shaun: "Hey, does something look up with her to you?"

Ace: "Not really. She reminds me of someone, and her fashion is a little...odd, but I'm wearing a tuxedo and monocle, and I have a sword cane, so..."

Shaun: "Hello there, ma'am!"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Cynthia: Uh? Err... Hi.

She seems a bit uneased to be talked to.

Salvador: I'll have a Lemon, Lime and Bitters s'il vous plaît.

Salvador gulps slightly as he stares back at Yvan.

Salvador: You look...

Salvador squints as he scans Yvan's attire. Though, his blurry vision obscures the finer details of the deities current garments.

Salvador: Splendid!

Outside the establishment, a Wailmer carrying an elderly looking cyborg Gallade and a female Meowstic bobs up and down in the waves. The Meowstic is currently looking inside the establishment via a pair of binoculars.

Shaka: <So how's our boy faring?>

Thérèse turns up to look at Shaka and makes a throat slitting gesture.

Which prompts Shaka to sigh deeply and rub his temples.

-Yvan sweats further as the waiter goes off to get their drinks-

Yvan: Er, thanks! You look... um...

...Fabulous.

Wynaut!Anthony: <Smooth.>

Yvan: <One more crack like that and I'll put you right back where you came from.>

Wynaut!Anthony: <You want my help or not?>

Salvador blushes in response

Salvador: Why.. thank you! I was afraid it'd be a bit... too much.

Salvador smiles softly and looks away.

Salvador: So.. hows.... things...?

Thérèse groans as she flops flat on the Wailmer's back.

Thérèse: <I swear. One of the two is either gonna get heatstroke or melt before we get to any of the juicy bits>

Shaka: <Should we intervene?>

Thérèse sits back up and peers back into the restaurant with her binoculars.

Thérèse: <Not quiiiiiite yet.>

Thérèse sighs

Thérèse: <Though this is kinda painful to watch>

Shaka: <I had to watch his father attempt to flirt with his mother back in the day. The amount of secondhand embarrassment couldn't be worse than that>

Thérèse: -Chuckling- <Always the wingman, arentcha? Y'old codger> Beat <Say, when would that have happened anyway? Chronologically speaking>

Shaka <Hm? Oh, early last year>

Thérèse: <Well then.>

Salvador tugs at the lime green turtleneck

Thérèse: <I think we might need to intervene soon>

Shaka merely sighs and shakes his head with a soft chuckle.

Wela Volcano Park:

Nyneve: ~Uh, ok. I'll try.~ To Claydol ~You were talking about, uh, meditation?~

Finally. I walk over to shake his hand.

Filros: Good morning. I'm called Filros, and I was thinking about facing the trials, although it's not completely clear what they actually are. I heard those are type-themed, and so the Fire one seemed a pretty good start.

Seafolk Noodle House

Wynaut!Anthony: <Quick, change the subject while you've got the chance!>

Yvan: Uuh, nice little town this is.

Claydol: ~Call me Zenyatta. And yes, I was.~
