Valorie smiled in a bashful manner. "I'm still working on that too..." she admitted quietly before perking up a bit as her composure was regained. "I'm sure it'll look really awesome when I master this though!~" she added cheerily. "My name's Valorie, by the way. Valorie Ryder."

Clemont: Did someone call for me?

Deziree: I'm sure you will! I'm Deziree. Deziree Galvani. I can skate, too, but I'm not that good at the tricks yet.

-Herbert doesn't look up immediately.-
Herbert: Trying to write some research notes. "Trying" being the key word in that sentence. Turns out that science requires a lot of work. PEFE's never going to take me in that this rate...
-He turns his attention to Sakura and points at her with his pencil in a gesture that is probably far more dramatic than it needs to be.-
Herbert: By the way, you need to keep a better eye on your Greninja. He's been going around stealing stuff and nearly killed me with fright yesterday.

-Crewe hesitates, frowning-
Um... technically yes. But it won't be useful. I can't use it anymore.
-she creates a shield-
As for these... they aren't solid. They can block special attacks, though. I can even make clothes by imbuing fabric with them. They protect the wearer afterwards.
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!Courmarine
Valorie beamed slightly. "I can do a twirl! ...Sometimes~" she offered coyly. It was, perhaps, an exaggeration. "What I'm really looking forward to is being able to go fast without losing control though~" she continued on to admit.

-Leonard huffs and brushes his jacket off, more for the sake of the gesture than any actual attempt to clean dust off of it.-
Leonard: Reputation is everything, Cleo. That's really all there is to it.

-Shard tilts her head curiously.-
Shard: ...Interesting. Could make use of such techniques. No use in a shield that collapses upon being struck, however. And what do you mean, "can't use it anymore"?
-To DS-
Yeah, it is.
-To Fool-
How are we going to do this in the least scarring way possible?

Deziree: Well, for that, you have go get used to braking. Depending on the skates, you either have to twists your feet like this...
-She twists her legs to mimic her advice.-
Deziree: Or this...
-She leans back on her heels.-
Deziree: But not like this...
-She twists again, apparently not getting quite how ridiculous she looks.-
Lower Coumarine
Fool does a slow and completely dorky shrug.
Fool: I don't know. I'm not really good with tact, that's not my department.

Cleo gets a tad bit pensive, before replying to Leonard.
Cleo: I don't give two shits what people think of me Leonard, I just want people to respect me. To give credit where it's due, like your Grand Aunt, Lydia. Not many people like her, but you be damned to find anyone in Kalos who doesn't give her respect.

Valorie couldn't help but smile. Dorks were pleasant to be around; they didn't threaten her self-confidence or anything!
"Alright..!~" she replied rather coyly. "Like this?" she asked, mimicking Deziree's movements. She however was much less stable because she was actually on skates and promptly lost her balance, falling on her butt again with a squeak.

Robin: You're the gym leader? Uh...I expected someone taller.
Never mind that, though. How does this...Thing work? Do we just fight now, or is there some stadium and-what's that on your back?

Guess it's gonna be like ripping off a scab then.
-To DS-
We need to talk. All three of us.

-Herbert's tone becomes somewhat sardonic as he answers Sakura.-
Herbert: Well, you're mistaken, because he nicked Duke's armband and used it to scare the shit out of me. Maybe you should teach him that other people generally don't like having their shit stolen? Or that people aren't particularly keen on being suddenly accosted by squads of hostile ninja frogs who look like they're about to start mugging somebody? Some basic obedience lessons would really help reign that nuisance in, you know.

-Leonard raises a rather impressed eyebrow at Cleo.-
Leonard: ...You understand the way things work surprisingly well. Speaking of Aunt Lydia, I suppose I ought to visit her at some point... she how she's getting on and all that.

-Shard leans against the wall, examining her Obscura blade curiously for a moment before dispelling it.-
Shard: We have time.

Valorie gratefully accepted the hand, as she would've struggled immensely to get back up otherwise. She giggled nervously at her own mistake. "Yeah... I guess I just have trouble balancing~" she said with a shrug.
