Svetlana sat at a table, with her mask on, impatiently. Looking around, she sighed as it seemed like no one was coming to her table. She figured it was how she dressed, and quickly put on her coat, buttoning it to a decent point. "I wonder if I'll be left alone..." she said quietly to herself. She looked at her trainer bag at the side of her chair, wondering if she should go spend time with her Pokémon instead. Gaining the courage, she shook her head. "I signed up for this. I'm not going to walk away." she said, half-heartedly.

Blitz stopped by in front of Svetlana and looked at the girl. He smiled as he introduced himself to her. <"Hi my name is Jonathan."> He said and he asked for her name. He was wearing a mask so he was able to be someone else. He still had his signature black mask and his black wings on...
He hoped this girl would like wings. The one before did not and kicked him out pretty early. Hopefully this one would be different.
<"So what may her name be?"> He sat next to her with a cup of coffee at hand...

Svetlana turned red from embarrassment for her actions. "I'm uh...Svetlana. Hopefully you didn't see my little...display not to long ago." she said, slightly feeling insecure. She liked to stand out in appearance as well as with her personality. But since it was a masquerade, one major part of her wasn't necessary.
The guy's wings made her curious, but she tried not to pay attention to it. "I'm not used to this type of thing, sorry. So what types of pokemon do you like?" she asked cheerfully, feeling a little better about the situation. Although she felt uncomfortable, Svetlana wanted have as good of a time as she could.

Blitz was a bit confused when she said that she hoped he didn't see something... He had no idea what she meant, and he wasn't one who was good with social interactions so he had to ask. <"I'm sorry. I didn't. What did you do not too long ago?"> He was very curious now...
She seemed to have brushed the topic off quickly though when she moved on to "this type of thing." That confused him too... He wasn't good with cues. <"What type of thing?"> He asked to her...
But she quickly changed the topic again. To what pokemon he liked. He wanted to try a new technique now, let the girl speak and just listen... <"What kind of pokemon do you like? I am not sure right now, so maybe after you speak I'll have a better idea."> He said to the girl as he awaited her answers.
It was a nice time between them, two awkward kids next to each other trying not to be awkward. These were always the best interactions.

Svetlana blinked and exhaled quickly. He didn't see so she felt better. "Well, never mind that. I meant masquerading around, meeting people. It makes it so much more intimidating, since you can't really tell emotions through masks." she said, taking a sip from a cup of tea that a waitress brought over to her earlier.
She felt awkward, but yet relaxed. "Well, I don't really have a favorite type of pokemon either." she said before she took another sip of her tea. The guy seemed a bit hesitant around her, and Svetlana started to feel like she's overpowering the conversation. "I'm sorry if it feels like I'm just hogging the conversation. If you'd like to ask me anything, go right ahead." she said, feeling a bit nervous.

Blitz felt a bit more as ease as the girl was being very generous and being very kind to him. He felt that he was definitely improving here, at least he was learning who he would talk to and who he wouldn't... Someone like Svetlana was much easier to bond with then someone like Vio.
<"It's hard to say favorite type because as a trainer, you are technically supposed to be a bit impartial. But I do have to say I like Electric and Fire a lot. Not like I don't like others either. What about you? He then asked the girl.">
And he felt a bit more at ease when she felt a bit nervous also. <"You can ask me anything also. I know that it is awkward and weird, I'm just as nervous as you are as I am not one who usually interacts with others all the time. This is a nice experience for me because I'm rather shy.">
He sort of regretted his words the minute they came out, that was how he got rejected last time... But this girl wasn't the same as the last one, she was much more friendly

Svetlana propped her chin with her hand in thought. "I know what you mean about pokemon types. I'm impartial myself, but I do like Grass and Bug types. I tend to lean towards pokemon that are unique in some way. she replied. She felt relieved about how the other person was pretty much in the same boat as she was.
She stared off in the distance, and laughed. Svetlana realized that the person"Looks like your mask stole your shyness. Mine stole my in-your-face energy." she said in an amused tone. The person seemed to have said something that struck a chord with himself, so she only wanted him to feel less strung up. "Either way, it's helping us talk, right?" she asked with a smile. Even if she didn't have her full on energy at the moment, she could still try to at least make him feel better.

Blitz was happy to be getting along so well with Svetlana. It was definitely nice to have a friend that he could talk to and just be around... Not a rival, not a person he wanted to battle. Just a friend. He hadn't had one of these since... very early in his journey where he met a pokemorph like him.
He looked at her and decided to ask how she felt about his wings. The other person liked it, hopefully Svetlana would too. "So, how do you like my wings? I will let you in on a little secret, they may or may not be real." He said and then he chuckled. He hid his true self which was that he did have wings, but not the ones that she probably saw here.
It was good to talk to someone, but he still had a lot of trust issues so he wasn't going to relate his real life to her right here and right now... That would come with time. Not here. And definitely not now.

Svetlana fell silent for a second, feeling as if he could tell she was trying hard to ignore his wings. "Well, I've never met someone with wings before. Don't worry, I'm not weirded out or anything. Its something completely new to me." she felt relieved that she was able to let it out rather than blatently blurting out whatever she wanted about them. She was fine with the wings, but they did make her feel a little odd.
She tilted her head to the side lightly. "They must draw a lot of attention though. It must be hard, since you said that you are typically shy." she said, thinking about what it would be like to have wings. If she had wings , Svetlana knew she'd probably feel a bit shy because of them.

Blitz felt weird when she asked if he must feel weird with them. He didn't want to tell her the truth that he had never sprouted his wings at all, so yes he hates the wings because it causes him great pain every full moon. He didn't want to be that honest yet, so he decided to make up a lie instead.
"Actually they hide me from having to interact with others when I do get too shy. They are very helpful in that." He said as he looked at his wings and smiled. They looked kind of fake if one looked close enough, but from a distance they did look real.
"I know it must be weird that you are seeing someone with wings. But see, I was born not from humans but rather from Staraptors. Must be weird hearing that since your favorite type is bug." He chuckled after saying that.
The minute he said it though, he started to get nervous and started to regret speaking of it. It made him sound like a weirdo, like a lab experiment. He was worried now that Svetlana was going to judge him.

Svetlana almost jumped when she was told that the person was born from pokemon. "That doesn't sound too bad. I mean, having pokemon as parents? It makes me feel like having human parents is boring." she said in amazement. She started to think about what the guy went through as a kid, and felt awkward. "It must've been awkward growing up though..." she added, somewhat quietly.
She felt bad for the person, since he seems to have had a lot of problems that he had to deal with. It made her feel as if she shouldn't keep going with the conversation, since it seems to be affecting him a lot. "We can change the subject, if you don't feel comfortable talking about that stuff." she said, getting the awkward feeling once again.

Blitz knew he would regret it and he did... Now she was getting into his personal life and she was going to find things out about him. Like the fact the he wasn't telling her the whole truth so far because he didn't want his true self to come out and scare her...
But she seemed to have passed every obstacle he threw her way already... Maybe she could handle this one also. He was going to test her...
"Actually I have never met my parents. I know, shocking isn't it? They sort of 'left' right after my birth. I have no idea who they are or what they look like. I just assumed they were Staraptors."
The next question really hit him hard. Because life was hard growing up... He stopped for a second and stood there looking at her with his crimson red eyes shining through the mask. "It was difficult. I will say, it was very difficult. There were so many nights I wish I could forget." But he stopped himself as he saw that he was ruining the mood.
"Lets get to a happier topic. That just sounds very depressing. What about your life?" He asked her.

Svetlana scratched her face in embarrassment. "Well, I just grew up in Hoenn. I've always been around nature, so I tend to appreciate being out on routes and stuff." she started, trying to figure out how to describe her time in Fortree City. "Everyone was a bit too mellow. Being someone with a lot of energy, I guess you can say I was treated as the 'demon child' by a lot of people."
She said feeling a bit awkward about herself. "Since people generally didn't like me, I always would go into the forests and stuff to have fun on my own. So although I'm very personable, I never really spent much time with others." she added. She felt slightly embarrassed about saying that much.

"Demon Child..." That left Blitz's tongue really quickly and he simply laughed when he heard it. "I was called many things too. Demon Child was a popular favorite of my enemies." He said to Svetlana to make her feel better as there were others just like her.
"I also tend to spend most of my days in nature also. It is my only time to be at peace and have my own thoughts running. I feel at ease in nature and I feel it is where I belong most of the times as I do not have to go out of my way to fit in."
He then gave it some thought and decided to let her in on some little secrets of his. "But I do have to say that since I've been here... The experience has been much better than back home. What about you?"
He also decided to tell her another secret.
"I feel more at ease next to pokemon than I do next to humans. I feel more comfortable talking to them and hearing them." He said to her.
He then stopped and waited to see how she would respond.

"I love being here and all, but it's not much different. The only real difference is that people are a little more accepting of what I'm like here." she responded truthfully. As much as she liked being at home, she loved being in Cheyenne just as much.
Svetlana smiled at the thought of the forests back home. "I just like it for how non-restrictive it feels. I mean, being around buildings and stuff is fine, but when you're away from it, the world seems to be endless." she said, imagining herself back in the forests.
"I get along with pokemon as well as I do people. Although, I do end up running into the ones with the weirdest personalities." she said, shuddering at the reminder of the perverted Nincada that tried courting her. It still make her feel creeped out by it, although she did catch it.

"Weird personalities? Like what?" Blitz had to ask... He thought about all the pokemon he captured and could not think of any weird personalities... Although there was time when he thought he was in love with a Skitty himself and he took attacks from his own Elekid to save the Skitty.
But he can not think of any weird personalities from opposing pokemon at all. That was probably the oddest occasion for him... Maybe after she speaks he'd remember some himself.
He also thought this this conversation started to get a little boring so he wanted to spice it up. They kept talking about each other, so why not have fun and play a game now?
"You know, this isn't an autobiography so lets talk about something else. Lets play a fun little game... Do you know rock-paper-scissor?" He asked. He had no idea what other game they could play. But this might be fun in relieving some stress...
It felt like both were forcing the conversation lately

"Well, my Nincada for one. He tried to court with me and fought my pokemon to get me. I caught him anyway to teach him a lesson later on." she said, laughing. She was hoping that her little example would make the conversation lighter.
When she heard the guy ask to play rock-paper-scissors, she shrugged. "Why not, and yes, I know how to play." she said with a smile. She found it amusing that they were supposed to be on a "date", but it seems more just like they are hanging out for fun. She held her hand up in the air, curled into a light fist. She figured if playing a couple games would make the conversation not so dense, then why not.

"That's actually very funny because I ran into a Skitty who put me under her spell with attract. I took a bullet for her basically when I intervened and was shocked by my Elekid. I also caught her, but I did it as I did not want her to be hurt anymore... When I was in a trance." He said to Svetlana.
He held his fist out when she agreed to play rock paper scissor and he shook his fist a couple of times before making a scissor sign. After he did it, he pondered a question out loud. "I wonder what they were thinking when they made this game. How does scissor beat a rock? A rock would destroy a scissor easily... And paper is the flimsiest thing ever. How would it beat anything?" He said while laughing out loud.
He hoped this would lighten up the mood by a good portion.

Svetlana laughed at the game. She was going to shake her fist into the shape of scissors, but was too busy laughing."Well, I never thought about it like that. They should have done their research before coming up with a silly game. A rock can easily go through paper, but paper goes over rock? It's weird." she said with a little smirk. It helped made the conversation completely light-hearted like it was in the beginning.
"A Skitty used attract on you? I can't even begin to think of what that must have been like. Plus, you took an attack from your own pokemon. It must have hurt, but at least you can look back and laugh, right?" she said still trying to keep the conversation amusing. She felt bad for making it darker earlier. Since it changed for the better, Svetlana was gonna try to keep it at how it was going at the moment.

Blitz laughed. "It wasn't fun, I can tell you that. The thundershock of my Elekid did hurt, especially because we have a personal rivalry between us and he wanted to hurt me however he can." Blitz said while laughing.
"And it was the weirdest feeling, being attracted to a Skitty. I can assure it, I had never felt that weird in my entire life before... It was definitely something I was not used to at all. That I can assure you." He said with another smile.
"So do you have any other funny stories? I can think of what I have but right now I'm not too sure... I remember the first time I talked to a pokemon, that was the weirdest experience ever. I had no idea I could speak to them at all..." He said with another smile.
He started to feel a lot more comfortable now. He was actually smiling, not faking it.
