[Following the other trainer's gaze to the Slowpoke, Lilith laughs softly.]

There does seem to be quite a range of dispositions among them, doesn't there? Did you catch that Slowpoke in Azalea Town, by any chance?

[The well just outside town certainly seemed like a popular spot for them, and while Lilith is a historian first and foremost, she's got some naturalist to her as well. She's curious about species distribution.]

[nellacerniera]

I didn't. Teodoro there was the one given to me upon my arrival.

[He's clearly fond.]

I've considered going back and catching another--or one of the ones that looked a bit different, though. I believe they're referred to as Galarian Slowpokes?

[painsplit]

[She nods in understanding at the explanation, and then her face lights up at the mention of a Galarian form.]

Yes, one of the regional variants! It makes me wonder what Galar is like to cause adaptive evolution in a few different Pokemon breeds... But I haven't been able to get a straight answer on where it is, even just in relation to Johto.

[nellacerniera]

It's curious, isn't it? I haven't been able to find a map that shows more than just Johto and Kanto...

[What if they want to know what the world at large looks like!!]

[painsplit]

It is curious! It seems like Johto and Kanto are somewhat isolated, but clearly it wasn't always that way, or the variants wouldn't be here to begin with...

[Lilith is no conspiracy theorist-- Or so she'd say, but the truth is she got roped along in enough of her sister's childhood investigations that it'd be easy for her to come up with some ideas as to why this is. However, she's also someone who values manners, and she realizes now she's forgotten hers so far.]

Excuse me, of course... My name is Lilith Clawthorne.

[nellacerniera]

[And Bucciarati looks at least somewhat sheepish as he realizes he's neglected to introduce himself as well.

Or, well, the thought hadn't really occurred to him until just now. Oops.]

Of course... Bruno Bucciarati, pleased to make your acquaintance.

[painsplit]

Likewise, Mr. Bucciarati.

[She isn't the best at socializing. The past couple of decades of her life have mostly been about work, and being the head of the Emperor's Coven didn't net a witch much downtime. But Lilith has been back in normal society back home for about long enough to recognize her social shortcomings. So she just feels kind of awkward here.]

What... What did you name your Slowpoke?

[nellacerniera]

[At some point in during the conversation, the Slowpoke finally seems to register that his trainer has gone to do something else. It's about this point where the little guy wanders over, only to plop down by Bucciarati's feet.

With a faint chuckle, Bucciarati scoops the Slowpoke up.]

His name's Teodoro. For the most part, I've been naming my Pokémon names from back home. [A pause.] Aside from my Skitty. She was already named Buttons when I received her.
