"Yuri. That's a really nice name," Mabel said rather dreamily, unable to help but giggle. Oh he was cute and adorable and he had two adorable cats!

He was perfect.

His question at least gets her out of her daydreams for the moment and she blinks, looking around, then grins brightly, throwing her arms out wide.

"We were having a tea party!"

[borschtkot]

Yuri raises his brow at her, an incredulous furrow between them. What.. was wrong with her? She was acting weird. Little kids were weird as it was though so it wasn't like it was completely out of character.

"A tea party. With Slowpokes." This had to be the longest, most drawn out tea party ever. "...Alright, I guess. Sorry Potya and Podlyy interrupted."

He looks to them, reaching to scruff Pod to get his attention back. He sets the Purrloin on his feet then motions for them.

"Come on, you've been fed. You don't have to steal food from some random kid."

[maybeitsmabelline]

You're a little kid too, Yuri. Gosh.

"Yeah! It's been a lot of fun. So much gossip in this little town!" Mabel said before leaning in to Yuri as she side-eyed the crumb-faced Slowpoke, lifting one of her hands to partially block her mouth as she spoke to him. "See that one over there? She's a real trouble maker and totally has it out for Miss Fancypants Beantoes."

Mabel leaned away again as Yuri went to retrieve his Pokemon, momentarily pouting as she rocked back and forth on her heels before clapping her hands together.

"You should stay! For the party! Mister Whiskerface and Miss Fancypants Beantoes were enjoying themselves so you should stay awhile! Get comfortable..you know, just..stay!" With her. Hang out with her you absolutely adorable hunk of a young man.

[borschtkot]

Um, excuse, he is 16. What's Mabel? 8?

He stares at her, leaning just slightly away when she starts gossiping about the Slowpoke. What.. what was happening. Why was this happening.

"Miss Fancypan--what?"

Now he was completely keyed into what she was saying. He stares at her then grabs Potya up to hold her where Mabel could definitely see her and understand what he was about to half yell at her.

"Um, her name is Puma Tiger Scorpion! Or just Potya! Miss Fancypan--What even...You can't just..!!"

He said nothing about Mister Whiskerface.

[maybeitsmabelline]

You are so lucky you didn't say that to her face, mister!

Suddenly the Glameow is in her face and the handsome young man is telling her what it's actually name is and Mabel can't help but gasp, eyes going wide and yeah they are definitely sparkling as she slowly lifts her hands to her cheeks.

"Puma Tiger Scorpion?" she repeated, not even bothered by the fact that he had clearly been upset that she temporarily renamed his Pokemon. "That is the most amazing name I have ever heard in my entire life!"

[borschtkot]

Yeah, that's right Potya really did have the most amazing name and she really was the most amazing Pokemon to exist in the world of ever and Mabel needed to understand that if she wanted to get along here in this world.

Yuri was.. distracted instead by the fact that Mabel actually liked Potya's full name. Usually people ... would make fun of him for that.

"Huh..? It is?" He lowers Potya down, the Glameow liquifying to get out of Yuri's hands and drop back. She had to go wash Pod's face.

"I mean, obviously it is. Clearly. And his names is Podlyy but I just call him Pod usually." He motions at Pod... well, he guessed Pod Whiskerface now.

[maybeitsmabelline]

"Of course it is! It's so--so wild and untamed and perfect!" Mabel gushed, pressing her hands to her cheeks more, just so in awe that she was having trouble containing herself.

She snapped out of it a moment later and grabbed one of Yuri's hands in both of hers practically dancing in place.

"Mr. Whiskerface is fine how he is but Puma Tiger Scorpion is definitely the best! Do you have any others? I want to see them all! I bet you have amazing names for all of them!" She stopped dancing about and swung his arm back and forth, batting her eyelashes again as she looked at him in a dreamy manner. "You are just the most talented person ever, you know that? Thinking up names like that, you amazing namer person you!"

[borschtkot]

Oh boy, she would be disappointed. Yuri generally named his others after Slavic deities and less .. edgy like Potya. Maybe he hadn't tried hard enough. He wondered how many would let him re--well no, maybe just keep a theme with the cats...

But why was she holding his hand. This was weird. She reminded him a little of... his fanclub. Oh. Oh no, was she...? No, she didn't know his name. Thank God...

"I don't have any other cats yet, if that's what you--Okay, wait." He holds up a hand since his other was held hostage. "Naming isn't my talent, it's ice skating, so let's get that straight first..."

Potya watched suspiciously, eyeing the held hands. Really, Yuri. You were going to just.. let this happen, just because she was complimenting you? She was crazy.

[maybeitsmabelline]

"You're an ice skater??" Excuse her while she hones right in on that. "That's so cool! How long have you been skating? Do you get to wear pretty outfits?" Mabel stops and let's out a sharp gasp. "I could make you outfits I make the best outfits!"

Run Yuri. Run.

"And pfft, I'm sure you're talented at whatever you do, don't sell yourself sort just to try and impress me because I'm definitely impressed already!" Mabel said with a not really coy but she was trying to sound coy laugh. She's thirteen. Give her a break.

[borschtkot]

He can't run. She was still holding his hand.

"U-uh... Since.. I was just a kid, like.. three..." She was clearly completely insane and he should stop talking to her immediately. "Y-yeah, I wear.. stuff and.. things... I don't.. skate much here except in private though.."

Potya licks a foot daintily, side eyeing Yuri. Why don't you tell her you were a gold medalist, huh? She seems the type to like that sort of information.

"I'm not trying to impress you--are you okay? You made a weird sound just now.."
