Just a short break, then you'll start getting an overview of the gym leaders. Yeah.
The others are mostly occupied with their own study or pokemon, barring Gareth and Jean, who're having a hushed conversation as you go around the edge of the camp, flicking the odd piece of missed blackberry vine into the bush, before you go back into your tent, where Fie is just now rolling out her sleeping bag.
"Hey, just taking a break?" She asks.
You nod.
"Can't sit around studying all afternoon." You reply.
Fie nods.
"That's true enough." She says, flopping down on her sleeping bag. "Still, the rain's not going to be letting up any time between now and tomorrow morning, so not a lot else to do. Unless you want to give everyone a heart attack again." She adds lightly.
"Two concussions are more than enough for one week." You reply, pulling out your sleeping bag to join her.
You sit in companionable silence for a while, before a thought occurs to you.
"So, your dad gets protective where boys are involved, huh?" You ask.
Fie shrugs.
"Protective is the wrong way to characterise it. Selective might be a better way to think of it." She replies.
"Selective?" You ask.
"He doesn't want me hooking up with a trainer, he wants me to marry a 'working man'." Fie replies, rolling her eyes. "He thinks the reason me and my brother don't have 'real jobs' is because we got into pokemon training." She explains.
