>>44301260Thanks! It’s the snarky but heartful old person vibe. There is some more too her, namely her connection to the 6th gym leader.
Decades ago they where in a where engaged field research partners. That ended after Hornbeam lost her legs, and dispite promising to stay with her, he abruptly walked out one night without warning. To add insult to injury, he went on to become the most venerated wildlife photographer in the region while Hornbeam was stuck in her museum. The DoD makes Hornbeam host his tours (it’s a propaganda thing) every year or she’ll loose her status as an educational center. She takes the opportunity each time to meet up with him on his way out of town, to spitefully ask if he’s “leaving so soon?”
