So...right now Mira and I were traveling on Route 45. We're still some time out, but eventually it loops back around, and we'll pretty much be close to where we started, right?

We were talking about what we wanted to do after that, and...we're thinking about maybe finding a place to live first? Neither of us have started the gym challenges yet, but I think I'd prefer to have a more permanent place to stay first before doing that, just so we have somewhere to go back to in between taking on the gyms, y'know?

But I'm not entirely sure how to go about...getting a house? It was never really a problem back where we came from, but I know things are pretty different here. So maybe if anyone has any advice for places that are affordable or anything? That'd be a big help.

...uh, thanks.

Everyone has been quite kind...I do appreciate it, thank you.

[Ah. There's the million pokebuck question.]

Well...I am the Queen. [Pause.] 'Was', I suppose, it's not like my kingdom is here.

[neverbreaks]

[ Luisa blinks. ] Oh wow...you're really a queen? That's amazing.

And I mean, just because your kingdom is somewhere else doesn't mean you're not a queen anymore. But would you prefer people not call you that while you're here?

[desirestruth]

It'd be rude of me to demand that kind of respect, wouldn't it? Certainly, I haven't the power or responsibilities that come with the title...nor have I earned them here.

[She shrugs a little.]

My name is Naeva.

[neverbreaks]

I guess that's true. The title wouldn't really mean much without anything to support it, huh?

[ She doesn't really know much about those kinds of things. There wasn't really much of a government system where she's from. ]

It's nice to meet you. I'm Luisa.

[desirestruth]

I like to think of it as a vacation...Queens don't usually get those.

[She nods her head a bit, but Remy has tired of not getting attention and pops his head up into view to yip.]

Oh! And this would be Remy. We're both pleased to meet you.

[neverbreaks]

That's a good way to look at it. [ Luisa can definitely relate to that. ]

Oh, that's your partner? [ She waves at the Riolu. ] It's nice to meet you too. I don't have the partner I started with here with me, but uh...

[ She looks somewhere offscreen, then makes a motion for something to come closer and tilts the screen to bring the approaching Hisuian Arcanine into view. ]

This is Mullido.

[desirestruth]

Oh! My goodness, he's quite handsome.

[PUBBY!!!

Her expression actually totally lit up. For once, she's easy to read...someone likes dogs.]

[neverbreaks]

[ Luisa definitely takes note of that reaction, as Mullido seems to fluff up a bit. ]

Thank you. [ She reaches up to scratch under Mullido's chin. ] One of the reasons my sister and I wanna get a place of our own is because some of our Pokemon, like Mullido here, are pretty big, so we want a place with some room for them to stretch.

[desirestruth]

I can see why that's important...in a pinch, could you also live somewhere near open wilderness? Though I suppose there are dangers to that...

[neverbreaks]

I don't think either of us would mind some open space. But yeah, it would depend on how much wilderness. I think we also wanted a place at least near to a town, so we could get things when we need to.

There's definitely a lot more to think about than I expected.

[desirestruth]

First time moving somewhere?

[Naeva you lived alone in the woods for a century what do you know.]

I'm sure it will work out. The people here seem very willing to help.

[neverbreaks]

Pretty much. All of my family has lived in the same house ever since it was built, and it isn't difficult to just build a new house for someone who arrives where we live, so this is all pretty different.

But thanks. There has been a lot of good advice, so hopefully it'll be a bit easier.
