[ There's a curious someone fiddling around with her PokéGear. She's a little surprised she managed to click it on, since she's never actually dealt with much technology. ]

Ah... um, hello. [ Her surprise is replaced by a reserved sort of smile. It's pretty brittle--she's not supposed to be here. So why is she, then? Carefully, she tucks a bit of hair behind her ear. A nervous habit, but it's not one she actually notices. ] I'm a little... confused. I'm not sure what's going on, and-- [ Wait. Is that... music in the background? It's faint, and she hadn't really noticed it until she was lost in thought. ] I think I might be hearing things, but... is there music playing somewhere?

[ She lets out a little sigh and gives the Minccino beside her a pat on the head. ] I think I just need a little bit of help, or... an explanation.

Well ... do you know where you're supposed to go?

_{[Let's start with what she can help with, right?]}

[shatterings]

[ Everyone's been so helpful lately, it's a definite relief. She nods once. ]

Yes... Cherrygrove City. To the west.

[walkersystem]

It takes three days to go there. It's easier if you have a friend to go with, cause then you can help each other.

I mean ... your pokémon will help you, too. But it's nice with company anyway.

[shatterings]

I think I have one at least... um, a travel companion. A human one. [ It feels important to make that distinction--and it honestly probably is. ]

[walkersystem]

_{[Molly nods seriously. She'd started out the first day alone, but then she caught up with someone, and it made things a lot less scary and lonely to hang out with someone else.]}

Okay! That's good.

Did you know you have a map on the gear? It's not very good but it can help you anyway. So you don't get lost.

[shatterings]

A map... [ She concentrates as she fiddles with the Pokégear. Finally, she nods, and there's a bit of relief in her eyes. ] Oh, thank you.... it's very helpful. [ Now, hopefully, she won't get lost. ]

[walkersystem]

It's okay. It's better than not having a map at all.

<sub>[Molly has realized she has a few feelings about maps, since she got here and they weren't quite up to par.]

[She pauses for a moment, seems to think for a few.]</sub>

It's kinda scary being here at first, but ... I think you'll be okay. A lot of people are really nice. So you can pobably always get help if you ask.

[shatterings]

Mm. It is.

[ Naminé nods and hugs Mini close. ] I... think I've started getting used to things... maybe. It's a lot to take in, though. And... so many people have been so helpful already.
