"Excuse me, may I possibly sit here?" A purple haired trainer asked the person in front of him. It was a weekday and afternoons were always very hectic, especially lunch time hours. Almost every restaurant was filled with loud noises. He hated it and therefore having no choice but to stuck in a cafe.
The female coordinator looked up from her phone and nodded quietly. Before she could acknowledge that it was a guy she'd known for a long time, Paul realised it the second the girl lifted her head.
Shiny cobalt hair with azure eyes. Awfully familiar, huh?
Without taking the initiative, he murmured a thanks instead and sat at the comfy seat placed beside him.
"W-Wait." She glances up from her phone again, taking a close look. "Paul? Out of all people? My piplup must be willing to evolve then."
"Yeah. Its easy to recognise you with the short temper of yours." He swiftly replied and continued opening the wrapper of his sandwich.
Dawn sighed exaggeratedly, rolling her eyes. "Yeah just say whatever you want, Paul. If you knew it was me in the first place, then why dont you ask?"
"Too troublesome."
"Wow, that certainly answers my question really well." She spoke in a sarcastic tone. A moment later, she began to wonder from the 'conversation' she just had with him. "How did you even realise it was me in the first place? Like, anyone could have blue hair and blue eyes at Sinnoh."
"The bubbly and positive attitude of yours. For some reason, you're the only one that managed to make a clear impression out of anybody else, not counting Ash." Paul said as if it was a matter of fact. They locked gazes for a few seconds, which his intense silvery eyes boring through hers.
Dawn's face was tinted pink with his answer. H-He managed to remember me after 4 years? The only time I truely talked to him was the night before the league battle between Ash and him though...Well, his answer was very Paul-like, as expected of him.
A small but sincere smile was formed onto her soft lips. The silence they shared was comfortable and neither of them felt awkward to not speaking. Dawn continued to sat on her seat while Paul began to stand up.
"I got to leave soon. It was nice to see you though."
"Yeah, me too." Dawn stared at the tall figure until it disappeared from her sight. When she happened to glance at the wooden table, the exact amount of money used for buying his sandwich and her cup of coffee was placed in front of his empty seat.
That was really typical of him. She let out a small giggle to herself. The soft jazz music continued to spread across the cafe, as if nothing had happened.
