Staring was probably one of her specialities, and especially towards her greatest rival. She bit her tongue. She wanted to talk but she couldn't bring herself to. Her turquoise eyes kept their gaze fixed on Gloria's chin-length brunette hair, and that green beret on her head that never seemed to fall off.
She hummed, deep in thought.
That was until Gloria looked at the staring girl, and then offered a smile.
"Oh hey, Marnie."
In response to that, Marnie just looked away, letting out a little 'hmph' in the process.
"Hm?" Gloria blinked a little, and then just looked away.
"I...I wasn't looking at you, but I was admiring your outfit today. You look...cute today."
Gloria's eyes just widened as a little, tiny pink blush dusted her cheeks.
"Huh?"
But then, Marnie just snapped, looking right at Gloria with a snarl now.
"You just look cute, okay? Take it as a compliment!"
Marnie then walked away, faster than usual, as Morpeko followed behind. The small dark-type Pokémon glanced back at Gloria and waved goodbye. Marnie didn't look back, however, and most likely due to embarrassment.
