I made it to Cherrygrove yesterday, and I think I'll be quite content to stay here for a while. Since you've all been very helpful so far, I hope you'll take the time to answer this question, as well - where does one find a good cup of coffee around here? I'd really appreciate some cherry pie as well, but I'm going to assume that cherries are unheard of in this place. I certainly hope coffee is something attainable, though. At the very least, something that is similar to it.

[OOC: Action for anyone in Cherrygrove! He's hanging around sort of without purpose outside the pokémon center at the moment, looking at the sky with a frown.]

Just as patiently as he had listened to her, she listens right back. It's something she's grown good at all these years, and she does rather like it. While she's pretty sure they're not exactly thinking of the same things, she does sympathize a lot with what he says.

She knows that everything will be taken care of in her absence, knows that her siblings can usually handle themselves well enough... But still.

The question has her duck her head, a failed attempt to hide her little smile. Or maybe it's not an attempt at all. "It's a people heavy position. I meet people and then, at the end of a really long day-" Greed's comments about the days blurring together into one long one comes to mind, making her smile widen. "-I show them out to where they think they need to go. Like the greeter at a hotel, I guess is the closest thing to it."

Ah. He makes a mental note of this, and gives her a sort of half-knowing smile.

"I suppose it isn't my place to ask for details, if you're providing me with metaphors." He doesn't mind, though. "I hope you don't find it intrusive of me to ask, but are you even from this world? A lot of people I've met seem to be of different universes - or different times."

This is something that he's found very interesting - how whatever brought them here seems to have a greater control of all these worlds, realities, universes - so whatever it or who it is, must be truly powerful or in possesion of something that is. Just what, he knows he probably can't even imagine, though it doesn't halt his curiosity regarding what it could be.

"I find it more fun when people figure out what I do for themselves." She winks teasingly. "So far it's been two, although I helped out a bit." If nothing else, Envy's reaction had been fun...

It's a smart observation, one that's no doubt been picked up by others but perhaps not paid as much attention to. "Someone seems to have made this something of a 'soft place'." Dee takes a long gulp of her drink before explaining. "There are places all across the universes where time and space shift. You can meet a child and, a few minutes later, meet that child as an adult. They have reaches in strange places. There's no telling when someone will stumble onto one. But this seems a bit more... manmade than natural."

With a sigh of a laugh, she shakes her head. "I'm so glad my brother warned me something weird was about to happen."

"You make it sound like I should know." He shakes his head, but considers this. "In a way, though, it wouldn't surprise me. As we've concluded before, all things are a bit different here, in lack of a stronger word."

Cooper listens carefully, with a frown of concentration marking his forehead just a little. Abstract thinking wasn't unfamiliar to him, of course, but you still needed a bit of focus discussing these things.

"You seem to know what you're talking about", he states, spinning the coffee cup in his hands slowly. "Is this what you think, or what you know?"

He ignores the comment about her brother, for now.

"I know." The answer comes without hesitation, a simple fact. Her smile is simple, now, to match it as she looks at Cooper. "I've been around for a very long time and have been to a lot of places.

"Of course," she adds, shrugging, "just because I can say what this is, or at least similar to, doesn't mean I know the how. I guess I'll figure that out while I'm here."

He shakes his head again, smiling. "You're a cruel person, Dee. I want to know how you know, and why, but I already have a feeling you won't tell me."

He finishes his coffee, almost regretfully so, but he'd rather do it while it was warm than wait for it to cool. It's just not the same. "I suppose I don't mind doing a bit of investigative work on my own, though. Perhaps I'll figure it out. It's part of my job, after all."

"Heh. One of my siblings told me that the way to get people interested is to show just a bit but not everything." Finishing off what remains of her own coffee, she sets it down and stands up.

"If I learn anything of my own, I'll tell you," she says, honest. "Two heads are better than one. Isn't that how the saying goes?"

"Well, you've certainly caught my attention."

Cooper stands as well, getting his coat from the back of the chair in the same motion. He finds his wallet, to which he's transferred the money he recieved upon his arrival, and puts a bill on the table as payment for the, in all actuality, very good coffee.

"That's the saying, yes. I always found it to be very true. I'll be sure to tell you anything I might find out as well. This is quite a grand mystery, don't you think?" He genuinely enjoys it, though, and it's easy to tell. "Who knows what might happen once we solve it."

"Isn't the answer obvious?" Smiling, she walks around the table. "There will be another mystery. A never ending cycle." She stands on the tips of her toes to kiss him on the forehead before she goes back to get her pack.

"Thanks for having coffee with me." She slings it over her shoulder before waving at him. "We'll have to do it again sometime."

"I'll think about that, then. Until next time."

He isn't sure at all how to react to that kiss, so he lets it slide without comment or any real reaction. It makes him feel slightly awkward, but considering how comfortable the rest of their meeting was, he decides it's not important.

"Absolutely. Thanks for the company." He returns the wave with a small smile, before putting on his coat. He leaves shortly after her but doesn't look back.
