[The more they talk, the more he can feel himself calming down. She's not going anywhere- not yet anyway, and he can only pray not for a long while. It finally occurs to him to move. The sooner they find each other again, see each other in the flesh, the better. So he gets up, 'Gear still held in his hand as he starts to make his way out. Angel watches out for him. She always does. Now, right at his heels, she keeps the doors open for him and listens carefully to the conversation.]

It's a lil' town near a mountain and a forest called Azalea. New Bark is where yer at, and they ain't too far from each other.

[That's a lie, actually. They're quite a damn ways from each other. It's a week long travel from Cherrygrove to Violet alone, and those two towns are between him and Beast right now. That's fine, right now, not like when he had to go fetch Doll. He's already making plans as he heads to the Pokecenter. Ariel prefers to go her own pace when he's flying her and normally that's fine... But right now he needs someone who will fly fast like the bleedin' devil is on their tail.]

[Like with so many lies he's told, Joker does his best not to make it apparent it is one. He keeps working at his smile, keeps making it fake genuine, and has his tone stay steady and reassuring.]

[...Even if he's aware that if there's anyone who'd see past it, it'd be Beast.]

All the towns 'round here are named after flowers, seems like. Cherrygrove, Violet, Goldenrod, Mahogany, all things like that.

[Something mundane to hopefully help the whole situation seem so... bizarre.]
