Fourth Flake [video/action for Goldenrod]

[defyingfrigidity]

[For once, when the 'gear flickers on, it doesn't show a hopelessly confused or concerned Elsa. This is good!! Very good.

Instead, there's a great look of excitement on the former queen's face. On her shoulder, a Kirlia clings to her shirt, eyes wide in the slats between its little helmet, mirroring its trainer's expression perfectly. Behind them, the massive buildings and skyscrapers of Goldenrod City can be seen, windows glinting in the afternoon sun.]

This is amazing! Don't you think so, Frigga?

[For someone who normally tries to stay as reserved as she possibly can while communicating over these devices, the sound of such unbridled wonder in her voice may be a bit of a change to hear.]

I didn't know buildings could get this tall... I've read about great castles and palaces in books and such, but I've never heard of anything as tall as this. [She smiles, turning to Frigga.] It sure is something, isn't it?

[Frigga smiles and nods, making a happy noise. Elsa then turns back to the gear.]

Are a lot of cities in this land this... big? Violet and Azalea were both decent enough, but they're nowhere near as extravagant as this city!

[There's a pause, then Elsa looks somewhat sheepish as she realizes just how excited she was just acting. O-Oh dear, and so many people saw...]

I'm sorry if I sound rather.... eager. But things like this... buildings and architecture and such... I've always had a fascination with them. And structures like this never got this big in Arendelle...

Are there more cities like this? Ones with interesting or unique architecture? [Boy, she sure does seem pretty darn eager...] Even if they're not anything like this... I'd like to know what cities to look forward to visiting!

[Oh Elsa, your inner nerd is shining through so beautifully...]

Compared to Tokyo? Goldenrod's a tiny town! I wouldn't even go to a place like Goldenrod back home, it's just too boring for me.

[Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, love will find a way, love is an open door but well we know how well that turned out for leon whooops.]

[defyingfrigidity]

... Wow. I can't even imagine what this "Tokyo" must be like, then. This city is fairly large, even for most kingdom capitols I've read about...!

[Sorry, Leon. Not even Elsa knows it right now, but you are barking up the wrong tree, if you catch my drift...]

If it's not too much trouble, could you tell me more about it?

[struck_out]

Sure I could! Like I said, I'm actually in Goldenrod myself. How about we meet up somewhere? We can grab a coffee and sit down some place nice, rather than just talk over the Gear.

[hahahaha whoops! Until he finds out, he's just gonna keep on trying. oh leon.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[1800's romance stuff means that Elsa has no idea Leon's trying to ask her out on a date. Poor Leon.]

Well, we might not be able to do something like that for a while. My sister and I still need to get settled in for our stay, and all. I'm not even sure exactly where we'll be staying, yet.

[They'd been able to afford a room at the inn in Azalea, since they'd only stayed in town long enough for Anna to win her second gym badge. But Elsa has a feeling they're going to be staying much longer here, so that could burn through their money pretty quickly...]

[struck_out]

[He's hella persistent in this regard, unfortunately.]

You've got your sister with you?

[Two for the price of one!]

Yeah well, if you both need help for anything, give me a call! Settling in a new city can be a little tough, especially if you're not used to living in one. Oh, and the name's Leon Kuwata by the way!

[defyingfrigidity]

[don't even think about it leon]

I'll keep that in mind! Ah, and my name is Elsa. A pleasure to meet you, Leon.
