Leanne was surprised she'd need to tell Rei when she got back that she was taken. Was she taken? Did she want to be courted by women in general or just Nue? Did she want that? Leanne was suddenly caught in a bit of tizzy that was only broken up by Leon "These are questions that probably need more thinking than a day and a half. Why don't we go check at the Steel Branch if you need to do any training for the days you were in Saffron," he suggested as Leanne nodded 'Yes, Thank you for reminding me and pulling me out of that,' she thought looking over to Brooke "I'm going to go to my branch real quick, I'll find Rei after and make sure she knows where the dining hall is," she said.

Well that was an odd mixed bag. At least she’s in the branch now. Rei goes to find the two that helped her, at the very least to thank them.

Now with a small growing posse behind her, Rei heads back to the guild to find Brooke and Leanne again. She’s got to flirt thank them for their help. And they seemed so far the only two receptive to her. The others are either silent, sleeping, or using Pokémon as leader stand-ins.

Brooke isn't hard to find; she's in the cafeteria, eating dinner with a Furret draped around her neck (occasionally moving to beg for scraps). She offers Rei a nod by way of greeting when she enters.

Rei had to FIND said cafeteria first during her hunt but eventually makes it. She sits down next to Brooke. Her new Pokémon in tow.
”Well hello again, new friend! What a lovely accent piece you have there!”
Rei motions toward the furret ‘scarf’.

Brooke chuckles, apparently more willing to accept compliments for her Pokemon than herself. "Yeah, she's a cutie. Say hello, Scarf, you got an admirer." Scarf scurries over to investigate the newcomer, in case she has food and/or scritches on offer.
"Looks like you got a couple of new friends yourself?"

Rei does indeed offer scratches.
”So it’s actually called Scarf. That’s adorable. As a fashion creator myself, I admire the art of it.”
She turns toward her new pokes.
”But yes! I have new Pokémon! Or more accurately I have my long lost gothic soul twin here in Cereza, and am employing the services of Ditto the magnificent! You two, say hi to my new friend Brooke!”
Rei allows the two to introduce themselves to her. Ditto transforms into Cereza and they both give a bow in greeting.
”Mostly I wanted to come find you and inform you and Leanne that I did indeed join the poison branch, and to offer my services as thanks! You see I am an expert at making clothing and I love doing it. I can make you anything you’d like, in any style you’d like. Maybe a nice outfit worthy of such a rugged lady such as yourself. This extends to Pokémon too.”

Leanne walked into the cafeteria grabbing herself some food, as she went over taking a seat with Rei and Brooke "Hello, Everything was fine with the Steel Branch, looks like the whole guild is a laissez-faire about where their members are," she said as she noticed the two Cerezas "Oh how cute, I've never seen a person with two of the same species on their team, especially not cuties like these. Not to say Scarf here isn't cute too," she said offering the Furret a pet, not going straight for a pet since Leon reminded her Scarf might not know who she is.

"What is it with people wanting to dress me up today?" Brooke complains. "Not that I don't appreciate the offer," she adds, belatedly realizing how rude that sounds, "but I'm happy with what I got now. Maybe you could try making a little scarf for Scarf? Don't know if she'd wear it, but at least she won't kill us for tryin' like Sharp would."
She nods a greeting to Leanne; Scarf sniffs the offered hand, then solicits petting. "They're not the same, actually. The one on the left is a little pink thing that made itself look like the other. Never seen anything quite like it." She peers at the faux-Gothita. "How'd you manage that, anyhow?"

"They have that same attitude about the leaders as well."
Before the others have a chance to ask what she means by that, she continues.
"And hello again to you Leanne, I was just telling Brooke about how I wanted to thank you both for your help earlier and I offer my services as thanks! I make clothing for people and pokemon and am happy to craft something for you! And yes I'll accept the challenge to make a scarf for Scarf. And I wouldn't be 'dressing you up'. I'd be fitting you with something deserving."
Rei waggles her eyebrows.
"A body like yours doesn't need to be dressed up. It needs to be 'equipped'. And equipped WELL."
Rei just giggles when her ditto is mistaken for a second Cereza. Oh this'll be fun having The Magnificent around.
Cereza decides to explain by invading Leanne's mind.
Oh this one isn't me. There's only one of those. But it is nice to know we have a very flattering mirror nearby.
Cereza turns to 'Mag' and privately asks it something, and the Ditto loves the idea and does it. Mag transforms into a VERY tiny version of Scarf and wraps around Cereza's neck. Now with a new accessory, she pats it before looking to Brooke and speaks to her mind.
An excellent choice in accessories. I approve.
Rei has the best look on her face while this is happening.
"Eeeeeeeee tiny scarf! Hehehehe!"

"Looks like you've got another tiny scarf to make, if you wanna keep the two matching," Brooke comments.

”Ha, you might be right.”
Rei settles in.
”So what are you two up to?”

Brooke shrugs. "Don't have much by way of plans. We just got back in town, so I reckon when we're finished eating I'll go look at the mission board, see if there's anything interesting. Maybe find someone for a quick battle before bed." She glances at Rei's Pokemon for a moment, then looks back with a raised eyebrow. "Feel like giving yours a bit of exercise?"

"Would you perhaps like help on the mission? Either of you? Looks like finding poison types is the only non-mundane things I can do right now."
Rei pipes up when Brooke mentions fighting.
"Umm, well yeah sure! I'm not much of an actual battler though. It would be nice to see what they are all capable of though."

"Sure, another pair of hands never hurts. Last mission we took ended up being pretty dangerous, and we had four people then." Brooke grimaces at the memory.
"Three-Pokemon match, then? Wouldn't want the numbers to be uneven. Could do two if you just wanna put the new ones through their paces, I've got one I just picked up today too."

"We can do three. It's been ages since Sol has had a proper battle!"
Rei claps her hands.
"Oh this'll be fun! I almost want to put something on the line if I wasn't so sure I was gonna lose..."

Brooke shrugs. "I don't have much I'd care to wager, myself. We can call this one a warm-up match?"

"They've got plenty of places to battle 'round here. You feel like indoors or outdoors?"

”I guess with outdoors we are less likely to break something, so let’s do that!”
Rei gathers up her pokes.
”Come on guys it’s time to fight!”
