Captain Briney's Abode - Hoenn Region - @Wriggle
Well, that put a damper on the atmosphere, Sherry thought. Way to go, Ms. Birkin. It wasn't her intention to bring up uncomfortable silence, but even she couldn't find the words to say in a retort. All she could do was feel sorry for Captain Briney, even if he didn't want her sympathy. Was that resignation in his voice, or was it bitter defeat? Regardless of which, Sherry lost her curiosity to find out which.
With a muffled grumble, the woman got up from her seat and took care of her plate. She couldn't hold Briney's behavior against himself. Lord knew he had a right to act in whatever manner he desired, and it wasn't Sherry's business to pry anymore. She grabbed her pokeballs and reclaimed her pokemon before heading outside to look for Yuuka.
"Yuuka?" Sherry called, looking around near the house. "Hey! Yuuka! Where'd you go? Captain Briney's almost ready!"
