[The mirrors on the vine activate to show a young woman in the generic white dress, standing in the patch of flowers she apparently arrived in. She looks more irritated to be here than surprised or confused. She tilts it this way and that, then nods in a satisfied manner.]

I thought so.

[She looks down, skimming over the scroll again before handing it offscreen. Something with a yellow paw takes it. She looks back at the mirror, brushing a flower out of her hair, then crosses her arms.]

I am not speaking to an animal of any kind about this. I am Sabrina, Saffron City's Gym Leader.

[She speaks as if that's supposed to mean something to people. It should, at least.]

I'm not in the habit of accepting protection from strangers. Nor am I in the habit of accepting orders to help strangers build things, or become 'one of them'. What I want is an explanation of just what you think you're trying to accomplish. If you don't think you want to explain, then I'll just have to tear this place apart until you decide to face me.

[A number of small, blue and white balls float around her. Each one has a pair of red stripes, and small monsters can be seen moving inside each one.]

I trust that I'm understood.

I see.

Well, I can't say much if you're satisfied with the trade-off. As long as people assist you in remembering, you're fine?

I was alone, before I came here.

[She knows that, that fact made her life here with her sister all the more important. She did not remember much of her own world, Mahalia had never been to the South and could not remind her, but Fela remembered that she had been alone.]

But it... helps to be reminded, here. There are friends I would like to remember to greet when I see them walking in the garden.

Ah.

[And she falls silent. It's a little awkward, she isn't much for meeting new people that aren't there to try to claim her badge.]

[c_zacatechichi]

I will do my best to remember you.

[spoonoffate.livejournal.com]

I think I will have little trouble remembering you.

[c_zacatechichi]

[She offers an uncertain smile.]

I hope that isn't any trouble.

I don't usually have trouble remembering things.
