Elesa was somewhere around Pollux when the grey faced thing had approached her. 'Interact with a child. Befriend them!' the thing had said. Elesa thought it was strange, but didn't object. She was already fine with knowing Nanako and Lily, adding another child to the mix couldn't hurt. The Gym Leader wasn't overly fond of children, but her sense of justice led her to watch out for them. It really wasn't fair that Sophia brought parentless children here.
So, taking the Anonymous' suggestion at heart, Elesa was beginning to head out of Pollux when she saw a...child? The blonde was a bit confused as to why a child would be all the way out here, but that didn't stop her from closing the gap between them. Elesa stopped, when there was still quite a bit of space between them, and trying to seem completely normal, she spoke:
"Hello, I was...uhm...hoping to find someone like you!"
Ok, no, that didn't sound normal at all. Instead, it sounded rather creepy!
"What I mean to say is, I was hoping to find someone to help me fulfill this dare, and if you'd stop to chat, well, I'd be fulfilling that dare!"
Well, she still didn't sound normal at all, but at least she didn't come off as a creep, right?
