" Oh woe is me! I'm once again a damsel in distress... Who will step up to the plate and save me? "

She bites her tongue before comment about what might as well be considered roleplay, at this point. Everyone, from Lebanne to the handful of trainers who tried to challenge her, should know that she's the last one, here, who could claim to be in danger.

But... who is she to say anything? Mademoiselle Jacinthe needs her assistance, clearly, so she might as well take a step forward, give a little bow as she puts herself between her, erm. Damsel. And her terrible, awful enemies.

And reach for a Pokèball.

"Dragalge, if you'll please.

There are other ominous pink women?

" alors. you never mentioned this before. "

It's weird. Talking about her past with Jacinthe, pretending she's not dying to infodump about all the time she broke someone's bones for no reason other than the fact that she was bored, giving an headache to the elders at the Dragon's Den. All it took was a little push from the other woman, a question about who were the Johtonian tourists she gave a quick wave at while she was trying to balance all the boxes of shoes and bags Jacinthe bought, and Lebanne suddenly found herself commenting about her life before going to Kalos.

It's a little embarrassing, actually.

"There wasn't really any... need to mention it.

The past's in the past."

Just saying that made her feel an acid reflux.

Hidden Injuries

Iris spares a brief glance to her arms - pockmarked with little gashes and nicks from... honestly, it isn't clear from her arms alone, but the patch of brighter red on her otherwise dark red dress over her shoulder speaks to something concealed.

"Oh, don't worry yourself. I've had worse. Speaking of, do you have a bathroom I could use? I look a mess."

She, uh, she got into a fight with a ominously large Talonflame. And won, but that's besides the point. She's got a full change of clothes in her bag for exactly this situation.
