[With only a slight frown from Blue as Lance sits beside him- he inches a little to the other end of the bench to give his stupid cape more room- he tries to school his face as much as possible in response to Lance's reply about talking to gramps.]
[He's sure glad he wasn't there- he knows how stubborn gramps could be, and Lance was a pushy nag.... It probably would have been super uncomfortable. And besides, he didn't want to hear about the subject- not the actual one, but the elephant in the room.]
[...Blue talked to her every so often, still, and she never was anything but kind to him- but he could never quite look Red's mom in the eye, anymore.]
Good. I have my stuff, so we won't have to stop back there when we leave.
[Luckily, there wasn't too much time left in the day's training schedule- by the time Lance arrived it was late afternoon, and there's a little under an hour more of Blue sitting, then getting up (probably to avoid some annoying conversation with Lance) and weaving between the practice pairs, commenting and calling corrections.]
[With the exercise finished, everyone recalls their Pokémon, and split up to finish the chores around the Gym before heading out for the day; Pokémon to care for, various clerical things to be arranged before Blue's absence, and most importantly, so that any challengers would be aware the Gym would be closed for challengers in that time...]
[At last Blue grabs his trainer pack and hauls it over his shoulder, sighing up at Lance.] ...Alright, you got what you want. Where're we headed?
