Eridani City was so much different than the small farming town she'd come from. The buildings were much, much taller, of course, and the air was so humid she'd felt like sweating in the cool shade of the awning above her head. The people, especially, dressed in such a variety and spoke so fluently in many dialects that she had trouble understanding, and she almost had difficulty picking individuals out from the visual noise that was the crowd! It was a wonder how they managed it all while moving!
Molly loved it all.
From her seat on the patio of a local restaurant, the young woman watched the passing, ever-shifting crowd with wide-eyed curiosity. In her slim jeans and green t-shirt, she looked downright boring in comparison to a few of the many styles she saw. Why, even some of the pokemon she could spot in the streets were dressed up!
"Well, Pixie? What do ya think?" She asked with a downwards glance at the Vulpix underneath her chair. The small pokemon looked up from her nearly-stripped ham bone only long enough to give a brief, appreciative bark to her mistress. With a content smile, Molly sipped from the glass of iced tea on the table and returned to her people watching. Things were going so well already, she thought absentmindedly as her gaze was drawn by a passerby with a particularly nice... pair of pants.
For a few seconds, her glass raised higher and higher, until a not-insignificant amount of very cold tea spilled out and onto her shirt. Molly quickly returned the half-emptied glass to the table, hissing underneath her breath as she hurriedly tried to pat her shirt dry with her hands. "Crap! Crap! Crap!"
It wasn't going to work, unfortunately.

Training. Should he really be using what little free time he could conjure these days to work a minimum wage shift at some random restaurant...? I mean, yeah, it was pretty fun, why not. Plus, he felt he had been losing touch with his father's side of the family business ever since he had fully taken to his duties. He didn't want to completely abandon what he had learned from the man just to live up to the expectation's of his other family members. Even if he wasn't the man behind the oven, customer service and waiter duty were still vital parts of any restaurant, and it had been a while since he had performed as either. The boy smiled pleasantly at a young missie as he set the lemonade in front of her, writing down and delivering her companion's order to the counter before turning his gaze to the tables at the restaurant's terrace. His shift companion had all but disappeared in the time it had take him to attend to the people inside the restaurant; a problem, because it left the young lady struggling to dry her tea covered shirt with no help. "Ah shit." He muttered under his breath, approaching her table quickly. "Ma'am?" He spoke up, reaching into his belt for a single pokeball. "I'll go fetch a dry towel. If you would like, uh... I could leave a pokemon to help you dry up that shirt while you wait."
It would be a little awkward (maybe), but just hugging Larvesta should have been enough to warm up that shirt, if not dry it up entirely.
"She's a cutie, if that helps any." He promised, scratching the back of his head.

She could feel the cold liquid spreading further. It crawled over her skin, hiding in the fabric of her top as it made its way into every nook and cranny. Her body heat warmed it a little more every second, though all that seemed to do was make the stickiness all the more apparent.
Molly had to hold herself back and bite her tongue to keep from shouting in frustration. How could she have been so clumsy? Her first day in the city, and she was already making an ass of herself! She continued to berate herself with her thoughts as footsteps approached, and the voice of a young boy drew her attention away from her cold plight.
"I, uhm," she needed a moment to collect her thoughts. Already, Pixie was crawling out from underneath her spot to determine what the problem was, and barked for her mistress' attention. However, she didn't wait for an invitation, and quickly hopped up into Molly's lap to begin fervently licking the spilled, sweet liquid from the green fabric. "Ah! Pixie! Down girl!
"No," Molly finally responded to the concerned boy. With a little difficulty, she calmed the Vulpix in her lap and pushed her down into her lap, where the animal resigned itself to its fate with a short huff. "Uhm, thanks, though. I-I think she's already volunteered." She giggled nervously, as a noticeable pink color filled her cheeks. Picking the pokemon up into her arms, she stood and did her best to cover the spill with the warm Pixie.
"Wh-Where's your restroom? It should come right out with a little water."

Freedom. The boy tried to keep himself stoic as the girl's Vulpix all but jumped at the call, leaping onto her mistress' lap to lick away at the juice. It was important to not alienate a customer in anyway... no matter how funny their misery might be. Sadly, stoicism wasn't really his thing, so he was kind of failing, pretty badly at that, his shoulders trembling slightly and a couple of small, cut short snorts escaping out of his nostrils. "Y- Yes, I can see that." He had almost bitten his tongue when he stumbled upon his words. "Quite spirited, ain't she?" He said with an amused grin, before quickly catching himself and wiping it off his face. Bringing his fist up to his mouth he cleared his throat. "You'll find the restroom by the counter, at the end of the lone hallway to the left. There should be three doors at the end; left one is the restroom for women." He informed her, bowing. "You can request a dry towel at the counter while you pass by, if you desire one." He informed her as he pocketed his pokeballs, seeing they wouldn't be needed. "Would you like me to fetch you another iced tea, ma'am?" He asked her before she left for the rest room, bowing. "On the house, naturally." He hadn't quite seen how the girl had gotten drenched, but it was always safe to assume it was somehow the restaurant's fault, just to avoid any complaints or unsatisfied customers.

"Thank ya." Molly spoke a little too quickly as Pixie continued to try to lick her mistress clean, but could only reach the underside of the woman's chin. No matter how hard the woman tried, she couldn't get the pup under control in any sense of the word. So, she hurried past the boy after he explained how to get to the restroom, and did her best to ignore his snickering and snorting at her misfortune.
However, he kept talking while she was trying to leave.
"Uhh, yes, please." It'd taken her a moment to realize what he'd asked, between the struggling Pixie and her sticky top. Without any further distractions, she made her way back inside the restaurant, and picked up a dry, rough towel from the counter before hiding herself away in the restroom.
Setting the pup on the floor, Molly frowned at herself in the mirror. The spilled drink had stopped spreading, but there was now a very large, dark spot on the front of her shirt, and it clung uncomfortably to her skin. With a frustrated sigh, she set the dry towel on the side of the sink and removed her top, then ran the cloth underneath the tap. It'd be fine, she told herself repeatedly. It would come out...
Minutes later, the young woman emerged from the restroom again in as presentable a condition as she could manage. Her shirt was clean and dry, thanks in large part to the pup following after her heels, though the towel was wet and a little sticky. She couldn't help but to think about the bits she'd missed, nor the fact that she'd have to return to the hotel for a shower and a change of clothes. However, those were things that could wait ten... maybe fifteen more minutes.
So, Molly returned to her table on the patio outside, and used the wetted cloth to clean up any droplets she'd spilled earlier. There wasn't much, thankfully, and Pixie had seen fit to return to her ham bone while the woman cleaned.

Freedom. "As you wish, ma'am." He said, bowing slightly as he stepped out of her way, breathing a sigh of relief. She didn't call him out on his poor poker face, thankfully. That would have gotten his in deep trouble with the manager. He really was out of practice; that had been so sloppy! He quickly produced a piece of cloth to clean up the mess left in the tea's wake, working through the table as quickly as he could manage before moving back to the counter. He put up the order for a second iced tea soon after, before going back to attending the rest of the restaurants patrons for a little while. That little event proved to be the only memorable thing to happen for that entire shift. When the girl came back from her trip to the rest room, the boy was there immediately, setting down her new drink across from her with a smile. "Your iced tea, ma'am." He said amicably. He straightened himself after, glancing around with a hum. Didn't seem like his services were needed elsewhere just yet. He turned his gaze back to the woman, cocking his head slightly as he looked at her up and down. It was hard to tell if she was just a modest girl or if she came from elsewhere; she wasn't using any of the local fashion trends, particularly rare for local, beautiful young women. Well, he didn't have much to do and it was always a good thing to try and engage customers if they weren't having a bad day. Or were anti-social. "Say Ma'am," He began. "Is this your first time in Eridani?" He asked, before turning his gaze towards her small pokemon. "Here for the gym challenge, perhaps?"
