A Friendly Visit [Eira]

Eira was incredibly excited to be seeing her old friend again as she comfortably flew on the back of Cloud to her destination, her pregnancy making it a little difficult for her to walk very long without her feet getting tired. She assumed that getting tired quickly was just the price she had to pay for growing a child within her, but it worried her that she was getting tired so quickly when she was still so early in her pregnancy. She decided that now was not the time to be worrying about such matters since she would be seeing Z and his new home shortly. As it was, she could see the area Z had told her about in the distance and she could feel the excitement bubble up inside her at the sight of all of the progress her young friend was making in his homeland. It wouldn't surprise her if he was chosen by his people to be king of this area when he was a little older and she couldn't help but to smile at the thought.

Eira had Cloud return to his ball for now since she was unsure of how Z felt about having such a massive Pokemon in his new home. As she waited for Z to come greet her, Eira looked around with a smile at how nicely built the villa was. She couldn't believe that he was leading this area to be such an advanced country, she and Akane would have to make sure to keep an eye out on this budding country. She made a note to talk to her advisors about setting up a bigger trade agreement between Z's people and hers, though she wasn't sure exactly what else they had to offer that Eirlys would want other than their abundance of ore.

Shaking her head to clear it of thoughts of business, Eira decided then and there that she was just going to relax and enjoy her time with her long time friend.

"It is good to be here again," Eira said cheerfully as she shed the heavy coat that had been keeping her warm while she flew on Cloud high in the air, revealing the light dress that she was wearing to keep her comfortable this far south. The dress was synched up in a way that actually emphasized the small belly that was forming since she was now a couple of months pregnant, though her stomach was growing much faster than her doctor thought was it was supposed to.

She tossed the pokeballs that she was carrying to reveal her very diverse team, including Grace since Eira had been sure to bring Grace along."You are doing really well here, Z. I am very happy for you."

"I'm glad to be giving you chance for a break," Eira said, amused by the way Kit and Ruby interacted, reminding her of how her own Bullet and Shimmer interacted quite often. She nodded to her own team to allow them to break off and head towards wherever they were choosing to spend their time, Grace heading off in a waddle to find Scorpio while the others went to go explore and Walrein stuck closely to Eira's side. Eira followed Z into his home, marvelling a bit at how unique his home was compared to the ones she saw in Eirlys and Celosia. "If I could bother you for some milk tea, that would be perfect."

"I know this might be a bit strange, but bluk berry if you have it, with a bit of ice?" Eira requested sheepishly, understanding quite well that bluk berry anything was not normally something that people consumed if they had a choice, but she had found that she quite enjoyed the taste after accidentally eating one a week ago. As he went to get the tea, Eira wandered to look at the paintings around the room and paused at the one of Eirlys with a soft smile at how well the artist managed to capture the beauty of her homeland.

Grace wandered around the villa curiously, peeking into different rooms as she came upon them without a care except finding her brother figure. She had no idea that Bullet was secretly following her to keep an eye on the large pink Pokemon.

Eira sat down on one of the plush chairs, enjoying the soft support on her body as she waited for Z to come back so they could catch up with one another. She liked this room and was curious if she could turn one of the new rooms in her home into a soft room like this for her to relax and eventually her child as well. Walrein slid over to her and rested by her feet so he could guard her in case something happened, though he did not suspect something happening while they were visiting this place.

*Scorp!* Grace giggled, her childish mind coming forth at the sight of the purple Pokemon that she could relax and just be herself around. She came further into the room and frowned at all of the dolls that the older Pokemon had in his room, wondering why he had so many cute things here.

"I am glad that your business is doing so well," Eira said with a smile before she took a sip of her tea, enjoying the flavor of it and hoping that it was not strong enough to stain her mouth like so many other uses of bluk berry did. "I'll be sure to talk to some of my trade advisors about getting us more of a trade route going between our two countries when I return. I am excited to see how far you are going to be able to take this land, though I don't know if the same can be said for Akane. You are advancing so quickly that I'm sure she must be worried about you taking over, even when you've given her no reason to be worried about you."

*You like cute things...?* Grace said in confusion, looking around the room before settling her eyes on him. *I did not think you liked these things.*
