[Tristan Carter]

Tristan took a look around the cafeteria. He had just received some food and now just needed somewhere to sit. There weren't any shortage of seats. Some tables only had a few people sitting at them, and there were plenty of tables that were completely empty. That was the problem though. There were too many choices for him, and he couldn't decide. I could sit by some people, he thought as he looked over the available seats, but what if I say something wrong? I could screw everything up just by sitting down with the wrong people. I could easily sit by myself, but I'll never make friends if I isolate myself. He continued to debate internally for a moment before begrudgingly going and having a seat.

Tristan took a look around his empty table and sighed softly.

Ah, it was another day at the slightly occupied cafeteria. He wondered why it was so spacious despite their students not being very large in number. Perhaps Gray Haven Academy has been experiencing a shortage of human population? Nevertheless, he had been eating in the cafeteria often ever since he got here since the food was good, and it wasn't as expensive as the restaurants outside. There was always the problem of sitting in awkward silence though, as the semester was just starting and hardly anyone has made friends with each other.

Or maybe he just came at the wrong time? It was lunch hour though, so shouldn't there be a bunch of students 'round here? Eh, well, perhaps he would just have to keep coming back to observe before forming a conclusion. Before heading to the tables he got himself a nice plate of pasta with a piece of cream dory, and this time it wasn't Gogo that was accompanying him but one of his newly caught Pokemon, Fastrada. The others were eating their own lunch back in the dorm room since they didn't serve Pokemon food here, and the Chingling was the only one that wasn't in the mood to eat. Since this was her first time here, she was quietly observing her surroundings, quite confused as to why the place wasn't as noisy as she expected despite the number of humans in the vicinity.

Luu on the other hand was thinking of a place to sit. Well, he could try sitting with someone else today and make friends, but it had to be someone who was alone so that it wouldn't be too weird. Mission getting a new friend sounded easier said than done, but what the heck, there was no point in being too scared about it.

And so after finding a table with a lone guy there, he approached it casually and asked, "Mind if I take a seat?" Fastrada had also made a small cry, watching the stranger carefully.

Tristan ate away in solitude, lamenting his inability to take a social risk, when, lo, a savior appeared. He didn't show it while turning to face the voice, but Tristan was ecstatic. He didn't have to worry about making the first move to meet someone anymore. As far as he was concerned, nothing could have been luckier for him (unless the voice had come from a cute girl, of course). Still, while the voice wasn't feminine, the boy that it belonged to certainly looked friendly enough.

With a small smirk, Tristan waved his arm across the table. "Take them all," he said slyly, watching the other boy for his reaction. "Doesn't look like anyone else wants 'em." He punctuated with a joking eye roll and a flourish of the hand before carefully appraising the boy. Satisfied when nothing seemed to be wrong, Tristan extended his hand. "I'm Tristan," he said with a smile, "and don't mind me. I like to think that I'm funnier than I really am."

Heh, well would you look at that? He managed to randomly pick someone with a bit of flair, which Luu was certainly all abroad in playing along, "Don't mind if I do," he had said nonchalantly while placing the tray down on the table across the stranger. He had sat down after that, though his Chingling still remained on his shoulder, "Not really a surprise, as far as I know not a lot of people here are keen on being extroverted." he commented without much thought.

He had showed a smirk of his own as he mirrored his actions. It seemed that this guy was observing him for anything that he didn't like, and judging from his expression Luu had passed the preliminary inspection. He took Tristan's hand and shook it once, "I'm Louis, but feel free to call me Luu." he then sank back onto the bench before gesturing to his Pokemon, "And this is Fastrada. I met her in the Forgotten Graves -" he then shuddered visibly but still had a playful expression on his face, "Don't really want to go back there again, but then again a trainer's gotta do what a trainer's gotta do. How much of the island have you explored, by the way? I actually haven't been here long so there's still a lot of places I haven't checked. Mostly I just hang around by my dorm, hehe."

{ooc: honestly he could've said more but I'll stop here - he just really likes talking.}
