"I... um..." Keiko stuttered, glancing downward. She didn't really have anything planned. In fact, she almost never made plans. She generally did what needed doing from day to day. Al seemed kind of eager to hear about what she had in mind to do today, so she didn't want to disappoint him by saying nothing, but she wasn't very good at thinking on her feet, either.
Eventually, she bit the bullet and shook her head. "Well, I don't usually make plans. I've kinda gotten used to just doing what needs to be done from day to day. And things seem quiet enough around here..."
Keiko looked down again, and pulled out the burned-up piece of paper with most of her name on it. She still had some leads on finding out the meaning behind this slip of paper, but she'd have to leave HQ to pursue them, and she wasn't sure if Al would be alright by himself, given his fear of people.

Keiko's face turned a shade of magneta at Al's comments. Feeling flattered and... a bit embarrassed, was a nice change for feeling sorry for herself, but she didn't think Al was trying to hint at THAT. Not until the other shoe fell. "W-w-well... i-i-it's... u-um..." she stammered, as though imitating Al's speaking problem, though that wasn't her intent. "I... I've kinda... u-um... I've been in some... I mean... my last two... um... well..."
Keiko ended up planting her face in her hands and breathing deeply. If she didn't calm down, nobody would be able to make sense of what she was trying to say.
"I've been in some bad relationships before. My last two boyfriends... well, the first one was just plain evil. I don't think he would have killed me, but I don't know how I got out of that relationship alive. The second one wasn't so bad, but we had kind of a falling out. He was really stubborn and..."
Keiko sighed, leaning back on the couch. She was feeling a bit better after letting all of this off of her chest. "I took a bit of a break from my love life after the second boyfriend, and haven't really thought about it after joining Sn... this group. That, and I'm kinda sure the guys around here are... into other guys. I know two of them that are like that. I didn't even know that was possible until I started living here, but there you have it."
"Well, except for Reno, here. I just remembered he has a girlfriend already," Keiko added.

Ms Edyn "Wasn't really talking about that," Eve said, smiling, "Just meant, the country itself. I'm sure there are things there, maybe pokemon or the way people dress and act or whatever that's different than around here. I know it's very different here than it is back home in Hyda. Just the amount of humans alone, not to mention all the weird technology." "I can see it, yes," said Ship. He sat down on the ground, eyes closed. "I think I would much rather join you on a trip to your home than take you on a trip to mine, even ignoring my history. It's very...dark there. Ours is a humor that is very depressing. But for now..." He cast a glance back to the headquarters. "These regions should be new enough for both of us for much time?"
Tails shook his head. "I don't know. I had this idea of bouncing off you, trying to get a lick in and try to find some momentum. But I forgot that with you, I actually need some kind of plan. I can't fake you out like I can a Pokemon."

Tesei Utakata "Yep, this is where I live, Al. Now, are ya tryin' ta get a date with miss Keiko? And are ya also insinuatin' that i 'ave not tried ta court 'er? I did, btut hen life sorta 'appened and my other choice came and amde the decision fer me." Reno told Al, remaining in his laid out position on the couch. "Yeah, most of the nice ones are already taken," Keiko said with a light smile, although her face was still a deep shade of magneta from blushing so hard. "in fact, I'm kinda surprised you don't have a lady friend, Al. Even with your fear of people, you're still one of the nice ones."

"That's one r-r-reason I l-l-like Dragon-t-t-type Pokemon. They m-m-mate for l-l-life." He noted with a small smile.
Back to Keiko, he sighed. "Most women c-c-can't get p-p-past my stut-t-tter." He admitted a bit sheepishly. "It's not like I haven't tried before." He added, not noticing that his stutter had faded for a moment.
