[His hand still hurts from the echo of the memory, and Blue hisses softly and shakes it out in the clammy steam of the bath as he enters, rolling and popping his shoulder. That memory had felt so natural when it first occurred to him that he.... actually had to stop and think about it for a few moments before he could really recognize it not as his own, by the unfamiliar boy that had been his opponent. But even the unfamiliarity hadn't quite been there- Leon, his memory had told him, dredging up complicated and familiar feelings of frustration, adoration, and loneliness. My rival.]

[No. Not his rival. But where was the difference?]

Ah, make sure to leave your towel, [Blue points out, unshyly dropping his from his waist and draping it on the edge of the bathtub before sinking in, letting out a heavy, relaxed sigh. Man, the water was really hot in this bath, but he needed it after mostly bathing in the river and waterfall in Mt. Silver, until the apartments appeared. Duraludon couldn't really enjoy the bath and Eevee had been forbidden already (no fur in the bath!!), and had gone off to do their own exploring and mingling with the local Smeargle in the rest of Wall Market.]

[He gestures for Raihan to sit- maybe the bath might be... a little hard for him to fold himself into....? But he could certainly sit on the edge, at least. Blue wouldn't mind the view.....]

Though I doubt anyone but us is gonna come while we're here, there's not that many of us.

...Hey, how're you holding up, anyhow?
