Huh... [ a beat of his own. ] No kidding.

[ that's... really interesting, actually. he wants to ask a little more, but it feels like a lot to get into for a conversation between people who don't know each other's names yet. which means, of course, that Raihan will have to rectify that! with an interested smirk, he crosses his arms in interest. ]

I don't think I caught your name, by the way!

[abeautifulgame]

No kidding.

[he can read that interest on Raihan's face, and while again, talking about sports really isn't his thing, he does love hearing himself talk -- and exchanging information, and he's sure he'll have questions for him, too, as they go. he's about to call him out on that, then, so they can get to the good stuff, and then Raihan mentions the whole name thing]

[he barks out a laugh at that. how long did he and Seto go before they actually got around to exchanging names? how many conversations did they have?]

Damien Brenks. [a beat] And you are?

[rotomphone]

[ hey, that's definitely something they have in common! human sports are totally lame, but he'd gladly chat about competitive Pokémon battling if Damien is interested - either that, or their mutual disdain for American-Unovan football. either way, he's definitely filing that away in the "weird crossovers between worlds" folder of his brain. he's hearing of more and more of them lately... ]

Raihan! And my partner, Duraludon. [ he points a thumb over to the steel creature, who simply stares at Damien. life is hard when you don't have cheeks to smile with... he's trying to be friendly, honest! ] Nice to meet you.

[ he's maybe a little younger than Kabu, from the looks of it... he may not be as outwardly feisty as his Fire-type specialist colleague, but he's clearly opinionated! that could be the makings of a fun guy. ]

Have you met any of us Pokémon Trainers yet? [ if he hasn't, allow him to be a stellar first impression. ] Most people I introduce myself to around here just end up staring Duraludon up and down.

[Damien, surprisingly, has not been staring at Duraludon. if he hadn't met Toshi, Izuku Midoriya's gryphon-manticore-thing, while they were both still here, he might be, but he's learning to take things in stride. that in mind, he nods to Duraludon in greeting -- that seemed to work with Toshi. hello there, dragon thing]

Not personally. I've seen you two around, though -- and that blonde boy. [he's talking about Blue, and while he probably knows him by name, if again not personally, he has a habit of referring to people by what they look like for other people's benefit. never mind the fact that Raihan probably knows Blue by name]

[rotomphone]

[ that's a surprise, and one that Raihan respects! not that he would blame him for looking Duraludon over, but it means that they can speak on the same level of chill. that said, even he had been bright-eyed at meeting Toshi... but that might just be his zest for all things new and Pokémon-like.

though Duraludon can't nod in acknowledgement due to the lack of a neck, he does part his mouth slightly. that works, right? right. ]

You mean Blue? Yeah... he's hard to miss. [ he smirks; if there was anyone around here that Raihan was subtly competing against for attention, it was probably him. ] Well, you know us now! And I think I want to pick your brain on some stuff, so this won't be the last you see of me.

[abeautifulgame]

[that sure is -- some kind of reaction, even if he's not sure what to make of it. he's just going to pretend it's a good thing, if only because Duraludon hasn't made a move for him]

Him, yeah. [a beat] But you're welcome, anytime. [and another] Though, I should probably warn you I'm not exactly an expert in sports. [beyond just football]
