[It all happens so quickly that Tifa hardly has time to react until Rotom pauses in front of her, his smile just as wide as it was when he was... in the phone? Was that a thing?

She heeds Raihan's warning, not quite touching the Pokemon but wriggling a finger near him, not close enough to warrant a shock, but she comes dangerously close to it. Duraludon is an impressive creature, and Rotom is no different than that, impressive for his own reasons. As far as she knows, the other Pokemon in this world can't talk, and he's quick and hard to spot when he isn't stopped.]

Well, it's nice to properly meet you, Rotom!

[It feels less weird than talking to Raihan's phone, if she's being honest. Speaking of phones...!]

Hey, does the camera on that thing work?

[rotomphone]

p it sure is a thing! and Rotom is just as careful as she is, giving her fingers a gentle nuzzle that ends up feeling more like a tickle of static cling than an actual shock. though he can't talk in his form, the fact that he's slowed down for her makes it clear that it's nice to meet her, too. ]

"Does the camera work", she asks! Hah! [ even Rotom has to snicker at that. ] I've been taking selfies since Rotom decided to wake up and smell the Roselia. It's sort of my thing back where I'm from, so I need to make up for lost time!

Which reminds me... [ he beckons her and Rotom closer while scrolling through his apps with a seasoned thumb. ] All friends of the great Raihan are contractually obligated to have a spot in his camera roll.

[Tifa is quick to scoot closer, as if she'd been expecting it to go this way all along.

The camera on her own phone works fine enough, but her flip phone is nothing as advanced as his... and it certainly doesn't have a Pokemon attached to it, so her excitement when she peers over at the phone's screen is palpable.]

Thought you'd never ask! [...] How do we wanna pose for the camera?

[rotomphone]

That depends on the flavour of Raihan you want! My fans usually like pics with my fierce side--

[ he demonstrates with his arm up, curling his fingers to mimic a dragon's claw and paired with a devilish smile that shows off his fanged canine. it's a perfected fanservice pose, to say the least. ]

But I can play it natural, if you want. Rotom knows all my best angles - I'll make sure he gets yours, too!

[ the Pokémon has already slipped itself back into his phone, more than happy to play photographer for them. somehow, Tifa has managed to ease the atmosphere and help get his mind off of his earlier trepidation -- he'll probably realize it later, but right now he's sufficiently distracted. ]

[starshower]

How about a little bit of both?

[It's not as if anyone else will be seeing this besides the people in the Void (as far as she knows), but she runs her fingers through her hair to make sure it's neat and all where it should be before she mimics Raihan's pose. She goes for imitating cat's claws rather than a dragon, and her devilish smirk is more of a confident grin, but close enough.]

I've got a fierce side, too.

[rotomphone]

Oh? Alright, let's do it - I won't steal your thunder.

[ he'll just go with his failsafe combination smoulder and wink, then! he leans in enough that both of them can be in the shot, prompting Rotom to hover above and angle himself for a good shot. between the two of them, there's more than enough ferocity and charm to go around. ]

Ready? Say cheezzzze!

[starshower]

[He's the pro here, not her! But regardless, Tifa smiles wider for the camera, her expression warming a touch from what she'd just shown him.]

Cheeeese!

[And once she's sure the photo's taken, she scoots a little closer.]

Can we see it? Gotta make sure we look okay before we share it, right?

[Share it with who???]
