Who: Raihan and Aerith
What: Raihan has offered his Gym Leader expertise to Aerith, who is looking to start her pidgey-cat-rabbit through its first training gauntlet. Surely, everything will go as intended.
Where: Mortis Lake and its surrounding area
When: Some time in January!
Content Warnings: Nothing, hopefully?!

[ once Aerith had expressed an interest in training the creature she'd tamed in a manner similar to a Pokémon, there was no way Raihan could deny the opportunity to flex his knowledge and help out a friend. though his team still couldn't use their proper attacks, he's been keeping them in shape enough to have crafted a few training regimes that he thinks might fit the bill for helping the Pidgey hybrid get a bit stronger. he's asked Aerith to meet him at the banks of Mortis Lake while the trees are in their bare phase, giving them plenty of time and space to work with. with a hand on its usual resting position on his hip, he gives them a pointed, but encouraging look. ]

Alright, we're officially in session! Ready to give it your all?

[ it's an open question meant for both Mireille and Aerith. progress won't be made unless both the creature and its Trainer are on the same wavelength, after all! ]

Ready! [ As usual, Aerith is present with enthusiasm and vigor, and she pumps a fist into the air as she responds. Then, the flower girl glances down to her partner, who is pecking idly at the ground. ] What about you, Mireille?

[ The hybrid looks up, head twitching. ]

Seems like a "yes" to me! [ The brunette affirms brightly. She glances back to Raihan and offers a thumbs-up. ] So, how do we get started?
