Courtyard Encounter (ZAN/CLOSED)

Sephere dashed around, yipping with joy and just enjoying the outside air. Sometimes, he would tackle Ventrunes, yipping once at him and then quickly darting away. All Ventrunes could do was laugh.
A roaming trapinch and its trainer caught Ventrunes' eye. The trainer, standing about four to five inches shorter than himself, was covered in tattoos. As it was all he could really see and tell what it was, the dragonair going up her right leg stood out amongst the others. Suddenly, he was being tackled once again by Sephere, this time, his face planting into the grass in front of him. The excited zorua quickly saw what he did to his person and started licking Ventrunes' face, as if he were sincerely apologizing.
Ventrunes sat back up, laughing and wiping his face off.
"It's okay, Sephere. You didn't hurt me. Just warn me next time." Smiling at his zorua, Ventrunes quickly swept up Sephere into his arms and gave him a huge hug, receiving a yip of surprise from the Pokémon.

After releasing Sephere, the Pokémon quickly noticed the trapinch and girl laying down closeby. Having never seen one before, it was curious. Slowly walking up, it sniffed at the trapinch, then tapped it with one paw before darting away and laughing the way only a Zorua can.
Ventrunes just shook his head and laughed. Standing up and moving closer, he grabbed Sephere's sides, startling him and causing him to give another yip of surprise.
"Sorry about Sephere," Ventrunes said to the girl and the trapinch. "He's never seen much other Pokémon. Especially not one from a different region than we lived in."

"I'm Ventrunes, and this is Sephere," Ventrunes said while motioning to his Pokémon. "I'm new here, so I just came to the courtyard for now." Looking around the yard, Ventrunes just now noticed the other people actually out here. "How did I miss--?" He shook his head, slowly laughing to himself. "I guess I am just not too observant. Anyway," Ventrunes turned back to Zandra. "What are the other people like? I would love to meet them."
