There was a shade of disappointment in Val's eyes when he heard the word library. Definitely the opposite of where he needed to go, or well, where his pokemon insisted on going. The Larvesta perched on him let out a low whine, prompting its trainer to dig in his pockets for its pokeball and return it inside. It wasn't a good feeling to have to stifle his partner like that, but Val knew it wouldn't be a good situation to have it carry on while he was with a total stranger.
"Sorry about my pokemon. And, research, no, not originally," Val replied somewhat casually as he minimized the pokeball in his hand, "but it would probably be a good idea to read up for a better picture of this region, now that I think about it. You don't mind if I tag along with you for a bit?" Behind his slightly more confident smile he wondered briefly what this woman was researching on herself and if he could help, but didn't voice that question and offer. He judged it as too prying to drop into a quick conversation.
