[And she concurs - she wouldn't argue against that she's making a new friend, or that it's exciting, and it's just a little different from anyone she has before because this is the very first time she's aware that chance has brought someone else from an America overrun with walkers to Johto. And those thoughts and the desire to take this introduction for what it is are certainly starting to cover the notions regarding what he could maybe-just-maybe know for now.]

...What are your friends from back there like? Maybe I can let you know if I ever see one of them. Or hear about one of them.
