[ There's a quick grin in return, as much a reflexive response to Masaomi's own smile as it is a little victorious I knew it at having guessed right where to check first.
She's seventeen, but Ikki still skips inside the kitchen and boosts herself up on a clear space of counter, kicking her feet idly as Karma trots over to sit on the floot beneath her. ] Whatcha making?
[ Ikki herself had never attempted a league win. She'd tried some of those contests, and those were still fun to do, of course, but after thinking about it she wasn't sure a professional training spot was what she wanted. She'd always battle on the side, yes, but last year she'd finally made up her mind and asked Masaomi about signing up for pokemon nurse training.
It was something she could do anywhere, it was useful, and she got to talk to almost everyone who came into town (because everyone went to the pokecenter, sooner or later - it was a central point of life). She'd picked up a part-time job filing papers at the pokecenter, on the basis that would help her get placement when she graduated - up until that point she'd worked at a variety of places part-time, everything from waitressing to ticket-taking for the Magnet Train. While once upon a time Ikki had mentioned she'd wanted to travel the world when she was older, she'd already done that, here. And she didn't much like the idea of going without Masaomi, because even ten years after the fact she couldn't be certain that one or the other of them wouldn't up and disappear tomorrow.
ten years later. <3

Besides, it was interesting. ]
