When she had first met him, the idea of him being romantic seemed incredibly far fetched. He was just a kid then, as was she, and to think that fateful meeting had turned into this... How had she gotten so lucky? "Of course I like it!" Her smile is bright and full, eyes gleaming with pride. Despite thinking she would have only messed up their dynamic as friends, she knows that the right choice was made in confessing her feelings to him. And now... He's all hers! Well, more like Red's stuck with her but she's certain he wouldn't have it any other way.[break][break]

She playfully rolls her eyes at his next words. Of course he challenged anyone he could find in Sinnoh. How could anyone expect anything less of the Kanto Champion? He'd issue a challenge to the entire world if he could... Actually, she's quite surprised he hasn't figured out a way to do just that. Maybe one day he'll even host his own tournament just to see who has what it takes to face him. She'd enter in a heartbeat, if just for the opportunity to even come close to one day besting him in a battle. He's won every time, not that she's counting or anything, but maybe just maybe she can come out on top. "Surprising," she murmurs with a smirk. "You'd think snow covered mountains would all be the same." Of course she knows it's all in the experience for him. Mount Silver is familiar to him while Mount Coronet just isn't. He knows the mountain that connects both Johto and Kanto like the back of his hand and for him to go to any other mountain always ends in disappointment.[break][break]

Well, there's that pride he's just slightly known for. Certainly not nearly as bad as ole Green Bean but still if his head grew any larger she's sure he'd simply topple over. At least he's in one piece and not ripping at the seams. She'd raise a big ruckus if that weren't the case. Honestly, he'd have some nerve to show up here in rough shape knowing how nervous she gets about him traveling so far in the first place. No one can stop him, though. He basically just goes wherever he wants and does whatever interests him. Part of her wishes she could live that kind of lifestyle... "You better be fine or I'll raise hell," she muses, completing her words by sticking out her tongue. He knows all too well how fierce she can be when it comes to the people she cares about. Hell, she'd even try to kick the shit out of someone for Green if needed. Her boy can handle his own, sure, but someone will rue the day they mess up even a single strand of hair on Red's head.[break][break]

"Oh of course you were!" Her tone is dramatic as she flashes a cheeky grin. "He's been itching for you to come back, even if he won't say it. No one puts up half as much of a challenge as you do, honey." It's true. The two longtime rivals have always been the best at pushing each other to do better, be better. Maybe if she had a rival like that then her and her Pokemon wouldn't be as out of shape as they currently are. "Save that for later, though. Green can wait, I can't." Blue puts on her best pleading look, bright puppy dog eyes, innocent pout and all. Usually it works... But then again, anything she does seems to work on Red. The same logic also seems to apply for him as well.[break][break]

The only boy to ever make her blush with compliments... Maybe it's because she knows how much he means everything that flies out of his mouth. Nevertheless, she giggles in an attempt to bring the focus off of her burning cheeks. "Keep saying that stuff to me and I'll never fit through a door with my huge head." The sneaky little voice in the back of her mind relishes in the attention and while she knows she shouldn't, she almost hopes for more compliments to come rushing from his lips. "Oh, you know... The usual," she begins, threading her fingers through his as he begins to guide them through the streets. "Stealing, bothering Green, smothering Yellow in cuddles... Just some eventful stuff. Just another day in the life of Viridian I suppose." Nothing half as eventful as his world travels but sometimes a girl's gotta convince herself that her measly life isn't all that boring. Hopefully with Red back, things will get a lot more interesting. With a smile, she turns to look at him just as Ditty finally climbs back onto her shoulders. The purple Pokemon issues a soft, content coo upon coming into contact with the skin at the back of Blue's neck and settles into the collar of her shirt without much of a fuss, happy to enjoy the stroll with the couple.
