As soon as they were outside, Eunmi squinted. ((lolasians)) It was still fairly light out, probably approaching four or so ((I am guessing)), so the sun was bright but getting read to set in a couple hours.
The teenager wrapped her arm around Henrietta's shoulder, placing them hip to hip, and she smiled.
"Whatchu wanna do?" she asked, intoxicated just enough to forget how much Henrietta didn't like people invading her personal space. She leaned close enough that if she tripped she might smack her forehead against Henrietta's.

Henrietta's face lit up when Eunmi drew close. She tensed up, her shoulders drawing closer to her. "H-hum, I-i was gonna t-teach Dali, r-remember?" Henrietta asked. Her head, meanwhile, tilted away from Eunmi. She figured their faces had been close enough for one day and accidentally kissing Eunmi a third was time.....

"Ah," Eunmi said, drawing back a bit.
"I suppose we can do that, but I'm not really in any hurry," Eunmi said and smiled.
"We could go shopping-" Eunmi tripped, stumbling forward a few awkward steps. She caught herself and spun around quickly - maybe too quickly - and smiled again.
"Maybe not," Eunmi replied, teetering a bit. "I might get cited for public intoxication."
The teenager rose a hand to scratch her head and then looked suddenly very upset.
"My hair tie," she murmured, realizing her hair was still undone from the tournament. She combed her fingers through it a few times to ensure it wasn't a mess (it wasn't), and then sighed. "I suppose training is the only thing to do."
What she meant is, dressed like this, it was the only thing worth doing.

"H-hold on," Henrietta said and she used her free hand to dig through her bag. (I'm assuming Eunmi still has her wrist, because I'm like that.) Within a few seconds she'd pull out a hair tie. "H-here," she'd say as she offered it.
"T-training isn't so bad. You can teach me how to fighting. I-i mean, if it's not too much trouble. Hum."

"You want me to teach you to fight?" Eunmi asked, as if Henrietta hadn't asked before (she had), as she took the hair tie from Henrietta. She fumbled with it a bit, and after a couple of failed attempts, she left her hair in a somewhat messy looking bun (still somehow looking intentional).
"I suppose I could, but with all the trouble you get into...
"I know it will be beneficial in the long run, but first starting out you have to be careful," Eunmi said, stepping forward. She looked down at Henrietta.
"I would rather you not have to fight at all."

"Y-you know that's not possible," Henrietta said. "They have Darumi, I can't avoid them. I have to save him." She would have to fight. Some day, somehow. "I-it's not fair to ask you to fight for me. I-i know you want to protect me, but... Me getting attacked and me charging in, they're two different things." Which was true, to a certain extent. Henrietta couldn't bring herself to ask Eunmi to attack Gorm for her. It was... too cruel. Too impossible. She'd rather face the impossible odds herself.

"Then it's settled," Eunmi shrugged, turning around again, releasing her hold on Henrietta's wrist as she waved her hand nonchalantly.

"S-settled?" What was settled? she didn't understand. Wait, she should ask that.
"Wh-what's settled?"

"You don't want me to fight," Eunmi said, glancing back with a smirk on her face. "And I don't want you to fight.
"So we both will."

Henrietta felt hopeful. "S-so you'll teach me to fight? Th-thank you, Emi!" she said, slightly louder than she intended which was still pretty quiet for her. She smiled. If she could fight without her shinai, without kendo, she'd be one step closer to being able to get Darumi back.

"Only if," Eunmi said, raising her index finger as she turned completely to face Henrietta.
"You promise not to complain about my teaching method," Eunmi said, ticking one finger off. "You teach Dali how to sword fight. And you don't do something stupid like call me sensei.
"I'm not japanese," she spat. "Nor do I need you to call me anything other than my name. Tch."

Henrietta nodded. "Okay, but you told me to call you Emi, b-because I was saying your name wrong," Henrietta reminded the girl. "S-so, I can keep saying Emi, right?" It was a silly question, but Henrietta wasn't an expert on these things, she didn't know much about social interaction, about things that didn't really need to be said.

"No, you have to address me as Sung Eunmi," Eunmi said, puffing out her chest and saying her name in a thick accent. She couldn't maintain a straight face and laughed, raising her hand to ruffle Henrietta's hair.
"Emi is fine."
((AND SKIP TO TRAINING OMG.))

Henrietta lowered her head when her hair was ruffled with a "hum.."
***
AND THEN SUDDENLY IN PINWHEEL FOREST!
Henrietta had instructed her Pokemon on how to train, if they wanted to. Otherwise, they were free to do as they wished. She then hunted for a stick, a thick and durable one, and began her sparring with Dali. Due to height, she was forced onto her knees. This made the entire course of things awkward, forcing her steps to a snail pace in comparison to how she moved on her feet. Still, her work with the stick would, or should, be enough to match Dali's skill, if not surpass it. The only real problem was the difference in durability between their weapons.
During the course of this, Henrietta would coach Dali on his foot work, swinging, stance, etc. At least until Eunmi called an end to it.
Meanwhile her Pokemon trained, but that will be in a post posted later on.

A seemingly sober Eunmi watched carefully as Henrietta instructed Dali. She had instructed the Pokemon only to use the shell as a blade, instead of extending it with the Shell Blade water attack. D-Vee stood next to her in almost an identical pose - arms crossed and gaze focused. Mondrian - or Mochi as Eunmi had decided to call him - was hoping around with apparent inexhaustible energy.
"So maybe you two should be training," Eunmi knelt down. D-Vee glanced at Mochi, raising a brow.
"That's not fair, both of you need practice." Eunmi was aware that if she and D-Vee were going to try and cooperate, then D-Vee would have to compromise his strengths for tactics if she was to be what she assumed a Pokemon trainer was. In short, D-Vee would have to minimize his move pool while Eunmi got adjusted to learning his fighting style.
"Mochi needs someone agile to battle with - if I use Dali, I won't know how good Mochi is, 'cause Dali's at a type disadvantage." D-Vee looked up at Eunmi and nodded. Her reasoning was at least valid.
"Smeargle smear," he said, turning to Mochi. He pointed his thumb at himself, declaring himself Mochi's sparring partner. The cottonee simply hopped up in delight, and it was pretty evident both Eunmi and D-Vee didn't really know what the Pokemon said.
