And because Eunmi was also surprised, she did nothing to help the girl from falling. It was likely a slow fall, tangled up in blankets and such. The korean girl sat up abruptly and peered over the side of the bed.
"...I uh..."
Eunmi scratched the back of her head, making her hair fall even more out of the loose bun it barely held in.
"...I dunno if its worse that that just happened or that my dream was about my ex boyfriend..." she mumbled, cheeks flushed lightly. Henrietta was hiding her face, tinged red, and tangled in blankets on the floor.
"Was I that bad?" the teenager, who wasn't exactly shy, couldn't help but think. Luckily she somehow managed to keep from saying that out loud.
"Oh s**t, the door," the teenager said, scrambling up. She nearly tripped in the blankets, noticing Sal snoozing in her pillows still (thank god), and pulled the door open.
David would probably be surprised to see Eunmi in such a state - hair a mess, her black tank top strap falling off to the side, cheeks flushed.
"...hello?" she squeaked.

-Meanwhile, back in Dave's hotel room-
Cicero emerged from his ball and looked to the Munna, tapping it lightly to wake it up. [Hey, you alright? It's morning] The Munna opened it's eyes, then looked to Cicero. [All that yesterday....you and your trainer saved me?] Cicero nodded [Dave isn't my trainer, but yes. Those meanie humans were kicking you and stuff, we couldn't just let them get away with it. It was awful, even after we beat up their pokemon, they wouldn't stop. That weird robed human scared them off though, so it all work out somehow. I'm Cicero, what's your name?] The Munna floated in a circle around the Cubchoo. [Nice to meet you, Cicero, I'm Mandy. And thank you, for saving me.]

Ex-boyfriend? Henrietta looked up at Emi between fingers until she went to answer the door. Henrietta, for the first time realizing that someone had been knocking, sat up herself. Burgundy hair in a mess of its own, curls and tangles stuck to her shoulders and face. Face still bright red and a strap of her own falling, Henrietta lowered her arms and looked to see who was at the door.
Seeing Robert she climbed to her feet and over the bed, nearly tripping over Salieri and, by some twist of luck, she managed to get over her and soon found herself next to Eunmi at the door. Though she refused to look at the other girl, her face still bright red from the event only moments ago. Her eyes, instead, were locked on to Robert with anticipation, hope.

Dave chuckled at Eunmi's appearance. "Well good morning there sleepyheads. Goliath and I have just finished our morning shower, and were planning on getting some breakfast. Might you and your companions be interested in joining us? My treat, of course. It's the least I can do after your help yesterday." He looked to Robby "Oh yes, your chubby friend here is more than welcome to come as well"

And thus did Robby appear, at the same moment that David turned to look. He had been in another room, actually, conjoining, but not the same one none-the-less. It left David with room to say all that he did, and catch a glimpse of the most amazing being in all existence.
Robby munched his chips. "Breakfast, yeah? Aaalright."

"..uhm," Eunmi glanced at Henrietta, flushed, and nodded. "Just give us a bit to get changed and stuff. And uh..."
Noting Salieri still snoozing in her bed, Eunmi exhaled.
"I think we'll just let her sleep," Eunmi proposed.

Henrietta was snapped out of things by Robby's appearance, which made her jump. She looked at Robby and then David and then Emi and she said, "I-i'm not hungry." Not that she wasn't, mind you, she just didn't want to sit in a crowd of people. Besides that, she had no idea who David was. To her, he was a random guy asking girls he barely knew to breakfast.
Still, a question hung in the air as Henrietta looked at Robert again and she said, "did you find him? Darumi?"

Robert shook his head to her question. "I found the guy who took those Pokemon, but he had already handed them off to someone else, most likely another Plasma grunt. Guy wouldn't give me any information beyond that. Best thing we can do is file a report to the police. We at least know who did the theft, and if they have a picture of him on record, I can point him out. Chances are we'll run into Team Plasma again, so we have to hope your Pokemon can escape or we come across whoever has him at the moment." Robert spoke to the girl. It was, at least, some progress, but not the kind any of them had hoped for. "If they are a 'liberation' group as they claim and set him free, he'll most likely come back to seek you out and reunite with you. Still, the best thing we can do is continue to keep our eyes and ears peeled, and get stronger so the next time we have to face Plasma, we can take them on and take them down." Robert said with a calm tone of voice.
"I'm going to head to the gym. I need to get stronger as a trainer." Robert said. He had read about the place as being both a gym and a resteraunt, so he'd most likely grab some breakfast before taking on the gym leader.

"Alright then, thanks," Eunmi said, slamming the door shut. Mostly because she still didn't like Robert much, but also because she had a feeling that news was going to make Henrietta cry.
Her hand still on the door, she frowned and looked down at the girl.
"...you okay?"

Henrietta had, indeed, started crying. She'd put her faith on Robert only because she'd been so tired, too tired to have faith in anything or anyone else. He had the Pokemon that could fight, the body of a warrior, so she'd thought she could throw that weight on his shoulders.
The rest result was that her hands were covering her face again, her palms at her eyes as she rubbed the tears away. She sniffled and looked at Emi and she nodded.
"I... I need to go and train," she said and she turned away from Emi, looked at Robby who was just there, like some cosmic universe eating horror, and she made her way toward the bathroom. She stopped at the door and said, "h-hum, I'm gonna go first. I-if that's fine with everyone."

David nodded "I am sorry to hear that. I had hoped to get to know you a little better. I can't say I have any human friends. Emi here I have only known since yesterday." He frowned, turning his gaze to Robert. "I was planning on joining Team Plasma, you know, it was the etire reason I came to Unova in the first place."

Robert shook his head as the door was slammed in his face. Looking back, he could have sent his Gardevoir and Combusken away with Beatrix's Teleport, along with their Pokeballs so the man couldn't threaten him with stealing his companions away, but even had he done that, he was too tired back then to be able to fight at his best. He looked over at the man who addressed him. "I wouldn't. They're nothing but a group of thieves and Pokemon murderers, and the Munna at the Dreamyard can attestify to that. They hide their true nature behind their silver tongues." Robert explained before he left.
Robert headed over to the Striaton Gym. He'd let his Pokemon eat some oran berries for breakfast, leaving himself unfed. Once the doors were open to the public, Robert recalled his Pokemon to their Pokeballs and entered inside. He'd look around for one of the staff to address. "Hello. I am here for a gym battle, whenever the gym leader is available for taking challengers." Robert spoke in a calm and polite tone of voice. He had a strong determination. He had to get stronger. He couldn't allow himself to keep failing when others needed him.

Eunmi slid down against the door into a seated position, staring blankly at Robby.
"...I wish we could do something more to help," she said.

Henrietta would enter the shower then, as she found no complaints about it. Then, without any description at all, she took said shower. Once out she recalled that she'd left her back outside near the cot and, with three people in the room, she was less than comfortable going and trying to retrieve it. So, wrapped in towels, one for the body, one for the hair, she opened the door only a tiny bit and said, "c-can someone get my bag, p-please?"

"One sec," Eunmi said, scooping the bag up and sheilding her eyes with her free hand.
"Here," she mumbled blindly.
