"Hmmmm." Sounds like an interesting story to Lusamine, but that is a story she would like to hear about later. "How about you? How are you doing?"
"Huh? Oh, I'm doing fine. I'm keeping up with my studies and... I'm trying my hardest to touch Pokemon." That last one was said with a low voice.
Lusamine frowned at that, her little interrogation forgotten for the moment, "How is that going by the way?" Her voice is full of sadness and sympathy.
"Uh... alright I guess." Lillie said as the faces of friends flashed into her head, "My friends are helping me with my fear, especially Ash, he-!"
Lillie slaps her mouth closed as her eyes widen. How careless of her. Her mother smiled, though this was purely accidental, she went back to her covert interrogation.
"Ash?" She feigned ignorance to that name, "That's a new one, who is he? A new classmate of yours?"
No way can she get her way out this and lying to her mother is the last thing she wants to do in her life. There's no turning back now.
"Y-yes,"
