Drayden had greeted Cynthia in the foyer of the gym, and the two of them had sat on one of the convenient tables in that space where they were sharing some cups of tea. They started discussing dragon pokemon, but the conversation had quickly shifted and gotten a bit stretched out more than either of them had anticipated. Upon hearing the sound of Iris' approach, they both turn. Cynthia perking up a bit as she can't help but find the plucky young lady adorable. Honestly, even more so when she hears her little greeting. The girl's spunk and attitude had a certain charm to it.
"Now Iris," Drayden stands up and crosses his arms. "I understand you're anxious to get your journey started but that's no reason to be rude."
"Oh it's fine, Drayden," Cynthia says, also standing. "I didn't realize I was holding things up. Hello, sweetie, I'm Cynthia. It's a pleasure to meet you. Drayden's told me so much about his protegee," she smiles and holds out her hand to Iris. "He also mentioned how you're getting ready to challenge the Unova region. That must be so exciting for you. I remember my first journey and it was quite an experience."
