[PRP] Welcome Back

Ray shrugged, turning as she walked to face Luke with her reply "I wish I could tell for sure kid, really. Right now its just an observation, people seem more cliquish, and some just seem more scared then anything, keeping their heads down."

It certainly didn't sound like a very pleasant working environment - it reminded him a bit of the embassy, in fact - but Luke wasn't so naive to think that a total outsider like himself could do anything to improve the situation.

For whatever reason the environment around the town had changed, Ray's outward appearance didn't seem to change, or let on that it bothered her. Though in all reality how could it not? She didn't know what just yet, but she knew something was up.

Ray continued to lead Luke down the dusty trail into the main part of town, that for the most part looked relatively scarce. this could be due to the number of people probably working during the day, but it stilled seemed a little more baron then usual.
A few collection of people were gathered around the front of shops, though it wasn't anything partially interesting, save for one group who cast glances at the two as they walked by.
Ray simply grinned at them and offered a light wave, one they didn't return as they continued to watch as they passed, Ray didn't act on it at the least, almost like she didn't notice.

"Hey! Give it back!"
A sudden voice from one of the paths leading down an opposite running street cried out, the voice of a boy, in his late teens or early twenties. He certainly looked like an accomplished trainer, well off with some of the highest rated gear that a trainer could bye, and the pokemon he had wasn't shabby, though he didn't seem to be having a lot of luck with it.
"You don't have to stay with me, but that doesn't mean you get to keep that stone, now give it back!" the boy demanded again.

The Scizor was he was talking to, black with neon green markings was frowning and glaring softly, taking a step back as the human snatched at something on the pokemon, causing the bug to jerk backwards to avoid him, snapping back at him with a harsh "Sciz!" and clamping its steely pincers in warning.
"Scizor Sciz!"
