After receiving the text from Sera earlier in the day, Dove had resolved to be at the docks to greet them, though the text had been vague, only offering that the group would arrive that day in the afternoon at some point.
The girl now sat on a bench, her knees crossed and hands absently stroking Lovey's ears as she waited for them to appear, her mind still attempting to put together a plan for when they arrived. She was sure Yuri was still angry with her, and they would all be tired, that was certain. It wouldn't do to try to apologize again, not with everyone just now back from their travels, and she knew she wouldn't be able to properly even attempt it with so many others around.
The last time she had seen Luke had been the day she had read Asch's letter to him and had panicked, calling the nurses in to aid him instead of trying to console him herself... Though at the time she hadn't any idea of what to do at all, and likely had been in no shape to even try to soothe him, she had since had time to reflect, and while she couldn't exactly pinpoint the exact reason it bothered her, it did. How was she supposed to interact with him, when their last meeting had been so... And goodness knew what he had been through in the last week alone.
She sighed heavily, looking around at the groups again as the most recent boat unloaded, her eyes stopping as familiar faces appeared in the crowd. She swallowed hard, then rose to her feet with little time to think before they spotted her or came within her reach. Smiling genuinely, grateful for their return, she made her way towards them, offering a soft "Welcome back!" to the group once close enough.

Rosie had lowered her arms, crossing them behind her back as she glanced around the streets. They were home, and everyone looked pretty much as tired as she felt, with the acceptation of Luke, who looked more tied then she's probably ever felt in her entire life. The bruise on his face didn't help that at all. her chest hurt with the pain she was feeling for her friend, though she knew it was nothing compared to his.
Opening her mouth to get opinions on how to go from here, a cap, pokemon? or calling her uncle. when another voice spoke before she could. Rosie spun where she stood, stopping to see Dove. "Dove! You're here, Hi." she greeted, surprised to see the brunette. "Thank you. its good to be back~"

Noting the other's reactions as she approached, Luke's with a sinking heart and Yuri's with an extreme feeling of guilt, she first went to Rosie as age has been the most forwardly amiable. Though she had at first considered a hug, she stopped just short of the group, instead continuing her greeting. "it's good to see you again," she told them, her eyes flicking to the others before her gaze returned to the pink girl. Her hold on Livey tightened a little. "It's a little unsettling when all of the people you've met disappear all at once, even if it was only for a little while..." she added with a weak laugh, tucking her hair back.
Um, now what? For the first time in a long time, she felt awkward before a group of people, unsure of what to say. Sera just looked like she wanted to sleep, and the boys looked like they only regretted her appearance. To single any of them out for specific discussion-- though she felt she should, soon-- was out of the question, for now. After a moment, she spoke up again, this time to the full group, should they choose to answer. "So how was Grande Ile?"

Rosie seemed to be perfectly content being the one to continue talking, keeping her attention on the girl, and noticing that she didn't look entirely comfortable right now. The blond trainer tilted her head, listening to the girl before she continued "Oh, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to worry anyone." She sounded a little surprised, but she smiled encouragingly "Though, sometimes we leave for longer then that when we go for training, off island sometimes too. We're back now though! And we found Luke and Yuri~"
when asked how grand Ile was, Rosie paused, having to think about it. "Well, its beautiful, but we weren't there for very long, We really just went there for a specific reason, we didn't do too much else. well, other then shop a little." Though that much was obvious since everyone was dressed in Grand Ile clothing, more pointedly the two girls who were not native to Grand Ile.

"All?" Sera repeated, looking mildly confused. "You must not know many people then, if we're 'everyone.' And Rosie and I left a lot later than Luke and Yuri did," the girl said with a frown, though her tones were thoughtful rather than annoyed or anything like that. "They were gone for like... a week?" She stopped, glancing at the others for some sort of confirmation. "Something like that, before Rosie and I left were only a couple days. So it wasn't all at once," she finished as she raised a hand to cover a rather large yawn. Arceus, she was tired...
And Rosie's words were true, for Seraphine was also wearing one of her new Grand Ilean outfits. "Oh, yeah, shopping was fun - interesting too." It had been a little hard trying to figure out what a proper outfit would be for them, and had taken a while, but ultimately they had succeeded.

Dove nodded in understanding at the girl's words of traveling for training. The idea itself had been on her mind recently, the thought of maybe working to better her skills and protect not only herself but her friends-- if she mended things enough to even have them let her try-- prominent in her plan of action for the duration of her stay on the island. "I understand, and I'm glad you ran into them!" she smiled brightly, looking to the boys mentioned. "I wasn't sure I would ever see either of you again, but I'm glad you're back."
Yes, of course. The two people on the island that she had probably harmed most. Of course she was glad to see them. She would have the chance to fix things... If she didn't fall all over herself again in the process.
At Sera's comment, the girl's smile faded into a weaker expression, though she did her best to salvage it. "Well, I..." She paused for a moment, again unsure. "I mean after everything that happened, I just..." Her shoulders fell, a voice inside her laughing. She really didn't know many people, unlike in the environment in which she had grown up, and the few days she could have spent with them--the girls, at least-- she had instead spent on her own, trying to piece everything back together and get her feet back on the ground.
"I just missed you guys," she finally admitted, wondering if they would see how serious the sentiment was.
Looking to Luke, she added, "I was on my way to see you last week, but I ran into Emil and he said that you had gone back to Grande Ile.. I wasn't sure if that meant just for...a while or for good." Her expression warmed a little, her heart hoping the time overseas had at least eased the pain a little, though she was sure it hadn't been all fun, with the funeral to attend. "I'm really glad to see you home, though."... "Both of you," she added, looking to the taller man behind him for a few short seconds.
Her attention then shifted back to Rosie and Sera as they told her more about their trip. She nodded. "I can see," she told them, referring to their shopping. "You girls look great! That style really is something else."
