Ava was just lounging on the grass, and by a picnic table somewhere right from her were sitting two elderly people. One was a man with gray hair and a beard and sturdy build, Ava's brand new partner in this tournament. The other was an elderly lady who had white hair and a rather sagely, tired expression. She yawned and tugged a travel pillow under her neck, one that Ava had given her.
"Hey kiddo, when's this guy going to show up? We've been waiting for 25 minutes."
Ava rolled onto her stomach and shrugged at the older man, for now nicknamed Fred.
"You were the one who wanted to come earlier, that's why we've been waiting for so long."
Fred huffed a bit and crossed his arms.
"It's common sense to come to a meeting earlier than normal."
"Now now, you two. There's nothing wrong with enjoying little outside air. I'm the one being traded here, and I'm completely calm."
The old lady, nicknamed Izzy, said with a low, sleepy tone and leaned her elbows on the table. Both Fred and Ava just huffed and shrugged and resumed waiting.
After a short while Ava and Fred both perked a bit when someone approached them. Ava recognized the dude from when they had talked earlier, and jumped up. With the guy there was a teenage boy, who looked around Ava's age. He could help Ava make acid. That was wicked cool.
"Yo! Nice of you to show up, how's it going?"
Ava grinned and perched her hands on her hips. Behind her Fred had stood up by the table and Izzy was still seated, and observed the pair that had just artive calmly. Both of the regalia nodded in a greeting.
