The question chips at Rose's comfortable demeanour for no more than an instant, the sting almost invisible - Tabitha might easily miss it. "I inherited my position, actually," Rose reveals, simply, neither sheepishly nor proudly, as if she were fully aware of the luck of the genetic draw that it represented. "Which I suppose makes it a bit of both. Growing up in that sort of environment certainly biased me toward the role, but there were some things that I only came to appreciate once I had it, since certain things I'd taken for granted turned out to be less simple." She shrugs lightly, casting her gaze down briefly as if more comfortable reminiscing with the ground in sight. Both her brows raise as she seems to consider a different part of the conversation, bringing up he free hand to run it through her hair in a passing, absent-minded gesture. "But enough about that, it's not strictly useful to you. One tip that comes to mind: Since you'll probably end up working mostly on the arid side of Sehto, a water pokémon is probably the best choice to guard against the wild pokémon in the general area. That said, be sure to take a few paralyse heals to supplement it, as those are likely going to make all the difference if you encounter an electric pokémon, rare though they may be." | The question chips at Rose's comfortable demeanour for no more than an instant, the sting almost invisible - Tabitha might easily miss it.
