Karen gripped her arms around Clair's waist as they ride on Dragonite through the air to where dinner was going to held.
She rested her head nuzzling into her girlfriends shoulder as they streaked through the night sky.
It was cold but that just gave her an excuse to squeeze tighter and Clair an excuse for why she was blushing so bright.
Eventually they finally landed at Blackthorn in front of her families place, the two dismounted and after his trainer gave him an affectionate pet of thanks the Dragonite was returned to his Pokéball in a glass of red.
Clair stood before the entrance taking deep breaths...before feeling her hand squeezed.
Looking up she sees Karen giving her that playful reassuring smile and the dragon trainer can't help but chuckle before opening the door.
Her grandfather was sitting down near the doorway and perked up at the sound
"Ah, Clair! Glad you made it but... who's this?"
"This is Karen, she's an elite 4 trainer and will be joining us for dinner"
The old man smiled "Ah I see, have something to talk to Lance about do you?"
Karen grinned back "Something like that"
Soon enough they were walking further into the house going through greetings of the various members of the extended family
"Hello Grandaunt Kanna"
"Greetings dear"
"How ya doing Clairy?"
"Hello Uncle I'm fine"
"Who's the pretty lady?"
"Samantha!"
"It's Alrighty Aunty Mina, this is-"
Eventually the group was corraled into the dinner table...
With Lance dashing in at the last second!
"Sorry if I'm late-" he stumbled as he saw Karen "What are you doing here?"
"Take a seat cousin" Clair said while Karen just smiled casually
After he sat down Clair stood up
"I have an announcement...I'm dating again, this is my lover Karen"
"Wait really?!"
"You were trying to hide it?"
Lance and his grandfather turned to face each other
"How could you tell?"
"Boy" he said with a smirk "I spent my youth bringing other handsome young men to secluded caves you think I don't recognize the basic signs-"
"Can we please not talk about that at the dinner table?!"
The table decended into idol bickering between eating and Clair couldn't help her releaved smile
...or her adorable poute at Karen's 'I told you so it'd go well' face
