[ lance simply responds to blue's protestations with a warm smile. of course blue isn't scared of him, but lance will give him a slice of humble pie . . . at another date. for now, his expression shifts from a warm smile to something a little more serious and thoughtful, as he glances around the place. ]

No, I have never been to a place like this.

[ which is pretty remarkable, he thinks to himself; lance has traveled all over the world and has visited a lot of strange places, but this place is completely alien to him. no one really seems to recognize him here, which is sort of a nice change. he can explore at his leisure without being bothered until he meets raihan, anyway.

but as for what to do, lance is sort of at a loss. he doesn't let that show, though, instead thinking to himself before he shrugs, glancing toward blue. ]

We attempt to figure out who lives here, if anyone. Gather information on the surrounding areas, and try to find more of our friends, if they are here. And if you were with Red, then perhaps he found his way here, too.

[ just to give blue some sort of incentive to hang out with lance a little bit longer. gathering information, trying to track down other trainers . . .that seems to be a good start, anyway. ]

I also want to meet the people, or being, that brought us here, to have a discussion about my Pokemon.

[ lance still looks fairly calm, but it's pretty clear if you know him very well that the conversation about why he can't access his team is probably not going to end well for the other person. ]
