And as if right on cue, because fate is a fox and enjoys laughing at them, there is a "CONAN! We're supposed to go together!" From Ayumi. So much disappointed frowny child. So much.

"Thanks, kid," Eva mutters as brown eyes widen. Eva then takes that as her cue to swap places with one of the gathered people, somehow managing to beg off giving a name and 'just a trainer from a Johtan border town with a cold'.

And then she calmly exits stage left. Mostly, because she grabs her lunch and retreats to another bench not far away, this time hidden by the growing crowd. It's one thing to avoid attention and another to not make sure civilians are safe. It's the least she can do for a city hosting her show match, after all.


"Hey, was that a trainer just now?" Ayumi asks; she knows she saw someone get up and leave! "Did we miss a trainer making an arrest too?!"
