[Piper lets the wave pass over her - it's an odd feeling, but she tries to put it from her mind to focus on the young woman. She crouches down, to better be on eye level with both the woman and her Pokemon.]

It's okay. [Her voice is still quiet, the tone she uses to calm skittish Pokemon. She addresses her next words to the Lucario and Chandelure.]

We're not going to hurt her, I promise. I swear.

[She looks away from the woman and her pokemon to sweep a glance around at the rest of the their group. Her earlier nervousness is gone, and there is a hardness in her gaze that indicates no one should make her a liar. And then her attention turns back to the girl.]

You've been running for a while now, haven't you? I'm sorry we frightened you, but you really are safe now.
