Action

[bleeding_heart]

[Anyone passing through Union's parks today will likely happen upon a somewhat odd sight.  Merrill is sitting on a bench, leaning forward with her hands on her knees and staring with great interest at a Sawsbuck.  The Sawsbuck doesn't seem to be doing anything terribly interesting, splitting its time roughly equally between staring back at Merrill, standing and looking regal as it listens for potential danger, and grazing lightly on the grass.  Despite this, however, its trainer's attention remains absolutely riveted on the Pokemon, as if she's expecting it to do something amazing any moment now.]

Oh, I can't wait...!

It might answer a question though. Is it a natural shift? Or is it one they control...

[Staring is reasonable.]

[bleeding_heart]

It'll be exciting to find out and watch. I wonder what it looks like.

[rainsrespite]

Oh, I'm sure. I do have my camera too. So I can photograph him.

[bleeding_heart]

Maybe we should take shifts watching him.

[rainsrespite]

You aren't worried about making him nervous?

[bleeding_heart]

I don't think he gets nervous. He spends a lot of our time together watching me, actually.

[Mainly because he's protective, and has quickly realized how accident prone Merrill is.]

[rainsrespite]

Well, that's true...maybe it's because you're pretty.

[Ah, ah! She's trying to be flirty...]

[bleeding_heart]

I think it's because he's protecting me, actually.

Oh, that was a compliment, wasn't it? Sorry. And... thank you.

[She leans over to plant a kiss on her cheek.]

[rainsrespite]

Yes.

[Yuuna bursts into a laugh, turning very suddenly to catch Merrill on the lips instead of receiving on the cheek.]

Yes it was. I'm glad you have a new protector though.
