[It's a bit difficult to be sad when someone is covered in Pokemon. Granted, this is mostly because it's not exactly an everyday occurrence to see or be the one covered in a half-dozen species of Pokemon. By now, Dhaos is just glad that someone is going to try and assist him.]

I am not in any danger, if that is what you mean. I would appreciate some assistance convincing them to leave, however. I fear Astrid is becoming irritated by their presence.

[He smiles weakly, suggesting that he's been stuck in this spot a while.]
