As Lilith took the map from Willow, she felt the Rhyhorn moved from under her. Lilith took a step back to give him some space and watched in silence as he made a great effort to stand to his feet. When she notice him struggle, shaking at the knees, Lilith quickly positioned herself beside him, allowing his body to rest lightly against hers if only for a moment. It seemed he remained his own balance quickly enough. Still, she stayed close, worried he’d topple over. Not the smartest move, in hindsight, as her small fluffy body would be crushed under the weight of his own. She hovered alongside her new companion for a moment before feeling comfortable to let him go on his own. [i]He’s good…[/i] she figured. And he was.

Lilith watched from a distance as Timothy walked by Willow and the others, making his way outside. She blinked. [i]I feel like I should clap…or something…[/i] She looked down at her feet. [i]Oh…right[/i] Lilith perked her ears up, a half-hearted grin across her face, and rushed over to her new partner. She made sure not to stand in the way of the doorway and stood beside him, her tail swaying behind her legs. She placed the map out in front of her.

“How do you feel, Timothy?” she asked, waiting for him to catch his breath. A part of her felt as if she should congratulate him but then again…perhaps that would be silly. He only walked a few feet. If merely seeing a trigger caused him such distress then perhaps he wasn’t emotionally stable for the dungeon. However, Willow had partnered the two together and to some extent that made them fiends. Lilith was taught to never turn a back on a friend or those in need. She took a deep breath. It wasn’t for her to decide, she supposed, whether he go or not. She didn’t really know his what he's capable of and did not want to judge him so quickly. Arceus knows a few, if not all, of the others already have. After giving him a few seconds to regain his composure, Lilith spoke up again.

“It’s up to you. We should stay back for a moment so you can calm down, but if you’re still up to it then we’ll go to the dungeon together. Look,” she gestured to the map with her nose, “We can catch up to the others if they go ahead of us. It’s okay if you want to rest up. No rush. It won’t stop you from becoming a Rhydon. You’ll evolve someday and this whole ordeal will be a thing of the past!” Her smile never faltered.
