As Claire and Latias took their places at her side, Zokura couldn't help but giggle at the relationship the two had. Claire, so professional and serious, and Latias, a child by heart, a legend by mind. The pair truly were the perfect match, each of their personalities complimenting and counteracting the other's.

[i][b]"P-princess"[/b][/i], she sniffed, [i][b]"C-Claire's being mean to me! I say we give her 1000 years in the dungeon!"[/b][/i] 

Zokura smiled warmly at the blue and white pokemon, [b]"But my dear Latias, a thousand years in the dungeon would leave you alone for an awfully long time, and I don't think Claire would enjoy it very much. Besides, I couldn't very well imprison one of my best guards, especially in these uncertain times. Perhaps you should try and work things out? I know deep down you want to."[/b] She took a moment to appreciate the bond between the two. As she did, she looked around at the pokemon and their companions; the pokemon had no obligation but their own honor and word to stand by the humans of the land, and yet time and time again they would put their lives on the line to help them. The connections they formed with their human companions went deeper than nobility, it was love and respect at its fullest. She could never imagine enslaving a pokemon to do her bidding as she heard people were doing in the far corners of the world. 

Just as she nodded to Suicune to motion towards departure, Donovan spoke up, asking Claire and Latias a favor. Zokura halted her leave and stood politely waiting, understanding full well that a legendary flier would do great service in the scouting mission.
