[b][i] – Vee[/i][/b]

“Jazz?” Vee repeated. Now [i]that[/i] was a familiar name. Her ears perked up with recognition, feeling even friendlier than before now that she knew Altaire was acquainted with someone she was rather fond of. “Really? It’s no fun to just watch people play around though right? Try asking to join sometime. Beast, the old softy, wouldn’t bite. In fact, you should try jumping on his back or stomach if you get the chance to.” She grinned, already thinking about actually egging on more young pups to ‘attack’ Beast.

Her eyes opened wide with surprise as Altaire suddenly shifted into another Eevee, or rather… An exact copy of her. It was easy to tell because he had also replicated the scar she had on the base of her ear. “Are you a ditto?” She asked, recalling the image of a pink squishy pokemon known for transforming into various forms. It was the first one that came to her mind when she thought about a pokemon that could mimic the form of others. And though she had blurted the question out as the first thing that came to mind, there was actually something she was a lot more curious to know. “Wait… Are you a male or female?”

Vee had ‘known’ that Altaire was a male while he was in the form of a young Poochyena, but now that she knew he could change to copy others she realized that she probably couldn’t assume anything about him. ‘His’ gender or age, for example. Tilting her head to the side, she let out a small thoughtful hum as she tried to guess anyway. But unfortunately she realized that Altaire’s first appearance had made her completely biased as to what she thought about him. Her ‘best’ guesses right now was that he was a male, and really young… Basically she was basing her guesses on his form as a Poochyena pup.

While waiting for a reply, she glanced back over at Rin and gave him an appreciative smile. “Looks like your nose was spot-on.” She told him, recognizing the fact that he had been able to detect the fact Altaire was not actually a Poochyena.
