Desmond simply watched as April took over, handling the two easily. He became momentarily distracted as Fluff walked over and stood by his side, crossing her small, stubby arms with a strait look on her face. He honestly worried about her sometimes, but was glad she helped him stop the two baby Pokemon from fighting. Though if it was for his sake, or for that treat, he wasn't sure. 

Blinking as he was spoken to, Desmond leaned against the counter with an obviously pleased smile on his face. Had he handled it well? He thought it might have been a little much for the two to go through, but they were fine now. His smile shifted into a more nervous one as she commented about how she first handled such a situation. [color=fff200]"Heheh... I guess it did."[/color] He laughed a little, sharing the awkwardness with April. Though it faded after a moment, and everything seemed to return to normal.

Desmond's eyes glanced in April's direction as she stirred their meal. His smile softened, though quickly changed into a shocked expression as he felt Fluff smack his leg irritably. [color=fff200]"What?"[/color] He asked, looking down at his partner, only to notice her glaring at him with an  expression that made it obvious she wasn't amused. They simply stared at each-other silently for a moment, before Desmond spoke. [color=fff200]"Bored, aren't you?"[/color] 

Fluff nodded in response.

[color=fff200]"Why don't you go play with the other baby Pokemon? They're nice."[/color] Desmond suggested, and an evil smirk crossed Fluff's face. She turned slowly, and put her hands together as she let out a low growl. This set off ten different alarms in Desmond's head, and he called out, [color=fff200]"F-Fluff! No!"[/color] 

Turning, his Pokemon's face became sad. Sad, and somewhat irritated. Sighing, she trotted back over to Desmond and sat down, crossing her arms. She didn't want to wait until tomorrow to get a little practice in. 

[color=fff200]"I said we'll battle tomorrow, alright? We're facing a Gym Leader, and we'll need to be at full strength if we want to win."[/color] His words caused Fluff to perk up. She was excited about the idea of facing a Gym Leader, as they were tough opponents. Well, at least Grant was tough. Tough enough to beat them. She hoped this would turn out better than her last experience, but knew it wouldn't if she was tired. She nodded at Desmond, seeming satisfied. 

[color=fff200]"Hah, good. Glad to see you understand."[/color] Desmond said with relief, before his attention went back to April. A quick whiff of the kitchen was all he needed to know what she made would be something better than what he'd been living off of. He walked over and peeked at the stew, finding just the sight of it to be majestic. [color=fff200]"Wow... It looks great!"[/color] He seemed a little too excited about it, but considering how hungry he was, it wasn't too surprising.
