He motioned to Eve, who was looking at them with Baby Doll Eyes, something she knew to do when he started apologizing.  "I was just taking her for a walk and I guess she smelled one of her own kind out here."  He motioned to the Umbreon.  "It's been a long time since she met another of her species."
