[h3][color=ec5334]Alodi the Delphox[/color][/h3][b][Altepa Desert][/b] [@MankeyMankey] Reluctantly taking the cloth from Piper, the Delphox fastened it around his maw, though it was barely large enough. [color=ec5334]"Thank you, Piper..."[/color] Staring at the ground, he let out a dejected sigh. [color=ec5334][i]Now we really must make haste. Miss Piper is now vulnerable...[/i][/color] Sounds of fighting could be heard in front of them. What was likely some sort of rock projectile fired past the pair, nearly hitting them. [color=ec5334][i]!?[/i][/color] As Alodi considered changing directions, the pair came upon a fierce battle between a Charmeleon and a Machoke.

You're kind... and you certainly did what you could. That's more than most..."[/color] Averting her gaze, she'd continue, [color=b8dab1]"If I were put in that situation, I'm not sure what I would do... I... I would love to be a parent, but I'm not sure if I could..."[/color]
