“I wouldn't go that far,” Leon commented with a small laugh. “It'll feel like you're mocking it. Just treat it normally. Like you would treat me, for instance.” He lowered his hand to the Nidoran again and pet it, grinning a bit. Though, he caught the annoyed look from Rasca. Lowering his voice, he continued. “She really is trying. Give her a chance.”

The Nidoran looked up at him dully for a moment before letting out a sigh, turning, and running after the girl. Catching up, it stayed by her leg, simply walking with her. For Leon's part, he got to his feet, still holding the smaller Nidoran, and went to walk after the two. “Rasca, I wanted to ask you. I thought of putting this whole thing together, but...what do you wanna get out of it? I wasn't sure what your goal would be if we set out together with our Nidorans.”
