[i]Look at her absolutely begging for his attention.[/i] He couldn't possibly think she was begging for his attention could he? Was she being to open with him? Too forward? Skye's brow furrowed as she, for the first time, considered holding back. However, he inner fire refused and she simply ignored his statement, offering another poffin to Genesis before giving a third to Korra. She had noticed that Pig had taken his leave, off hunting no doubt, and so she stored the tin away in her bag. Standing up she looked Ren up and down. "Oh, I'm sorry [i]darling[/i]" she said mocking her earlier use of the pet name. "Are you feeling left out? Cause I'd be more than happy to spoil you with attention whenever you need it, and arceus knows you may need it. I don't think I've seen you smile once since we've met. At least not genuinely." She shrugged; some people were just more serious than others. Reaching to one of two tiny pokeballs clipped to a strap along her bag, she smiled and expanded the contraption. "I guess it's only right I introduce my second partner as well. Come on out!" She said tossing the ball up in the air so as to provide space for the massive arcanine to materialize. "This, is my good friend Nova Blitz. He's like your umbreon in the sense that you might not want to touch him without his consent. He can be a little..." As if reading her mind, Nova snarled lightly at Ren an placed himself at Skye's side, his front leg planted firmly in front of her. "...protective. Calm down Nova, this is Ren and his friend. They're going to be travelling with us and leaving snide comments along the path. Pay him no mind, he seems like a bully but he's harmless." The fiery canine took a step forward and lowered his massive head to meet Ren's gaze, sniffing strongly at his hair. After a moment he gave something of a nod and backed up. "Nine!" He chuffed and reclaimed his place at Skye's side, nuzzling her cheek, almost knocking her off balance with his weight. All the while he kept his gaze locked on Ren, as if challenging him, saying [i]Come near her, I dare you.[/i]. Skye was oblivious to the sly look in her pokemon's eyes and simply shoved him aside. "Okay okay, you've met our new companions, now get over it." She smirked at Nova. Lifting the empty pokeball up she asked, "Now are you in or out?" Taking Nova's step back as an [i]out[/i] she shrugged and pocketed the device. Meanwhile, Korra was crawling up to Genesis with her poffin in her mouth, inching forward in a submissive state with her torso pressed to the ground. "Eee?" She said, offering the treat to the dark pokemon before her. Noticing this, Skye couldn't help but facepalm and shake her head; Korra may as well have been struck with a direct dose of attract for the way she was courting Ren's umbreon.
