Fifi began to relax somewhat as she noticed that she was slowly warming up due to the heating that was on inside the beautiful new house she was in, as well as the warmth from being in Lucario's arms. She instinctively cuddled up to him by shifting her weight in such a manner that she pressed herself more against him. As her condition improved and she was no longer feeling so bitterly cold, she became more socially aware of her surroundings and how she was behaving. At first she put her paws over her face to cover her eyes, as she felt embarrassed and ashamed that she was unable to look after herself independently and had needed so much help [color=00a99d]"Sor..sorry mister, and AND thank you for helping me, but sorry for being a bad princess and needing help"[/color]. Her insecurities flared up as she began to feel worthless and useless for not being able to look after herself, and she started shaking her head [color=00a99d]"I'm ok now! I promise! I wanna go back to my castle you found me in, I will do better now!"[/color] she pleaded, trying to regain her sense of independence to fight her own insecurities. [color=00a99d]"and... sorry for getting sad and... being 'cry cry', I know I should not 'cry cry', daddy said it weak to 'cry cry' and I promise I am a very strong girl, like my daddy wanted"[/color].

She looked out to one of the windows and gulped looking at the bad weather and shuddered a little, with an expression of despair in her eyes, dreading to face nature again. She thought to herself (([color=00a99d]Be like daddy, no weak, you strong princess like daddy said[/color])). She was not aware of it, but a single tear ran down her face as she felt a bit of emotional pain from missing him still so dearly. She then smelt the air and felt even more sad, as she could smell something nice that they surely would be eating without her, but despite how it made her feel she kept smelling the air finding the smell comforting. She soon forced herself to stop sniffing the air knowing she'd find the food too irresistible to ignore if either the smell got stronger or she kept sniffing it. Still her stomach lightly growled, it had been a very long time since she had actually ate something nice, as her body subtly showed... she was not starving or malnourished as she has learnt to live from foraging, but she was still underweight, although it was hard to tell under her unkempt fur.

She decided she was going to try and somewhat purposefully struggle in his arms to let him know to put her down, but no matter how much she thought about it she simply could not bring herself to do it yet, this was the first time she had felt genuine affection for over a year, and although staying in his loving arms flared up her feelings of insecurity, she needed this more than she would admit or realize. Her eyes teared up a little as she scootered even closer to him and very very faintly smiled. [color=00a99d]((No more cry cry, no cry cry, no cry cry))[/color] she kept thinking to herself as she closed her eyes struggling to stop herself from crying again. But with her eyes closed all she could sense was Lucario's loving embrace as well as all the others speaking as if they were family, and as she kept repeating the phrase 'no cry cry' in her head over and over she still ended up silently sobbing anyway. She felt so alone, so helpless, and so unworthy. She wanted her parents, she wanted to tell off the 'evil' humans that took them away, she wanted to go a single day without these painful feelings haunting her. But she was simply only a young eevee, she could not handle the pressure she misguidedly places upon herself, nor the guilt she wrongly feels for 'leaving' her parents.
