[quote=He Learned More Than "Nil"-s From This]"It was. Thanks for indulging me," he said. He then glanced at the tuckered out buneary. The expression on Sir Lopsalot's face was hilariously cute. Poor pokemon, hopefully his pride wasn't wounded too badly. "You're a mighty little buneary. We couldn't have asked for a better sparring partner, right?" [/quote]

Sir Lopsalot just turned his head away a little bit more in response, arms crossing a bit tighter....and then suddenly Clarissa's right index finger lightly poked his cheek. The Buneary almost seemed to mumble a bit, before another light poke caused him to react by batting a little back at Clarissa's right hand with his two paws now. But it did at least get him to look forward again and stop crossing his arms, much to the intent of Clarissa herself in this case, before a sudden redirection of her fingers to scritching the Buneary's favoirite ear caught him off-guard and unawares! Enough so, at least, that after a few seconds the Buneary's mood seemed to be a little better than before now. 

He would glance at Nils for a moment before speaking more loudly this time, at least after a small sigh on his part. 

"...Bun. Bun bun."

...Was that some kind of 'thank you for the battle' or such? Either way, Clarissa seemed pleased enough with the result as she turned her attention back to Nils and co. 

[quote=He Got More Than "Nil"-s From The Buneary Too, Lol]"We should probably get these guys healed up,"[/quote]

[color=violet]"Indeed, and there's a Pokemon Center nearby as well I believe. Then perhaps we-"[/color]

Before Clarissa could finish, Amelia approached and, despite being redder than a tomato, began to talk as well. Talk about the battle in particular, it seemed, in this instance. 

[quote=The Smol]"It... it was a good battle. I... I think it was... a bit in Tors' favor though. Tors is studier and only got more sturdy as the battle went on. Sir Lopsalot would need to move more unpredictably to make use of it's better speed. But Tors had a move that had a type-advantage against Sir Lopsalot while Sir Lopsalot didn't have one for Tors... S-sorry." She said, mumbling the apology while looking at the ground, her face growing steadily redder.[/quote]

Without a thought, Clarissa reached out a hand and ruffled the top of the smaller child's head, a thing that felt as familiar to do as she could remember a hand doing the same to her little head years ago. It was such a strange reflex, however, that the psychic paused for an actual moment in a bit of personal surprise, before visibly more awkwardly pulling her hand and arm back to her own side again. Ahem. Something about this girl made her want to....well, she supposed be a bit extra nice to her. Not that she'd done anything wrong, she was just sharing her thoughts on the battle was all. Still, the familiar note she felt from her was still, as it had been since seeing her first in the building, present and accounted for. Hmm. 

[color=violet]"S-Sorry. Ahem. 

But there's nothing to be sorry about on your end. You made a thought out and astute observation there, Amelia, and one that happened to be along the same lines as my own post-battle thoughts on the matter as well. Tors was a most defensive opponent, and we lacked move coverage to best counteract the defensive advantage. It was one reason I went with trying to get our attack up higher, enough to try to get the lead, and by leveraging our speed as soon as we could start."[/color]

Indeed, Amelia had voiced her own thoughts well enough by happenstance there. But while a loss did...well...sting a bit at the start, though, it was otherwise almost a relief to get the 'first loss' out of the way so early. They would have to work hard at this, yeah? Sir Lopsalot wasn't a stranger to such a thing, she felt, but he did have a bit of pride in his little body there. He had enjoyed the battle well enough as well, though, to her eyes. Buuut he did have the power of sulking on his side when he got worked up enough over something, fun or otherwise. Just had to calm down a bit was all, even if it meant the brief fury of tiny paws being evoked on her part to get him caught off-guard in a good way. 

Still, in the end Clarissa looked between Nils and Amelia, motioning with her free hand for them to come with her to the Pokemon Center if they like as she turned a bit to do so as well. 

[color=violet]"By the way, I know I mentioned investigating the sewers back there. It's a very [i]strange[/i] request, but, well, my gut instinct feels that something peculiar is down there that's worth finding. But I....a-also wish to travel in a group overall if I can."[/color]

She'd speak as they all walked along, if the other two did so, or talk to them if they ended up staying put where they were. Either way, the nerves of asking and attempting an explanation were getting to her a little. Just a little, but enough to breifly pop out as she began to speak there for a second at least. Yet, in the end, practiced thoughts and a little breathing seemed to get her back into her 'normal' once more all over again. 

[color=violet]"If either of you are amenable to come along, I'd appreciate it. There's safety in number as well, after all. But....if you do not wish to come along, I am more than amenable myself to meeting back up later after my investigation and such down there. Perhaps, say, at this Pokemon Center once more in a few hours? I do not wish to force my, ah, desires upon you both unwillingly in any case."[/color]
