Valerian blinked at her quietly. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. No one ever questioned him like that. Or if they did, they certainly didn’t do it while looking at the ground like they might be vaporized for the offense. [color=pink]“I… suppose that’s a fair point,”[/color] he said after a pause. [color=pink]“It is a little barbaric when you say it like that.”[/color] He looked down at the Pokéball in his hand. [color=pink]“But as I understand it, battling is a part of being a trainer. Some Pokémon won’t even speak to you unless you prove yourself. I wasn’t hurting her, I was challenging her. Testing compatibility so to speak.”[/color] He held the ball up slightly. [color=pink]“And I think she understood. She fought back, after all.”[/color]

When she asked if he was actually royalty, Valerian looked back over with an amused smile. [color=pink]“Well, I don’t expect anyone to bow or curtsy in my presence if that’s what you’re worried about.”[/color] He said with a chuckle. [color=pink]“It’s not like I’m going to have you thrown in a dungeon for being honest. I’m not that kind of prince.”[/color]

Her next words hit him hard. He looked visibly uncomfortable. [color=pink]“I… Yes. I did say that. About Aurelia Rose.”[/color] He rubbed the back of his neck. [color=pink]“Not one of my best moments… I’m not exactly comfortable with Bugs… I’m still not… But she’s… grown on me.”[/color]

Aurelia Rose buzzed proudly at his side, as if she’d known all along that he would come around.

Valerian tilted his head when she made her naming suggestion. [color=pink]“Hm… Yes… But I can’t just name her Lily. That would be too obvious. How about, Camellia? Not a lily, exactly. But it still fits the garden theme. And it’s elegant.”[/color] He paused. [color=pink]“Thank you,”[/color] he added, after a beat.
