[h3][hr][color=#F95B6C]Eryn Montero[/color][/h3][hr][sup][i]Frozen Cave || Night[/i][/sup][indent] [/indent] The Glaceon’s smug little hop toward one of the exits earned a small breath of laughter from Eryn. She wasn’t sure what it had said, but judging from the whirlwind of interpretive pantomime Kaz’s Pokémon broke into, there’d definitely been some kind of message exchanged. Not one she followed well, though. She tilted her head, watching the display unfold: Klefki doing its best impression of a clock, Gourgeist juggling Bullet Seeds like a street performer, Golduck rifling through Kaz’s bag with bold efficiency, and Heracross hollering an impression of… something very, very angry. [color=#F95B6C]“That was honestly impressive,”[/color] she said, glancing over at Kaz, who seemed confident of his ignorance of the entire thing. [color=#F95B6C]“I think they were halfway to staging an all-Pokémon musical.”[/color] They weren’t exactly the kind of Pokémon she’d pick out of a lineup for coordinated teamwork, but judging by how they bounced off each other, exaggerating their reactions and playing along without pause, it was obvious they’d been traveling together for a while. There was trust there, even if the showmanship was a bit much. [color=#F95B6C]“Let’s see,”[/color] she said, tapping her chin as she puzzled over what she’d just witnessed. [color=#F95B6C]“Klefki’s spinning keys were clearly a clock, though it spun for an extremely long time. Too long, almost. But something to do with time for sure,”[/color] she said before turning to the Gourgeist, Golduck, and their three seeds and Sitrus Berry. [color=#F95B6C]“Then three seeds and a Sitrus Berry. Three berries?”[/color] She paused, brows furrowed. [color=#F95B6C]“And that Heracross sound... yeah, I got nothing. Maybe indigestion?”[/color] Dei snorted beside her, loud enough to echo, and Eryn crossed her arms. [color=#F95B6C]“You give it a shot at translating, then, if you’re so smart.”[/color] Dei gave her a flat look, but didn’t rise to the bait. His attention flicked back to Kaz’s team again, sharp and assessing, as if still working out where they stood. Peri loomed quietly behind them, impassive as ever, though her eyes tracked the retreating Glaceon until it disappeared down the tunnel. Eryn had a feeling the Onix could sense something in the air—some lingering charge still crackling from all the attention. And Eri—Eri hadn’t budged an inch. Not when the Glaceon left. Not during the pantomime. Not now. He stood like a statue at her side, small and unmoving, gaze locked not on Kaz’s Pokémon anymore, but on the boy himself. Watching him with an intensity that made her chest tighten a little. Like the act of standing there was the only thing keeping him from unraveling. At Kaz’s offer, she followed his gesture up toward the icy ramp. Slippery, but manageable, especially considering Peri’s height and tunneling skills. One of the exits might’ve led back up too, though. Her eyes lingered on the branching tunnels a beat longer before turning back to him. [color=#F95B6C]“I think we’ve got it under control”[/color] she said, grinning. [color=#F95B6C]“We’ll probably head back to the campsite, considering how late it is. Are you headed there too, or?”[/color] [center] [/center][hr][hider=Actions][u][b][color=#F95B6C] Actions: [/color][/b][/u] Will ask Kaz his plans, if he’s not headed to the campsite, and attempt to get his contact info. In the event that he does not have any, or refuses to provide, she will tell him that he can probably ask the miners to reach out to her, as she will leave her info with them, and will reassure him that they are very kind. Then she’ll hightail it to the campsite/mining camp and call it a night.
