She's willing to get about four inches from Ellie's hand while waiting for curry to be set in reach, apparently.

Intrepid is prancing.

Friendship is getting closer to happening. She puts the bowl down and retreats to eat her own.

Enthusiastic noms!

The food is pretty good.

She got Umbreon a different flavor than for herself, and when the other eevee starts slowing down, she makes a few curious noises in Umbreon's direction and mimes sharing some.

...Hm.

Okay, yeah.

(Renewed enthusiastic noms!)

Umbreon's getting clearly sleepy by the time she finishes, probably from a mix of the long day and the large meal.

Ellie and Intrepid will try to be quiet for reading practice, then.

Probably doesn't hurt for Intrepid to try silent reading, too, she's been reading out loud so far.

Sure, that should help stretch her capabilities.

Gives her an excuse to reread the ones she's been moving past!

It does.

Intrepid does her best, though she ends up mouthing all the words, and very quietly whispering some, but - she successfully avoids preventing Umbreon from falling asleep in her nest.

Probably. The other eevee isn't exactly visible under all those blankets.

Call that a win for tonight, still.

Happy nuzzle.

"I like her. I'm glad she's relaxing some..."

"Yeah," Ellie projects. "I hope she gets keeps getting more comfortable around us."

"I think as long as we just keep being friendly..."

Snuggles.

"Yeah."

Nuzzle. "It's getting to be our bedtime now, though."

"Good night, then."

Sleepy snuggles!

And a good night's sleep for tomorrow morning!

Intrepid gets up well before Ellie, softly wriggling out of her grasp, stopping to check if she's still sleeping after Intrepid jumps to the floor.

Sleepy mumble.

Her human's so cute. Intrepid gently tugs the blankets back around Ellie's shoulders, settling them, and waits for Ellie to drift back to sleep before going to dig out some food (prehensile tendrils are so great) and then nose Umbreon's nest.

...Curious nose?
