"I think she'll like that a lot, yeah."

"Cool. About ready to head back, then?"

She nods with a smile. 

Then a quick stop to pick up food, and back to the room.

Umbreon actually comes near the door of the room to greet them this time! She's sniffing the air eagerly.

"Hey. Have a nice afternoon?"

Small chirp.

"Great. We brought dinner, as I think you've surmised."

Big doe eyes!

"I guess you're hungry, huh?"

She starts setting dinner out.

She is quite hungry it turns out! And appreciative of the food.

Ellie keeps up a mostly one-sided conversation about what they did at the gym today, pausing to translate any comments Intrepid has.

She listens with clear interest and some longing.

Maybe she could come to watch the race.

Intrepid doesn't think there'll be too much of a crowd, too, so Umbreon could sit away from other spectators.

She hums and nods, a bit slowly.

It'd be a nice group activity.

Grin.

Speaking of which, would Umbreon like to take a walk later tonight, once most people have gone home?

Yeah!

Intrepid laughs and headbutts Umbreon.

And, on their walk - she spots a sign for a library.

"Hey, I bet she's bored with just magazines actually - wonder if she'd like staying at the library some of the day?"

Ellie asks. "We can drop you off tomorrow morning, if you like."

Extremely excited trill! She nods.

"Can do."
