"Want to try?"

She nods.

"Need to strategize a bit first, figure out what moves you've got. Unless you want to go in alone?"

move-slow-and-steady

She shakes her head.

far-and-wide

"All right."

Ellie finds a list of commonly-known umbreon moves and begins reading them off.

move-slow-and-steady

She has most of them, apparently.

far-and-wide

Cool; so she can be up next and Ellie will do her best to direct her.

move-slow-and-steady

She's actually better than Intrepid at listening for directions, though her and Ellie's unfamiliarity with each other balances that in the opposite direction.

Still, she's having fun.

far-and-wide

That's important as a starting point! The rest will come with practice, if she wants to keep this up.

move-slow-and-steady

Yeah. She seems to.

They can do a couple more today before dinner, then.

move-slow-and-steady

Heeee.

Then: dinner! ...Probably still eaten as a picnic or in the hostel room.

far-and-wide

Yeah, it'd be nice to be able to have some conversation with it.

move-slow-and-steady

Yeah.

Once they're settled down: "That was fun."

far-and-wide

"It was. Seems like you've got some experience."

move-slow-and-steady

"A little!"

Then, pausing, and continuing sadly: "I used to have a human, a - while ago."

far-and-wide

"Mm." Gentle pat?

move-slow-and-steady

Nuzzle.

not-that-complicated

Cuddle.

far-and-wide

"D'you want to talk about them?"

move-slow-and-steady

She hesitates, then shakes her head. "Not now."

far-and-wide

Pats. "Okay."

move-slow-and-steady

She snuggles into Ellie's side.

far-and-wide

"Think you might want to do more of it? The battling."
