[h3][color=FF69B4]Piper the Skitty[/color][/h3][b][Altepa Desert][/b] [@Ninian] Nodding happily at Alodi's words, Piper exclaimed. [color=FF69B4]"Ooo, sure thing! That would be amazing!"[/color] Hearing his question, she gave another small nod and mimicked his gesture, putting a paw to her chin in thought. [color=FF69B4]"Hm... I can't think of anything either... Maybe we'll get inspired when we get there!"[/color] She looked up at him and smiled brightly. As Piper heard his tone change at the topic of the sandstorm, her smile softened, almost fading completely as she was filled with worry. Perhaps the question had upset her new friend. Listening silently, she waited for him to finish before giving a curt nod, glancing up at him so that their eyes would briefly meet. [color=FF69B4]"Oh... I... I see..."[/color] She lowered her voice, the touchy subject sending chills down her spine. [color=FF69B4]"A-Actually... I am quite aware of the whole... frenzy thing... I-I wasn't exactly feral back then b-but... I could feel the agitation... The other few Pokemon taking shelter with me in the cave kind of felt it too... a-and..."[/color] Gulping painfully, she shook her head. [color=FF69B4]"A-Anyway... at least you made it out okay..."[/color] A little smile grew on her face as she looked to the Delphox. [color=FF69B4]"T-This time it'll be different though... I think we'll be able to handle this together... so it's okay... right?"[/color]
