I'M A FREEEEEE BIIIIRRRRD YEAH!!

[smeargle]

[My goodness, what an entirely odd situation. There looks to be a girl with... rather canine additions approaching the gates, wagging her oddly long tail as she walked.

... Wait is the end of that said tail a freaking paintbrush? UH YEAH, yeah it totally is! Why, this isn't a girl at all! I mean it is but you know what I mean It's a pokemon with a horribly poor disguise of a pokemon!

And what's this?? She appears to be...

...

Singing?

Actually that sounds incredibly familiar, almost as if two vehicles could be flying across a cliff to this soundtrack.

Nah. That's just silly.

But she is singing and she is rather elated looking to be standing on this property again. Yehaw. She's completely friendly and despite the fact that she's kinda wearing a spiked collar, she's just shy of five foot and actually uh... she looks about as intimidating as a marshmallow with a toothpick sticking out of it. Oh well.]

[bunnyfears]

That's what you said last time.

[He stares at her for a few seconds, before relenting, closing his eyes again and waiting to be smacked.]

[smeargle]

But this is different.

[As gently as she can, she reaches a hand forward until her fingers touch his forehead, pressing them gently to it.]

Just keep on breathing normally and calmly, alright? Mom used to do this when I was younger.

[bunnyfears]

Uh-huh...

[He does what she says, twitching a little when she touches him but then leaning against her hand a bit as he keeps his eyes closed, just focusing on his breathing.]

[smeargle]

[Without another word, she reaches her other hand to join the one that was on his forehead. Closing her own eyes, she started to hum a little tune. Her tail twitched idly as she did so, making a soft thud on the ground as it did so.]

[bunnyfears]

[After a little bit of that, Yarne pops one of his eyes open. He's... not really sure what she's trying to accomplish by singing, but at least it's a pleasant tune? He's certainly not going to interrupt her, though, and at least he seems to be a lot calmer than he was a minute ago.]

[smeargle]

[Smee herself didn't open her eyes until she was finished with that final tune, taking another breath, her eyes fluttered open... to see him... looking confused?]

... Did it not help?

[bunnyfears]

I... feel a lot calmer, actually. Not because of the song really, but... still!

[Yarne chuckles awkwardly, smiling a bit, and taking another deep breath when he starts to worry he's offended her by not being calmed by the song.]

[smeargle]

[The grin returns! She's not really the smartest dog sometimes and didn't catch on to the awkward laugh. Her hands lower, clasping together on her lap.]

But you feel calmer! That's good! Breathing really helps in times like this, just forgetting for a bit why I was freaked out. So I'm glad it helped!

[bunnyfears]

I'll try and keep that in mind next time... You know, assuming I'm not in any kind of actual danger or anything! Closing my eyes and taking a moment to breathe probably wouldn't be very helpful if something's trying to kill me!

[He seems to be making a joke rather than actually worrying about that this time, his stance relaxing and his legs stretching away from him a bit so he's not just all curled up.]

[smeargle]

[Giggle giggle. She's happy this went back to a more relaxed thing now. It's great and that's all she wants is carefree conversation without any anxiety or fear or anything like that! In a gentle voice, she responds by sticking her tongue out.]

Duh! After the danger, of course. But for now, we can just sit here and relax on this beautiful day. Nothin' to it!

[bunnyfears]

Right, right...

[Yarne sits back and starts to try to relax. Just kinda, sitting there and looking around every couple of seconds. His ears twitching a bit when he hears a bird or something. He's clearly starting to get a bit antsy.]

So, uh. How do people relax in non-apocalyptic worlds anyway? I'm not too clear on that yet.

[smeargle]

Weeeeeeelll.....

[She drummed her fingers on her lap, drum drum drum...]

Lots of things! Walking, reading, talking, drawing, watching movies and tv, running, swimming, hiking, eating... um... singing, playing video games, playing REGULAR games, and so on and so on! There's lots of stuff to do to preoccupy your time!

[bunnyfears]

Okay. That's a lot of options... So, which of those would you recommend doing right now...?

[smeargle]

Depends on what you want to do? I'm open to doing anything!

[This smells like a date.]

[bunnyfears]

Well, unless you happen to have some carrots with you, I guess I'm up for pretty much anything!

If you do have carrots though I'd like to eat them.

[smeargle]

Well I'm mainly carnivorous, so that'd be a no.

[her ears perk, and she quickly looks in the satchel at her side. RIGHT THAT'S RIGHT.]

But I do have berries! Do you want some?

[bunnyfears]

Taguel aren't really too big on meat from what I've heard... I know I'm not, at the very least.

[He gives a sniff to the berries, grabbing a few and inspecting them.]

They smell okay, but... There aren't any cases of them being like, poisonous to other species, are there...? Going extinct because I wasn't careful about what I ate would be a pretty stupid way to go.

[smeargle]

Understood, it's alright for that. I've had vegetarian friends before and it's not that hard to accommodate.

[Tilting her head, she pops an oran berry in her mouth, chewing and speaking like the rude girl she is.]

Well, every Pokemon I've run into loves oran berries, and I know I've seen humans eat them before. It shouldn't be bad for Taguel's either. [nomnomnom]

[bunnyfears]

Well I'm not completely vegetarian. Just mostly!

[After watching her eat them, he starts to eat a few as well, smiling a bit.]

Mmm... Not too bad! I just kind of have to be careful sometimes... Not all human food mixes well with Taguel. I remember I tried eating potatoes once, and, well... Ugh, nevermind. I'd rather not talk about it while we're eating!

[smeargle]

Close enough I say!

[Chew chew.]

... Oh yeah, yuck I understand. No need to get into details indeed, but... sometimes it just might be your personal self. Kinda like how some humans can stomach dairy but others can't to certain degrees?

... I will remember not to give you french fries though.

[bunnyfears]

I dunno. I'd have to ask my mom about it, but... I've got no idea where she even is in this time.

[He sighs a bit, distracting himself by eating some more berries.]

[smeargle]

[Nodnod! And she swallowed the berries.]

Mmm, maybe she'll appear at some point! Everyone else seems to have at some point or another.

[bunnyfears]

Yeah, maybe... I guess I'll just have to... try and stay positive about finding her, huh?

[He gives her a little smile, finishing off his berries.]

[smeargle]

That's exactly the route to take! You'll find her, I'm positive about that!

[bunnyfears]

I'll just have to keep an eye out for her!

[And then they banged, the end.]
