[There's a small cat-like pokemon wandering about the campus. She seems rather thin and smaller than a normal Espeon, and she seems rather lost in a way -- almost distracted. The air around her is rather thick, dense with what drives her to wander, but she still remains lost in a sense.

Perhaps it's best to come in closer and offer her some treats or something? Who knows, she might like it or she might not. There's only one way to find out for sure.]

[[Hello! :) I would appreciate the tags if you all could spare them. She's a brand new concept that I'm trying to test out with a very different twist of most psychic types.]]

[What a pathetic-looking runt of an Eeveelution. Blacky's just caught sight of her and already she has decided she seems worth following. Besides, she's bored and hungry; if the Espeon is afraid of a little ghost, she gets a free meal, and if she sticks around to chat instead she'll kill some time. Win-win either way.

She hovers just behind the stranger, trailing her and about five seconds away from nipping one of those split tail ends.]

[Even she would admit that she were rather pathetic. She was one to never really gain weight throughout her years, especially during her time with her trainer.

Alas, she does sense something, and it makes her slow in her step. She might be distracted, but there is a presence... a different one at that. The hairs along her back raise and her tail whips dangerously behind her. Blacky, you had better be cautious in what you do, for she's far too old to deal with these ghostly shenanigans.]

[The tail has become a moving target, and while it's still tempting, Blacky is far too lazy to bother with that when she can just lunge forward and nip at one of those big old ears instead. Surprise.]

[That nip was what set her off. She turned quickly to see the being responsible, hairs still raised as ever and ears turned back.

Why. She hissed, with no intent of that being a question. She was not in the mood to be messed with at the moment.]

[Connor was about his business when he saw the small cat. Then suddenly, his attention was fully on the cat.

It wasn't a normal cat, sure, but one look suggested she was hungry. Lost, tired, and hungry; perhaps.

He didn't know what she usually ate, or if she had a meal recently, but he had on him but a few pieces of procured, cooked fish from earlier. It was what he had on him, probably was about to be used to bait more game in the wilderness.

But now it was gonna attempt to be catfood.

He made himself known to the cat, holding out the fish he got from a satchel on his person. He knelt down, beckoning her to come closer.]

[Connor's hunches were in fact correct in this statement. While the Espeon had tempered herself to fast in her travels, there came a time and a place when she did desire a meal to revitalize her strength. Her steps slowed as he approached, looking from the fish to him. It was unfortunate, how often trainers had attempted to bribe her for food just to attempt to capture her.

This man, however... was different.

She could sense something in him in which his offer of his meal was a genuine sort. Cautiously, she kept her ears lowered but moved forward, treading slow and cautious steps. She would stop about a foot or two from him, curious of his next move since she would not beckon much further than where she stood.]

[Connor respected the personal space of any creature. So he kept his distance, only reaching forward to place the fish down for her to eat, only to then go back to the distance he was previously. Kindly, he spoke to her.]

Go on, eat.

[On the back of his mind, he wondered if she was neglected in some way. Did she have a human companion? Was she a Pokemon, perhaps? Did she have a family?]

[There was only a hair more of hesitation, looking from the fish to Connor, then back again. As silent as ever, she lowered her head and began eating. It was nice, she hadn't eaten such fresh meat in quite some time. It was pathetic of her, but at times she's had to scrounge about for scraps.

It was something she really hoped to never do again, at least for as long as she could. Her tail swished gently, and after a bit and after she had gotten her fill, she lifted her head back up. She had taken a decent sized bite out of the fish, but a lot of it still remained.

At least she gave her thanks in a soft purr-like sound. She wasn't going to be rude.]

[He didn't expect, nor need for her to be grateful. He really felt better that such a hungry looking cat was fed well. Cats were independent creatures, Connor was willing to bet it wouldn't be wise to bother her much more unless if she needed him for anything else.

Again, he felt better that it seemed to please her when he gave her something to eat.

Like many creatures here, he assumed maybe she understood him in some way; if not understand directly what he was saying.]

Better? The fish is yours, feel free to take all of it.

[Awww. It's been way, way too long since Sonny got to spend time with an Espeon. His sister is one, you know.]

Hi! Do you want to share some pie?

[He has a pie with him. Of course he does. Why wouldn't he have a pie with him? Here, skinny Espeon. Eat well of it's flaky crust and apple interior should you be so inclined.]

[Another one so kind to share their food. Now, she was rather surprised at the kindness, but considering that this one happened to be another pokemon surprised her. A few instances in her past she had seen Pokemon taking human 'guises to walk among humans without the fear of someone attempting to hurl a pokeball at them. It was something she had considered, alas.

Nodding all too briefly, she approached, dining mostly on the flaky crust. She wasn't too fond of sweeter fruits, but a meal was a meal. She seemed to release a purr in thanks, still feeling a hair untrusting of him. It wasn't his fault, it's been a difficult few years for her.]

[Sonny just waited for her to finish whatever parts she wanted before he started to eat the rest.]

So, what are you doing here, Espeon? Are you thinking of going to the school?

[He's happy to just chatter away to her, whether she's listening or intending to respond or not.]

It's a nice place, here! There's lots of sunny spots to nap in and plenty of fun things to do. My sister is an Espeon and she used to like it here when she attended. There's woods in the back and the Ursaring in the Cafeteria is called Nancy and he's really nice. He's the one who gave me this pie!

[Another pokemon gave him the pie... Well, that helped her swallow down the bites that she was chewing, she listened carefully to his words and let it all sink in. Her mind was already busy enough, but with that and the combination of the food and his voice buzzing around, her reply came muddled -- almost vague.

Wandering. Maybe join. School. ... Where are we... exactly?

She was always one of little word, even with her own fellow (ex)teammates.]

We are exactly in Final Destination City. It's a really cool place with lots of fun people and places.

[He was totally used to being spoken to this way. Euphie was kind of the same.]

Even if you're wandering, you could stay here for a little while. Get some good food into you and rest up!

[In his estimation she could stand to gain a few pounds. Hey, he knew the life of a wanderer was tough and uncomfortable. He'd grown up wild. If he could share a little kindness with her, even if only a day's worth, it might make her journey that much easier.]
