Mila took the offered cactus with a short noise of confusion, watching as Ajax bit into his portion before gingerly pulling off a sliver of the bright red flesh and putting it in her mouth.
Oh, I've had this before! I didn't realise it looked like this. She pulled off another, larger, piece, and made to pop it in her mouth as well when Lin stirred.
Mila? Whassat? Even his voice was slurred with sleep, eyes barely open.
"Food," Mila murmured in reply. "Ajax prepared it." She passed the piece to Lin instead, who bit into it instantly. "Make sure you finish it."
Mmm.. s'good. Thanks… Aja..x… He drifted back off to sleep again, mouth still half full. Mila shook her head at the inelegant display.
Still, it's better than the Quilava. Even in sleep, Lin displayed small spikes of emotion. Nemesis, however, may as well have been an expertly crafted automaton. It was unsettling, made worse by the knowledge that not being able to sense a pokemon's thoughts should have been normal. Barely a few hours, and this new ability seemed almost as natural as breathing.
It can wait until tomorrow. Just like… everything else. She quickly finished the rest of the fruit, before turning to look back at Ajax.
"I suppose we'll talk tomorrow. For now, though do you think keeping watch will be necessary?"
