[continued from here]

we live by a big ocean, with lots of huge icebergs and gigantic pokemon making big splashes! my sibling tells me there's a lot of underwater caves with really pretty ice formations too, but i'm not used to swimming in freezing water like they are so i haven't seen them myself. our forests are mostly pine trees, which aren't great for climbing but they don't block out the sky which is prettiest at night, especially when there's an aurora!

ah, um, but, i hope you can go back home and see your family sometime. your home sounds just as nice as mine! if you want, i can stay until your friend comes back, if you'd like someone to talk to. i don't mind sitting in the rain at all!

[the flaaffy growls low in its throat as bear picks their spear back up, but doesn't get any closer. perhaps not looking for a fight, it retreats back into the bushes, leaving bear and the leafeon alone.]

ahh... p-please don't eat me!

[bear hesitates.]

i... won't.

oh, thank you, thank you! i owe you my life! well, not that i'm offering myself up, but i owe you! uh... what should i call you?

...bear.

bear! okay, and you can call me snowpea. i'll, um, see you around, i guess?

[bear taps on the flareon's shoulder to get her attention before signing to her.]

"prancer? are you looking for something?"

huh? oh, well, kinda. this might be a weird question, but have you ever seen a leafeon who looks like me?

"like... you?"

ahh, don't worry about it. it's just, i feel like i've seen this one leafeon before... it might just be my imagination, though. come on, let's go get some hot chocolate!

you are... familiar.
