‘A childhood memory’

Eryn came padding over when Lexi called to her, leaving the eggs for Brad to watch over. “Yes? I don’t want to leave the eggs for very long. They’re close to hatching.”

“Saved a question for you.” Lexi said, smiling down at the lioness. “Figured you would be the better one for this.”

“A childhood memory?” Eryn question, looking over at the anon. “Oh, well…I do remember one thing vividly. This was before I met Ithilwen, when I lived in my Pride. I had three brothers, and two sisters to play with. I remember our oldest brother liked to play prankster, and I often fell victim to them.” She laughed softly to herself, eyes lost in the memory. “My own fault for being so curious. Anyways, one time he pretended to be a Seviper hiding in the long grass, making these hissing noises and slinking around like one. Fooled me good, especially when he had me tense enough and leaped out of the grass. I swear I jumped three feet into the air, he scared me so bad. It was all fun and games, though. No hard feelings. At least, after I had singed the tip of his tail.”

“Hey, so that’s why my pranks never worked on you!” Lexi complained, landing and pouting at Eryn.

‘An eye-opening memory’

Lexi cackles, swooping down to sit next to Calem, who glared at her. It didn’t have much heat, however. “I think Calem just had an ‘eye-opening’ memory. Dense dog.”

Calem let out a growl and swiped at Lexi, but only caught air as the Flygon nimbly leaped away. “Be quiet, desert sprite!”

Twirling in the air, Lexi sent a smirk down towards her canine friend. “Anyways, that plot point aside, I have an eye-opening memory. Remember, Calem, that time I went all rebellious and went off on my own? That huge fight we all had the night I left. I had met an old Hippowdon about six months after that and we talked for quite a while. Some of the things he said stuck with me, and then I reflected back on that memory…and realized I may have been wrong in that fight. So I came back. Quite eye opening, if I do say so myself.”

Calem frowned, ears drooping in the memory of such a sour night. “That wasn’t a good time for the team.”

“A friend/best friend memory”

Calem: “Well…I never had friends in my life before this team, so all my memories with friends are limited to my teammates. But the first one that comes to mind is the night Bradley hatched. Eryn was the one who found his egg all alone, so she was the one taking care of him. She’s basically his mother. Anyways, we were all there when he hatched and it was…amazing? A strange feeling. Especially seeing Eryn so overjoyed…”

Lexi: *butting in* “Cal, I don’t think amazement at Brad’s hatching is what you were feeling.”
