"And ruin a perfectly good shirt? You don't have to go that far, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - but just this once."

She thinks she can hear the sounds of nearby Kricketot as they being their songs for the night, flickering in and out of earshot. But she's too busy looking at Lionel, debating something in her head; things like if she should say anything more, do anything more, because it feels like she should but she doesn't have any idea what. It's an odd situation, not wanting to say goodbye to someone she was genuinely having a good time with. She can't remember the last time she ever felt this way, and it made her want to cling onto this moment for as long as she can.

Lionel's hand over hers is large and warm. It's a little rough, but there's gentleness in his touch, and it feels much more like an embrace than anything else. It's as she finds herself looking up at him, still trying to decide what to say, that she realizes that she's stepped closer subconsciously, unknowingly closing the distance between them until she can feel the warmth emanating from his body.

She immediately draws her hand back and steps away, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and trying to downplay the rising flush on her cheeks by looking to Fembra dragging Reddy along over a rock. The Torchic has now completely fallen asleep and dozes with tiny snores, and so she stoops down to pick him up like a lil baby and turns back towards Lionel. Behind her, Fembra also makes to say her goodbyes to Samson, though it's with little waves of her arms and her tail swaying behind her excitedly, like she's going to see him again tomorrow.

"I'm glad, too. I hope so, it was... a lot of fun," She admits, sounding a little surprised at the notion. With one last look at Lionel, that same expression on her face like she wants to say something, ask something more, she gives him a small smile and turns to head back into the pokemon center. "Have a good night, Lionel."
