Mark suppressed a growl of his own, were they willfully interpreting every attempt he made to help in the most negative way possible? a pokemon in that state would be left to a ranger to appease or a trainer to catch, a human in that state would be under a dogpile of police officers at this very moment, compared to that a literally harmless paralysis attack, that was unavoidable yet avoided, was easily the second most harmless thing one could do short of blowing her a kiss... Besides, Firis already hates him, ever since his attempt to save her life in the digital world got shot down harder than a flying type in a blizzard. though he was growing increasingly convinced this entire group had decided to label him as something between useless and a liability.<br/>"You know what? you're right, i promise to never try helping again, happy now?!" He instead went to observe the way Firis was eyeing their new girl, trying to force toni into a kiss, well, if Toni could handle the heat it may at least calm firis down, though by this point he wasn't sure if he should even care anymore.<br/><br/>Toni meanwhile had continued to fret over Rose in her state... it made sense though Firis and Rose never got along in the first place, no wonder she outright attacked the girl. when she felt it getting warmer behind her though she froze, Firis had completely gone around the other hybrids and had her sights on herself, oh no, had she heard Toni... had she been offended? was she going to get the flaming stick now? _she felt her face being grabbed and guided towards Firis' own... wait a second was she really going to? the girl ceased resistance now, her brain in a strange state of being shut down and running through miles in seconds at the same time, Firis was kissing her, and the way she herself looked so flushed she either felt the same or close enough to the same to not care at the moment, she tentatively reacher an arm up, gently caressing the hybrid's face, she wanted the girl to know of her agreement.
