Naomi groaned as she straightened up from setting the tent frame, waving a hand at Somnificent and 'Tai as the drowzee finished up under the dragonair's supervision. She flopped down next to Eleyna. Reaching forward, she started pulling off her shoes, stretching and wiggling her toes with another soft groan. "I swear, we have got to... take our travels more slowly. Mmm. I know it was my idea to go climbing this pile of rocks, but I shoulda looked first. Thinking about it? Yeah. Yeah, they did. Made pacts or agreements or something, I bet. That's probably why that... that spirit warned us. When Borealis was... when that happened, that probably broke something. Disrupted the balance, it said. And the only reason it did warn us was because the village at least tried to live by the old ways of another region, something the pokemon here recognized."<br/><br/>"Bet things changed over time, when humans figured out apricorns, and then the first pokeballs. It just became easier to, to fight things into submission rather than make agreements. But the pokemon here, they, they're more, primal. Innocent in some ways. I'm remembering that Pansage who found Aisha's boobs so interesting he decided to come along with her rather than stay with his tribe. That's one pokemon who came with us voluntarily. And now your Ryhorn."<br/><br/>With both shoes off now, she looked around and listened. No insects, no boys, just Eleyna and their pokemon. She started pulling off her shirt, revealing the plain and practical activewear bra she had on. "God, I'm so sweaty and grimy, we both are. I could set up the field shower I've got. If you can get Ryhorn to dig a small pit and get Tentaperv to fill it with water, we could have a shower. Now AND in the morning."<br/><br/>Using her shirt as a makeshift towel, she rubbed her face into it and then slung it over her shoulders. "Speaking of boobs and pervs, I wonder how many of these pokemon were drawn into pacts by a little cleavage and a bit of panty-teasing fan service? Or even, ah, more intimate encounters?"<br/><br/>She didn't even notice the covert attention 'Tai and Somnificent were giving her, stealing glimpses in between shuffling around the tent to make sure the pegs were set firmly.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
