"NOT a village," replies Leila. "Four humans and five pokemon. Besides, my history hasn't been all roses and sunshine. Back when humans were in power, I was mistreated quite badly too. Have you ever heard of the Shadow Pokemon project? I'll save the story for after dinner, since that's what I said earlier, but I won't tell it until we've eaten." She gets up and follows Jon, placing her wing on his shoulder. "Cheer up, Jon! Everyone finds love some day. But I can't fall in love with you because I'd outlive you by hundreds of thousands of years... And I don't want to get into that sort of thing." And with that, she stands aside, one wing on Jon's shoulder, the other open and inviting Sai over to join her, the thumb clearly visible.<br/><br/>"I-it's Ed," replies the tiny pokemon, forcing out the words and feeling insignificantly small.<br/><br/>Clyde follows her obediently.<br/><br/>Kate grins, handing him a towel. "Sure are!" she exclaims playfully.
