Umbre eagerly feasted on her meal, while Valeria idly picked at her salad. Motivated? The way he said that sent a shiver down her spine. She glanced over at the Umbreon, and Umbre quickly glanced away, an uncomfortable look crossing her face. "Did you hurt-" Valeria began, glaring at Adrian.<br/><br/>"Valeria!" Umbre shouted, louder than the wanted to. Her sister was walking on thin ice; she really needed to get Valeria used to her new life, but until then, she was going to have to try to protect her and keep her out of trouble. Unsure of how Adrian would react, she decided to quickly try and save face, stuttering out "I mean, this is Valeria, my sister. My name is Umbre. It's nice to meet you, Obdura." She flashed a quick smile before downing her entire drink in one go.<br/><br/>Valeria frowned, but decided to let it drop, casting her eyes down to her salad, still only half-eaten. She didn't need to eat much normally, her diet supplemented by her natural photosynthesis. "I'm getting used to it," she quietly replied to Adrian. "So, Obdura..." she began, changing the subject, not wanting to dwell on it. She could discuss things with Umbre when Adrian wasn't around. "Where are you from? I live... used to live, in the forest south of here. A beautiful place..." Anything to try and change the subject from trainers and training.
