[On the left, there is a timid Yanma, quietly growling (to the best degree that a dragonfly can growl) and tensely, slowly inching forward, though never getting too far away from a safety blanket.

On the right, there is an Omanyte. ...Just sort of sitting there, blinking blearily at the Yanma like okay seriously what is your problem.

The Yanma inches toward the Omanyte, never once taking her eyes off it, getting closer, closer, closer... and then pokes out a front leg to touch it. As soon as this contact is made, however, she ZOOMS backward, scrambling back under her safety blanket.

...but only for a minute, because shortly afterward, she peeks out again and starts inching forward one more time.

This goes on for a little before commentary comes in from Ryner, who's holding the camera.]

Believe it or not, this is the most out-going I've ever seen Rey. ...Ahh, though, I guess maybe they have a couple things in common? Well, either way. She's finally making progress.

[...Well, Ryner wasn't expecting a pokemon to be this curious, but who is he to judge.]

Ah, you want to watch them?

*she cocks her head, almost questioningly, and says something--unfortunately it being in pokespeech means it's probably incomprehensible, but it's the thought that counts, right?*

[tearsofademon]

...I guess I'll take that as a yes...?

[Well, in any case, he focuses the camera on the pair's antics for a bit longer. Rey is inching out again...]

*....well, close enough, for now. Sometimes Queen thinks she really ought to learn how to pronounce a few human words...*

[tearsofademon]

[That could be a helpful thing.

The Omanyte, for her part, glances up at the camera questioningly, because it was one thing that Ryner was an audience to this, but now there's someone else too? Is it really that big a deal?]

Re: Video

[lightningbearer]

*well, since she now has the attention of someone who can understand her...*

She's always been so shy?

Video

[tearsofademon]

Apparently so. I only just met her today, so I wouldn't know.

Re: Video

[lightningbearer]

*there's a bit of a nod*

Ah, so I suppose you don't have any secret tricks to it.

Sometimes those quiet types are hard to figure out.

[have the Omanyte equivalent of a shrug.]

In my case, I think it's luck.

Re: Video

[lightningbearer]

*gives a sort of wry look*

Guess so.

Luck to end up revived, luck to end up with a human who'll give me food, luck to end up with some bug coming up and poking my shell... Didn't look for any of it, but here I am.

[The Yanma creeps closer... and closer... and then reaches out to tap the Omanyte's shell.]

...doesn't scratch...

[and then zoom back under the blanket]

Re: Video

[lightningbearer]

*Queen just watches that curiously*

Guess she likes your shell.

[tearsofademon]

...I guess so.

[Yeah, Shae is just confused...]
