[ti]spawn[/ti]Oh, Deer

"If I were a Deerling, where would I be?" Muin asks himself, only to realize he had spoken his thoughts out loud within about five seconds of raising the question. He stops on his tracks, he blinks while staring at a distant tree, and then he sighs.

"This is ridiculous."

Then again, it's not like there's anyone around to hear him, but you never know with this place. Gods forbid he were to run into someone like Cleo again (she probably wouldn't like that either, but it's not like Muin considers this)

Anyway, deer...

Perhaps there's more truth than what Muin had thought to the response he had given to his Rowlet. Alone. Even in a game like this, he prefer being alone, and as it turns out, most Pokémon also aren't an exception to this.

But, why?

There's no need for Percy to think too hard on the answer, he knows it well: interactions with most people always result stressful, and he has quickly learned that for some reason, interactions with talking Pokémon and NPC are the same. Would he enjoy himself even more if he were like most people, who can do such things with ease? Honestly... probably not.

These walks alone are nice as is.

"Hmm... Perhaps I am a lone wolf after all, actually."

Nothing wrong about that, is there?
