Tama had, to be precise, chiseling away at the metal spike, ears pinned nearly flat to his head. Verai had not asked him to do such a thing- He had asked Tama to return to his side, and the cat was ardently refusing. "Tama..." He tried again, and the meowth only hunkered more, fur raising almost defensively. He did not want to go over there. Verai just sighed, not mad at Tama, but mad at the situation- and sat on the grass. The sky had gone darker, now, and seemed to coil and shift as Verai stared up at him. Maybe it would rain, soon. ENTERING THE TALL GRASS! When a Wild PKMN appears, reply using the ~~ATTACK~~ button to weaken it! But watch out— it might fight back! If your PKMN faints, you must go to the closest SHRINE to restore your PKMN. When the Wild PKMN's HP reaches 10% or below, up to 2 players may spend 25 BYTES to catch it here. You may also simply ~~retreat~~ to end the encounter. Retreating succeeds automatically.

Verai said nothing to that, directly, just watching the meowth come to his words. <I had to do something.> His words were quiet, not sharp or barbed. Just clear, matter-of-fact. Verai nodded, thinking about his response. "I'm grateful you wanted to protect me," He started, voice measured. "But there are other ways to address it. The foal... seemed young. You can speak to one another- perhaps they could have been reasoned with."

Well... whatever. He'd figure out what to do with them later. "Look," He said, gesturing towards the blitzle- and Tama's hackles instantly raised. "Tama, be calm. They're just looking at us. What are they doing that's threatening?" The blitzle stood there, occasionally grazing, but mostly just looking curiously in their direction. "Do you think you can try just... talking to them? I'll be right here." Tama's ears pinned, but he gently sidled over to the blitzle.

The blitzle did not speak. Tama did not speak. He finally huffed, twisting back to look at Verai. True to his word, Verai slowly approached, careful to not startle the blitzle. He kept his gaze on Tama, who seemed to be trying to flatten into the ground. <.... hi.> He finally got out. The blitzle's eyes lit up. <Hi there!>

Tama did hiss a bit at that, ears pinned, the blitzle taking a wary step backwards. But he huffed out some breaths, and look at the blitzle again. <... sorry. I'm... not used to making friends.> <It's okay! We all have to start somewhere.> Tama grumbled. This was mortifying.

"Do you live around here?" Verai asked, and the blitzle hopped a bit. <Yeah! I have a little nest over that hill there!> They said, and wiggled a bit. <Do you two live around here?> Verai shook his head. "No- Tama lives with me, and I live somewhere far away from here." The blitzle looked mystified. <Far away... even farther than the fog?> Verai gave a bit of a laugh. "Much farther than the fog." Tama still didn't look very happy.

Verai glanced at him, gave the blitzle a little nod, and moved to the side with Tama. <I.... I'm not having fun right now.> "Okay," Verai said, sitting in the grass again, to not just leer over the meowth. "Do you want to talk about it?" Tama still looked unhappy, whiskers crinkled, ears flat. <... he isn't going to be my friend.> "Did he tell you that." <No.> "So why are you saying it?" <... I just know.> Verai shook his head. "You don't get to put words in someone else's mouth, Tama. When dealing with someone, you have to take them at their word." It was scarier at first, but more freeing that way.

Tama's eyes went wide, back arching with fear. <No!> He twisted, running off into the steppe. Verai watched him, turning only when the blitzle let out a mournful noise. <Did I-? I'm sorry.> "It's okay," Verai soothed. "I'll talk to him."

"Hey," He coaxed, and TAma looked at him, eyes wild- and scared. "It's okay." <It isn't!> "It's okay." Verai reached up, grabbing hold of the little kitten- who snarled and hissed, even as Verai drew him to his chest, tucking him close. Tama struggled, very clearly wanting out, but not wanting to hurt Verai, and soon enough he was cocooned in Verai's arms, face pressed into the man's heartbeat, and his wails of despair slowed and quieted. <I'm scared.> "I know. That's okay too."
