Laguna's Love [Refresh]

"Nihilego. Does that name mean anything to you?" She'd idly glance up at the jellyfish Pokemon, who was seemingly lounging on a couch across from her.

Laguna had a habit of crawling into apartment buildings that had long been abandoned and making it a small home. A little hideout, away from the chaos of the city. A place where some of her smaller Pokémon could run around and play, without fear about danger swooping in out of nowhere.

Currently, she sat on a small couch, facing another one with a table in the middle. Her legs crossed beneath her, looking over across at the Nihilego on the other couch. Their tentacles wrapped beneath them like some mockery of her own legs, leaning forwards just as Laguna did. They had no face, no way of expressing emotions except body language, which she was having a hard time picking up when it just copied her all the time.

Laguna eventually laughed, leaning back into her seat, and watched as the Nihilego leaned back as well. "I'm... not going to lie, you do terrify me. But that's only because I don't understand you. It's easy to fear the unknown." She'd mumble to herself, even if they didn't recognize her words, it was good to say them. "Some Pokémon that looked like you, took some friends of mine... And I know it's not their fault. The Voice is responsible. But that fear still lingers."

"Tea is ready." Intruded another Pokémon all of a sudden, Mr. Business carrying in a small tray with a Teapot, and two cups of tea already poured. "Sugar and honey, as I know you like it." Strolling in, he'd place it down on the table, only to immediately move to walk back out to the kitchen.

How he managed to get the electric stove working, using a few car batteries and the wiring from a washing machine, she'd never know.

"Ah! Thank you Mr. Business." She'd smile politely, nodding her head as she moved to grab her cup of tea.

On cue, the Nihilego grabbed her own. Their tentacle wrapping through the small hook on the cup and carrying it as daintily as Laguna was.

"Do you like Tea?" Laguna spoke, moving to take a small sip.

All the while, the Nihilego just held up her mug and dumped it straight against their head, approximately where a face would be, spilling straight down and onto the couch.

She couldn't help but just smile widely. Even she had to admit, that was kind of cute.
