What a relief! He hadn’t offended his companion. A little puff of harmless spores marked Nightlight’s relaxed posture. “Yeah… We’ll call it a novel experience! Never bad to have those, right?”
Nine children? Bii’s eyes bulged and she found herself looking up at Jean in shock. The gentleness of the woman’s smile caused the deerling gijinka to blush. She hadn’t expected that kind look. Even more thoroughly embarrassed, she fidgeted and went back to staring at her knuckles… Though, judging by the way she was now slowly and gently kicking her the tips of her legs back and forth as well as the lighter, excited tone in her voice, she was happy about this conversation.
“Y-Yeah. Um. Shula’s… Coming here as a-a ranger is my first time seeing… others, s-so it’s…”
She forced herself to look up at Jean. She knew it was polite to make eye contact when she was speaking and she felt she owed the woman that much with how nice she’d been.
“Y-Your big family sounds… nice. I… I didn’t know gijinka could have families t-that big…”
Daniel’s happy home… The family at the ranger union… And, now, Jean’s many children. How odd to think that months ago, Bii hadn’t conceived of happiness for a gijinka, nevermind the wonder of family life.
“... I-I can see why you might stay home… T-Television w-with everyone sounds… good.”
In her mind, she tried to picture herself with others doing the same. She could see herself with her team, but who else could be there…? Would there ever be anyone else like her to share those sorts of moments with?

notes: N/A || "Jean Speech" || Ilargi “Bii” Benigno
Though the small Pidgey would not show such a thing - for the small bird had gotten good in some manner at hiding his reactions but not so far that he were an emotionless little being, no more like knowing when were the best time for certain mannerisms - he were certainly glad that his prior choice of words had caused the small fairy type to become considerably more relaxed. This would be all the reason that the small Pidgey would manage a smal and almost silent happy chirping sound after having glanced at then quickly looked away from his own companion, well it would have made things awkward wouldn't it?
But when the other would release the spores and speak further would the small Pidgey turn his focus to his friend in order to show he were indeed listening before bobbing his head to indicate his agreement to the words of the others. < Indeed! Always good and a good learning opportunity for everyone yes? Especially if it helps for anything right? >
Now when it came to Jean she would easily notice the look of surprise that would form and generally be evident upon the features of the younger gijinka female that were Bii, for of course it were by all means highly unusual for there to be such large gijinka famillies as this yes? So for Bii to look as stunned as she did were just about what Jean expected after having made her revealation regarding her children so much that she wouldn't be so rude as to focus attention upon such a thing as this nor the surprisingly child like actions that would follow, if nothing else it were a sweet sight to behold even if Bii seemed somewhat embarressed this were not something that Jean were focusing too much attention upon.
"Well I hope that such new experiances are positive ones for you - though be cautious too, like humans such as myself there are some gijinka who may be unkind too for whatever reasons that they have. But I do hope you meet more nice people - human or gijinka - than nasty." And of course Jean would mean such words with every fibre of her being even if certain aspects were beyond anyone's control, though it were Bii's next comments that would cause the older woman to subconciously stiffen.
But then again; who could truly blame Jean? More so given the particular nature of her children's birth and the like not that many people other than a few select people who were either close to her or her family knowing such things, but that was long ago and it would be unfair for herself to treat Bii any differently for the younger woman were merely making innocent enough comments.
"Your right, it is unusual for gijinka famillies to be so big - but then that has to do with their particular heritage as they are all a differnt Eevee gijinka. But not all famillies - be it human or gijinka - have happy beginnings, mine was like that. Life may be better and happy now but the first couple of years were less so, dark times. Butyou need not worry about that." Jean found herself daring to share, but thankfully such thoughts did not linger forever and there would be other things that would give Jean something else to think about which would be enough to replace whatever negative feelings with more positive ones.
"It is . . . . . . So often it is just the small and simple things that work out so well."

While the two pokemon chatted pleasantly between themselves, Bii listened intently to what Jean had to say.
Eevee evolution gijinka… Something about that rung a bell. Security protocols? Oh, no, thinking about that—she was all to happy to think of something else. Anything else. She was all to happy not to worry about what Jean meant even as something she knew but refused to acknowledge itched at the back of her mind like a spider down the back of one’s shirt.
“You’re right!” she chirped. “I-I really like the, um, allotments in Nefi Village…!”
Startlingly, the gijinka realized what she wanted to do was ask Jean if she also liked that sort of thing: the bridge-bound village with all of its quiet farming life. The people there were a little less bothered by gijinka. Bii hadn’t quite figured out why, but she liked it. They treated her like a new neighbor, as if they’d already had people like her living among them, and the tranquility of it all… The pokemon instead of machines everywhere.
Yes, she wanted very badly to ask Jean if she would meet Bii there and do something simple and easy: pick a salad from the public allotments and watch the ships go by or something. Or, maybe if she could come by the lively house Bii pictured in her head and meet all of those children Jean mentioned.
But, how to ask? Would that be rude? Would it be weird?!
Just as the lights dimmed for Milarnie’s appeal, Bii sputtered out her request. “We could p-pick flowers there…!”
... Nightlight's attention had returned to the stage. "Okay," he promised the pidgey. "This one'll be good. You'll see!" He had no idea of that. He was just hopeful and a fan of contests.

Now in her own way Jean would be more than glad that her present company in the form of the rather sweet and generally cute younger gijinka female - well, the younger female were indeed both of those things despite her apparent and understandable shyness and the like - did not come to pry any further into just what the older woman would have been talking about regarding the whole 'less than happy' beginnings and the like. After all it would simply be nice to just push such past negative thoughts from her mind and focus on the present, all the more so that while she could in no way be completely certain there were just something about Bii's mannerisms that indicated something in her own past that were not so nice.
As such it would take little time for Jean to dispel all thoughts from her mind and all the more so when the gijinka female would come to make mention of the allotments that were within Nefi village, now this were something that even the older woman herself could relate to something that she would enjoy doing herself also. "Oh?! The allotments? Their lovely aren't they? I love watching all the pokemon and people work on them, though it's not quite the same I love my own garden at my home. Growing my own plants and flowers amongst other things of use. So relaxing and my pokemon love it too." Jean would find herself partly gushing before stopping herself frmo going too overboard in such things, she had to try control herself didn't she?
It would be as the lights began to dim that the older woman would - for a short time at the very least - turn her attention away from Bii for a time and towards the staging area before her focus snapped around to Bii at her next words, of course the request / suggestion would come as something of a faint surprise but she would in no way be disgusted by the thought of such. In fact if nothing else Jean actually liked this particular idea, so much that she would pretty much come to say as much."I would like that Bii."
Meanwhile in the case of the two pokemon, though the small Pidgey may not have originally come in with his own human to watch the contest because of the fact that he were interested in such things but surprisingly the longer time he were spending in the company of the fairy type the small shiny bird were actually starting to get a thrill out of all this as small wings attempted to flutter slightly while repositioning himself to get a better view.

A garden?! She had a garden at her home?! She grew her own plants and flowers…?! And, things of use? That was herbs, right? Maybe even delicious things that could go in a salad!!
A small, squeaky, “...Ah!” of idolizing glee would escape the half-doe woman. Too cool! Too incredible! A big family, and she liked contests, and she had her own garden?! Bii’s tail wiggled furiously behind her in the chair even as she tried very hard to focus on Milarnie’s performance. (The fiery intensity of it made that rather easy. How beautiful…! Maybe Inkwell was right about the team needing a fire type?) It took all of her composure to respectfully watch at first, though at some point she did get startled by the sudden glow sticks appearing in the crowd.
What the heck were those?!
Still, in the end, she was overwhelmed with delight. Contests were fantastic! And, now she had a buddy to pick flowers with!
“W-Wow…!” Bleating with glee, Bii watched dreamily as that coordinator left for the stage to prep for the next appeal. Oh, she had to use this time well! Thank goodness for the bump function of xtranscievers! Holding her wrist up, she once again turned to Jean. Her demeanor was much less nervous now. “Our numbers…! So, um… The allotments, or… or…”
Here, she was less nervous out of fear and more fumbling out of the newness of it all. She’d never invited anyone anywhere, much less herself to someone’s house. Was that rude? But, she did want to see Jean’s garden desperately!
“Your garden!”
Her enthusiasm was sincere despite all the stuttering.
The morelull, meanwhile, had been awestruck. Nightlight tip-tapped his little root-feet on Bii’s knees before turning to the pidgey. “Now, THAT’S an appeal! The showmanship, the pizzazz! … The lights!!”
Hm, all of the lights. Maybe he could do something like that? Maybe if his new buddy agreed he’d think about it. But, for now, Nightlight was just over the moon about that appeal.

Berrys have fallen early from their perches, fruit and food is getting caught in snap frosts and icy mornings and this is leading to very cold mornings, pokemon getting desprate quickly and dark and chilly evenings
Next season change ~ May 20th
Swarming Pokemon!
Encouraged Characters
Currently, our character numbers are pretty even, so aside from us gently encouraging more civilians and breeders...go nuts!
Numbers of Gijinka on site have dropped, too, so they're open to be applied for at the moment- though, if you're interested, go check out the adoptable threads for many wanted ones! They could always use players! ;-)
