[After excusing himself from where he and the Fujimiya siblings have set up camp for the night, Mamoru makes his way to Nagi to check in. He pauses to take in the sight of the two baby Pokémon, then offers his bodyguard a faint smile.]

Your team is growing quickly.

[usedtelekinesis]

[Nagi matches the faint smile and nods.]

I couldn't have only one forever.

[deadfreesia]

That's true. Do you have names in mind?

[usedtelekinesis]

Not yet. I'll see how they act first.

[deadfreesia]

Yeah.

[He settles his gaze on the newly hatched Abra.]

Aya-kun and his sister are treating their injuries; Aya-kun will be taking the first watch tonight. If I'm going to get any rest, I can't stay long. Have you had any trouble?

[usedtelekinesis]

Not much. The bugs seem to be less aggressive than they were earlier. I can keep watch from this distance if you need more eyes.

[deadfreesia]

I'm grateful.

Will you seek out a little rest for yourself?

[usedtelekinesis]

Once it looks safe for a while, I'll sleep.

[deadfreesia]

Please do. It's been an exhausting day.
