That was...

[Pause.]

...A-anyway, I'm awake now. [Those who've talked to Clover in the past may notice that she's not her usual loud and hyper self. Her voice sounds faint and groggy.] I hope everyone else is awake too.

Budew? Budew!

Yeah... [There's the sound of little footsteps from the little feet of a little Budew just worried about his mistress.] I'm fine...

[She shuts off the feed.]

[BROOOOOOOOOOOO. She nearly drops her PokéGear in surprise. Clover's sitting up in bed (but she clearly hasn't clambered out of it yet) when she hears your voice.]

Ah - I was wondering where you were! [Surprise quickly turns to OMG THERE YOU ARE. She deduced that you were the one who brought her here but...yeah WHERE IS THE BRO I WANNA SEE THE BRO. But she doesn't get out and run to him; she's still feeling a little tired. That can come later.]

[this is the second time you've given him a near heart-attack, young lady. Snake is going over to the bedside as fast as he can once she speaks, putting the treats on the side table.

HE LOOKS CONCERNED.]

I should be the one to say that. [seriously where were you. your conscience, he means. oh. he sounds too concerned--snake calms down a little bit before he continues. NOW HE'S JUST RELIEVED.] . . . Are you all right?

[SORRY, BROTHER. She just...stays there, eagerly waiting for him to come over and sit beside her so he can be within reach for a hug.]

I'm all right. [Clover smiles a bit despite the remnants of grogginess...and though her voice is softer than usual, she means it. She's really okay. So is everyone...everything that happened in that nightmare world was exactly that, a nightmare. Snake was here, and he was okay, and everyone else probably was.

Her eyes travel toward the tray of treats. Suddenly she feels hungry as well as tired.]

Are those for me?

. . . Good. I'm glad. [and for once Snake looks a tad bit tired--all that worrying, running around shedinja catching, and frequent trips to her room had been rather... well, tiring.

he's good at sensing what she wants, so he takes a seat on the edge of the bed.]

Yes, they are. Take whatever you like--I suppose I don't mind if you spoil your dinner... This time.

Really? [Her voice is a little...brighter now, if one could describe it that way, but it remains soft. She does manage a little laugh after.] Wow, thanks!

[Then she notices how tired he looks. Clover reaches out to touch his arm.]

For everything, I mean. For the food, for bringing me here, for making sure I was safe...

[well, snake is just going to use his other hand to touch Clover's own--he's just glad she's okay. that's all that mattered.]

There's no need to thank me for that, Clover. So long as you're all right. [he's not lecturing her at all--just saying it honestly.]

[Clover nods - and is again reminded of how hungry she really is. Then she takes some of the goodies, and starts eating.]

Are we in the next city? After Route 29?

[... yep, he's glad she's eating. just sitting here on the edge, trying not to disturb her.]

Yes. Cherrygrove.

Oh. Maybe we could have a look around sometime, see what Pokémon we can find.

[She tugs on his sleeve and holds out the bowl close to his hand.]

Want some?

If you'd like, we can do so. Once you rest up.

[always so productive, Clover. a curious incline of his head, and he's glancing in the general direction of the bowl.]

What is it?

[She picks up a cookie and places it into his hand.]

These cookies are great! Have you tried 'em?

I'll be doing so now. Thank you, Clover.

[he smiles in thanks before taking a small bite into it. sweet things weren't what he loved, but he had to admit--]

. . . Hm. They are quite good.

Aren't they? You should have another. And another. And maybe another. [Is that a bowl on your lap? YES. YES IT IS.]
