It doesn't take a physic to figure out that Psi's new roommate is, well, rather unhappy with her current situation. Sure, it's not like Bonnie isn't grateful for the offer she was given to stay with the candy corn horned troll, but that doesn't make accepting everything any easier. The little bed she's been given is comfortable and she has enough blankets to keep warm, but it's hard to sleep. Dedenne's beside her - he always is - but he's not her brother. Trying to think of it as an extended sleepover doesn't work too well either. She had Serena then to keep her company and it wasn't like Clemont would be away from her for too long. This wouldn't be like then, though. A year was still, in her mind, unfathomable.

She tries to be quiet and not cry, tries to be a big girl and remind herself that it's not going to be forever...but it's hard. She's jealous of Dedenne, who has no trouble falling asleep, despite his concerns for his owner. If only she could be like him - at least she could get through the night easier that way. Maybe a drink of water would be good to have. Wiping her eyes with the edge of one of the blankets given to her she slips from her bed, quietly shuffling through the trailer toward the kitchenette. Puffy eyes do their best to guide her through the dimly lit trailer until she reaches the sink. There's a cupboard off to the side with its door ajar enough that a few cups can be seen inside. The only problem is that it's hanging above her, just out of reach, despite her best attempts to get at it on her tiptoes. Not one to be deterred she decides to try and climb atop the counter to reach it, knocking a few knicknacks off the surface in the process.

"Ah...oops."

No Psi, it's not your cat knocking over things. It's the little human girl you've decided to take under your wing.

It's not the first time she's seen physic abilities before, but usually they've been restricted to Pokemon and nothing else. That said, Psi isn't human, nor is he a Pokemon, so it's pretty neat to see him float Dedenne in her bag over to them. Hit has her smiling while she clings like a komala.

"We're both tiny. That's pretty lucky."

The Psionic just laughs, turning around, her bag and Dedenne turning with the. The pokemon floats beside them as they walk over to the Psionic's room instead. "I'm not sure if it's lucky, but it is convenient."

Is Dedenne still asleep right now? He is a deep sleeper.

"If you can't sleep that's fine too. I stay up pretty late most of the time anyway. We can play games or basically do whatever until you get tired enough to fall asleep!"

If there's one thing Dedenne is good at it's sleeping. Mulling over what he's said she decides it's not too bad of an offer. She's a bit too tired for games though but still too tired to outright fall asleep. That doesn't mean she's out of options though. Arms squeeze gently as she shifts to slink them around his neck. He doesn't seem to have trouble holding her at all. It reminds her of when her dad picks her up to hold her.

That thought makes her squeeze tighter, just a bit.

"Can you tell me a story?"

[dorkypantsuit]

In fact, holding her is very easy. She's pretty light, he doesn't even need his psionics to move her around.

"A story?" he knew a few, there were more than a few troll fairy tales, but he never cared for them really. Of course every lowblood had one story or another about a highblood getting their comeuppance, but something like that wouldn't really make sense to a human. He knew plenty of ghost stories, but maybe Bonnie scared easily? So that was also out.

"A story..." He wanted to tell her something happy, not scary or sad so stories about his own life were probably out. The Disciple had always been the storyteller of their group, maybe something she would say.

"Well, I guess I can, but it might not be very good. What kind of stories do you like?"
