[ If you've spoken to Naminé before, you might notice she looks far more at ease now. Being around people who actually like her and mean her no harm has done wonders for her, and there's even a small, content smile there. She's sitting cross-legged on the floor, and in her lap is a Chikorita.

Making sure not to disrupt the sleeping Pokémon, she holds up a (probably familiar) feather. ]

... Is it normal to have things like these floating around? They're beautiful, but... I'm not sure what their use is.

[Light notices this, and she's not quite sure how to take it.]

Are you alright?

[Private Video]

[shatterings]

Oh... yes. I-I'm fine. I'm sorry if I worried you.

[Private Video]

Are you overwhelmed?

[Private Video]

[shatterings]

A... a little bit.

[Private Video]

[bylight]

I'm sorry... I'll send Hope then.

[Private Video]

[shatterings]

Oh... please don't apologize, Light... I'm sorry. Thank you... again.

... If there's anything you need, you know how to reach me, alright?

[She doesn't want to end the conversation. She doesn't know when she'll see her dear friend again.]

[Private Video]

[shatterings]

... Okay. Thank you, Lightning.

[ Honestly, she's reluctant to say goodbye. Lightning's a lot busier than she is, after all, and she's not sure if her schedule will allow much contact. ]

[She was going to hang up. She was set to do it. Vanille decided otherwise, waking from her nap and hearing the voice of one of her favorite people. There's a loud bleat and yellow wool in the screen now, with a cursing Lighting in the background. Vanille wants to say hi to her friend. Hi!]

[Private Video]

[shatterings]

Oh!

[ Unexpected, but she lets out a tiny little laugh. ]

... Hello, Vanille. It's been a while.

[The screen seems to hover now and moves, making Vanille bounce off of Light to follow it. She bleats excitedly, her wool starting to gather static. Lightning lets out a sigh as she moves off screen.]

Hope, don't let her zap it.

[She comes back a moment later with rubber gloves and a brush.]

If there's one thing Hope has gotten good at, it's his telekinesis. That'll come in handy for you if you need him to hold something for you. He can teach Ellie.

Light... you've gotten much better at handling her, haven't you?

[ That makes her happy, especially since they got off to such a rocky start. ]

So... that's how you let him know what you need?

[Private Video]

[bylight]

I had to. But as she got stronger, she started calming down.

[She starts brushing the wool, using the rubber in the brush and gloves to avoid being zapped.]

Yes. He can also use another psychic ability to talk to me and let me know what the others want.

[Private Video]

[shatterings]

Maybe some of her energy was being burned off?

[ Naminé watches with interest, while Ellie simply stares. ]

He's very smart.

[Private Video]

[bylight]

I think so. She seems to enjoy battling.

[Vanille bleats happily and sways as she is brushed. She looks very content.]

He always was. Just has a bad temper.
