Songrose nodded; at least the Quilava was encouraging. "Yes, Ninetales are bigger...but the fact is, I'd need a fire stone to evolve, and even then I still have paws, and would still be a bit smaller than you." Of course, she also had to learn to manage the paws first, too. Otherwise, she'd just keep stumbling around like she had no idea what she was doing. She took note of his joy of the fact that the human didn't have problems talking to him in front of people, but to other Pokemon he did. Which seemed strange to her, but it was probably a lack of confidence, or the worry that the people around him would think he was insane, or something.

She looked up as the human spoke to them again, and offered a hesitant smile. "Would it be any better if we talked about you in front of your face? Not that it was anything bad, of course..." She couldn't push this person too far; couldn't make him upset with her, or she'd never turn human again. She had seen his attention when he found the poster, and wondered if it was a good time to bring up the fact that that was her face on the poster; that she was actually human. It could wait, she decided, until she explained the full story. ...Well, when she could explain the full story, after he had learned enough to understand her. She would just have to settle from trying to explain a simplified version for now.

She sat, waching him eat, and tilted her head to one side. Had she seemed to...awkward eating when she was human? Well, from a Pokemon's standpoint, anyway. She hadn't been able to use silverware, and it just now seemed pointless; more dishes to wash for a Pokemon that couldn't use them. She stretched and started to lick her paws dry. She already felt bad about tracking some small puddles into the building from her wet paws, and she didn't want to leave any more behind. Besides, it would clean her fur and make it look so much better than it already did.

"By the way...how long will it take him to eat? I don't want to interrupt his meal with my little explanation of what I need help with."
