Did you even bother eating anything earlier...? It would be the only reason for being this tired this early in the afternoon.

[ rock had just been walking past when he overheard the girl's exclamation. his growlithe barked as if to agree with his trainer. eating gives energy after all. but when rock notices he's just opened his mouth, he laughs sheepishly. ]

D-Don't mind me. I just spoke out loud.

[brokenuniverse]

[Kotone startles a little at someone actually answering her, and even her Tepig rolls a few times before jumping to its feet with sudden alertness.]

You- ... Food.

[She'd been trying not to think about it, but now that she is, her stomach growls loudly and she gives a bashful grin.]

No, uh, you're right. I did eat before leaving New Bark, but... I just got here, so I'm not sure how careful I should be rationing.

[wolfspedigree]

[ his smile is weak. at least he's not dealing with violence.

but when the girl says food, and how she's being careful with her rations, rock nods and slings off his bag from his shoulder. a few moments later, and a bento-box filled with curry and rice was presented to her. ]

Here. I have some more for myself, so don't worry about it. [ at least his smile now is a little more confident. being kind was rock's strong suit. ]

[brokenuniverse]

[Gosh, she knows she should be at least a little hesitant to accept food from a stranger. If not for the sake of politeness, then for her own safety. But food has always been her weakness.]

Oh! That's really nice of you... Are you sure? [She asks, but her hand is visibly twitching, clearly wanting very badly to take it.]

[wolfspedigree]

I’m sure. It’s not poisoned or anything, if that’s what you’re thinking.

[ but he can’t blame her for her hesitancy. even he would be surprised at being offered such a nice meal out of nowhere. but as it stands, she needs the food way more than he does. ]

[brokenuniverse]

Oh, I wasn't trying to imply anything! I'll just- Thanks.

[She accepts the bento gratefully, mouth watering a little when she opens the lid to see what's inside.]

Gods, that looks good. [It looks like they have some of the same foods here as they do where she's from, which is reassuring.]

Thanks, you saved me with this! I'm Kotone, by the way. This is a little out of order, but nice to meet you.

[wolfspedigree]

[ at least she was eager to accept. rock always liked it when he was able to share food, especially some that he's made. it made learning all the more worth it in his eyes. he smiles bashfully as she comments on its appeal, laughing lightly. ]

Yeah, it's not a problem. It's nice to meet you, Kotone. I'm Rock.

[ he notices the tepig by her side, and realizes he might be hungry as well. he fishes out some pokefood for the other, holding some out. ] Ah, and here's some for your pokemon. Can't let anyone go hungry, after all.

[brokenuniverse]

Good to meet you too, Rock. You don't... mind if I eat this now, do you?

[She gives a bashful grin as her stomach growls again. The bottomless pit demands a sacrifice.]

Oh, thank you! Hey, Tepig, say thanks.

[Her Tepig bounds over to Rock quickly enough to practically run into him, before cheerfully hopping up and down with happy little cries.]

Aha. Sorry, guess he's hungry too.

[wolfspedigree]

No, go right ahead. I made it recently, so eat it while it’s still warm.

[ if there was one thing rock knew how to do, it was cook on a budget, and that would absolutely show in the amount of flavor in what looks to be simple curry.

when the tepig comes rushing over, rock braced for impact— but thankfully didn’t have to. he laughs lightly, nodding in understanding. ]

I get it. I’d be acting the same way, actually. Here you go. [ he hands over the pokétreats, letting the pig pokémon eat away. ]
