Hey, the Pokemon can deal with it as far as she's concerned right now considering she's scooting to be able to lean against him properly. Doesn't matter if they're somewhere that isn't familiar, this is familiar and that's what matters to her the most. There's not too much more she could really ask for.

Fiore seems to just squint at him for a moment from her curled spot but deciding that fine she guesses and shifts to headbutt his hand gently before laying it back down on Suzi's thigh. At least the Chikorita is doing what she does best and has that whole scent thing going on to keep people calm.

... Not that Rush seems to need it as Suzi's more than happy to lightly scratch his head with her nails. "Bite? This cute little thing?" She doesn't believe a word of that, Joseph. "He seems pretty friendly to me, what'd you do to get him to bite?" Better to entirely ignore the whole ugly scars on her hand comment because, wow, that would probably bristle some people instead of it rolling off her back.
