[The dodiro comes for him, stopping before the samurai and rearing up. They found it!!! They found the smell!!!

Meanwhile, Rakka barely has any idea what's going on yet.]

Whaaa! Wha!

[jack_to_the_future]

[Sword in hand, he turns, and offers a puff!]

[charcoalfeather]

[AWWWWWW YEAH

One of the heads carefully takes the puff in it's beak and backs away for the other two heads to squabble with it.

This is also when Rakka finally loses her grip and goes tumbling off the back of her ride and into the grass, only to pop her head up a moment later.]

....Uh, hi?

[jack_to_the_future]

Are you all right?

[charcoalfeather]

Ow, ow, ow... [The girl rubbed her shoulder, slowly raising to her feet. Her Dodrio had gone off to reap the spoils of all this.]

I-I'm alright. I guess my pokemon smelled the food you had and... got excited.

[She shakes her head.] I'm so sorry about that.

[jack_to_the_future]

A treat can be quite enticing. [He reaches to pet a Dodrio head.] There is nothing to apologize for.

[charcoalfeather]

[There are three heads, so, take your pick, Jack. They are certainly open to having headpats now that one of them had finally consumed the pokepuff.

Rakka, on the meanwhile, still looked very sorry for herself, if no one else.]

I-I know how that feels... [hehe...] Still, I-I really, really appreciate you not starting a fight over a treat.

[jack_to_the_future]

Why would I do something like that? Is that...common occurrence here?

[charcoalfeather]

Ah... [She opens her mouth, letting it hang open for a couple seconds before she finds the words she needs.]

I'm sorry. You must be new here. [Or not, but hey, she's presuming things again.] Usually, if two people with pokemon meet out here like this, they're supposed to battle with their pokemon.

[jack_to_the_future]

These creatures are forced to fight?

[charcoalfeather]

No, that's not it. They actually want to show how powerful they are! [she shakes her head... then kind of shrugs.]

It's just that, the people who are native here. They really want to battle, and they'll probably battle you if you make eye contact.

[jack_to_the_future]

[Jack considers this.]

Hmm...I can't say that I approve of animals fighting like that....

[charcoalfeather]

Neither did I, not at first. [She walks over to her Dodrio, gently laying her hands on its furry body.]

But, the truth is they actually want to fight. But, it's not to the death, it's just to show how much they've learned.

[And how strong a bond can be.]

[jack_to_the_future]

[He considers this.]

It is...their choice?

[charcoalfeather]

Well.... yes!

[It's a team effort!!]
