Disclaimer: I do not claim any of the Pokemon characters used in this chapter–not even the one who wanted to cuddle–because they are all property of Satoshi Tajiri and I haven't stolen the rights from him yet. I bet he has people try that all the time, actually; probably has to have bodyguards and stuff.
Author's Note: Apologies for the long hiatus, everyone! School is tough; it's even tougher when you have to go to work to pay rent.
Bashful
Releasing her teammates, Lyra was given quite the show as she watched Riley the Larvitar waddle up to her quagsire, Ani. He was bashful, eyes on the ground as he mumbled indistinctly; suddenly, Ani picked him up and rubbed her face affectionately against his. Lyra laughed herself into tears as he tried and failed to escape.
When he calmed down, Ani placed him on her stomach and sprawled out, utterly content. He was predictably embarrassed, but curled up like a sandshrew. Not wanting to disturb them, Lyra waved good night and slipped into her sleeping bag. She'd tease him later.
Lots of dragon-y love,
