It was midday when Arya woke Quin up. "Time to go."
Quin sat up, her friend dowsing last nights fire. "I'm gonna bathe first. The river is nearby, and it's been a while since I've washed." She looked towards Espeon who was wide awake. "You coming?"
Espeon shook his head. "No thanks, I'm not good with water."
"Up to you," Quin said, headed towards the river.
When she got there, she stripped to her underwear, keeping her knife handy. She walked to the shallow part and layer down, letting the cool water run over her.
Quin sighed. "I can't keep doing this, if Arya travels with me she may get hurt."
"is that so?" A voice said.
Startled, Quin quickly got out of the water and put on her shirt, but spotted a familiar mop of gray hair. "Inigo, is it really polite of a prince to stare at a girl?"
"Hey, looking's never hurt anyone," Inigo said, "besides, what would I want with you?"
"You tell me, Inigo," Quin said, "your always flirting with girls without thought of consequence, strange for someone who's mother is a dancer."She finished redressing herself and grabbed her bow. "If you had shown up at a worse time, I probably would have impaled your foot."
"Glad I didn't, then," Inigo said, smiling, "I knew your father, you know. He was the one who got mother to become such a beautiful dancer." A shuriken suddenly flew past him.
Arya strode out of the woods, the two Pokémon following behind her. "Ah, Inigo. I thought I smelled a wolf."
Inigo sighed. "Again, I do it because my heart urges me to."
"Then ignore your heart," Arya said. "You obviously would make a better fighter without it. You can't even lift a blade against a female opponent, let alone an oran Berry." Everyone laughed at this.
Inigo just shook his head. "You two are horrible, you know that?"
"Yep," Quin said, "which is why we shall leave now." With that, they left.
A little while later, Quin picked up a fallen branch and snapped it easily. "I can't stand him, always flirting."
"Neither can I, Quin," Arya said.
