Alone. Again. Melody sighed. People just don't like to be around me, huh? she thought. That Houndor boy she had accidentally tackled had tied up with the Luxray again and left her in the dust. How am I supposed to deliver that message if I am unable to even stick around someone for more than ten minutes?

She frowned and looked at the floor, turning over her options in her head. A rather familiar voice interrupted her, stating, "Sorry about that. I had to teach Lux a lesson." She recognized it as Hon's. He's apologizing? Huh. Her face turned a pale shade of pink and she turned to him, smiling. "It's okay," she said, "I don't really understand the bonding of siblings, but it's rather obvious you wish the best for your sister." She glanced down again, fiddling with the bottom of her shirt. "I apologize if I sound kind of dumb. I haven't been in a normal situation for more than two years."

Hon tilted his head to the side slightly, apparently curious about Melody's statement. She hurriedly shrugged it off, asking, "I need someone to trust. Do you mind taking me to your fellow gijinkas? And, perhaps, get to know each other better?"
