"It's a quiet night..." Mear told me as he started to sketch again in his notebook and the wind picked up a little in the distance. I nodded, agreeing with him. It was quiet... and somehow it was a little easier to talk to him in it. That's different.
Mear closed his sketchbook for a moment and sat across from me. I paused with the cards and looked up at him.
"Do you know how to play speed? It's a pretty fun card game...." He left off, which got myself a little curious.
"I've only seen it before a few times in casinos I was haunting, so no... not really," I told him as I reset the cards, touching the cards, and setting them between each other. With his combined shadow and the parasol's, I noticed that the cards would stay floating. Thank God.
"I could teach you if you don't mind..." He suggested as the wind picked up a little and knocked a card off the deck and onto the moonlight. Crap.
I decided to try something.
"Shadow Sneak," I whispered and my shadow moved off of me and walked on its own. Literally.
I put two fingers on the ground like a little stick figure and made my stick figure move over to the card and pick it up. It acted like a real person, no joke. I made it flick the card over to me and I caught it, my shadow going back into place and Shadow Sneak ended its course.
I put it back on the deck and looked over at Mear. He must have seen my Shadow Sneak.
"If you don't mind me asking, what move did you just use?"
"Shadow Sneak. It's something new I just learned." He paused before talking again, which also made me realize that he had left his sketchbook down for some time. I wonder if that's different for a Smeargle gijinka?
"I guess I should teach you speed now, correct?" He made me chuckle a little.
"Yes, I should think so."

Did I get Mear's personality right, KC-chan? I hope I did. Heh. ^-^'
