[Teddie was expecting some sort of physical contact and finds himself completely caught off guard when there isn't any. He fidgets just a little, as if anticipating it, but it looks like he's coming up empty. To make up for it, he reaches over and grabs his pokemon, holding her in his arms, giving them something to do. He'll just have to get his hugs somewhere else.]

Nngh, I don't feel like I'm fittin' in...

[He confesses, lowering his head.]

As fun as it is hanging out with Pops and stuff, it just doesn't feel the same. I think I miss everybody else...

[Although Teddie fully understands that friends leave -- after all he was completely prepared when his beloved sensei finally had to go home -- he just wasn't ready for nearly everyone disappearing on him all at once. Adjusting's just going to take some time.]

I'm just glad you're here, Rise-chan. Thanks a bunch for comin'.
