Emmy certainly did seem rather pleased to be up here; Kimblee hadn't seen that camera out so much in the entire time that he'd been spending time with her in Johto. Either way, he was rather content to simply shrug off the comments regarding his appearance and work out a way to get off the snake without vaulting down. He manages well enough; he's still trying to not do further damage to his spine, as he imagines Archer would kill him. First the burns to the right hand, now his back; he's managed to do himself a good amount of stupid injuries riding the Steelix into battle in such a short time.

Obviously, he's ridiculously fond of her anyway, and has no intention of stopping.

For now, however, he's perfectly content to follow Emmy wherever it is she wants to go; she's the one making all the decisions regarding this trip of theirs. Well, except...

"Ah, that would be lovely, yes - but I refuse to let you pay for anything. That was the agreement, remember."
