Asuka could be counted on to remain composed and poised in nearly every situation, save for the ones that were absolutely panic-inducing, and this wasn't one of them. However, that didn't mean she was too pleased with the situation right now. Her Teddiursa had been abducted no less than three times until Asuka had to settle for keeping the little bear in her arms and directed Prima to keep the floating purple creatures at bay.

This worked well enough, but there were more of them than there were of any of the trio, and Asuka could only be grateful that they weren't hostile. In fact, one of them had drifted over cautiously and, instead of issuing a challenge to battle, had found some sort of fascination with Asuka's hair and was now playing with it, raising the end to gather her hair into a ponytail and twirling its strings into strands of it to curl it.

It was almost reminiscent of Fubuki, sans the gesturing and laughing and exclamations of, "Asuka, you MUST revel in your beauty and share it with the world!" Which was the only reason she did tolerate this odd little thing.

And if there were less of them surrounding her and staring, she'd be even happier.

[HEAD ON COLLISION Zuru lets go of Johan and goes tumbling to the ground with an Arbok yelp]

[Johan will be falling as well, while Quartz shakes himself off and-- Chases after the Arbok!]

[ARBOK uses RUN and it's probably pretty hilarious, watching the Venonat chase after the GIANT SNAKE]

... Ehehehe. They're... getting along?

[The Venonat is not giving up, no sir. Anyone got a Benny Hill CD?]

I... think so?

[Arbok will just keep sliiiitering along, slithering along]

... Well no one's getting hurt!

[The Venonat sees a chance and-- TACKLES-- But only to get a ride.]

[Arbok yelps again-- but doesn't knock the Venonat off, instead choosing to sliiiiither on]

That's a good sign!

Haha--! They're... playing now?

I think so. [and he means that because Zuru has calmed down enough to seemingly enjoy Quartz's company]

... Yeah. This is kinda nice.

[grin] Yeah.

[It's nice to see his Arbok having fun with someone that isn't him for once, because it means he isn't going to be tackled and squeezed out of nowhere]

We'll have to let them do this more often when we're on the road.

[Venonats not wibbling for attention is fine too.]

It'll be better than keeping them in their balls the entire time.

Hehe, you have that right. I can't imagine what'd happen if he evolves someday and is still like this.

What's he evolve into, anyway?

[blank look] I have no idea. Maybe a big, really hairy bug!

Even bigger and hairier than he is now?

Ten times bigger and hairier! Or maybe he'll get armor--!

And giant feelers coming out of his head!

Oh, yeah! And maybe he'll get... [looking at the little thing] Another set of eyes, after it evolves again?

And wings!

You think it'll get wings?

Why wouldn't it?

Well, the flying ones seem to have two types, with Flying as one, and it's already got two. [... yes he is really putting some logic into this crazy brainstorming.]
