Larvitar was indeed enjoying time without his insect tormentor around, though he was wary about the water cup. Rock/ground type and all that. But, since Ash seemed nice, and his trainer wasn't wary (truth be told, she hadn't worked out his dislike of water) he'd been poking at it. At the headpats he looked up, and blunk. Bwuh...?

Nel was a bit amused, but nodded wistfully at the mention of her friends. "Yes. Pesche and Dondochakka, for one. I do not recall if they have ever been outside of Hueco Mundo at all." She sighed. "They would likely enjoy it the most."
