some free time to myself for once....

Tala finished the enchanting tune, she could see that Petey was relaxed and calm then turned to a dazed Draco with a shy grin.

Draco got a small tear in his eye at the end

Tala gave a bit of a wary glance "Is something wrong?" she asked.

Draco snapped out of his daze and wiped the tear from his eye "oh,nothin...." Neon gave him a sympathetic look

Tala looked at him curiously, he seemed so different from the 'big bad guy' she had seen all too often. She looked to the ground trying to think of something to say "uh...so Draco, can you play anything other than the Violin?" she asked.

Drco shook his head and looked at her for a second

Tala thought for a second keeping quiet, she didn't know what to say when she felt a pokeball on her belt shake.

"uh..." Draco pointed to the shaking pokebal

Tala tried to ignor it but Instinct got out of her pokeball on her own and looked infuriated. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING BEING SO CALM!!" Instinct shouted telepathically. Tala glared at the absol "You know what manners are so use them!" she growled making the absol go quiet. Tala let out a sigh, "I'm sorry about her try to teach a stuborn pokemon manners and they don't learn even after 7 years!" she shook her head..

Draco laughed for a minute "haha! you can tell i've been doing the same!" he said pointing at Neon>neon glared at him and looked to instinct

Instinct lay down next to Tala and looked Neon in the eye with a hard glare to match Neon's. Tala sighed again, "Play nice or no poffins!" she said "I'm sure Ty would eat them!" Tala giggled thinking of the slightly overweight Typhlosion.

Draco laughed with her and fced forward

Instnct didn't listen and still watched the luxray with caution. Tala ignored her and turned to Draco, "The weather's been nice this week, not too much rain, plenty of sun and some cloud for a bit of shade!" she smiled childishly.

"hehe..." Draco thought to himself for a minute "listen....i'm sorry or being so awkward it's just that...." he sighed "nah,...forget it!"

Tala looked at him curiously, "No! Tell me I like to listen!" she insisted.

Draco turned to her and blushed "you like really like my mom...."

Tala didn't understand why he came out with that but gave a bright smile, "You remind me of my big brother when you're nice like this!" she said innocently "But, I understand that you have to follow orders, we all have to at some point or another in our lives, but sometimes..." Tala trailed off not wanting to upset Draco.

"no,go on!" he said moving towards her slightly

"Sometime, a person or pokemon has know know when to say no, that they can't followw certain orders because it's inhumain, wrong!" she said looking down, she didn't want to upset Draco because she realised how different he was when he was 'off the clock' as she put it.

Draco paused or a minute and nodded

Tala looked at Petey who nuzzled her shoulder and then lifted his head and and watched Instinct and Neon.

Draco stood up "gotta go...trainer class.." Draco said walking off "see ya kid.." he said with a wave as neon followed him

Tala got up too "Wait up! We're in the same class!" she called putting Petey in a pokeball and running to catch up with Instinct right behind her. "We can go together if you want?" she suggested as she caught up to him.

"hm...i suppose" he said,giving her a smile and returning neon to her pokeball

Tala put Instinct into her pokeball to avoid glares. "You're kinda cool, y'know! A bit shady and hard to figure out, but cool!" she said with a bright smile.
