Lyra is a lot more familiar with Envy's behavioral...quirks, and lets out a pleased croak as she surreptitiously leans to bump her beak to Darkness', as though the trainers would understand her as she tells Darkness slyly, "See how this is going! Mine has almost said something pleasant aloud. We'll be able to visit more easily, I'm sure."
