ECHO: A desperate plea

[brokencode]

[Like many of her posts in recent months, Angel's is quick and to the point. This time, however, she seems to at least have dropped the emotionless facade. More than anything, she looks tired, though it's now mixed with at least one part concern and two parts hurt.]

What can cause a pokemon to abruptly stop listening to you? I have always been close with my creatures, but now... it feels like something has changed.

Do they understand apologies? Or... do I have to prove myself anew?

Mm, no, yeah, it's usually not...

_{[She's not about to awkwardly exit out of the conversation to go listen to the other ones on the post-- but she can definitely tell Angel about her own experience with the matter.]}

... At one point, my Togekiss stopped listening to me.

Technically, she never needed to to begin with, I inherited her and she was way out of my badge range, but she was just extremely good-tempered so she pretty much followed my instructions anyway...

But I did something that really destroyed her faith in me.

And she stopped obeying completely after that-- still treated me fine, but I was in the freaking dog house.

Felt real bad.
