I have Ky, my Piplup, right here. [He gestured for the gear then turned it to Ky who stared at Byleth for a bit before he looked back up at Ashe who nodded.] He's another person I trust, Ky. [The Piplup looked back at Byleth for a few more seconds when he waved. Ashe walked over to the counter to place his gear so he could see Byleth's face again.] I have Loog, my Mudkip, a Growlithe and Lampent from Lysithea and I feel like I have another one I have to check. I know they can be really shy when meeting new people.

[Ashe always felt bad when he couldn't remember all his new companion creatures off the top of his head. He walked over to the refrigerator to grab a carton of eggs and placed them on the counter. Since living here for awhile he remembered which cabinet had the equipment he needed. Ashe placed the bowl next to the carton and grabbed an egg when he heard Byleth's request.

A hug? Ashe couldn't remember the last time he actually hugged someone, including his siblings that it took him by surprise he accidentally broke the egg in his hand.] Ahh! Sorry about that! {Ashe gave Ky a reassuring look before going over to the sink to wash his hands. He turned to the gear as he shyly nodded. Yes, I can do that.

[A hug after so long sounded nice.]
