"Ooh, ouch. Kinda clumsy aren't you?" [Esteban asks, and though there's an edge of a tease, he's also genuinely concerned. Seems to him that Harry gets into quite a few scrapes, with or without meaning to.]
[He winces slightly in sympathy just as Punk reaches her little paw across, and Esteban welcomes the gestures, extending his arm to give her a better perch when his companion invites her. Punk scampers happily down and across the bridge, hopping into the young man's arms as she nuzzles and sniffs at him in curiosity. Esteban is quick to grin as he sees her making friends.]
"She likes t' be held inside hoodies~" [the redhead hints,] "or in hoods. She'll clamber on your shoulders oth'rwise. She's less playful an' more friendly, so she'll probably start guidin' you where she wants t' go once she's settled."
[At least she isn't overly heavy. It's a bit hard to miss when she moves about on her new perch, but her weight isn't difficult to hold.]
"Congrats on y'r friend bein' first place! What kinda contest did they do?" [Just because Puppy is now too big, doesn't mean Esteban is completely off the contest scene. He loves hearing about all kinds of pokémon shows, and his eagerness is easy to detect in the grin that he sends his companion, the cheer that lifts his voice.]
[Gently, he starts aiming the both of them down a nameless passage, where their rowdier 'mons had slipped to in their game of tag, just to keep up with them a bit. Grumpy follows readily, but he never looks up as he beats his little club onto the nearby wall, providing a soft tak-tak-tak echo as they walk.]
