[Ah. Dimitri understands, just a little bit, what her concern may be. Gently, he pats her head.]

They do. That's why me, and Felix, and Claude were all able to go get Nulls. Because they wanted to make sure some Nulls went to good homes where they might do better than in a lab.

Just like Ciannwn.

[Which is Dimitri's own Null - or, rather, Silvally, now, and who notoriously glows a bright red in the dark. She still seems quite content with things now, however, and the glowing doesn't seem to bother her sleep schedule, so...]

[candyapplechild]

[ Eri hums... a place where people try to find these creatures good homes, huh? It sounds nice... ]

I wonder if they'll let me have one...

[ Thus, she ends up thinking out loud. ]

[nastyboy]

Oh, of course! I bet they will. [Dimitri pats her head.] If you'd like, we could go over there right away when we arrive in Saffron.

And we could take a picture of the two of you together as well. I bet Felix would be glad to see that.

[candyapplechild]

[ Eri giggles, leaning her head into his pats. ]

Mm…! Okay!

[ Time for yet another addition into the Eri Protection Squad. ]

[nastyboy]

[It's fine. Probably. Dimitri just chuckles along with her.]

You'll have to think of a nice name for them, you know.

[candyapplechild]

[ Incredibly fine. Who wouldn’t want to be protected by a fucked up science dog? They’ll fit right in with everyone else, too. ]

Ooh, I’ll start thinking of some now! Um… hm…

[ She now leans her head back against Dimitri’s chest, eyes closed as she goes deep into thought. ]

[nastyboy]

[It's sweet, really, how hard she thinks.]

You know, you can ask for a specific typing of null, too. That's why Ciannwn is a fire type, and Khalid's is fairy.

[candyapplechild]

[ Names are important! Granted, her naming sense isn’t the greatest despite how hard she thinks, but still! It deserves that much thought! ]

Hmm… what type should I ask for, then…

[ What types does she already have again…? It’s hard to remember… ]

[nastyboy]

Well... which types are your favorite? That could be one place to start.

[candyapplechild]

Mnnn… I have lots of fairies… lots of punchies too…

[ Punchies = Fighting, of course. It was a strange combination in terms of favorite typings… but Eri loved both the cuteness of Fairy types and the strength of Fighting types… which can only be attributed to her choice of role models back home. ]

[nastyboy]

Then... you can come up with a name based off of faeries and punches! Or maybe even a name combining them both.

[candyapplechild]

Combining them…

[ That might be fun… though she evidently doesn’t have much in terms of an idea with that. ]

Mm… I think I gotta see them before I can decide…

[nastyboy]

Ha - of course, of course.

Then, do you want to go see them right away when the train stops, or should we wait a little bit? We can rest, get dinner, those sorts of things.

[candyapplechild]

[ Eri‘s eyes glimmer for a second. ]

Can… can we see them right away? Is that really okay?

[nastyboy]

Of course it is. We can just have the others check into the hotel, and dinner after.

[He pats her head again.]

But that might mean you'll feel hungry, okay?

[candyapplechild]

Mm, that's okay! I can eat later!

[ It might not be the best to miss out on food right after arriving... but she's just really excited about the Nulls. ]

[nastyboy]

Hmm, if you say so. But let's make sure you have a big lunch while we're on the train, okay?

[That'll help make it fine, right...?]

[candyapplechild]

Mm, okay!

[ It's always important to make sure you eat, after all! Eri's never been bad about eating her food, after all. ]

[nastyboy]

That's a good girl. Now then... is there anywhere else you'd like to go while in Saffron? It's a big city, after all. We can go anywhere you'd like.
