Second ☁ :: [Video/Action on Route 29]

[It's fairly late in the afternoon when Dash peeks into her communicator, attempting to brighten up the gray-skied day with a positively radiant grin. She looks quite pleased with herself!]

Hey, guys! Finally left that New Bark place! [She looks over her shoulder and sticks her tongue out-- a gesture apparently meant for the town she recently left

Huh--?! [She whirls around, startled. She didn't expect people to catch up that quickly! ... Even if she is awesome and all.

She recovers quickly (but nearly falls over on her still-wobbly legs), peering down at the girl with a grin.] Heh! Thanks!

[... O-oh geez. With a second look, she's noticing that girl... could likely end up drowning in snow if she gets a bit too close. She steps closer and places her hands on her hips, looking Kaitlyn over. The Ponyta whinnies and trots over to Kaitlyn. Enjoy the convenient heater that is the firepony!]

Heheh... Aren't you a little small to be traveling on your own?

[action]

[used_defog]

[G-gulp...]
Wow, you, uh... Really are small. [She was hoping you were just physically small! Children aren't something she's exactly experienced with.]

Yeesh... So... Your folks aren't here with you? [She brings a hand to her chin in thought. What to do...?]

[action]

[used_defog]

[She nods slowly.]
Riiiight... Okay. Sorry, filly, but no, this probably isn't Filgee-uh. At least, I don't think so... B-but don't worry! I mean... This is like a vacation, kinda! Ever been camping? It's like that!

... Does that mean you've never seen snow before...?

[action]

[used_defog]

No camping? ... N-no oceans or plants...? [You've blown her mind, strange little girl.] I mean, I don't live by the ocean and don't see it a lot, but I didn't think things could even work without it...

[P-pause.]

... Oh. Well, ya know... Those raccoon things around here can be bad guys, if you want! [Meaning the Sentret, which she's battled a few times, mercilessly, already. Rainbow Dash: best role model ever.] Or those floating pink things! [Hoppip.] They're kinda creepy. And you can beat 'em all up with your-- [It's now that she notices the Teddiursa.]

Well heeey! This the Pokingmon you started off with? Hee... Looks like a tiny Ursa Minor...

[action]

[used_defog]

[THAT IS SAD. I AM SAD.]

Heh! He's so cute! [B-blink. She did not just say that.] I mean, uh... Y-yeah... Is he good at battling?

[Also, Mister Teddiursa, have a firepony trotting on up to sniff curiously at you and your trainer~]

[action]

[used_defog]

Yeah? [She raises an eyebrow at the Teddiursa, giving a small smirk. She's got respect for things that are small, but manage to kick butt all the same.] Awesome.

[Blaze eventually whinnies cheerfully, and returns to Dash's side. You have been approved by the firepony!]

Alright, so... You got a name?

[action]

[used_defog]

Rainbow Dash!

[The Ponyta gives a resounding, "Nyyyy!"] Oh! And this is Blazing Bolt!

[action]

[used_defog]

Heh, thanks! [Though she'd prefer "awesome" to "pretty" any day! Eh, she'll let Kaitlyn slide.]

Right back atcha! [She and Blaze look over Kaitlyn and her Teddiursa again, heads tilted. Dash shares quite a few mannerisms with the firepony.] Hey, uh... You weren't gonna wander around this place with just your Teddiursa, were you?
