Aya couldn't help but watch the flying type's antics. It must have been a bother for Mamoru but to be honest Aya mostly just found it amusing. With preparations for Dinner finished she was free to see if she could help, though. She picked up her egg and moved to do just that. Since Riolu almost hatched without her notice she didn't intend on chancing that with this one.

Sneasel, always out of her ball, was right beside Aya, watching Togepi with some amusement. They weren't friendly creatures but Aya's Sneasel at least considered their travel companions to be part of her pack, so worth protecting just as much as picking on.
