He lets out a soft hum as her fingers dance along his arm. Tail moving to curl around them, the bolt shaped end of his appendage lay lazily by their feet. Nodding slightly at her question, he’s mindful of the bottom of his chin brushing against the top of her skull with his action.
“Yeah, it’s so quiet, I like when it’s like this. It shows you another side of the forest.” The normally vibrant and somewhat live woods was now silent, the very creatures who inhabited it sleeping, well… most of them. His own ears twitch, and if he focused he could easily pick out specific sounds of certain Pokémon that were nocturnal by nature waking up to go about their evening. However, the Raichu’s attention was elsewhere and she currently sat comfortably in his arms.
“Ah…” Thor rolls his eyes up and off to the side, cheeks flushing warmly at her ending statement. It’s a good thing she can’t see his face right now. He smiles through his blush and lets out a happy sigh before giving his response.
“Plus, things are always better when sharing it with people you care about. I know I told you before but,” he pauses for a moment to hug her a bit firmly against him while tilting his head slightly so his cheek was pressed against her head as he begins to nuzzle her softly. ”I really missed you Elysia.” He missed moments like this. Just them enjoying each other’s company and relaxing. During times like these, precious moments shared between simply the two of them, he felt at peace.
After a while Thor stops rubbing his cheek against her head and straightens up, placing his chin back in its designated spot between her ears. Now he’s curious about all the things she’s been up to during their time spent away from one another.
“Sooo, how have things been with your group? Are Eva, her mate & the kids ok? How’s Gale? You should bring him with you next time, we miss him, Glitch would be thrilled. Nobody’s been giving you any trouble right?”
There’s always been this warm blanket of security whenever Thor would hold her close. A protection and comfort that even all the members of her group had never provided. And when his hug is accompanied by the way his tail wraps around her? Well, she’s far too ecstatic. Her tail bobs happily back and forth before she calms it down. Not wanting to accidentally swat him with it. Instead she angles it around herself so she can rest it atop his own.
But it’s the faint nuzzle, the comment of how much he missed her, that causes her to feel so much warmer. It’s a good thing she’s facing the other way cause Thor would undoubtedly notice how red her face just got.
“ I missed you also, Thor-dear. ”
“Life is just so dull when you’re not around. And you always make me so happy.”
It’s true. She loved her group. Despite the obvious flaws in many of their logic, their fear of outsiders, and more. She may still have lots of problems -- the group still hated Gale, a majority anyway, and she was often forced to fend for herself. Unless Eva was able to watch him. But aside for the ‘bad moments’ she still was fond of them. But Thor? he was different. She always felt so at ease with him. Like she could tell him anything.
The nuzzling is met with her leaning her head up closer. And when the nuzzling stops and Thor just settles his chin there she closes her eyes and sinks back more into him. Focusing more on him right now than the stars and moon. Instead listening as he asks a few questions about how things are going in her life.
“Eva and her family are all okay. Lively as ever. Gale has gotten a bit bigger. He’s starting to realize he’s not a Pichu. But he’s still too young for that talk--” Mostly she was worried about how she’d tell him and what he’d think about knowing he was a ‘predator’ that her group spoke on frequently. “-- But he’s been asking if we can see you soon. And I’m sure he’s missed you. He really does look up to and admire you.” That baby Spearow. Always wanting to talk about Thor and asking her if she thought Thor would find certain things cool. Like days prior where he jumped up and caught a fruit and excitedly asked her if Thor would be impressed. He definitely looked up to the Raichu. Which, in her eyes, was good. If Thor was his role model she’d support it. “And me? Well, the usual. Still not many of the group are supporting poor Gale and myself. So I have to make sure I gather myself enough for the both of us. But Eva has been helping out. She’s actually nest-sitting Gale and her Pichu right now.”
Eva may be hyperactive, talkative, and always gossipy. But she was a good friend.
“And what about you, Thor-dear? How have you been these days? Have you been training? Going off on lots of adventures? Is Glitch doing well?” Her questions are met with her turning her eyes up back towards the sky finally. “And we need to do this more often. Sitting like this. It’s nice.”
