Daedra watched as Niel put all the bugs currently in his palm into her offered box. Once again, that delightful sensation of being a proper help to someone flooded the redhead, making her giddy and bouncy in her step. It was always such a pleasure for her to be useful, giving her a sense of purpose when she normally felt like she wandered aimlessly about the world.
Of course, deep down she knew these were just small kindnesses. Nothing really grand or something to change the world.... it was nice all the same.
The petite woman would have offered to help gather the little insects as well, but Niel seemed much more capable in the task. His hands were so quick, and he didn't seem to worry about using too much force to delicately pinch the little critters. It was like he was an expert! Or, perhaps that's why his company gave him such a unique task! It seemed he already had quite a collection in the container by the time be could get down to it.
"Ah... hang on," Daedra spoke up, noting how her companion seemed done and content with the mission. "Let's put some dirt and rocks in for the rolliepollies so it's not so barren for them!"
Gently taking the container from Niel, Daedra was back on her knees in the dirt, scooping up loose piles and taking little bits discarded in the environment to gently drop into the top of the bug container. Doing her best not to unintentionally bury any of the little inhabitants inside.
Taking things from historic places was -frowned- upon, but this was all broken plain bits from the Onix encounter - so surely it was ok! Plus, Niel was a scientist, and this was science~
When she thought the container seemed sufficient with enough 'decoration', the redhead offered it back to Niel with a smile. Granted, she had a feeling the little bugs might not be coming back home when his company was done, but no need to make their whole end trip miserable.
"Afraid of bugs? What do you mean?" Daedra asked curiously, before taking a glance back at Lulu.
As Niel claimed, the Lucario was doing her best to keep back from the crumbled wall. A bit of sandy specks trickled down from the rocky ceiling, speckling a bit of Lulu's puffy neck fur, to which she immediately bristled and started to try and brush every bit away.
"Oh, it's not bugs at all," the female trainer chimed up in amusement. "Pendra's a bug, don't forget! The two of them are very close! Lulu just doesn't like getting unnecessarily dirty... and there is a lot of dirt and sand here."
While Daedra would never make fun of her Pokemon companion about it, the redhead had always found it amusing. Lulu hated getting dirty, but it had never once stopped her when it came to winning a Pokemon battle. Whether a messy ground type or something slimy and poisonous, Lulu wanted a win more than she cared for her looks, every time.
Perhaps it was what separated the champion level Pokemon from the rest~
