˗ˏˋ 𑁍ࠬ ˎˊ˗ Perhaps the mention of Rex Lapis had been too much, any weaker god would surely fear him. Just look at how the little one had responded, ❝That was too much, I apologize,❞ she kneels down to the other's level extending her sleeved hand. An offering of peace to show the other that she was no threat.

Oh. Somehow, the human's voice was a little... gentler now. Ditto wasn't sure what they were saying, but, they offered a palm. Even wild, Ditto understood that sometimes humans did that to allow Pokemon to sniff them, as a sign of peace.
So, carefully, its pebble-like body softened and loosened, billowing back into its ordinary gelatinous form, and Ditto sniffed-- yes, sniffed, by inching forward and touching the human's fingers, gently. A thin membrane coated its body, cold to the touch, almost wet, yet the human would find her fingers remained dry even after touching a supposedly slimy creature.
It tilted its face up at her, confused. She was silent and hidden. But, was she still a Friend? Maybe Ditto should sniff again. It inched closer and closer, until it rested on her palm, and pressed its face close to her wrist. She smelled like leaves and wind. Maybe... kind of like a Shiftry? But, mixed with a Bellossom. Sweet and refreshing, but also mysterious. Ditto wasn't sure what to make of the smell.
