Zeb tilted his head. "You smell like you're lying. But that's okay." He smiled. "If you ever get lonely, I'm willing to talk to you. Because that's what friends do."
"And to quote Oromis from Eragon, 'You can't miss what you've never had'. Two can play at this game, you know."
Zeb almost squeed, but quickly composed himself. "Um. I mean. Don't you ever get lonely, though?"
"No." he wrote quickly.
Zeb tilted his head. "You smell like you're lying. But that's okay." He smiled. "If you ever get lonely, I'm willing to talk to you. Because that's what friends do."
"There is nothing to talk about." He stared defiantly at Zeb, as if he was expecting the other Pokémon to argue.
"Just because there's nothing to talk about now doesn't mean there won't be later." He grinned. "I'll see you around, Tacitus. And try not to be so glum about everything! You keep that up and you'll turn into my partner."
He shot Zeb the best irritated glare he could muster and walked away from the Luxray at a brisk pace.
