The look on Rebecca’s and Zeke’s face was one that had Hark chuckling, which turned into laughter when the young human was grabbed by the legendary. Those two.
And while he lowered his ears because she was indeed a little loud, he smiled. He smiled as the Emerald returned to him before two rhythmic pulses and leaving, making the Wurmple struggle in the air for a moment before landing in Hark’s hands, now chirping in indignation.
…Well.
He looked to Triton with a chuckle and said, “It’s times like these where I wonder if we’re all weird.”
Triton gave Hark a look that clearly said ‘You think?’ before trotting over and plopping against Hark’s lap, his finned tail flopping on the ground behind the other.
Rebecca put her headphones back on once Zeke got his fill of nuzzles, softly snorting.

“Affectionate, lazy bum.”
Zeke let out a similar snort, causing the champion to roll her eyes.
