[As Miror talks, Hilda looks as discreetly as possible at Paprika, anxious to see how her brave efforts are coming along. But the face she's wearing makes the corners of Hilda's mouth crack. She has to use a lot of willpower to keep the smug grin intact - hopefully Miror will continue to think it's him she's smirking at, and not wonder what behind him is so funny. She just wants to give Paprika a big, sympathetic pat on the back.
The gravity of the situation comes back to her, though, when she notices N's tense posture. They're treading dangerous waters and she knows it's a horrible gamble, but they need to be flashy and stall somehow, so Paprika can succeed. Maybe they can even think of something to do about Miror's Claydol in the meantime... but that's probably too much to hope for. Still, if Paprika can have her Pokemon back, that's already a big enough gain of territory.]
...Don't worry about what he says, N. I'm sure he's no match for your Pokemon.
