She evolved? [Thomas considers that quietly for a moment. He is fairly sure that the 'evolution' he is vaguely familiar with doesn't work that way, but biology was never a big interest of his. He grins proudly when he hears that he's been training her correctly, instantly forgetting any possible discrepancies.] Well, I'm glad for that, then!
[But his grin fades when he remembers the Pidgey. He glares over at it in an 'I have met the enemy and it is a large sparrow' kind of way. The fact that N is simply amused by the predicament isn't lost on him. This is serious! The bird pecked at his head! And flapped its wings in his face! And it took his backpack hostage! Oh, right, and also the egg! It's got that, too!] Yes, I just thought I'd wander around near the city gate, get Dodge' and Ratter some exercise. You know, in the tall grass. I'm not too far off, really. You'll come? [He smiles a bit more desperately than the situation should probably require.] I'll just... have a seat over here... No, no, no, don't move, bird, I'm not going over there. ...Okay. [He sits down on the ground a good 15 feet from the Pidgey and watches it warily.] Okay, good, I will wait here for you.
