Zack is so very happy to see you that he'll pause in his quest to say hello to all the things for more than a minute. He's leaning in as if he hasn't had a good scratch in the longest time even though he has.

Hazel pauses to pick up an Eevee, that doesn't seem inclined to follow on its own like her other Pokémon, on her way over to them. It doesn't seem happy about this and pouts grumpily.

"Jack. It's uh, been a while, hasn't it?" Ignore the disgruntled Eevee. He loves his trainer, really. He just wishes she would pick him up less. The joys of being small and fluffy with a dislike of too much cuddling.
