[Raven had hoped to make it to Violet City, the next major spot on her map, by yesterday. The weather and its increasing proclivity to ruin her day notwithstanding, she put Melody into her pokéball and soldiered on, pulling her coat tight against the wind.

Today? She thinks there's pretty much no hope left of reaching the city before nightfall. Can't tell when nightfall actually is, but she knows stopping would be more dangerous than pressing on. For someone who usually can't tell the difference between a slight chill and an icy river valley, this is unusually cold. She's too numbed and exhausted to care or think about why that's so wrong, at the moment.

There's also no chance in hell she's letting Melody out again while this weather continues. Tiny fragile precious bird. Of course, if the lights she might perhaps see in the distance aren't Violet City...she may lose that chance anyway.

Feeling as though she'll just keep slowing down if she doesn't do something, Raven pulls her gear from her coat pocket and fumbles with frigid, clumsy fingers to turn it on and get the words function going.]

I'm not certain. Normally storms die off after a few hours, but if anything this one is picking up as we speak.

[And he doesn't like that at all.]

It's been snowing for a long time.

[After that? She doesn't feel inclined to say much more. She will share a little of his vegetables (though she isn't at all hungry, just drained) without comment.]

Yeah. I hope that doesn't happen too often, or else we'll never reach the other cities.

[Normally he'd insist she eat more, but the whole situation isn't exactly inspiring. He munches on a carrot as he looks outside, frowning.]

[Though she doesn't want to be stuck in the cave forever, the idea of trying to get to the city now is unwelcome. She's content here in this weird nest of monsters, despite the stranger.

Melody is eating more than her trainer at the moment, giving worried but quiet chirps every so often.]

[Well, since Melody is eating somewhat properly, surely Princess the Staraptor can bounce up to her and offer her more! It's okay, Miss Trainer will surely feel better soon.]

[Miss Surly Trainer will feel a lot better after a proper night's sleep. If they can determine when night is, in this weather. Looking haphazardly at the assembled large team, Raven is glad she has only the one monster to eat the food. It feels...less bothersome.

It dawns on her that she doesn't know this man's name, either. If he told it to her, she can't remember it.]

[He hasn't, and he was too busy worrying to ask for hers, either. And now, he's too busy keeping an eye out for wild Pokémon to do so.]

[Wild pokémon han't even occurred to her. Raven finishes picking at the vegetables, offering the rest of her plate to the pokémon and looking over at her human companion.]

I want to go back to sleep. [This is like asking for permission without the question mark. He stopped her last time.]

You can, now. We've taken care of the most urgent issues; my team and I will deal with the rest.

[Such as potential wild Pokémon that are not hiding from the end of the world, if any can be found.]

[She just nods, half-curling back up on her makeshift pillow and trying not to disturb any of the pokémon around her. They've been...generous, and who knows how much longer they'll be stuck here?

Those thoughts carry her into a deeper sleep; she won't wake up again until her body decides it's morning.]

[If her body waits for actual light before declaring it's morning, she'll be sleeping forever.

But no matter how long it takes, he'll be there keeping watch.]
