Once he was on his feet, she let go of his hand, moving it to rub at her own arm before looking down at the pokemon pawing at her leg for her attention. Quietly, she scooped Lovey from the ground, glad to have something to do with her hands as she walked, leading the way to her home.
Though she kept her eyes mostly on her feet (and certainly not on the poor boy beside her), she spoke to him softly, trying to do her best to quell the silence without upsetting him further. "It isn't too far from here...Just a little ways up the road," she told him, nodding in the direction she headed. "It's not much, and I don't have guests usually--" or ever, she thought to herself; Luke would be her first since she had completely settled in--"--but it's warm and I've got tea and things..."
She quieted then, tucking Lovey's head under her chin and letting her eyes fall again. Why was she so bad at this sort of thing...?

Once at the (very) top of the flight of stairs, Dove let Lovey loose to draw her key from her bag, opening the door to reveal the modest flat she now called home. Lovey immediately let herself in, headed toward her favorite chair near the now vacant fireplace.
Though modest, the apartment was well decorated and very comfortable, much more than enough for the usual homeowner. The girl had been sure to see to it that it accommodated her lifestyle, though it was by far much less ornate than the surroundings that she had grown up in. Shrugging her coat off, she led him into the living area of the flat, stopping to hang her coat and bag before offering to take his. "Unless you're still cold," she said, offering a small smile, teasing gently. "You did say you were out there a while..."

After hanging the jackets on their hooks, the turned back to her bag and drew out a pokeball, releasing Sparky into the room close to Lovey. Stretching, the typhlosion let out a yawn, the flames on his neck low, but flaring at the release of tension along his back. At a soft greeting yip from Lovey, the fire-type nodded once to her, then started a fire at the hearth before turning to his trainer.
Noticing the young man beside her, however, Sparky paused, his eyes locked on the head of red hair. Dove shook her head, stepping forward to set a hand on his head. "Calm down, you. Luke is a guest," she softly scolded, making a face at him.
Shooting an apologetic look to Luke, she patted the pokemon's head fondly. "He's...very protective. My, um..." She broke off, looking away a moment before tucking her hair back. "My ex trained him to trust almost no one around me, especially men...."
Shoot. She hadn't meant to drag her own troubles into things. The day was gloomy enough as it was...

Sparky continued to watch the boy a moment longer, finally turning around with a soft huff of acceptance and settling next to Lovey near the hearth, though the smaller pokemon curled up in the center of the armchair.
Stepping into the kitchen area of the flat, Dove offered a weak smile over the counter. At least he seemed to be feeling a little better, she thought. He was still quiet, but at least he was talking now, to some extent. "It probably wouldn't be so hard to train him if I had done the training myself..." she admitted, her smile fading quickly as a distant memory returned, only to be replaced by a light flush of her cheeks. "I only ever trained for contests, never for battling when we were younger. My ex had a lot to do with how powerful Sparky is...I think he really misses fighting, though," she added, regarding the fire-type for a moment. "Fortunately for us, he hasn't seen much action here so far..."
She pulled open the cabinet, then, stretching to reach for the mugs above her head. "Would you like a drink? I have...pretty much everything..."
