Dove sighed quietly as she locked her apartment door behind her, shifting her hold on her bag and checking to see that the pokeball on her hip was secure before setting off into town. The day before had been spent in mostly solitude and much needed rest, as she still couldn't bring her mind to allow a full night of uninterrupted slumber. Though she had at first been unsure of leaving the loft, Rosie's surprising appearance and encouragement the night before had given her at least a little hope of returning to the outside world, and even thoughts of visiting Luke--though she was terrified of how he might react to her presence-- had crossed her mind. Glancing down to Lovey to make sure she was at her heels, she started down the pathway, deciding on slowly figuring things out as she went.
The events of the past week or so had been horrific-- that much was blatantly obvious to anyone who had been involved. Had it not been for Inigo and Rosie, she wasn't even sure she would still have the courage to stay in the region, but somehow, by some miracle, she found she was determined to stay, at least long enough to see Luke's recovery through and, Arceaus willing, set things straight with the rest of her friends.
As she walked through the park on her way to the more populated area of town, she paused, a hand falling frustratedly to her face as Lovey took off running. Raising her head to scold the little eevee, she paused, words dissolving on her tongue as she realized what had excited her companion. Standing her ground, with an uneasy, unsure look on her face, she watched as Lovey stopped in front of and greeted a very familiar growlithe. Her hold on the strap of her bag tiightened as the firetype's counterpart appeared, her face washed in wary, nearly ashamed emotion.

Lovey settled quietly onto the path by her trainer's feet, tucking her head down into her paws.
Moments passed, and her head fell, her eyes falling to her own feet. "I shouldn't have said some of the things I said," she started, her grip on her bag strap tighter than ever. "I can't even remember a lot of it... All I know is that Luke was so upset, and I panicked because he did, and then you were just...right...there, and I..." She paused again. "Everything has hit at once, and there's no escape from it... I'm not strong like you and the others. These things don't happen where I'm from, and I'm... scared."
Her heart clenched as she admitted the last words, her pride falling away and leaving her vulnerable. "Please don't hate me..."
