[Envy catches her while she's stuck in line at the Pokemon Center-- it's a busy night apparently and while none of her Pokemon are particularly worse for the wear, she walked all the way to the Center so she might as well get them healed up before coming home.]
[Whatever she was expecting to hear about, it wasn't another SURPRISE AUGUST RETURN.]

He's back?
... Are you okay?
[Her initial thought of 'Oh good, boyfriend's feral baby bro is back, they were all really sad about that' fades out when she takes note of the tension in his voice. It's different than the kind of tension she's learned to recognize when the arrival is one of his blond blood-brothers. She... maybe hasn't heard this one before.]
