Peacock had closed her eyes, but it only lasted for a few seconds.
“You’ll come back to the village though, right?”
She turned her head. “What?”
“Erm- The village. Aren’t you coming back?”
She was silent for a few moments. “I… Hadn’t really thought about it.”
Rei didn’t reply. Peacock glanced at him. He was getting something out of his satchel. “Here.” He said, handing something to her. “It’s food, like bread and stuff.”
She took it and looked inside. Closing it again, she said, “But why? This is yours, I can’t just take it.” He pushed it towards her.
“Well, if you’re not coming back to the village, there’s no reason why you should have to keep eating… Whatever you’ve been having.” He stood up. “I’m going to head back.” He didn't look at her and turned away.
“Wait!” She quickly stood up, almost stumbling. Rei looked hopefully over his shoulder. “I’ll… Come to the village tomorrow.”
He fully turned around. “Really!?”
Peacock hadn’t expected him to react so quickly. “Erm- Yeah. It might be hard and overwhelming but… I probably won’t feel any better if I just keep avoiding people.”
Rei grinned. “That’s great! I can get things ready, like try and fix up your house and ask Benni to make Potato Mochi and-”
“Rei.”
“Tell Celine and Professor Laventon that you’re back and-”
“REI.” He stopped.
“Oh, uh- Yes?”
“I don’t want a big welcoming party, I just want to go back normally.” Considering she got overwhelmed and had a breakdown from only two questions, Peacock didn’t want to know what would happen if it got worse.
“Oh… Sorry about that.” He sounded disappointed, but she could tell that he was still excited that she was coming back. “What time? Where? Are we meeting up or are you just going to walk in.”
“How about we meet up near the entrance at midday?” He nodded.
“I’ll see you tomorrow then!” He rushed off.
Peacock picked herself and the bag up. She felt a mix of emotions: Happy that she won’t be alone anymore, but still very afraid of what she’ll be met with. ‘As long as I can avoid Kamado, I should be fine.’ She wandered off towards where she had spent the night.

“AROMA!”
Peacock was startled awake when something hit her in the side. “OW!” She jumped back, rubbing her ribs. Rediaroma was standing a foot or two away. “What!?”
“Redia!” She lifted one of her leaf arms upwards. Peacock shielded her eyes as she looked up.
“What? I don’t see anything. It’s about the middle of the day and-” Peacock stopped. “Oh- Dang it!” She scrambled over to her satchel and put it on. “Come on, we need to hurry!” She tapped her Pokemon with her PokeBall and quickly put it away. Playing her flute, she hopped onto Wyrdeer.
A minute or two later she traveled next to the stream and got off. “Thanks Wyrdeer!” She patted his shoulder and headed towards the entrance. Rei was sitting and playing with his Pikachu with his finger. Pikachu perked up his ears when Peacock came over and ran up to her.
“Pika!” He sniffed her legs and nudged her foot with his nose.
“Hey!” She said, picking him up. She was careful not to touch his electric cheek pouches. He hopped onto her shoulders. Rei stood up.
“It looks like Pikachu missed you.” He laughed. She held him carefully and handed him back to Rei.
“So are you ready to go in? I can’t promise that you won’t get any strange looks.”
Peacock glanced inside the village. “Yes.”
