To find our place (abandoned, at least for now)

Shy and soothing || Ch 8

In the room, I put Roxy onto the pad once again. I sit down in front of Roxy's egg and pet the shell. "When are you going to hatch?" I feel Spring has put his hand on mine, "I think she'll hatch soon. It took around a week for Noivy to hatch." Someone knocks on the door, and Spring gets up to see who there is, and I go too. There is a girl with diapered Sandsrew. Spring speaks. "Hello, can we help you?" The girl says, "I am looking for a person who reached the castle carrying a light brown egg with diamonds, brown as their hair, with another whose hair is short and black as obsidian." I look at Spring; He matches that second description. And I think the other one is me. I think Spring is thinking the same. "Then, I think you are looking for us," he says and waves toward us. Spring takes a few steps to the side. They walk in, and Spring says, "why are you looking for us?" "My name's Alice. I was searching for you because Cindy, my partner, was wondering who the strangers were and asked to meet you." Alice holds the Sandsrew in her lap, with a pacifier in Cindy's mouth. "I'm thivsty," Cindy says. "Oh, let's fix that. I have your baby bottle, sweetheart. Shall we?" Alice says, "avound people I dow't wkow?" I take a deep breath and say, "It doesn't bother me if you bottle-feed her." Spring says, "it doesn't bother me either. I do that to my pokémon friend all the time." "Is avother baby avound here?" Cindy asks. Alice says, "I think so." "Whew? Whew?" "My partner is a shiny Noibat, a baby like you," Spring says to Cindy. Alice says, "let's take your paci out for a moment," and pulls a yellow pacifier out of Cindy's mouth. "Where is the other poké-baby? I wanna play." Spring says, "she is sleeping."Noivy is sleeping in a small, cyan-colored, soft-looking bed. Alice comes after me. "Oh. Let me see," Cindy says, trying to get closer to Noivy. Alice says, "let her sleep. You can play later." "Aw," Cindy says. "Do you want milk, sweetie?" Alice says to Cindy. "Yeah."Alice takes a baby bottle full of milk and pushes it into Cindy's mouth, and Cindy starts sucking. "Good girl," Alice praises her. I say, "Spring, Noivy is waking up." Spring's
POV: I go to Noivy and take her in my lap. "Good morning, sweetie. Did you sleep well?" Noivy smiles, "aye." Then I retract the behind of Noivy's diaper and peek inside. "Okay, sweetie, no need for a change yet." "Mmh. Paci." "Here you go," I say and pop Noivy's pacifier in her mouth.
