[fourteenhours]

[Coming across the snoozing boy wasn't what she'd had in mind at all when she'd reluctantly started her way down the route, but it was just yet another thing on the list of "Things Karina Couldn't Have Possibly Dreamed Of Happening".

...Well, it could be weirder.

After all, he had the right idea, at least, cozied up on the grass there. He'd even set his meals within reach! Everyone knows that getting up because your stomach was growling was one of the worst feelings, like your legs were fighting against you the whole while.

It takes a minute of staring, but Karina comes to a conclusion relatively quickly. Her bag is dropped unceremoniously to the ground, and should Beezy or the Munchlax stir they would quickly find the lazy girl curled up asleep on her side next to them, apparently having only taken enough care in choosing her spot so she wouldn't squish the berries.]

[beezybub]

[Judging from Beezy's impressively loud snoring, he was a heavy sleeper and wouldn't likely notice Karina. Luckily though, his Munchlax was more of an eater than a sleeper, and was aroused from its slumber.

....Huh, there's one more person here than before. Weird. Should he be concerned? Should his trainer be concerned? We just don't know.

Thankfully, the Pokémon decided to ask, and slowly started to shake his trainer awake. That took a while though, but he did succeed in waking up Beezy.]

...Ah, hey there little fella. [Pat pat on the pokemon's head. Beezy had very quickly come to like his new traveling buddy.] Hungry again?

[The Munchlax shook his head, pointing to the new addition to their resting spot. Beezy, sufficed to say, was very confused.]

...Uh, heeeeeeey... [His voice trailed away. Who was this person?] .....You.

[fourteenhours]

[Luckily his snoring hasn't allowed her to sleep very deeply, so once her mind clues her in on the fact that he's addressing her, Karina's lids drift open again, apparently trying for the bare minimum of wakefulness.]

Karina...

[It's with a sigh that she rights herself and resumes her sleepy staring.]

I was hoping you would sleep for longer. Like six more hours...

[beezybub]

Oh... [He nods slowly, as if that makes sense to him. Spoilers, it doesn't.]

Beezy! [He states with a smile, even if she didn't ask for his name.] Oh, usually I sleep more than that. I could sleep all day if I wanted to, isn't that right?

[The question was directed to his pokemon, who replied with an unhelpful "Munchlax, munch"]

Exactly.

[fourteenhours]

[Did her heart just skip a beat?]

That'd be great... [Karina yawns, then attempts at a stretch. She gives up halfway. It doesn't even occur to her that she could be the reason Beezy was woken up -- that type of thing would just be the worst to inflict on another sleep-lover.

Instead, her curiosity turns to the Munchlax, which earns a point.] You can speak to monsters...?

[beezybub]

[I don't know, did it?]

Oh, him? [Eyes are on Munchlax, who is staring at both of them confusedly. Or, at least it could be confusion; it's more like a blank stare.]

He and me have a special understanding, a real bond if you will. You see, he loves sleeping and eating just as much as I do!

[The perfect pair.]

[fourteenhours]

[These two are perfect and Karina is starting to perk up a little at their presence. She'd never met anyone with the same sleeping habits as her before.]

Ha ha... That's a really good monster, then. [Much better than any of the ones she'd heard about... Except that cute, soft Golden Wooly.] Mine's more like a nightmare.

[More importantly -- ]

Hey. Can I eat some of the berries, too?

[beezybub]

[They certainly think they're perfect. And if Karina wants to think that, all the more power to her.]

He's a lot nicer than the monsters I know too! Doesn't try to eat me or anything. [...Probably talking about Heloise's experiments. It's a long story.

He looks over at a pile of fresh berries, and seems to be seriously thinking this question over.]

Hmm......... Okay! Since you're cool and all, help yourself.
