A Day with Marley

... ... ...

Do you want me for something?

[Option 1] I didn’t think anybody would be out here.

[Option 2] I was talking with my partner Pokémon.

I just wanted some time alone with Arcanine.

It’s noisy outside of the forest... We can’t talk if it’s noisy.

[Option 1] No, it’s OK. Rather...

[Option 2] No, it’s OK. Rather...

Thanks.

[Option 1] I mean...thank you for being considerate...

[Option 2] I mean...thank you for being considerate...

I try not to apologize too much.

You feel better being thanked than being apologized to, right?

Do you...understand what I’m trying to say?

[Option 1] Good, that’s a relief.

[Option 2] *sigh* ...Words are difficult.

I’m...very scared of conveying my feelings in words...

Even if I don’t mean to, I end up hurting people.

But I have so many things that I want to tell them.

That’s why I want to take as much time as I can to talk with Arcanine.

Arcanine...

I can’t... The words don’t come out.

[Option 1] This is still too fast for me.

[Option 2] This is still too fast for me.

I’m not confident that I can communicate well.

But...

I know what I have to do in these situations.

A certain Pokémon taught me...

that all you need to do is say thank you and give a flower to somebody you love.

She told me that would be enough.

I was thinking of going to find some flowers, but what do you think?

Am I expressing myself all right? *giggle* I’m glad.

I really appreciate you following me. Thank you.

One of these days, I’ll make sure to thank you properly.

I love you, Arcanine. Please stay with me always.
