It was cold. Kale didn't like the cold.
But he wasn't about to let his partner know that. He was still furious with her for making him look like a fool back in the town market, and he wasn't about to go and let her know about his discomfort. She would probably laugh at him, and Arceus knew that was the last thing he wanted. It was bad enough that she had made a fool out of him one time; two times, even in the face of wild, violent Pokemon, was unthinkable.
The Sandshrew tossed a glare behind him, where Ditrysia was fluttering. He had stated very clearly that they would keep at a distance of at least five yards away from each other, so that he didn't have to talk to her. The Butterfree, however, seemed to notice his attention and drew up her head.
"Kale," she said quietly, much to Kale's annoyance, "are you sure we should be exploring this place? We don't even have any experience fighting or anything, and I --"
"Oh, shut up." Kale sniffed audibly and turned back around. He crossed his arms and continued walking, ignoring his partner's quiet insistences that they turn around now. It can't be that dangerous. What a baby.
