>*The morning feels like it comes too soon, and you find yourself wanting to rest just a bit longer, momentarily forgetting the current situation. Eventually, you feel it's no use trying to fall back asleep while it's so bright. You open your eyes...*
>*...And see a blue puppy staring back at you.*
>*You quickly sit up in your bedroll.*
<"Who-"
<...Oh yeah.
>*You try your best to ask the dog where they came from. They don't seem to get it, just staring up at you.*
<Ok. I'm sure someone will put up a sign or something looking for you...
>*You stare at it for a little bit. There's no name tag on it that you can see...*
<...Hey where...
>*You realize your bell is missing. You spend a few minutes looking around for it, and you hear it somewhere so surely it's around...*
>*The ringing again. But this time you see where it's come from.*
>*You turn the ribbon that's on the pup's neck around to the front. Sure enough, your bell is afixed to it.*
<...Ah. Ok. No search effort needed then.
<"Greet."
>*You wave to them. They ring back in response. You bring your hand in front of them, expecting the pup to sniff like Oddish yesterday. Instead, they go straight for your lap and rub your head on you.*
<Aww you're a sweet little guy.
>*They'll need a name...*
<"I've got it."
>*It doesn't take you long to decide on the perfect name. Chrominance.*
>*You pull out your journal and write it down, and show them.*
<...Why would I think you could read this.
>*Strangely, Chrominance seems to be able to read just fine, and looks up and nods at you.*
<...Oh. Ok.
>*You figure it's probably about time to go visit Fantasia and Lilia again to ask about travelling.*
<"Pack up."
>*You gather up your small camp, Chrominance helping where they can. They seem pretty smart for a pup. You then set off for Fantasia and Lilia's house.*
>*The more time you spend with Chrominance, the more it feels almost like you're seeing an old friend for the first time in awhile.*
