"Mm, maybe that's true. That doesn't change the fact that I like you, though." Still, somehow, that answer felt inadequate. She didn't love him, like she did Saber, but...

"...Um, sorry. I'm still clumsy when it comes to expressing my feelings. I didn't feel anything, for a very long time. But then there was a person, and when I met him..."

As she spoke, her own gaze drifted downward, a girlish blush rising to her cheeks. But— This was about Walter, not Saber. "W, well, the way I feel about him and the way I feel about you are completely different. But, the time you told me that someone tried to hurt you, I got upset, and when you trusted me enough to tell me about the Order, I felt happy. I think that I'd call you my first true friend."

Walter ducked his head, hiding behind his hair.

"...I haven't had a friend in a long time. I still don't know how to be a friend. With you, and certain others... I want to be. It's easier with Pokemon." Humans are untrustworthy and dangerous and he just didn't understand them very well. He'd never had the chance to build a relationship like this, not since his youth. And with Pokemon, it was easier. They weren't complicated like people. And the Pokemon he had were genuine with him. It easier to understand their wants and needs and to meet them, and receive their affection in return.

The proof was around him. Claudia gave a soft trill, pressing her cheek to his hand.
