[corporal]

( Levi, save for his height impairment, is not difficult to spot while he's pacing a small patch of grass on Route 11. In an effort to better understand his existing collection of Pokémon (read: all two of them) he'd been doing a great deal of reading through his Pokédex; initially he possessed little interest in researching outside the scope of Pokémon he already had, but his attention was drawn to one within the many listings. One, due to its (albeit not very detailed) description, that he desired to obtain. (Also, there was a freshness to the air outside that he could not get enough of -- though he wasn't exactly going to admit that).

It was for this reason that Levi now stood, eyes narrowed and brow furrowed, in front of a patch of grass on this particular route -- where he'd been told to go by his research. There was an underlying problem in the man's plan, however; that being that he'd never actively attempted to capture a Pokémon. As fate would have it, the only ones he did in fact own had been graciously given to him.

He did not know where to begin. Levi was not a man accustomed to being new at shit, and even being in this place did not change that fact. He was waiting, then, at the edge of the grass, as he watched his Purrloin watch him. )

Well? You can find one, can't you?

( Yeah, he's showing pictures of the Pokémon he wants to his Purrloin right now. This is it. This is as low as it gets. He could ask someone, but who the fuck does that? Nope, he's sending his cat brigade on a fucking recon mission in some grass instead, with little idea how to actually capture what he wants if and when it appears.

Nobody tell him that his cats aren't even the appropriate level. )

[ Levi flashes her a very small smirk at her reply—good, he thinks, as he nods once; a slow and patient nod, as though he's using the gesture to seal the deal on the weight of this promise. ]

Then I'm going to hold you to that, Ral.

[ Levi has started to turn to go, and his Purrloin is close by—although she hurries off toward Petra soon enough, rubbing up against the girl's legs and weaving between them for a second as if to try to encourage her to follow. Levi is too much of a clueless asshole to think to invite Petra along at first; duh, she's got nowhere to stay—but his Purrloin's actions bring his attention to that fact. ]

Follow me and I'll show you a place to get a shower and some rest.

;WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW;

[She follows his actions curiously, possibly flashing him a small smirk in return without even realizing it and then she's smiling widely at him holding her to that promise.]

Then I'm glad, corporal!

[Wait, where are you going? Can she follow? She's about to anyway, without orders even, because there's no way she's going to let him out of her sight now. The cat, who's rubbing her legs, seems to be saying the same message. She doesn't mind if Levi doesn't invite her with words, she can follow that kind of silent actions too.

Ehhh? Taking care of her like that now, are you, corporal? Petra opens her mouth. But what about the animals you were looking for - she could help look for them now, but no, that would be almost like disagreeing to go, so she shuts her mouth for that one.

Instead;]

Yes, sir, that sounds great. [She'd thank him later.]

[Now she just leans down to pet the cat for the tiniest moment because there's orders to follow but...] You know, just between you and me, I'd have followed him anywhere even if he hadn't said anything. [but these pets are still like a thank you to the cat before she straightens herself and is actually, really really ready to follow Levi anywhere. And yes, she knows that Levi probably hears those words, but that's okay!]
