From the other room, the sound of paws hitting the floor draws Goh’s attention behind him just as Umbreon enters the kitchen. She pauses right in front of him and sits down, eyes boring into him.

He crunches into his toast. She stares.

It’s never occurred to him before, but as Umbreon continues to size him up, he wonders if Gary learned that trick from her, or if she learned it from him. Whichever way it goes, as he finishes the second slice of toast, he decides it’s a lot more intimidating when Umbreon does it.

“A ‘thanks for breakfast’ would’ve sufficed.”

“Maybe if you’d put something a little more gourmet than butter on it, I would’ve.” Goh steps back, shrugging. “Let me know when you’re ready to go. I’ll be busy swallowing my stupid pride in the meantime.”

He leaves the kitchen, steadfastly ignoring the way both Umbreon’s and Gary’s eyes follow him as he goes. He gives himself credit for the fact that jaw only clenches a little bit when he hears Gary say to her just before the bathroom door slams shut, “Think I should’ve told him to do something about that stick up his ass too?”
