[ Look, man, you show him a dog and he's going to treat it like a dog, no matter what Bianca says about its intelligence. All the weirdness in his life makes him cling all that more closely to signs of normalcy, and he's never known dogs to be productive conversationalists.

But he watches Stout through the conversation carefully. There's not really any doubt left after that. Her pets really do want to fight. The only abused animal here is him.

He sighs to himself and then stands back up, picking up the basket of fruit along the way. ]

Alright, you win. You can do what you want.

...this wasn't about winning. I just didn't want you to hate me. I didn't want things to be weird with my new friends!

[But she gets the feeling that even if Shiro understands now, it's still awkward. Maybe she will have to double-check with one of the guys before coming by after all. She sighs and stands up too, making a sign for Stoutland to follow her.]

Thanks for listening anyway. Send everyone my regards, please?

[They are a few steps away when suddenly she stops and turns to look at Shiro again over her shoulder, her expression soft.]

If you ever decide you do want to do something about your nightmares, you know how to contact me. The offer still stands.

[ He makes a noise of acknowledgment, but leaves it at that as he reopens the door and goes back inside.

The fact that her Pokemon actually like fighting might mean Bianca isn't a horrible monster, but it doesn't exactly make him comfortable with the idea of interacting with them more. Especially not in such an intimate way.

He kind of wishes he'd never brought it up with her in the first place. He should've known from the start that it was too good to be true. ]
