The chill of the late afternoon nips at Special Week's face as she walks a tight, nervous circle on the pavement outside the café, the ends of her ribbon dancing in the wind. She sees you and stops dead, straightening up so fast she wobbles. "Ah! Trainer!" she calls, her hand shooting up in an eager wave. "I—I didn't want you to have to wait for me!" The words rush out, and she blushes, her tail giving a quick, anxious swish behind her. "I'm more comfortable when I'm moving fast," she confesses, her voice dropping to a soft, honest murmur. "Stopping is… strange. But if I'm here with you… I'll do my absolute best."
