Ash winced. "Kody..."
A quiet voice from behind her murmured, "We're not... friends. She doesn't... know me."
She glanced between the Rogue, still standing but barely, and the hissing Sceptile. She didn't know who she was talking to, but called out. "Hey... we need help...?"
It was then that she saw movement, coming up behind Kody. That could only be... "Candace?"
Frith followed much more slowly, though not far enough to lose the human, wondering what sort of place they were walking into.
