"Oh, look! They've set out photos of the old subjects!" A cheerful voice from across the small clearing in the dome sounded in observation. Tennighy grunted to himself. I'd love to look, numbskull. Judging from the scent, it was a sentret-seelio hybrid. The dark-rock type curled his lip in disgust. He never liked the furret line, and this one was already getting on his nerves without even trying. "There's a big one of Butterfly, and Ghost! And..." The voice began to list off names that Tennighy didn't recognize, and he tuned the peppy pokemon out. He wasn't all that interested in the photos. After all, what use did he have of them? Not like he could use them for what they were intended for.
The list of names drifted in and out of his mind. "...Bellji, and Koomoon, and that weird helioptile-togekiss that was always being so annoying...a shiny inkay, I don't think I ever met that one? Layla and a vullaby-rufflet and a super skinny braviary with salamence wings..." Tennighy's ear twitched. Layla...?
The heavy eeveelution-hybrid stood up, plodding towards the hybrid listing the names. "Did you say Layla's photo was here?"
Tennighy must have looked intimidating, because he detected a slight tremor of the pokemon's voice, and the light tap noise as it took a step back. "Y-yes...why?"
"Which one?" His voice lowered to a growl. Tennighy lifted one of his front paws for the pokemon to guide him towards the photograph. "Show me," the armaldo-umbreon hybrid paused, then added softly, "...please."
The sentret-seelio hesitantly grabbed Tennighy's raised front paw and hopped forwards, pressing it to a small wooden frame. "It's th-this one," the hybrid stuttered, then backed away, watching quietly.
Tennighy ran his claw along the rough edges of the frame, feeling the prickle of small splinters. He lowered his head towards the photo, sniffing it gently before grasping it in his jaws. Without a sound, the male turned and walked back the way he had come, the photograph grasped tightly in his jaws. They can't have this...they can't have her. They can never have her.
