Pokemon and Pain recovery 2: electric boogaloo

Natalia slid one arm around Adrian's shoulders and puller her friend closer to her so the cosplayer would rest her head on her shoulder. "Come on Adrian-chan... Don't beat yourself over it..." the blue-eyed cutie said trying to comfort Adrian. "You are a very good fighter..." Natalia said but complimenting other people was not something she was good at. "You just need training. And calm down..." Natalia said suddenly sounding slightly doubtful. She though for a moment of saying that 'there are more important things than winning' but she just couldn't. It was something with she couldn't say and sound sincere. "... And you are a great person, Adrian-chan... You just have a weird way to show it..."

"...thanks Nat..." she said sadly, she did appreciate the effort that the Dream was putting forward but it didn't really make her feel much better. It had been training that made her meet Taylor in the first place. "If I do train... could you help me out if I asked nicely? So I don't run the risk of seeing meanies?" she asked, maybe learning from Natalia would help.

Natalia pouted, she knew she wasn't the best when it come to offer support and boost other people's confidence. Most of the time she was trying to do exactly the opposite, and she was very good at that. Support words weren't her forte, but fortunately trainning was.

"Of course I'll help you!" Natalia said while she kept holding Adrian. "Actually... We could use a private gym out of the city I know. If you want to avoid meeting jerks, that's the purrfect place!"

"Maybe later..." Adrian said putting away some of the food so she could try and dive under the warm covers, slightly hard to do with Natalia still hugging her.

"Very well..." Natalia said, taking Adrian's bowl to put it away on a table and then she helped her friend to get under the covers, moving back and pulling them up so all but Adrian's head will be wrapped in like a cocoon
. Then she laid besides Adrian and caressed her side. " want me to let you sleep?"

"Mmm..." Adrian grunted in reply, snuggling deep into her blankets. She really did need all the sleep she could get after her experience but still, she didn't want to be alone "Could you... you know..." she began to ask, why'd it have to be so awkward "Sleep in the same bed? Don't wanna be left alone." she yawned out, still feeling slightly drowsy.

Natalia couldn't help but giggle at Adrian's request. She didn't had though about where she was going to sleep now that Adrian was taking her bed, so she was more than happy to stay. Still, she didn't wanted to make Adrian feel uncomfortable, so Natalia decided to stay over the covers while her friend remained under them. The blue-eyed cutie left the food on the side and hugged her friend with one arm from behind, resting her head beside's Adrian, cuddling with her, and then reached with one arm to turn of the light.

Adrian felt a bit safer when Natalia snuggled up to her, the Dream's body heat adding to her own as she gave one last sad look to her bandaged hand before slipping off to dreamland.
