"Thank you." She smiles at him gratefully. Not just for the chai, but for keeping her company.
She gives her order to Ice Bear, and if the ursine waiter was concerned about how she's doing, he'll be relieved to see that some color has returned to her face. In addition, she asks for a little bowl of water for Bucky, in case he's thirsty.
"He's a braviary," she explains. "A kind of pokémon. When I first started pet-sitting him, he was a rufflet, but he evolved. I started pet-sitting him and two other pokémon after their owner was injured and needed to heal off-world. I've bonded with all of them, but Bucky is especially protective of me. He checks on me every time I visit the Nexus. He's a very dear friend."
She smiles fondly at Bucky, who is quietly preening a feather and pretending not to soak up Adia's praise.
