OLD: second [video/action for Cherrygrove]; backdated to 8/11
[Four days, and Ziva hadn't yet woken up to the dark, stuffy, nearly unbearably hot room that she'd spent the last month in.
She'd finally allowed herself to believe she might be safe--that this might be real.
Of course, just because she'd been suspicious of her circumstances didn't mean she was going to ignore them entirely--Ari was far too aggressive to be left untrained, and if she could handle his human namesake, she could certainly train a dog. By the time the two of them arrived in Cherrygrove, the Houndour was keeping to glares instead of growls. Better. She could deal with that.
She turns on the video feed for one simple reason--she doesn't know if Abby is there, and this seems to be the easiest way to find her. She's still a mess--there's no hairbrush or elastics to be found in Mom's bag so she'd had to make the best of it, and no water between the towns to bathe in. But she's wearing cleaner clothes at least, the trainer outfit she'd found in her bag might be weird and she's pretty sure if Tony were around she'd never hear the end of it--but they're clean and whole.]
Abby, Gus. I am in Cherrygrove.
[Waiting outside the Pokemon Center at that, Ari curled up at her feet and staring at anyone who gets too close, and her Hoothoot Lilit perched on one shoulder.]

Action!
[She still almost goes down though. Abby's taller than her, even without the shoes.]
Abby...!
[Gah losing balance]
Action!
[Never. Letting. Go.]
Action!
Yes, I am here.
[She's glad that Laila took it upon herself to sit on Ari's head and keep him from doing anything stupid. Smart owl.]
Action!
You're okay, right? You're not hurt? Tell me you're not hurt. I don't know what I'd do... Wait...the PokeCenter could help. I hope they take care of people too...
[She might not shut up at this rate.]
Action!
Abby! I am fine.
[Well, she's more on the thin side than usual, but totally upright on her own power and everything!]
Action!
[Ziva...this is you being dragged.]
Action!
[...well, at least she already got cleaned up somewhat thanks to Mihoshi dragging her inside. Better not to rail against Hurricane Abby.]
Abby, slow down.
[She'll follow you willingly, honest.]
Action!
He's such a good doggy.
Tony is busy eying the other Houndour and checking Ziva out at the same time. Don't ask how he's managinging.
He's Tony.]
Action!
[Ari just gives Tony a haughty glare. Eyes in front, mister.]
Action!
What do you want? I'll pay for it.
Action!
[seriously what is this even. WHERE ARE THEY AND WHAT'S GOING OOOON also Ziva's learned enough about survival training and such that...she's honestly not sure what it's a good idea for her to eat, since she's malnourished.]
Action!
[end of story. that's what she's gonna do. see? Abby's getting it right now.]
Action!
I can pay for it.
[See, she has money in her pocket that she's getting out and everything.]
Action!
Somehow she's already got the sandwich and has paid for it. And now she's pointing to a table.]
Sit.
Action!
Also one of the best? She's hurt. :C
Ziva gives Abby one of her 'I'm just doing this because it was my idea first' looks
she's such a catand sits down.]Action!
Gibbs is the best. At everything. He is Abby's number one. So there.
And now she's plopping down because she's happy Ziva is doing what she's told. No matter how Ziva happens to be treating the situation.]
You can travel with Gus and I. You'll like Gus. He's a cutie. And my boyfriend. But be nice to him. [Pointed look.]
Action!
I am nice to everyone. Unless they do something to warrant me not being so.
[She gives warnings! And deliberately misses when she throws projectiles that could take someone's eye out! ...unless she means to but you've done something to deserve it then.]
Action!
Ziva.
[Pouty face.]
Action!
Abby.
[Two can play that game.]
Action!
Pretty please?
Re: Action!
I will be nice. Though dealing with me would be excellent practice for him. For when Gibbs arrives.
[That's right, when, not if.]
Action!
Ooooooh. Good point. Go all out.
Action!
She'll nibble on that sandwich now.]
