After hearing her friend's warm words along with a pat on the back from Paiyu's dad, Eli's sadness had slowly dissipated into happiness and hugged her friend with joy-filled tears in her eyes. "Thanks, Paiyu!" She squeaked. "T-that really makes me feel a lot better. With you by my side, I don't think I'll ever get that feral again. Also, I wasn't screaming. My squeaking just so happens to be a bit loud when in peril, my apologies..." After giving her young trainer pal the warmest embrace she could ever give, the green girl wiped her tears and decided to step onto an empty relaxing chair next to her friend. Unlike first class, however, the floor felt more wobbly thanks to the motorboat's constant sea bouncing. This made Eli feel a little seasick, but tolerated it since it didn't make her feel like she needed to vomit rainbows. However, she thought to herself. I'm gonna regret the feeling of sea legs once we get to Malie City... Eli faced herself towards her best buddy on the chair and wondered what they were talking about before she came squeaking to them. "Hey Paiyu," she curiously asked. "Before I came to you guys and all, what were you even talking about, anyways?"
