Her ears perked with a surprised note from her at the other girl changing her mind and she grinned. "Wait here and I'll go back and get it. I might be a little bit. Want to make sure none of my friends try to come back with me. That'd just get awkward."
She was off in a flash, melting through the bushes even with her dress and running quickly back towards the cabin. Cracking the door open quietly she could hear noise from the kitchen area and ran to her room and grabbed the dress in question, and on impulse the light sweater thing that came with it to wear over top, and she made a dash for the door amazed she'd slipped in and out so easily!
Within minutes she was back to where she'd left Truffles panting heavily and clutching the clothes to her chest. "H....here...'s'a dress..and sweater that came with it.." she was bent at the waist catching her breath as she held the items out to the other.

Truffles felt nerves prickle at her sides. Friends? What if someone followed Briar back? ..What if someone saw her with the dress?! As Briar vanished, Truffles backed further toward the barrier of trees so that she would have more reaction time if any friend did follow and posed a threat.
But, it was just Briar, with the dress and a sweater. ...She could use the sweater, even if it was thin. The dress... Slowly, she reached out and took the items from the other girl. "Thanks," she murmured, holding the dress up to herself. This would be weird. But, it would make washing her clothes much more pleasant.
Pursing her lips, she pulled the dress on over her head, very much reluctant to strip near a stranger, even if she'd been hidden. The dress was a little snug, but that could be blamed on the clothes underneath. The sweater followed, and she smoothed it down. "...It'll do," she said neutrally, ignoring her interest in how it would look without her other clothes on under it.

"You're welcome Truffles." she turned away from the other girl in case she wanted to try it on and all, knowing an audience wouldn't be appreciated in any way.
When she heard the other say it would do she turned...and couldn't help but giggle at the bunched up look of it over the other clothes. "Well it looks like it fits you better than it ever has me...even with your other clothes on under it. I'm glad it fits you!" she smiled brightly at the other girl. "Sorry I don't have any pants or anything you could have."

Looking up sharply at the giggle, Truffles pressed her lips. She didn't like being laughed at. But... she looked down at herself again, and started to giggle softly. She probably did look rather silly. She quickly pulled the layers back off and rolled them into a ball to tuck under her arm.
"No. This is fine. Only for when I'm washing anyway. ...I don't have anything to give you, though."

She saw the unhappy look she was given and apologized quickly. "Sorry to upset you, wasn't trying to. But the dress looks silly with all those clothes under it."
She waved her hands in a 'oh no!' sort of fashion and smiled again. "Don't worry about it really! I don't need anything in return. The dress is way too big for me anyhow, so I'm really glad to see it'll be getting used, even if only once in awhile." she really didn't mind!

Sighing, she nodded slowly. It had looked silly. Hopefully it wouldn't be as laughable without the clothes. ...not that she intended to wear the thing where anyone could see her.
Brow rising, Truffles looked at Briar curiously. Nothing in return? "..Won't you want it for when you get bigger?" She looked at the roll of dress under her arm again. Did Briar have more than this?

There was a shake of her head and a smile. "No it's okay. I have other clothes back at the cabin, and if I need more I'm sure Draven and Rhyin and Claret can help me find or get more." or she'd borrow something from Rhyin again until she was given something that fit proper. The one upside to the human teen being...a teen was she swam in his shirts!

Truffles nodded, and then raised a brow slightly. Draven and Rhyin and Claret? "Those names... Those are your friends? You all live together?" She couldn't remember what it was like to live with more than just one other. Sure, she stayed in the same place as others now, but she wasn't living with them.

"Uh-huh. Draven found Rhying and his Heatmor Claret when we got separated...Draven is a Dragonite." she rocked back on her heels a little and then forward again just because she couldn't stand still. "Rhyin is really nice though I think it's hard for him to have two kids around since he's not much older than us."

Truffles lowered her gaze. The mention of separation of any sort put a dent into her mood. "So.. you separated, and then found each other again?" She couldn't help honing in on this. If Briar could find Draven again, then maybe the was hope for her to find Aatami one day. "How did you find Draven again after you lost him? Was Rhyin taking care of Draven while you were apart?" Maybe someone was out there right now taking care of her brother...?

"Uh-huh...see...when we were pokemon we ran away from our trainers...and we were found by a man and his daughter and they had Jacen a Vanilite who had changed like us! Well there was a car accident and I was with Molly and Colby and really hurt and taken to a pokemon center. I thought they were dead when they pulled me out to get me there. When I woke up I ran out of the center and was on my own."
She found a rock to sit on, looking thoughtful a moment. "I got lost when I ran and was on my own. Draven and Jacen thought they got abandoned and both left the house...turns out Molly and Colby were alive just very hurt. I ended up finding Draven completely by luck. He found someone who'd met Molly and Colby not long before Draven met him...that's the only reason I know they're okay now."
She blushed some realizing she'd rambled...a lot.

Truffles remained standing, and listened intently to Briar's story. There were a lot of names in this story. Oh... She'd only found Draven by luck. ...Well, maybe she would have the same- ..No. She didn't have any luck.
"I'm glad you found your friend," she said softly, and gave the ground a light kick.
Hold on. No moping!
She cocked her head at the blush she saw. "What do you do now?"

"I am too! I didn't think I'd ever find him again honestly."
There was a puzzled look and a blink. "Do? Well Rhyin was teaching us to read and write and stuff. I don't really have an interest in it. I walk around the lake a lot, and I want to learn to fish when it warms up!" she was just a kid in the end.

Truffles now was the one with the confused look. "You walk? How do you get money to buy food and your dresses and stuff? You don't really need reading and writing to do some of the basic jobs out there." Truffles herself could only read a little bit, and hardly used what she knew at any rate.

"I don't, I'm only a kid. Rhyin would have a fit if I tried to work. He takes care of us all. Before when we lived with Colby and Molly he took care of her and Jacen's clothes, and food for all of us." she tilted her head curiously. "Why? What do you do? You don't have to try taking care of it all yourself do you?"
With a wide eyed look she frowned. "If that's the case...well...follow me..I have something that could help...I found a bag of HM's and TM's awhile ago and my friends and I went through them... maybe you could sell them for money?" why not? They were just sitting there in her little "hiding" spot. Not that it was very hidden. Just a knot hole in a tree.
