About two weeks after we had initially met, when I went to set up camp in the field, she decided to join my company. Normally, she would have gone off to sleep somewhere else when the night grew dark, but it seemed that she was willing to push her boundaries with me, as she wanted to sleep near my campsite. I was still being incredibly cautious towards her, but given how friendly and calm she had been while in my presence, I eventually convinced myself that I should be okay with my other Pokémon by my side, and I went to sleep as usual. When I awoke the next morning, expecting to hear birds chirping and everything, I instead found her staring me in the face. At some point in the night, she had managed to silently open my tent and snuck into my sleeping bag, falling asleep while crammed in the bag with me still in it. That was the moment I realized that our state of accompaniment was not one that was going to end anytime soon. It seemed that she had become smitten with me.
