Okay, little hup-hup, you ready?
[Thus speaksParker Alice, who is currently out on the tennis court in the backyard of the Dangan House, as she carries an Eevee over to a marked-off section at one end of the court, just in front of the serving line. With a deliberate point of her hand, the Eevee sits, seemingly obedient, and watches her eagerly as she retreats to the other side of the court and reaches into a waiting cooler.
A second later, her hands reemerge holding a delicious-looking sandwich, which she places on a paper plate and sets down near her feet, lightly slapping her knees as she proceeds to start calling for it.]
Okay. Come on! C'mere! Come get the sandwich! Look, it's a delicious sandwich! Mmm-mmmm, does that look good or what?
[The Eevee, predictably, just kind of looks at her.]
...I said come on. Look, it's a sandwich. You like sandwiches, right? Come on! Sandwich! Get over here!
[The Eevee doesn't move.]
Okay, you know what? Fine. Whatever.
[In a huff,Parker Alice folds her arms and turns her back on the waiting Eevee. But the instant after she does so, something unusual happens — all at once the Eevee springs into action, darting across the tennis court at a somewhat slower speed than is usual for the Horde, taking its time so it doesn't have to use its tiny nails to keep traction as it goes.
When it reaches the net dividing the court, it pauses, tail twitching in anticipation as it gathers its feet beneath it and makes a mighty leap, just barely managing to clear it in a single bound, and with a relatively silent landing that makes it freeze for a second before continuing on, as if waiting to see if the human in its midst has noticed.
Now on the opposite side of the court, the Eevee promptly flattens out, making its approach toward the waiting sandwich by determinedly scootching along on its stomach in a commando crawl to circumvent the problem of the nails entirely.
But then, as it draws close,Parker Alice seems to be alerted by something, and whirls around in what can only be described as an accusatory fashion —
...and by the time she has, the Eevee has flipped itself over onto its back and curled into a painfully adorable mass of fur and belly, its little feet suspended in the air as it wriggles and chirps happily (and seemingly innocently) at her.]
...Awwwww.
[Apparently appeased,Parker Alice turns around again, and as soon as she does the Eevee is back in action, scootching urgently toward the sandwich and grabbing the paper plate in its teeth before sitting up and exploding into a flurry of yips and barks.
At which point, smiling proudly,Parker Alice clicks the timer button on the stopwatch she's been holding and reaches down to scoop up the Eevee for some much deserved-snuggles.]
Good boy! Twenty-six point two seconds!
[Yip yip yip yip, goes the triumphant Eevee, as she sets him down and feeds him a bit of the sandwich before replacing it back in the cooler and clicking the stopwatch timer to clear it.]
Okay, who's next?
[And with that, she walks out of camera view, apparently to go fetch the next candidate for the Super Stealth Sandwich Training Run.]

[Whoops, only semi-busted. Fortunately, he would've found out sooner or later anyway, so today it's probably just "sooner".]
I'm training the Eevees. Wow, you look great!
[video]
Thank you - I've had a few days to recover from the Ice Path, and it's...Blackthorn is really nice.
[outside of be really awkward, that is]
[video]
[video]
I did, yes! And they were good - I made sure to actually eat them and not just look at them.
[Okay, Naegi kind of had to prod him when he noticed the staring, but that's beside the point.]
[video]
[She actually sounds...almost relieved? But not quite. And whether that's from hearing that the chocolates came out okay or the fact that he ate them at all, well, who can say.]
What've you been doing in Blackthorn?
[video]
...I've also been sleeping more than I should, but I think that's because of spending a week in the caves.
[video]
[DOES SHE NEED TO BE CONCERNED. Or, well...Parker's approximation of concerned, which is to feel strange and maybe accidentally break some things without noticing it because of the aforementioned strangeness.]
[video]
Enough to be "more often than usual," but not enough to be considered "all the time"!
[video]
[video]
Nowhere near "coma."
[video]
[SUCH VISIBLE RELIEF.]
[video]
[Anyway.]
What are you training the Eevees to do, anyway?
[video]
So I'm teaching them how to crawl on their stomachs. Like for stealth. So you don't hear their nails or anything.
[...]
Oh, and if they get caught they should roll around and be really cute. You know, like grifters.
[video]
So you're teaching them to be...con artists? Stealthy con artists.
[video]
...I thought I was just...making them less dumb.
[video]
[What does he do with this.]
I don't think we should be encouraging them to steal things, though.
[video]
I had to get them to come so I used food. They don't come closer while someone's watching, even if you tell them to come get the sandwich. They only go when no one's looking.
[video]
[video]
...
Oops.]
So I should...train them not to do that next.
[video]
[video]
[She says, to a chatter of yipping.]
We'll do that next. Yeah. We can fix it. It'll be okay. We'll do that next.
[video]
[He will shout the hup-hups into submission, clearly.]
...It's good that they're listening to you, though!
