He began to look up at Akira and Athena as he waved his right hand. "Greetings!" He said in a happy tone as the Pikmins began to look at them as well. "I hear that there is a problem going on, correct?" The captain said in a low deep tone while he began to rub his chin.

He shook his head. He would be okay. Tolora would return, right? Maybe Akira should return back to the house with Athena? Slowly getting to his feet and grasping his side. He winched.

"It's.. all fine. Ain't no harm, yo." He said. However, he heard a voice. Looking over at the small being that had serval small beings with him,Akira tilted his head to one side.

"Eh.. Hey.. Athena.. if it wasn't m'eyes.. do ya see somethin' strange 'fore us?" He asked.

She nodded. "But... but they're so cute!" She clasped her hands together.

The Pikmin began to look at Athena as 20 of them snuggled her feet. Olimar began to rub his head as he looked at Athena and Akira while he began to smile. These are the Pikmin, I train and help them as if, they were soldiers. Most of them have unique skills like beating up bad guys, carrying numerous objects, and many more." He explained to Athena as he looked at her.

The white tiger racing through the woods scattered the small herd of deer, separating a young doe with a limp from the rest. A quick pounce and a bite to crush the wind pipe and the hunt was over. It wasn't huge but she was only one tiger so it would do.

She nodded, smiling. "They sound wonderful..."

AKira fell silent. Very silent. He leaned his wary body against a tree and closed his eyes. Maybe waiting for Tolora to return would be a good idea? He shurgged and gave a nod towards Olimar.

"Uh.. Yo?" He asked.

The old man that owned the house they were all in finally came out of the kitchen with two small roast duck on platters covered in spices in one arm and a bottle of alcohol in the other. He froze at the strange sight, carefully set down the bottle of alcohol and went back to the kitchen, shaking his head.

Meanwhile, Tolora came back to the place she had first shifted and changed back to her human form, quickly getting dressed. The tiger was much easier to control when it was well fed. She wiped off most of the blood on her face and headed back to the village.

Athena simply looked around the place, calmly.

Olimar looked at Akira. "Hello there. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said in a calm tone while the Pikmin were gathering looking up at Athena as most of them blushed a bit. The captain somehow places his hands onto his hips as he smiled.

Back at the place...

Akira leaned up against a wall. He still had soreness surging within his body. Groaning some more, he stared at the two new people of him and then glanced over at Tolora. He shrugged a bit and closed his eyes.

"I smell somethin'. Is it.. what I think it is?" The young psychic asked.

Tolora walked into the house, almost stepping on a few of the pikmin. "Whoa, what the hell?" She gingerly stepped around the tiny people and made her way over to Akira. "How're you feeling?" She crouched next to him. "It's probably about time I change you bandages." She stood up to grab a roll when the old man came out of the kitchen again laden with much more food and struggling to hold it all. "Here." She took many of the plates and immediately handed a few to the other girl with a smile. "You're not too injured or tiny to help out."

Tolora set down the plates of food on the table, went back to grab bandages and returned to Akira, setting to work on changing them.

She giggled, talking with the Pikmin.

The Pikmin began to go with Athena as most of them snuggled her shoes. Olimar however began to blink at Athena as he chose to look up at her. "It seems they like your shoes." He said with a deep tone as the captain pointed at the shoes that she was wearing.

"Guess so!" She was really happy, as shown by her necklace.

Most of the Pikmin began to hum as they started to blush a bit more. Olimar began to rub his head as he chuckled. "That's very good. I think I remember the time I met these Pikmins on a strange planet."

She sat on her knees, still talking to them happily. They seem to have taken a shine to her, haven't they?

He nods over at Tolora and gave a nod.

"Tolora... is my injury bad? How.. is it?" He asked.

Looking down at his wounds, there were three slashes on the side of his waist. Looked like animal claw marks? They were deep, much like the scars on his body. Closing his eyes, he gave a sigh.

"Maybe it's good I am gettin' my bandages changed... I wanna recover..."

"It's deep. It'll leave scars." She said, not exactly answering his question. Bad or good were really relative terms. "But what you need to focus on now is keeping it clean and not getting it infected." Tolora said as she gently but firmly wrapped new clean bandages around his waist.

She checked to make sure they would stay and stood up to throw the soiled bandages away. "Alright, now you can eat."

Olimar began to sit down on the grass he as he blushes more to Athena. "My ship has crashed, and for about 25 days or so, I had to collect all the ship parts as fast as I could." He said as he explained to her in which the Pikmin looked at her and the captain.
