[Still moving, until he's directly between the two - shielding Akira from Silvally, or the other way around. Gladion holds his hands out to his sides a little, demonstrating empty hands, showing it's just me.]
I was fused with something. That's the short version. It's been - four months, until I could...
[And now, the doubt yawns wider, as he trails off. He shouldn't have done this after all.
Whatever expression he wears makes Silvally crouch in place a little and make a quiet rasping sound, clearly overwhelmed and uncertain. Slowly, very slowly, it reaches forward with its neck - and sniffs, loudly and tentatively.
Just as slowly, broadcasting his movements before he makes them, Gladion moves his hands out in front of him and takes a step forward.
Another step.
Silvally creeps forward, too.
It sniffs at his hands, and its feathers flick and ruffle with its rolling fear/confusion/concern. Glances up at his face.]
