"I would be glad to," Violet says with a laugh and a shake of her head. Her entire ease at the situation reminds Marius of Courfeyrac, actually; he manages to stop fidgeting as Pikachu gnaws on his shirt, bringing his hand to start stroking the back of the creature's neck. Pikachu makes a noise that seems to indicate satisfaction at such attentions, so he continues. "Pikachu is a horse of many tales."

Marius bursts out laughing at Courfeyrac's sudden predicament, as Violet makes her way over to him.

"Need some help there?" She lifts an eyebrow at him before glancing back at Marius. "And don't laugh yet. You still have your own mount to ride."

Marius immediately stops laughing, watching Pikachu once more with apprehension.
