Valorie glanced at Snype as she walked. She wasn't used to Pokemon sitting on her shoulder. Only smaller pokemon could even manage, what with Valorie being rather small and frail. Dratini generally curled up in her arms in comparison. She reached her free hand up and lightly pet Snype with her fingers. Dratini meanwhile seemed overjoyed to see her two 'parents' holding hands and walking away together. If she didn't know any better, which she didn't, she would suspect Snype had somehow caused this, based on what he had said earlier.
Dratini: "Great! It makes me feel so happy to see them like this!"
Meanwhile, Valorie didn't seem to find the hand holding awkward. She was aware of the implications, but had just ceased to be bothered by such things. The affection would need to be more intimate if it were to bug her at this point.
"Oh yeah... I figure since TMs are so hard to get I'll just have to try teaching Dratini some new things on my own."
Could Valorie even do that? TMs were widely regarded as the best way to teach a pokemon a move. To a degree, yes she could. Valorie was familiar enough with Dratini that she was capable of teaching Dratini a few moves. The pool to choose from was very small compared to TMs, however, and would probably take significantly longer than TMs to achieve the same result. The fact that she had so casually claimed to be able to do such a thing might take one by surprise regardless, however.
