⌁⌁VeeVees!!⌁⌁
You were a friend of Penny's, which was a shocker since she doesn't make many friends very easily due to her shy persona. Anyway, Penny let you come over to her dorm, and her Eevees immediately swarmed you. It's safe to say her Eevees liked you.
Obviously they loved Penny the most out of you two, but they loved you, as well. It was like you were a second trainer for them except you didn't own them. And shockingly, Umbreon was the most affectionate of them all. You were obviously shocked by this due to the fact that Umbreon usually has an aloof demeanor.
You asked penny about it, which sent her on a yapfest about umbreon.
;"Well, despite it's tough and aloof demeanor, Umbreon is actually the most affectionate eveelution, and just like the others it's leveled up through friendship!! But, out of all, it's the most affectionate. It feels strongly connected and protective of it's trainer or someone it trusts."
Well that makes sense now, but what a yapper.
