[txt] Men who yearn. Your weakness.

[txt] Pardon me???? Locked in a tower???? You must be joking

[txt] The boys aura is smoglike

[txt] You are begging for spiritual asthma

[txt] Hold It Together !!!!!!! What did he do

Is that so? I agree with you, but I’m curious as to why.

Names have power. I don't give them out like candy.

His name is Thutmose the Great. He is very cute.

I put out pastries, also, with tea. Please have a seat.

You can just come in. Heracross is waiting for you. He is very small for his species so don't be alarmed.

Is that so? Even knowing the circumstances, I am surprised. She’s normally so… open.

Mm. Everything will be ready for your hasty arrival. Green or black?

You aren’t off in judgement, I’m just not sure how much I can offer you… I was equally shut-out before Petra strongarmed me into friendship. And I’m grateful that she did, but her charisma and willingness to fail at things are skills outside my toolset…

But I wouldn’t mind listening. Come have tea?

No rest for the wicked. Yes, I mean. I’m in my studio. How may I help you?

I was going to be cold to you, so as to keep in line with my typical introductions. But your aura is vibrating with nervous energy already. Please breathe. 🧘‍♀️

Ford???!!

…

I feel ready to win!

Hello, Volbeat... would you like to come inside and play? Ribombee and Vulcarona are just outside on the balcony...

I would like to observe Volbeat passively for a few minutes, if you don't mind.

When did you first notice this change?

Folks? There is a handball court outside the community center. I don't think my mother would be interested in playing. Tomorrow is fine. Bring your Pokemon that would eat you. We will have a great time!

That’s great news in this context. How soon can you visit Meteor Falls?

That would be ideal. But are your Pokémon ‘soft’ on you? I can’t have them sending weak throws because they like you. You need to learn to dodge properly. Your ankles are fragile looking.

Not long at all, but my bugs love to play fetch. And dodge.

Yes? For practice? What would I do, rent one?
