A-achoo...!

[Beatrice is sitting on the floor, soaked. Her hair is down, dripping water and her nose is all red as she keeps sniffing.

Darjeeling the Houndoom is... well, the Houndoom equivalent of panicking. He's cuddling with her, trying to keep her warm.]

Good afternoon... I... I'm afraid I tripped and fell in the water...

[Still, she

Comments

[video] l-lol lets say they managed to exchange names last time since i fail at backtagging

[subvertio]

... With all that sneezing, it sounds like you caught a cold along with the Onix.

[video] Excellent. She probably told Van to call her "Beato" xD

[fathersbeloved]

I can't catch colds with pokéballs, can I? [Smiles, she's kidding.]

It is a bit cold in here, though....

[video] aw yiss :>

[subvertio]

[His eyebrow quirks up, lips twitching upward slightly.. hey, it was a good pun.]

If there isn't anything nearby to use to make a fire, have the Houndoom scorch the ground for a few minutes and sit there. It should keep you warm. [He'd recommend using the end of her dress but it's probably soaked too; useless for kindling.]

[fathersbeloved]

[Blink... she hadn't thought of that.]

There are some rocks around me... maybe Darjeeling can make them warm too! Thank you, Vanitas! You know a lot about this!

[video] SCUSE THE DELAY ;a;

[subvertio]

[Being thanked is honestly just.... strange for him.]

... I just know how to survive, that's all.

[video] DELAY SCUSED.

[fathersbeloved]

Can you survive in any situation?? I wish I knew how to do that, that way my friends wouldn't worry about me as much. And I could go and explore on my own!

[video] ... /sucks forever >_>;;;;;

[subvertio]

I can survive most. [.......... Why does he feel so awkward almost? learning how to talk to girls his age what]

It's a skill worth picking up; there are some survival books in stores on occasion.

[video] s'okay |D

[fathersbeloved]

But I read on a book that the best teacher is Experience! ...though I haven't meet anyone named like that.

[video]

[subvertio]

[.... Okay, he can't help a snort and a small smile.] Experience means it's a hands on, learning on the fly technique. There wouldn't be a person named that.

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

I see, I see... I always thought it was an odd name to have.

[Sneezes, the houndoom cuddles closer.]

Learn on the fly... you mean like birds, right? The way the jump from the nest... Maybe I should jump from the nest too-- Not now, of course. Jumping got me into this trouble after all.

[video]

[subvertio]

Something like that, but yeah, you probably shouldn't try jumping anywhere just yet. [Hesitating a moment, he clears his throat slightly.] If you get stuck like this again, go ahead and give me a call.

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

I will! And if you ever need anything, call me too! That's what friends do, am I wrong?

[video]

[subvertio]

[ -- Friends, huh? A year ago, he would have spat on the word, and it's unlikely they would have ever spoke in the first place. The word alone has him unsure of how to react, so it produces quite a hilariously awkward look on his face.]

... Right. That's what they do.

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

I hope I can meet you in person later, Vanitas! I'll have a special blend of tea for you.

[video]

[subvertio]

Mm. [That sounds kind of nice, actually, and it shows in the rather pleased expression on his face.] I should be in Olivine for a while still. [Aim for there, missy.]

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

Olivine... [C-checks her map...]

It's so far from here!
