007 ♰ video/action for Azalea Town

[fathersbeloved]

Good night!

[Beatrice's sitting on a log, with her faithful (and shy) Houndoom beside her. She looks cheerful, if a bit pale.]I could finally get up from bed, after some days. I caught a cold when I fell in the water in Union Cave, but I'm fine now. Azalea is such a nice place! I love the smell of the forest... it's very different from the one in

Well, if I were exploring alone, I'd find someone to go with me, of course.

...but then you wouldn't be exploring alone.

[coolest_cat]

Yes, exactly.

I'm not really a fan of being alone.

That doesn't help with my guide for exploring alone...

[Looks at her notebook for a moment. She can't write that down, what do.]

Why does it have to be for exploring alone, if I may ask? Not much you can do alone that you can't do with someone else.

[fathersbeloved]

Because... I want to learn to do things by myself, so my friends will stop worrying about me.

[He smiles kindly, and his voice loses some of the bravado.]

I think that's very admirable. My sincerest apologies for failing to understand that. It's more than a little remiss of me.

I think you're off to a good start, as well. Very firm in your convictions.

Don't mind it, don't mind it!

[Smiles warmly, this new person looks kind.]

My name is Beatrice, who are you?

[coolest_cat]

[Much too sweet to be out on her own... he rather hopes her levels are high.]

I'm afraid I simply must mind it. What's more, I'll have to find a way to make it up to you. We'll see what I can come up with.

[Her smile is extraordinarily easy to reciprocate.]

Youji. I'm more than thrilled to make your acquaintance.

[fathersbeloved]

A pleasure to meet you too, Youji!

...What's "making up to" someone?

[Stunned blink. Scratch that. Much too naive to exist where Youji is from. He hopes she has a chaperon who also has high levels.]

[But a smooth and swift recovery, as he pushes his hair back out of his eyes and smiles his best charming-cute-girls smile.]

Simply that I feel bad for misjudging you. I'd like to apologize by doing you a favor, or showing you that I believe in your goal, somehow.

[She has a shy Houndoom as chaperon, does that work?]

Hoh, I understand! Does that mean we're friends? They do things for me and I do things for them, after all.

[If it learns to be more assertive!

...yeah, you are much too cute to ever think about beyond friendship.]

If it means I can keep talking to you, of course. I'd be happy to be your friend.

[fathersbeloved]

I'm glad to have you as a friend, Youji! Now I have one more person to visit while I explore the world!

[coolest_cat]

I'll do my best to make your visit worthwhile, Beatrice. In the meantime, I look forward to it.
