One more day of having this house all to myself. Maybe even less, if history has any chance of repeating itself. Nino always seems to come back home in the mornings lately

Hm, have you spent some time alone with Murkrow at all? How does he take to you?

[notmarvelous]

He's better than he was the other day. He still won't take food from me, though.

[ourcityscape]

He's eating, though, right? Something?

[notmarvelous]

Yeah, he's eating. I just have to walk to the other side of the room.

I think I made a mistake, Nino. I shouldn't have caught him.

[ourcityscape]

Hey, don't say that. It'll probably take some time, but once he sees how much you care about him, he'll come around. Right?

[notmarvelous]

Mmmhmm. I hope so.

All that aside, he's kind of a cool Pokemon. He has this move that attacks Pokemon who aren't even battling!

[ourcityscape]

... that's kind of scary.

[notmarvelous]

He's kind of a scary guy. My Pokedex told me he's a dark-type, so I guess that's fitting.

Did you know that Murkrows are supposed to be bad luck omens? Apparently they have a habit of leading their pursuers into forests and mountains so they get lost.

[ourcityscape]

Well, you'd better try to get on his good side, then. Have you gotten a sense at all of his likes and dislikes?

[notmarvelous]

His likes include sitting in the tree out back, eating alone, and glaring at me when I try to talk to him.

His dislikes include me.

[ourcityscape]

You don't know that. Maybe he's just a solitary fellow.

[notmarvelous]

Murkrow are flocking Pokemon, Nino.

[ourcityscape]

People are a social species, and I like to be alone.

[notmarvelous]

Oh. Hm. I guess so.

[ourcityscape]

There's a way to crack everyone, Jun-kun. You just have to find it.

You'll figure it out, huh? Maybe Pidgeot will help. The fact that you thought of that much based on what you know about the species is pretty good.

[notmarvelous]

Maybe. It's all I could think of, really. It's just... I know he's lonely.
