[This shadow Pokemon thing was a bit trickier than he first expected.

But it was turning out to be fascinating all the same. He'd been calculating damages on his own Pokedex-- a far more advanced model than he gave any child-- and he'd come to the conclusion this thing was, well, a damn fine weapon

[There is nothing like a Granddaughter visit in the middle of studying. Though now that Daisy is older she knows better then to interrupt directly. She pets her own fire-type while waiting somewhat patiently for her Grandfather to notice her.]

[insultyounow]

[He'll notice you soon enough, he'd seen remarkably little of you since he'd come here]

Dais! Don't stand off in an old man's blind spot, come on over where I can see yah.

[mappingamask]

[She was keeping to her little house most of the time, and working on her garden a bit, but it wasn't a good excuse for not seeing her Grandpa. Translation mun is fail

Daisy will smile.]

Hey Grandpa, it's good to see you!

[insultyounow]

Same to you, girly! [a pause]

I'd come give you a hug, but I'm kinda stuck. [and not willing to wake up the old fox resting on his feet]

[mappingamask]

[Got the hint. Daisy moves over to the Professor and gives him one instead, careful not to disturb the old girl.]

You're still able to do your research, I see. That's good. [At least that will never change.]

[insultyounow]

[you'll get a hug and something like a head pat]

The lab here's in working order-- I just have to collect new subjects. [meaning bitch at his pokedex holders to catch things for him]

[mappingamask]

You know... I don't remember the lab when you first got here... How did you find it? [Find might not be the right word, but it would have to do.]

Maybe I can give you a hand once it starts filling up in here. [That means Red and the others have to go Pokemon hunting again, right? Maybe Grandpa would even want that one Pokemon back.]

[insultyounow]

Another me invited me here-- but now he's made himself scarce so it's mine. [he hadn't been a fan of that man's... pleasantness]

Come around as much as you'd like! I can use company that can talk back to me. [a moment] But doesn't give me lip back. [meaning he didn't want you bringing Green around]

[mappingamask]

[Aww but we're a family!

Daisy nods and then smiles.]

I'd love that. It's been a little weird not being around the lab at all. It's a little piece of home.

[She'll just give you a disapproving look at that last comment.]

Grandpa.

[insultyounow]

He can keep his distance-- [a thought]

-- haven't you had enough of him and his playthings, anyways? [he figured you must be living with him considering... well, it doesn't need to be said]

[mappingamask]

Grandpa!

[You can't say things like that.

Okay lets get over our moment of shock there.]

...I wouldn't grow tired of him. You should know that.

[insultyounow]

[he can and he will!]

Still, come live here-- he doesn't need you around to coddle him like you always do.

[mappingamask]

[Quietly] ... I don't coddle him... [Minor pout]

[But wait... did he just say?]

...You mean you want me to live here?

[It might be nice. She still wasn't quite used to living by herself.]

[insultyounow]

You do and always have. [BLUNT]

Yes, yes, yes-- already! [Use your ears, girl!]

[mappingamask]

[It's been a while since she last saw you Gramps, give her a break.

Going to frown and glare at that remark.]

Well... I would like to live with you again...it's just, I'd have to leave my garden behind... [Could she get Green to take care of it?]

[insultyounow]

You can start a new garden here-- I'm sure the little, grass types I had would appreciate. [also, he kinda wants you to take care of them because they're all brats and he's sick of kicking them]
