[When the feed comes on, Kuja is sitting in a room, Karma in a water-basin that's big enough for the fish to at least be in water nearby, Miranda the Pidgey napping on a counter; he's got a sprawl of berries, a couple potions, and a few assorted things picked up from the larger shops in the city where it looks like he's taking notes on trying to compound something.]
Good evening, Johto - I have a few questions, and as much as I would prefer solving this on my own, I find myself with a lack of background knowledge.
[He shifts the gear so that Karma, the Feebas, is a little more in view.]
I admit, I know very little about his species, but as far as I've known in the past, if a creature looks like it's a few moments from clawing out of a grave in search of the flesh of the living, it's generally a sign of ill health, which has me loathe to push the creature and aggravate any conditions. I'm well prepared to put time into finding a way to improve whatever is wrong... but it seems more prudent to swallow pride and ask about any pitfalls, or if anyone has any experience with similar creatures - the last thing I want to do is end up making things worse.
[And then, cutting that...]
[
There's a second, private call to Zidane.]
Zidane? We've arrived in Violet.
