[ If anyone is looking for N, he will not be easy to find. His Pokemon seem to be missing too, though his name still registers on the SFC. However, he does not seem to be answering messages, though one is free to leave one and try their luck

[A mother always knows.

Normally, Mrs. Brisby saw N in passing at least once a day, as she roamed about. She dismissed it at first, but the longer she went without seeing him, the more disconcerted she was. She was more prey than predator, but even she could track a scent if she put her mind to it.

Which is exactly what she did. Look out N, here she comes.]

[ She would find one of the abandoned warehouses smelled vaguely of N, but also of creatures -- reptilian and mammal, and the distinct scent of feline -- and of beings that her world would have no parallel for. ]

[courageofheart]

[She was starting to get used to the creatures. She looked around the warehouse, finding a hole in the wall and climbing in through that way. She eventually found her way to him, and carefully whispered, so as not to startle him too badly;]

N...? It's me, Mrs. Brisby.

[singularjustice]

[ N jumps, looking at her with wide eyes. ]

Mrs. Brisby? What are you doing here?

Hurp rethought my tag

[courageofheart]

I could ask you the same, you know...

[She approaches him, settling at his feet.]

But... I have a feeling you're not really wanting to talk to anyone. Let's at least get you out of this dark, dusty place. Places like this will be the death of you! We can find somewhere nicer for you to be.

[ N turns his face away. ]

I am fine here.

Thank you.

Tagging from phone aww yiss

[courageofheart]

Now, now. We can find a nice quiet place that isn't so dark.

Won't you go on a walk with me? We can go through the forest and find a private place there.

[singularjustice]

No thank you.

[courageofheart]

... N. You don't have to tell me what's wrong, but... this isn't good for you. I don't want to see you lonely like this...

[singularjustice]

I can take care of myself. I will be fine.

[courageofheart]

Well, yes, you can, I can tell...

N... is that what this is about? Trying to do everything yourself...?

[singularjustice]

Yes.

[courageofheart]

[She almost decides against it, but she climbs onto his knee so she can get a better look at him.]

Now... what's gotten you thinking about that? Did someone say something about you, N?

Because... from my experience, I don't think that refusing help is the right answer.

[singularjustice]

[ He lets her sit on his knee, but ducks his head lower. ]

I don't want to talk about it.

[courageofheart]

...Will you listen, if I tell you a little story?

Something special, that I haven't told anyone else?

[singularjustice]

[ ... ]

[ N peeks out, only one eye visible. ]

...yes.
