Sooooooooo. [See that grin, Johto? Obviously, someone--namely Merlin--is up to something.] Ahem.

You know, we moved into this house about a month ago, but the walls are still sort of...empty. I thought you guys might appreciate it if I did some decorating.

[And now the video shows what is apparently the inside of the Breeding Centre...except the

[...what have you all been up to while he's been gone.] You certainly have an interesting taste in decor.

...And you aren't intending to play Kirihara-kun, are you?

[Video]

[tiercelet]

I'll take that as a compliment. [Chuckle.] And, no. I don't know the first thing about tennis.

[Video]

[sfaccendato]

Probably for the best. Though I'd hope you picked something more aesthetically pleasing for at least the bathrooms.

If you ever decide to learn, I might suggest not using him as an instructor.

[Video]

[tiercelet]

The bathrooms? [Now that's a disturbing thought.] I don't...think anyone in the house would appreciate that.

You mean Akaya? Why not?

[Video]

[sfaccendato]

That was my point, yes.

His play style is a bit more dangerous than most.

[Video]

[tiercelet]

Don't worry, the rooms are perfectly safe. You can take a look at the entrance area if you want.

Oh. Is it really that dangerous? I only wanted a demonstration, and he seemed happy enough... [He frowns.] Maybe I ought to leave it, then. Wouldn't want him to injure himself over something like that.

[Video]

[sfaccendato]

I'm in Cherrygrove at the moment, so I'll have to wait until I return to see it, sadly.

Oh, no, I don't mean dangerous for him, I mean for his opponent. But if he's playing someone else from our world then they should be fine.

[Video]

[tiercelet]

Oh, I'll just show you, then. Here it is. [Tada! It's perfectly normal looking.]

Dangerous...for his opponent?

[Video]

[sfaccendato]

[chuckles a bit ] Oh, I see~ I imagine the initial video got some rather interesting reactions, in that case.

His playstyle is rather more violent than most people's.

[Video]

[tiercelet]

I thought Yosuke could do with a wake up call. [Chuckles, too.] He's been sort of tired lately.

[Hums thoughtfully.] You said "more violent".... So tennis is actually a really violent sport, then?

[Video]

[sfaccendato]

So clearly the solution is to post pictures of him sleeping where everyone can see them.

Not generally, no, but it depends on the players involved and the intensity of the match.

[Video]

[tiercelet]

It'll get his attention at least!

Now I've got to see this for myself. [Suddenly suspicious] Wait--you guys are teaching Rise how to play, aren't you?

[Video]

[sfaccendato]

I'm sure it will~

Yes, but Yukimura-kun is teaching her, so it should be safe enough.

[Video]

[tiercelet]

Might not be the good sort, though. [Maybe finding a hiding spot would be a good idea, actually...but Merlin doesn't look too bothered.]

Oh...Yukimura? [Still looking very stern.]

[Video]

[sfaccendato]

Such is the price of amusement, sometimes.

Yes. Have you met him yet?

[Video]

[tiercelet]

I'm sure he'll be fine. [Grin.]

Not at all. Is he staying in the house, too?
