My, my. Mother certainly looks quite young for her age. And such energy, too. I'm so glad to hear that old age hasn't worn her down at all.

I'm almost jealous. A shame I haven't inherited those particular genes.

[good morning, johto. today there is a rather sarcastic sounding voice on this network post. there's a bit of a pause before he

You should probably reconsider the wardrobe then, old man. It's been out of style since you were born.

[nodoubleteam]

Johto.

[completely deadpan. this situation is all ten kinds of wtf, and jade's much too busy thinking to even pay attention to the mudkip that's decided to take refuge on his feet.]

From my understanding, a place without fonons.

[topsjade]

And that means all kinds of problems for us. Especially you.

[ Peony does not like this. Not one bit. A frown, because he's thinking of his poor, helpless little babies back home. WHYY. ]

Did you get one of these? [ REACHING INTO THE PACK to show the breeder guide. ]

action

[nodoubleteam]

Not at all. I can handle myself just fine without fonic artes.

[if anything, the one he's worried about is peony. god, he's going to have to keep an eye on this one. at being shown the breeder's book, jade pretends to look... shocked.]

Your Majesty! Don't simply take out your inappropriate reading material without warning! [THAT BREEDER'S GUIDE.]

[topsjade]

[ Peony is going to snap at some point. For now he's just living on adrenaline and the cute thing at his feet and THAT REACTION JADE WHAT? ]

Jade, cut it out. This is important ... [ He pauses and points to a page. ] Do I really have to - ?

action 1/2

[nodoubleteam]

[and jade will lean forward to read it, humming under his breath. wow, look at that interesting content.

once he finishes reading it (which only took a couple of seconds, really), he leans back to a standing position, adjusting... his glasses. oh this face.]

[nodoubleteam]

Your Majesty, Professional Jade Finder, the breeder.

[just that. good luck, Peony.]

action.

[topsjade]

[ Peony just... pales. And drops the book entirely because what is this nonsense... ]

...You're not...?! Man, how is that fair. I don't even -

action.

[nodoubleteam]

[oh, peony. Jade's picking up that book with little effort, flipping idly through the pages.]

No, no. I'm a Trainer. I'm afraid I don't have the skills to be a Breeder. [this is totally a compliment.]

action.

[topsjade]

[ Peony just... pales and stares at Tear and. ]

She's too young for any of this, Jade.

action.

[nodoubleteam]

My. No one said you had to do that right now, Your Majesty.

[blush. so excited, peony.]

action.

[topsjade]

...Do what now?

[ The poor swinub and - Jade what are you talking about. ]

action.

[nodoubleteam]

Make Tear participate in... breeding activities.

[it sounds so wrong and jade doesn't care. a dismissive hand wave as he flips through the rest of the breeder pages, like this subject isn't particularly disturbing at all. he stops on a page.]

How incredibly fascinating.

action.

[topsjade]

[Curiosity killed the rappig, they say, and Peony is casualllly leaning closer. ]

What's interesting - [ let him see that page damnit ]

action.

[nodoubleteam]

[casually leaning back. oh my hod. Jade very nearly steps on his Mudkip.]

I had absolutely no idea. [he's sounding completely amazed.]

action.

[topsjade]

[damn it jade, stop with this tomfoolery. ]

About what? Don't hold out on me, old man... [ TRYING TO SEE. WHAT WHAT. Tear the Swinub is momentarily forgotten. ]
