Vatheon, have you ever seen a big abomination of pink and white before in this underwater city? Or even at all? It's not so really big, but standing around in the shopping district, it still sticks out like a sore thumb. With

[He's just taking a stroll after buying some nice, healthy vegetables to make for dinner when Green spies the Wigglytuff.

Red doesn't have one of those, Green should know.

...Which means that another trainer has arrived.

With a weary gaze he looks around, gaze settling on Leaf. Smirking, he makes his way over to her.]

If it isn't Leaf.

[sweetbean_bread]

[Laughs loudly and tilts his head to the side, giving Leaf a small grin.]

You're worried about us? You don't have to! I'm fine on my own and so is Red, even if he still doesn't know how to take care of himself. So stop frowning.

[mint_bread]

I don't know if I can believe that...

[ but her frown lessens and how tightly her arms are folded, too. ] You two are always a worry.

[ ... smile~ ]

[sweetbean_bread]

You're the biggest worry out of all three of us!

[Since Red is always a step behind him but Leaf sometimes seems too far away.

...wait.]

-not that I do! [The great Green Oak doesn't worry.]

[mint_bread]

[ that's so dokidoki, Green. ]

That's the problem... you don't call! [ Oh, what's this? Is Green going to get some fake/teasing sulking now when Leaf looks away from him? ]

You never once tried to get in contact with me either, did you?

[sweetbean_bread]

[You only wish this was dokidoki. Green doesn't do dokidoki.

Really.]

Because I was busy with training my Pokémon and getting all the badges! And it's not like you called either, right? [Not that Green checked on his missed calls that much.]

[mint_bread]

... who says I didn't try?

[ she actually didn't know if she should bother. and Leaf doesn't do dokidoki for Green, either! ]

[sweetbean_bread]

[Yeah right, you know that you go dokidoki whenever his theme song starts playing.]

My PokéGear said so. [Or so he hopes.]

[mint_bread]

[ sure that's called wanting to give a punch in the face. ]

... Did you want me to call? You never acted like it back home.

[sweetbean_bread]

[And a punch to the face translates to dropping to the ground and worshiping Green's awesomeness.

And damn, how to respond to this?]

It's not like I would have minded if you had called.

[mint_bread]

[ ... maybe it's now more like pinch Green's cheeks so he tsuns. Biiiig smilllee riiight at you, Green. ]

Then next time, I will.

[sweetbean_bread]

[Green is squirming a bit under the smile. He could have called and maybe he should have. But he was way too distracted by being a jerk and training.]

If you don't, I guess I'll have to call you to make sure you haven't gotten lost again. I think I remember hearing something about a certain trainer getting lost in various caves...

[mint_bread]

[ That throws Leaf off. How did he know?! But that could be any trainer, couldn't it? Those caves were horrible! ]

... That could have been anyone.

[ Even though the embarrassment on her face says it was her. ] But if you were worried for me, you should have said much earlier. [ jokingly: ] Instead of being too busy having a complicated friendship with Red.

[sweetbean_bread]

Your face tells me that it was you. I really thought you would have gotten over that part by now but it seems like you haven't changed after all. [Teasing, it's one of Green's favorite past time activity!]

I wasn't worried about you, I know you have a proper head on your shoulders. [He shrugs but the joke throws him a bit off.]

It's not a friendship!

[mint_bread]

What do you mean, I haven't changed at all? ... Caves are a nuisance. [ she kicks the ground. huff. ]

But are you sure about those? Not worrying about me or your not-friendship with Red... can't it be a friendship?

[sweetbean_bread]

It wasn't that difficult to navigate through them for me. Or anyone else for that matter. [Smirks.] All I'm saying is that you and caves never go along.

...tch. [He crosses his arms over his chest and turns to look to the side, mumbling something under his breath.]
