[ ... You get a special present today, Johto. You would have gotten it sooner, but Maes has been busy... traveling... and he didn't exactly get too much of a chance to break away from a certain little boy and his weird pet goth that have been with him. But it's morning, and he's gotten some time to himself

[The question is blunt, but Selim is looking more bewildered than anything as he wanders in; no, really, Hughes. What are you doing, you're just kind of...shrieking into the Gear, there, and Selim can't say he knows why.]

Oh! Hello Selim~ I was just sharing some pictures.
[ He'll close the feed for now, since it'd be rude to leave it running. But uh... you probably shouldn't have come in here, honestly... 'cause now he's kind of shoving that thing toward you.
... Not that you haven't already seen it. 'Cause, he's totally been spending a little time each day kind of staring at it. But at least you haven't actually experienced his, "OMG LOOK AT MY CHILD" rambling just yet.
... You're about to. Have a random open page. ]
Isn't she not the most adorable little girl you've ever seen?

Oh - yes, she's very cute, Lt. Colonel!
[It's not that Selim is...completely unfamiliar with this sort of practice (because if nothing else, his adopted mother is very fond of showing him off) but he's never exactly been subjected to it himself. As such, he's a little confused, and -
...oh, who are we kidding, he's derping hard over here.]

Ah! Here's a picture of her in her new dress! She was so very excited about that dress~ Oh! And look, she's playing tea party with her stuffed toys in this one! Isn't it just precious?

[Oh. Well that's... not surprising at all. Considering that both Kimblee and Archer received items from home - and presumably everyone else in Johto - he probably should have expected something like this.]
[Still, that doesn't stop the rather unimpressed look on the video feed!]
Well, I see you're still in one piece.
[Not that he cares or anything!]
It seems as though Johto decided to give you something nice. You seem pleased.
[That might be the biggest understatement of the year.]

[ Oh! Hello Archer~ Did you receive his gift? It should've arrived for you via a very persistent Pidgey at some point on Christmas day. ]
Ah! Colonel~ Yes! I've received something very nice.
[ Just in case you couldn't tell, he's holding out the picture album from behind the Eevee.
Looking like he's about to go on a ramble again. Quick, quick! Say something... ]

[That will get something of a smirk since Archer can't actually smile without it being sufficiently creepy. He's well aware of how you work and the easiest way to stop a rant about your oh-so-lovely family is to distract you, right? Let's do this thing!]
Thank you very much for the gift. You have excellent taste.
[That's actually genuine! Because that notebook is being put to good use! ...Well, he considers it good use, everyone else probably considers keeping a notebook on everything their dead best friend did and said to be relatively creepy. Oh well, not like you'll ever seen that notebook again!]
The creatures in this world are fascinating. I assume you've been training yours? Do you have any idea what you want it to evolve into? I believe there are numerous forms this one can take.

[ Good job, Archer! You've managed to distract him a little. ]
Oh! Yes! Traveling between cities was an excellent opportunity to train this one here.
[ Eevee gives a nod of approval on that. She's so much stronger now, can't you tell? ]
I've actually managed to catch a few others as well. Ah, and I've been gifted quite a few as well!

At this point, the Eevee is blocking Maes' view of the 'Gear, so just listen to his voice in the background. ]
Oh~ Just sharing the joys of my beautiful family! Everyone should be able to enjoy how absolutely amazing they are, don't you think?
[ Here, you can see his finger on screen as he points at the Eevee ]
You mean this tiny thing? It's my Pokemon!

He's petting her head with one hand, and leaning in with another picture of Elicia in his other hand. "Bubbly-looking creature? Oh, you mean her? She's my daughter!"
... He's not going to have to explain where babies come from, is he?
Reply
Ah, ah, they're just as beautiful as you said they were! I can see someone is an honest man~! [ a playful, if overly saccharine voice to mimic his. In reality, she really does not give a shit about his family but anything to appease the man with her two brothers.
Fuck the free immortality here. ]

Oh yes! So beautiful. I'm the luckiest man alive.

If you're referring to your wife, yes. If you're referring to child, no. [ she'll explain what she means in a second IN THE MEAN TIME REACTION REACTION. ]

For now, have a slight twitch. ]
Hmm...? How do you mean?

That's an adorable little girl you have, sir. Congratulations.
[Sob, what are you doing Lion don't feed the fire of fatherly love.]
