[Ur did promise to record her badge against Clair, and she's doing so. When this feed starts, it shows Ur's Lapras, Wild Rose, facing Clair's Gyarados. Next to her it's her other Lapras, Rose, and her Venasaur.]

You didn't use your Venasaur because you know my Gyarados has ice-based attacks that would put you at disadvantage. Impressive, but

[dnoteworthy]

Pardon me... But wouldn't that be the last badge of them all?

[forhishappiness]

Yeah, she's the strongest of all the gym Leaders.

[dnoteworthy]

So... how many badges have you collected so far, if you don't mind me asking? [he's wondering this, since it's rather obvious she hasn't gone home yet even if she might, to him, have collected eight badges. It might be clear he's hoping the answer to his question isn't 'eight', though.]

[forhishappiness]

This one is my fifth. 'M not in a hurry to get all the badges. [She scratched her head a bit.]

[dnoteworthy]

Ah... [that's a bit of a relief -- at least the rumor of going home immediately after collecting all eight badges isn't disproved... yet.] Incidentally... Have you heard of that rumor where people who collect all eight badges return home?

[forhishappiness]

Yes, I have. Not sure if it's true, but some people are tryin' it out.

[dnoteworthy]

Are you, then? [Just curiously, as far as the external is concerned. He might just keep track of your progress as much as he can, if so.]

[forhishappiness]

Not really. [So calm about this.]

[dnoteworthy]

Not entirely keen on returning home, then? [just curious, again. It's always somewhat strange to have people who, for one reason or another, does not want to return where they came from.]

[forhishappiness]

I'm happy here.

[Which it was true.]

[dnoteworthy]

Ah... I see. [which could mean she wasn't happy back where she came from. Very well. As good a reason as another.]

[forhishappiness]

I don't mind staying more time here.

[dnoteworthy]

I suppose that's expected of anyone that decides the grass is greener on this side. [a smile.] Who knows, maybe I'll end up just like you in the near future.

[dyingtoprotect]

It's hard to leave behind people you care about in this world.

Who knows indeed.

[dnoteworthy]

That's true... But what of those back in your own world? [He certainly does care about the ones he left behind... His family, that is, at the very least.]

[dyingtoprotect]

I have seen them here and they have told me about their future and dreams. That's all I can ask for.
