[If there's one question Maxie isn't about to ask, it's why. He knows that this particular section of the island tends to have that effect on people - he that knows very well.
It's why he's here, after all.
Though he supposes he should be startled, the fact is that he isn't; hostility is another possible reaction, but really? There's not really much that registers outside of 'fucking finally'. Archie is here, and this one is familiar.
As it should be, really.
However, he's not about to go greet him personally; he'll stay on the beach, thank you.]
One of those children is here. The boy. Expect him to play stupid with you for a while as he tries to figure out if he knows you. I haven't seen the girl; I can't say for sure if she's here or not.
[He trusts that Archie can figure out what children he's talking about. After all, he did just come in from that particular good time.]
There's a man here as well - the leader of Team Rocket, I never got his name. He recognized me, but I'm not sure if that was because he knew of us or because he's met some other version of me on this island.
...and about that. I understand there's one here now. That other version of you that I've met is from the same place as he is, if I understand correctly.
I would like to ask that you please break him into several pieces, if you meet him. If he's anything like his Archie, you'll understand why immediately.
[Well! That first bit of information gets another laugh out of him, Archie. Exactly as he'd thought.]
No argument from me there.
[Truce or not, however, there are some things that he would much rather keep to himself for now. Like Kyogre's presence - Archie can find out that bit of information on his own.]
I'll show you where I've been, then. Although I can't say if you'll find it entirely agreeable.
[Maxie is quite partial to caves; if you think you're staying anywhere else, you're a moron. As it is, surely that last month in Hoenn wasn't so bad. Of course, they won't have Winona with them this time, but. Technicalities.]

It's about time, Archie.

So who does recognize us?

And when Maxie reaches that final part, they seem to burn.]]
....excellent. I need practice for when it's your turn.

I would be insulted, but I'll gladly take the advantage that underestimation will give.

[Just. Eyeroll.
...yeah, this island just got infinitely more interesting.]

So where exactly are you living on this godforsaken rock?
[[Because of course you are now totes room-mates, okay.]]

[Of course they are.]
First, though. How strong is that little agreement of ours holding up?

[[After that....little tidbit, Archie pauses to think for a moment.]]
I think it would be beneficial to continue it. Don't you? It'll be more fun that way.

Seriously you need a wallaquarium in here, buddy.]]
You've been here a month and haven't gotten us any company? How disappointing, Maxie.
