[Cecil can seen, standing in the middle of a Pokémart. A Pokémart that is not Violet's. He's supposed to be in Violet. Why isn't he in Violet?]

Mahogany has what is quite possibly the worst selection of souvenirs I've even seen, and that includes the one time when Palom wanted me to choose between a pig and a toad who turned out to be his classmates

...I don't need anything, Cecil.

[ She's....frowning. You made her worry when you disappeared like that sdfskfsfhasdf

also I hope you don't mind the like five frantic messages she left you, trying to figure out if you were hurt or dead or kidnapped or something ]

[puppet_paladin]

...Even if you did, I truly doubt I could find it here, to be honest.

[Sorryyyyy, honey! D: At least he has the decency to look like he feels bad about it?

He only saw those right before he posted, sadly, but they are now kept in the Gear's memory forever.]

[gentleblossom]

It doesn't sound like the best selection of items. You...are all right, though?

[ She's not so much angry as she is a little hurt, but she'll take him being okay over being missing any day. ]

I'm perfectly fine. I was trying to estimate Kayne's flying speed, and it turns out that he could reach Mahogany within the morning. I thought I might as well take care of that badge now, to be done with it.

[...All things considered, he'd take anger over any of her hurt looks any day.]

[ video ]

[gentleblossom]

I...see. Well, as long as you have the badge.

[ Yeah, sorry, still hurt. :( ]

...We've received an invitation, recently. How would you feel about a stay in a seaside city?

[Girls like going to the beach, right? It cheers them up, right? ;;]

[ video ]

[gentleblossom]

A seaside city? I wouldn't mind.

[ ...You've at least distracted her for the moment? ]

[ video ]

[puppet_paladin]

A friend of mine is repairing a house there, to serve as a home for all the people from his world. But most of them are teenagers, so he asked for extra arms.

[And of course Cecil went and volunteered Kain along.]

I'd also been hoping that a relaxed atmosphere would help Rydia make new friends. A city by the sea should have many children with whom she could play.

[Rydia is always a good distraction.]

[ video ]

[gentleblossom]

That's very kind of you, to help your friend.

And I do think friends would do Rydia some good. I know it's been a tough adjustment, with everything.....

[ Yes. Channel her worry for Cecil into worry for Rydia, good plan. ]

[puppet_paladin]

...Once we have less to do, perhaps we should see where exactly most groups with young children tend to stay for long periods. A somewhat stable home situation might be beneficial to her.

[...Maybe somewhat talking about being a ~family~.]

[ video ]

[gentleblossom]

Do you think we could find a place to stay like that?

[ Let me guess: Rydia is Cecil's daughter, Kain is his brother, and Rosa is the maid? ]

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

I've no doubt we can. This world is large, and all of its cities have their good sides.

[...If she wants to wear a sexy maid outfit, he won't stop her.]

[video]

[gentleblossom]

And you know I'm willing to stay anywhere, as long as everyone else is happy.

[ ...She will dress modestly. Or, at least, her version of modestly. ]

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

Even in the middle of a cave, days away from civilization?

[...A leotard and layers, then? Or her future version of modesty?]

Re: [video]

[gentleblossom]

...I can't imagine everyone being pleased with living in a cave, Cecil.

[ Let's say future version, if only because it sounds better. ]

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

Let's eliminate all caves from our list of possible homes, then.

[...Full-body dresses? DDD:]
