003 :: and no one had fried rice that night [audio]

[tigerlikereflex]

[Someone has been looking for a certain little girl most of today, and only really figured out "where" she went when he discovered the surprise guests in his room at the Inn; Pao Lin's Pokemon, and not just a few. All of them were there

[pluckapetal]

Oh no, I'm going to miss her!

[voice]

[tigerlikereflex]

I'm sure she wouldn't want you to be sad though.

[voice]

[pluckapetal]

I'm not sad. I'll miss her lots, for sure, but I'm not sad.

[voice]

[tigerlikereflex]

Ahhhh I suppose they are a bit different, huh? I'll miss her too... but I know she's fine back home!

[voice]

[thefourthtry]

I'm sorry that your friend left.

...Is there anything I can do?

[voice]

[tigerlikereflex]

It's alright, I know she's alright back home, so I'm not too worried. It was nice just having a familiar face. [He'll give a soft, sheepish laugh.]

Well, if you don't mind talking with an old man from time to time, I'd like to say I'm good for conversation?

[voice]

[thefourthtry]

Hey, you're not old, just wise, like Dumbledore and Gandalf.

So, yeah, I'm definitely up for a conversation or two, or four, or three hundred.

[voice]

[tigerlikereflex]

[That definitely makes him laugh though.] You're... probably the first person who has ever called me wise! [Brb getting his breath back between laughs.] I've heard naive and idiotic, ridiculous..

[But that smile of his is incredibly audible.] I'd like that.

[voice]

[usedslam]

... sorry your friend went away, mister.

Mine keep leaving too.

[voice]

[tigerlikereflex]

It's nothing to apologize for - [... Oh. D: Poor kid, that's a bit disheartening to hear!] Ah.. I'm sorry that yours left too. [A pause.]

Hey, we could be friends? I mean, if neither of us are going anywhere, you know? [If he doesn't mind being friends with an old dude.]

[voice]

[usedslam]

[ Psshh, Shooter will be friends with anyone. ]

Well... that'd be cool! I'm definitely not going anywhere, or I'd miss out on my chance to be the Champion!

[voice]

[tigerlikereflex]

[You could even teach him Tin Pin, but he'll be awful at it 8D]

Oh yeah? Champion... how many badges do you have already? [It's easier to talk about this than Pao Lin being gone.]

[stowsaway]

Eh? But I know her!

[tigerlikereflex]

Ah? Er.. I'm sorry then. But don't worry, she's alright back home! Nothing dangerous going on or anything!

[stowsaway]

How do people leave?

[tigerlikereflex]

Well, no ones really sure. They just disappear. Their Pokemon being left behind is one of the few ways to really figure it out, but their PokeGear is disconnected too.

[ and here's the quiet question: ]

Are you all right?

audio;

[tigerlikereflex]

Mm, I'll be fine, don't you worry. [It was very nice to have a familiar face but.. he also knows she can at least contact her parents once in a while back home, unlike here.

But it does remind him that he misses his daughter more than ever.]

audio;

[bewilding]

As expected from Wild Tiger, then. [ though she's sure there's some feelings there, but she won't push it. ]

audio;

[tigerlikereflex]

Heh. [There are, but he's certain he'll be alright.]

Ah- how are you doing? [Subject changing is good for the soul.]
