9th roar [ video + action for Goldenrod ]

[usedroar]

[ The video is very brief: it's Leon's room at the inn, which you all might recognize from the last video, if you're paying attention, with one very large discrepancy:

Skarmory is taking up the entire bed, along with a clutch of six. Six gigantic, reflective metal eggs

[ Rinoa was...probably going to pass this up and ignore him in retaliation (because, you know, that'd show him), but this really is too much.

So just have some laughter from her end because this is hilarious. Especially since she saw what King was like. ]

[usedroar]

[ Thaaaat laugh. There's a chill racing up and down his spine, so much so that Skarmory can feel it and begins to restlessly fuss over her eggs. Leon turns to the camera, feeling some strange mixture of horror and anticipation and unease. He doesn't want to deal with her, but he doesn't really have a choice; after last time, unless he really wants Quistis on his ass, he needs to put on a kinder face.

Which is to say--he's not responding with anything, just giving the sourest of looks. ]

[angelicdelights]

[ That look isn't helping anything. In fact, somehow, it just makes the scene that much more comical. But give her a minute here, she'll calm down. ]

...I'm sorry, it's just-ahaha... [ ...Okay, maybe a bit longer. Composure is overrated, anyhow. ]

[usedroar]

It's not funny.

[ Still linefacing--though he's taking the time to examine her as she laughs, something closer to softness, or fear, flickering across his face. Just seeing her, so close, is...well, beyond odd, really, but he's at least had some time to get used to it. ]

[angelicdelights]

[ The laughs quiet back down, followed by some soft gasping for air. Once Rinoa seems to be able to breathe, she's wearing a teasing smile. ]

Oh, come on! You don't find this funny at all? [ She's watching Skarmory and her eggs, not really paying attention to his scrutiny. Or just missing it entirely, which is quite possible. ]

[ video ]

[usedroar]

Of course not. What am I supposed to do with six eggs?

[ He is glad for this. Very glad. In fact, he may have been banking on it. Oh Rinoa, never change. ]

[ video ]

[angelicdelights]

Well, I don't know! Don't people usually sell them or something?

[ Shrug! Those...are pretty big eggs, though. She's wondering how they all fit on that one bed. ]

[ video ]

[usedroar]

[ At the mention of 'sell', Skarmory lets out a GLASS-SHATTERING SHRIEK that makes Leon wince. ]

...somehow, I don't think selling them is an option.

[ video ]

[angelicdelights]

[ Rinoa winces, too, and puts her hands over her ears; it's even loud through the 'Gear. ]

Okay, no selling. Um...maybe you could throw a party and have a "take an egg, leave an egg" policy?

[ video ]

[usedroar]

A what policy? [ Sounds complicated. ]

I think I'll just give them away.

[ It's not like there are any pokemon he particularly wants, after all. ]

[ video ]

[angelicdelights]

You know! People who want eggs take them, and people who don't want them leave them for others. [ It's totally logical, okay? ]

Or I guess that works, too.

[ video ]

[usedroar]

My method's a little more efficient.

[ video ]

[angelicdelights]

But it's also not as fun!

[ video ]

[usedroar]

[ By the Light, when she looks at him with that huffy expression... ]

'Fun' doesn't factor into it.

[ video ]

[angelicdelights]

Why not?

[ She is not letting up. ]

[ video ]

[usedroar]

Because they're eggs, not...party favors.
