you made it! \(≧∇≦)/

even though you're a little young, i think you could still find work if you run out of money!

oh! oh! what'd you name him?

[utterlyupbeat]

That's what they said... I don't really want to, though.

I named him Midnight. I thought it suited him.

[pokemondolly]

i understand, but it's better than running out of food money if it comes to that!

awww, that's a cute name! (*^▽^*)

[utterlyupbeat]

Yeah, I know.

["cute"... were all his nickname ideas cute to girls...]

It's the only one he didn't scoff at...

[ Action ]

[dnoteworthy]

[Something about this child... Seems really similar to L. Maybe it's the lack of emotion -- or at least, in Sergio's case, lack of anything apart from a broody sulk -- and the hidden intelligence behind that young face. He's nearby, and he's walking back from just having spoken to the PokéCenter's Nurse Joy about a part-time job there. He was just reading the PokéGear's network entries as he was walking, so he'd have read Sergio's text as well.]

You don't have to worry so much about budgets for now. I'll help provide for you if you'd like.

[Light might seem to be a little fond of Sergio right now - while Sergio is the quiet type, his resilience, considering his apparently age, was a thing that Light appreciated, even considering they had to camp out in the woods the night before.]

[utterlyupbeat]

[he had returned to his charts after making the entry (and ... kind of scolding his pokemon...), finding the paperwork soothing. he looks up at light when he speaks, though; his expression does not change much, nor his tone, but he is certainly less cautious of light than he was a few days ago.]

... It's all right. You probably need that money for you and your team more than I need extra.

[dnoteworthy]

[He'll observe Sergio's movements for a bit, but remain neutral on the point]

If you say so, then. If you feel up to it, you can also get a job here - the best paying one, as far as I can tell so far, is a desk job at the PokéCenter. [he's fairly certain Sergio can handle the paperwork there well enough, from what he's seeing here.]

[utterlyupbeat]

[somewhat reluctantly;]

I asked about those . . . It looks like I'll have to, since I don't have another source of income.

[vigilantive]

Seeerge, looks like you made it! [ that yellow blob getting closer? Yeah, that's Ellie running, then with a leap the Pikachu clings to Sergio's head. Unlike his Pikachu, he'll be taking a steady pace! Also picking up some papers on his way there, skimming through them a bit. ]

Planning ahead, huh.

Re: ( action )

[utterlyupbeat]

[he would say something to that if there weren't a pikachu clinging to his head shjkdlgkjg!! poochyena, on the other hand, barks happily at the pikachu :D!!]

--Um.

( action )

[vigilantive]

Pika, pikachu pi kachu'pi-I! [ "My comrades, we finally meet!" still... Clinging. ]

Y'know he needs to breathe. [ he'll help you with that yellow mouse clinging to your head there. Now Ellie is latching onto Yuri's shoulder. ]

[utterlyupbeat]

[f-freedom;; poochyena just wags its tail, entertained.]

Thanks...

[utterlyupbeat]

Midnight. It was the only one he would respond to.

[topsjade]

i see how it fits. how is he doing?

[utterlyupbeat]

I think he's okay. He runs off and fights a lot...

[action]

[masomaso]

[SUDDENLY ATTACKED BY PAPER RIGHT IN THE FACE-- oh my god what is her life.]

Wha-- Hey, what is this!? [Picking the paper off of her face sob.]

[utterlyupbeat]

Sorry--

[--looks up

blushes

mute.]

[masomaso]

--?

[Looking towards the voice that said "Sorry" after getting the paper off her face.]

This is yours?

[utterlyupbeat]

[dumb for a moment, before nodding slowly...?? midnight barks happily at the new person to make up for sergio's lack of speech.]
