[Well, Anders would do, for a time. She quickly scampered off to the side, racing about in a circle as if to show off, before prancing forward. Each of her tails wagged simultaneously as she gazed up at her former owner.]
She's the perfect little creature. I can't thank you enough for gifting her to me.
She's been nothing short of a delight. Perhaps a bit spoiled, but aren't all of my Pokemon? [Somewhere off-screen, Smoosherella lets out a loud meow. Yes, indeed.]
Anders actually laughs, especially at Smoosh's confirmation.]
There's nothing wrong with that, I don't think. Even if they developed attitude problems, you could bat your eyelashes and get them to obey you in an instant.
Hardly true! The other night, Adorababy wouldn't let me give him a bath no matter how many times I blinked at him! [He had, of course, been far more interested in continuing in his games, despite how muddy he had gotten.]
[Finally the Sylveon himself appeared, pouncing into what little room remained on Angel's lap. Ciri let out a slight protest, but seeing as how Adorababy quickly lathered him with attention, said protests quickly petered out.]
[At the commotion, the Pokemon sitting beside Anders peers up, and boy, is Pinsy's expression scathing. She's ashamed to share an animal kingdom with these flagrant attention hogs, even if the affectionate display heals Anders' wounds, cures his depression, and blesses his crops.]
I must say, I'm terribly jealous of the lot of you. [As if he doesn't have cuddly Pokemon too!!]
[It's a good thing Angel can't see Pinsy, lest she find herself accosted by affection from the siren. A pure soul such as herself couldn't possibly see the evil in such a beast.]
[Hey, now, Pinsy never said she doesn't want affection. She just isn't going to beg for it like some sort of desperate peasant. Even Anders is finally starting to get it, stroking her mane without making a big deal about it like he did when he was newer to Johto.]
I'm sure our paths will cross again soon enough. Hopefully under a bit more pleasant circumstances next time. [He loves Angel, and dancing, and buffets, but honestly, fuck "prom."]
I should hope so too. What is it that you're doing now?
[If she knew where she was, there was a better chance of being able to direct her friends in his direction. If he was even on a relatively similar path, of course.]
Right now, all I want is to give my Pokemon some time to rest. Afterward... I'm not certain.
I was considering going back to Olivine. [He liked it there. The beach was nice, and it was just crowded enough that he wouldn't feel quite as alone as he did on the Islands in the event he holed up for a few days at a time.]
Mmm, I am not sure. I have never drank before, and I would hate for you to have to deal with whatever disaster might follow.
[A few images of herself collapsed drunkenly on the ground and poor Anders struggling to care for her flitted across her mind. After a moment, she shuddered and attempted to shake away the thought.]
I suppose I wouldn't be quite as much help without my magic, but I do know some precautionary measures. Let me know if you want to try; I don't mind either way.

It was my pleasure. I told her all about you -- she was so excited to get to know you.

Have you tried using a bucket?

I...
I think he's very opposed to that idea.

You'll have to figure something out, then.

Why in Johto would you be, Anders?
no subject
Why, you all look very comfortable.
no subject
A shame you can't join us, then. I'm sure they'd all love to see you again, even if it has only been a handful of days.

But I do have the city on my warp list now. Perhaps I will stop by every now and again, to check on you? Maybe there's ice cream there! Or burritos!
[Is it obvious that she doesn't want him to be alone? No? She'll have to try harder then.]
no subject
I would like that. I can show you where all the good food is.
no subject
A friend date, I mean! I've been on a great many of those!!!
no subject
Don't worry. I'm quite fond of those, myself.
no subject
That's good.
no subject
Are you interested in drinking? They've got nice taverns there, too. [He's asking to be social, not to drown his sorrows. Like, honestly, for once.]
