[There's something akin to a smile on his face, as if he's been practicing that too, as he watches Angel fall into a fit. His hands find their way into Shank's wool, petting her and still arcing small jolts of electricity as he does so.]
Yes, very glad. Lightning is... like home? So Shank reminds me. And she is very sweet.
[She certainly is, considering how she's batting her eyes at Mari. Somebody may have a case of hero worship.]
[Before she can respond, Angel has to take a few more deep breaths, settling the remaining hiccups of laughter that emanate from the back of her throat. Beside her, Mari puffs up all the more, clearly a little proud. Judging by the way she tucks her chin down, she's also a little bashful about it, too.]
Lightning reminds you of home? [Angel glances toward Mari. Her fingers stroke through her wool, discharging the last bits of electricity with small little pops.] I think I could understand feeling like that.
[It's a different kind of electricity -- unrefined as it is -- but Angel knows that feeling all the same.]
[Razor nods, even as Shank bleats softly at Mari. Don't be shy, she can back off! It's just that Mari is the only other Mareep partnered with a human she's met.]
Oh, yes. There, I had claws of lightning. Protected my pack with it. It is harder here, but... I'm learning, with my new pack.
Claws of lightning? [Briefly, Angel thinks of Deathtrap. That's... not so unbelievable, she thinks. Or it wouldn't be, for anyone except the technologically inept Razor.
Still, she doesn't look too weirded out, in any case.]
I used to have lightning wings. It sounds like we could have been good friends.
[Her wings weren't lightning, so much as a digital illusion. But explaining that would probably be too much.]
Oh. No, no. It's alright. I, um... don't understand all the time. Sorry.
[The last thing he wants is to make Angel feel guilty. Of course that's what happens if he seeks something as human as reassurance.
At the change of tones, though, Shank blinks back to life and nuzzles first at Razor, then at the Gear. Razor has to gently pull her away so she doesn't short circuit the device -- something that he appears to be quite used to by now.]
Oh, Angel. I saw... you want to challenge Jim. So am I!
[That's the one thing she didn't have to worry about with Krieg. He understood her, even if his own words got jumbled up when he tried to respond. Even with the others psychos, who at least could be reasoned with using local metaphor, had been easier to handle. It's a little different, trying to phrase things in terms that she thinks Razor might understand.]
I am going to be challenging the gyms! I've already gone against a few but... I think I want to complete the whole thing.
[Trying to focus on the matter at hand rather than beat himself up, Razor nods with enthusiasm.]
Mari is strong, yes? She can beat them all! [He rolls his shoulders, flexing like he's seen a knight here or there do to show their strength. It's a bit goofy, like most of his human imitations, but he's trying!]
I think you're right. [Mari bleats her agreement, even if she does look a little unsure. She's strong, but she isn't evolved like Shank is. Surely she would struggle to stand on her own against some of the bigger and badder Pokemon of the Pokemon league.
Angel, on the other hand, is fully confident in her abilities. She ruffles the fluff on her head.]

We can still be friends, right? Lightning or no. And, we have Mari, and Shank. So... still lightning.

I just mean in my previous life. You're already my friend here, Razor!

She'll be amazing.
