[ Though Emmanellain catches Haurchefant's mumbling, he is distracted once more as Haurchefant continues, a whirlwind of enthusiasm over his odd pets. ]

From an egg— [ A unicorn foal, too?

Wait.

Emmanellain's jaw drops. ]


You named it Emmanellain?! [ Should he be touched or offended? ] But it— Is that a bite?

[ There, on Haurchefant's arm. Those puncture marks match Emmanellain the Zubat's fangs. A bloodsucking beast shares his half-brother's name.

Emmanellain the Elezen eyes the orb in Haurchefant's hand, not terribly eager to press the button, but his index finger nears it. ]


You couldn't name your unicorn for me instead?

[ Then again, that might have been a trifle strange, to talk of riding the animal then... ]

Alas, I got my dear Zubat before I got my unicorn - who I'd not named until our dear second Azure Dragoon came by but a moment ago! [ aka sasaxia. aka my wol-- ] For you see, a friend named Ford was selling them! Though he knew not if it would be Rowlet nor Zubat.

[ A pause, as Haurchefant nods to himself. ] As they may sound, Rowlet are young, round owls. But! Zubat are usually seen as common pests, as common as a starving bastard. [ haurche p l z ] The one I hatched - your namesake - is one I hope to raise to a higher standard. I've named many of my pets and allies after those of Ishgard and elsewhere.

[ For he'll never return. For he won't return and he won't be able to see them once more. It's the closest he has. Haurchefant, however, won't let this sorrow mask his enthusiasm for talking about Pokemon. Truly, it's rewarding to him. ] Unlike one captured off the street or cavern, however, this Emmanellian can use the attack Brave Bird out of the egg - one of the stronger Wind-aligned attacks!

[ His thoughts now distracted, though, he gives a Fortemps Cheeky Grin. ]

...Would you like to see the one I named after Ser Estinien?

[ A common pest... But Haurchefant thinks more highly than that of the Zubat and his brother, doesn't he? Each and every word still brims with excitement.

At last, Emmanellain presses the button on the Zubat's orb. Perhaps he and his namesake got off on the wrong foot, which he plans to rectify. Haurchefant means well. ]


Truly, even Ser Estinien? [ That should be interesting, and Emmanellain grins not unlike Haurchefant. ] What sort of creature is it?

[ As the Zubat was let out - letting out soft little squeaks - it fluttered... to land on the Elezen Emmanellian, nice and soft and relaxed.

Of course, Haurchefant wasn't relaxed - no, he grabbed out another orb. ]
Well, it was after a disaster of a Prom - villians, calling themselves Team Rocket, had imprisoned many Pokemon. The day after, I awoke with a special stone and an Egg - one which hatched into a Pokemon who could use the stone to become stronger.

[ And out comes a Mareep. (Haurchefant, for a moment, questions why Estinien has gone back a stage. But with wind-up dolls everywhere? It made him chuckle a little.) The Mareep had bright pink fur, a little closer to red - and deep blue skin. ]

[ The Zubat's fangs are still disconcerting, so near Emmanellain's person, but it doesn't seem poised to suck him dry, nor has it unleashed its attack. The Pokemon named for Estinien is not at all what one might expect, either, and Emmanellain bursts into laughter. ]

A... distant cousin to a karakul? For all we know, Ser Estinien truly hides a sheep's face beneath his helm!

[ Observe the Fortemps wit! Emmanellain's amusement lingers. ]
