9th Match // [video] Sevii Islands

[fuelthefire]

[The video feed kicks on and reveals one very pleased-looking Exploud. She's nestled in someone's unmade bed, and she seems to be brooding proudly over a large number of eggs.

After a few seconds of making sure the video is working, Krieg helpfully explains from behind the camera.]

The Whisper Bunny had six eggs!

[WB somehow manages to look even more self-satisfied at this announcement. That is one proud mama.]

Four have homes, two are left!

Could be a Whisper Bunny, could be a Iron Skull.

Who wants one?

[shiro2hero]

[Oh.]

[Oh Arceus. Why.]

[Who even took that picture. Why does Krieg have that picture.]

[He's just. Staring at it. Mildly horrified.]

... that sure is a thing.

[fuelthefire]

Pfmnuhuhuhuhu...It's the best!

[Look how much joy Krieg gets from the existence of this photo, Shiro. How can you be upset with this much delight staring you in the face?]

[shiro2hero]

It's -- yeah, buddy, all right. The "best".

[He can't. Or he can pretend he can't. You know -- over the way his face is red and all.]

[fuelthefire]

Should I send it to you?

[Surely Shiro will want his very own copy of the adorable Spheal boob photo!

...Right?]

[shiro2hero]

No -- No, that's okay.

I'm good.

[please no, krieg.]

[Send it to him as a Christmas Card]

[fuelthefire]

Let me know if you change your mi~nd!

[Krieg will hook you up so fast, Shiro. Just say the word.]

[shiro2hero]

Yeah. Sure thing, Krieg.

[nooooope]

[fuelthefire]

Mnn...! I bet the Torch Dragon will like whoever you pick.

[And here he goes abruptly switching back to the original topic of Pokemon Playdates.

You're welcome, Shiro.]

[shiro2hero]

[BLESS YOU, KRIEG.]

You know, you've always got a lot of confidence in people. I don't think enough of us realize that.

[fuelthefire]

[He blinks at that. Huh?]

....Huh?

[What is your meaning, sir.]

[shiro2hero]

I mean... it's good we have you around.

There's a lot of self-worth issues in this house.

[fuelthefire]

[...Oh. He really wasn't expecting that. The "it's good we have you around" part, not the "everyone has self-worth issues" part, because he did know that.]

I'll fight all the bad times.

[Or he'll try, anyway.]

[shiro2hero]

I know you will, man. I think we all do.

[C'mere Krieg, have a manly shoulder pat right here.]

[fuelthefire]

[Awwww, hell yeah, a smile and physical affection from Shiro, he must be doing something right! Krieg grins right back, even though he's wearing his mask as always. His eye is pretty expressive, though, so maybe Shiro can tell.]

Mnahahaha! Don't forget it!

[shiro2hero]

[Oh, he can tell. He's been around Krieg long enough for this one. He doesn't even realize he's gone and made actual human contact -- for now, anyway.]

I won't.
