[Rather than Noctis appearing when the video comes on it's Quay the Popplio who is looking rather misty eyed as she partially hides behind her flippers which are covering her snout. She sniffles then let's out a cheery bark, throwing her flippers to the side as she blows a few bubbles.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Black boots are visible in the background as someone approaches and the 'gear is picked up along with Quay who let's out another bark, waving her flippers about in excitement.

Ah. There's Noctis!

The young man grins at the 'gear as Quay continues to ramble on and on in Pokespeak.]

I think what she means to say is thanks for the votes, guys. And congratulations to everyone that entered! It was a lot of fun.

[Quay nods and blows a few more bubbles, beaming at the 'gear.

Yeah! That's what she meant!]

"Whoa, wait, seriously? You've never had a hot dog?" Noctis said in absolute disbelief. "Okay we definitely have to change that! Have you had a burger? Please tell me you've had one. Man, we need to figure out what things we've both never tried then aim to make one another try them all."

A long term goal list while they were both in this world.

The prince looked briefly surprised by the sudden shower of scales, laughing lightly as he brushed some of them out of his hair.

"What was that for, Etain?"

"Sometimes! Or you can hear stuff on the radio! Or find records or cassettes!" Quay said excitedly, clearly ready to help her brother find the music that suited him best.

"Oh yeah I've had a burger! From like, fast food places. I've never had one like, made at home though." He grinned at the idea of trying all the food. "Oh yeah, I'd love that. I mentioned one or two recipes from home to ignis but he didn't seem that keen on some of em. But if I'm making it then it's not like he needs to worry about what's in it or anything." The only worry was if Ash could find some Guinness for the recipe.

"She likes adding confetti. You oughta see Bladerunner some days, he sparkles thanks to her!" Ash ruffled his hair to get the scales out, throwing her a smile with a raised eyebrow. She only answered with a giggle, covering her mouth with her hands.

"Ash has quite a few records! But they're kinda similar music. His music is nice it's just, not my sound, if that makes sense? What Scuabtuinne did was amazing...that's the closest song I've heard that resonated with me." Ronan smiled, encouraged by Quay's enthusiasm.

"Ignis gets a bit stiff about recipes sometimes but that doesn't mean we can't still make stuff!" Noctis said with a grin, already planning what they were going to do. "We definitely have to do this now. No exceptions. When do you want to cook out? I can go into town whenever and get all the food we might need."

The prince just shook his head fondly at the butterfly before ruffling Ash's hair with a grin.

"Sorry you missed some!"

"Oh maybe you need to listen to more stuff like that then!" Quay said excitedly, bouncing a bit and blowing some bubbles. "Maybe that's where your heart song is!"

[rambling_runner]

"Oi!" He shook his head when Noctis mussed with his hair, leaning back. But he was lazily grinning, reaching to return the favour and mess up Noctis' hair in turn. Étain giggled brightly. This is her OTP. And they're messing up each other's hair!!

"When the weather's warmer would be best! It's still chilly at the moment. Back home that was like, end of March? But I mean, we would have the fire and all that."

"Dya have any I could borrow?" Ronan blew a bubble back, a large one full of smaller bubbles. "I'll make sure to listen to the radio every day!"

[thenightsky]

Noctis can't help but laugh as his hair is tousled, ducking away from Ash with a fond grin on his lips as he runs a hand through his hair to smooth it out.

"I think we'd be alright as long as we got a good fire going and considering we don't really have to worry about that.." he mused, grin widening. Thank whoever was watching over them for Fire Pokemon, right?

"Oh yes! We have lots! You can borrow as many as you like!" Quay said excitedly, giggling at the bubbles her brother was blowing, adding some smaller ones of her own to the mix. "We'll find you music in no time!"
