nevercaught[The screen shows a few seconds of Jarlaxle’s smiling face, his rainbow-caped Sableye clinging to his shoulder, before the camera rotates and begins to pan over an evening campsite in what appears to be the outskirts of the Ilex Forest. A dark-skinned, white haired young woman—who some may recognize as Vierna Do’Urden—immediately stands to move out of frame as soon as she notices Jarlaxle is filming her, but his other companion, a man of middling years with equally dark skin and white hair, makes no motion to do so, choosing to ignore the camera instead.
The camera zooms in closer on this man, as a little Inkay drifts over and nuzzles him, burbling happily. The man gives a long-suffering sigh.]
”If I must.”
[The man gently takes hold of the sides of his Inkay and begins to… well, there’s no other words for it. He begins to play a flying game with the little pokemon, shifting her up and down in the air, back and forth, and rotating around in slow circles. And despite his resigned tone earlier, the man seems… content to be babying his tiny squid. There’s a softness to his expression that wasn’t there before. He raises the Inkay up once more, turning her upside-down and—
There’s a flash of light and suddenly the little Inkay is a much larger Malamar, who has effectively knocked her astounded trainer literally flat on his ass with her sudden evolution—but he still hasn’t let go of her. Nor does he when the happy Malamar continues her burbling in a deeper voice than before, wrapping her arm tentacles around her effectively pinned trainer.]
What a happy pair! [Jaraxle comments as voice-over, laughter all too clear in his voice and the sudden shakiness of the camera. His pinned companion turns his head to glare at him.]
”I’m going to kill you later.”
