19th Match // video // Goldenrod
[Today's home video features Adorababy the Sylveon and an unknown Eevee. 'Dora is sitting on his haunches, front paws and back toes all lined up in a neat little row. He looks mildly confused (but not unhappy) as the Eevee circles around him, headbutting him and rubbing against him like a fluffy kitten. This adorable video is accompanied at first only by the adoring "Veeee!"s enunciated by the worshiping Eevee, but after about twenty seconds of cuteness overload, the cameraman speaks up.]
Is anybody missing a puppycat?
[Whaddup, it's ya boi, Krieg. He sounds just as confused as 'Dora looks. The Eevee is oblivious to all of the confusion it's causing, completely and utterly absorbed as it is in its worshipful adulations.]
It followed us home from Goldenrod and won't go away.

Action
[It's a work in progress, Scorch is.]
Just...think about. It's not like you have to make any decisions right now. And if the whole PC thing is a thing you can't do. We'll find something to work around it.
Action
[Krieg may be biased, but his statement also isn't entirely untrue. If a Pokemon exists that's less threatening than Dolly, he sure hasn't seen it.
In regard to Maya's suggestion, he responds easily enough:]
Mnng. Okay.
[He's unspeakably grateful every day for her presence, but some days he feels it even more strongly than usual - and this is one of those days. Her ability to blend logic and reassurance together is second to none, as far as he's concerned. He's already feeling better about the situation, and more positive about its eventual resolution.]
Action
[It's hard to beat Dolly at being nonthreatening.]
I have noted they seem to like quiet.
[Loud noises like say, the Voltorb, tend to startle the poor strange pokemon.]
Action
[Which is true...a lot of the time, but Krieg is also quiet a lot more often than he realizes, too. Dolly has had a lot to do with that.]
But I don't want to scare the monsters.
[Also: that. Who would have guessed that this big meaty murder machine has an equally big but surprisingly soft heart?]
Action
Yeah. You're pretty good with pokemon.
Action
[Because people don't always tell you when they're upset, or hurting, or if they need something. They also don't always tell you when you've upset them, or hurt them. Pokemon - at least the ones he's met - don't play that game. Artifice is an entirely human art, and it's not one he understands.]
Action
They are, aren't they.
[Huh, that's actually true. People lie and trick you. Pokemon seem to be pretty straightforward. And if there's anything Maya hates it's being betrayed or used.]
Action
[Well, most people. Present company excluded. He knows he'll never have to worry about Maya hiding anything from him, or playing games with him, or...anything, really.]
...I'm really glad you're here.
Action
....You know. I think I am too.
[It's taken a lot of time and she misses her powers everyday but...]
It's not so bad here.
Action
He brightens considerably when she admits it's not so bad here.]
Yeah! I knew you'd like it!
Action
Well it took me a while to buy into this place.
[Honestly despite everything, she was expecting Jack to try something. She is very glad she was mistaken.]
But it grows on you.
