19th Match // video // Goldenrod

[fuelthefire]

[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.

[Krieg, ever the surprise. Though considering this is Maya, it's probably not as big of a surprise as it would be to others.]

Yeah. You're pretty good with pokemon.

Action

[fuelthefire]

They're easier than people.

[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

[notyourgoddess]

[She almost responds and then thinks it over for a moment.]

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

[fuelthefire]

Yeah.

[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

[notyourgoddess]

[Most people. After all she does trust Krieg. A lot. To the point where him betraying her isn't really a thing she worries about.]

....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

[fuelthefire]

[Not that he really has the capacity for betrayal, but if he did he would die before betraying Maya.

He brightens considerably when she admits it's not so bad here.]

Yeah! I knew you'd like it!

Action

[notyourgoddess]

[She resists a smirk at that.]

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.
