[ Hey it's the Mint Professor and his dead-eyed companion Espurr. He's sitting outside in the sunshine, a few of his pokemon can be seen frolicking behind him. ]

Hello. Byleth here.

I have just returned from the optimist.

Sorry. The optimus. Opti-

[ Frown. ]

Op. Tom. E. Trist?

[ SIGH. ]

The eye doctor.

Anyways, they suggested that as apparently my eyesight is actually, as they put it "astonishingly bad", that I try the glasses they prescribed for me outside for the first time and document my experience. So here I am. But they did allow me to choose my favorite color.

[ He presents the glasses to the screen, they're rectangular blue frame is very simple, and very boring. Just like him. He gently puts them on and looks around. It takes him a couple moments before he actually startles, a hand going to the frames as he takes them off, and puts them back on again a few times. ]

WHAT THE-

[ Anyone watching will get to see him go and touch some grass, and then run over to look at a few trees, and then his own pokemon before he returns to look at his Espurr. ]

Oh Breakfast. We're really in it now.

I more meant that even after spending so much time with him, and helping him accommodate to the admitted drawbacks of taking the field while relying on glasses, you never sought them out for yourself.

[Still, his enthusiasm is adorable and his praise of Ignatz makes Lorenz' smile falter.]

I do miss him so... [He's not going to get teary over it though. He's not. Goddess help him he misses them all so much.] You should write down some of your observations. I'm sure he'd love to hear them if he ever arrives here.

[perfectteatime]

Ah... well I guess I never thought about it. I was getting along just fine before, but this is just incredible.

That's a wonderful idea, Lorenz. I think I'll do that.

[silky_bearing]

Well... there's no need to suffer through "just fine" anymore. Now you can appreciate the incredible beauty of everything around you properly.

[ Yes. A sentiment that absolutely will not come back to bite him. ]

And I imagine the writing part will be a bit easier as well.

[perfectteatime]

I can. I think my favorite thing so far is being able to see how beautiful all of my students are. I can truly appreciate all your smiles now.

Ah yes, I've never been good with reading or writing, but now I ought to give it another try.

[silky_bearing]

Ah! Professor that is so sweet.

[Speaking of smiles.]

If you decide to try your hand at writing something more creatively I would be delighted to read it.

[perfectteatime]

Well, I don't know about creative writing, I'm not exactly a poet...

[silky_bearing]

No one ever thinks themselves one but who knows, you might enjoy it.

[perfectteatime]

Well... if I do, would you be willing to give me some pointers?

[silky_bearing]

O-oh... well. I haven't the faintest idea why you'd think I would have any insight on such matters but-

[Lorenz you literally walked into that one.]

[perfectteatime]

You pick this to be modest over? Come on Lorenz. I give credit where it's due.

[silky_bearing]

R-really, Professor. I may read such things on occasion but-

truly I hardly have time for such things if I'm to remain on top of my duties.

[What duties? Don't ask! Just!! Responsibilities!!]

[perfectteatime]

Whatever you say, Lorenz.

[He actually squeaks, embarrassed, and promptly cuts the feed to go converse with Stephanie for a moment before...]

I don't know if you're making terrifyingly accurate guesses or if you know something more that I did not realize but, please, do not mention it to anyone.

[perfectteatime]

Just a guess, but I did make you admit it now didn't I?

[silky_bearing]

Professor, please.

Was it not enough for Professor Manuela to be tormenting me with such things? You as well now?

[perfectteatime]

I apologize... that was rather cruel of me wasn't it. But... why do you not embrace it?

[silky_bearing]

It is nothing but frivolity. My time is far better spent attending to my duties.

[Okay, he doesn't have duties here but that's besides the point.]

[perfectteatime]

I know how deeply you care but sometimes you need to enjoy a little frivolity. Besides, you are at an abundance of free time now.

[silky_bearing]

Perhaps, here. But I still have my pokémon to tend to so we will have to see whether there is time enough for such things.

[perfectteatime]

Well... if you do, would you let me read it?

[silky_bearing]

Oh, Professor, I assure you I haven't the talent for such things to bear an audience.

[perfectteatime]

What about a friend, not an audience?

[silky_bearing]

I will consider it, Professor.
