Text to the Group/Household - Post Prom

[perfectteatime]

Hey all. I've decided to go traveling for a while. I'll be challenging the rest of the Kanto gyms and working to train my team up. I will be recording my battles for anyone interested and uploading them here. Please let me know if you need anything. Please stay out of trouble (you know who you are.) I will be back when I am victorious.

Love you all.

Hey, Teach...do you mind me saying that this seems like a really bad idea? What happened to you not liking being alone? I don't think you've suddenly developed a taste for it.

You don't have to run off. There's better ways.

[perfectteatime]

I definitely understand the concern, and I really do appreciate it. I won't be alone, I have my Pokemon with me, and I will make sure to call often.

I wanted to do the gyms anyways, and this seems like a good chance to center myself and think about a few things. I promise I'm not running from my problems. I will be back within a month at most.

If you wanted to visit or accompany me through some of my travels though, I would be amicable to that.

[vrdantwind]

You know that's not the same. I was under the impression that it was us you missed. Pokémon aren't going to take our place. At least, I hope not.

It'd be one thing to take a few days away if you really need some alone time, but a month? Longer, maybe? The travel times are pretty significant, and that's assuming you don't stop over in the cities for any length of time. It's too much, Teach.

And if this isn't running from your problems, does that mean you've talked over things with everyone already? Like Dimitri? You've totally discussed the stuff that came up with him already, right? There's no unaddressed issues you're just kinda leaving on the table while you go off and do this?

[perfectteatime]

No. Pokémon can't replace any of you, and I do realize it's a while. I did talk to Dimitri after, and I promise things will be okay. I talked to Shiro too of course.

I'm honestly kind of flattered you're this worried about me... not that I expect any less of you. I can always use the warps to come home, too.

Would it make you feel better if I went with Felix and Sylvain? You're also welcome to come if you want to spend some time with me.

[vrdantwind]

Of course I'm worried about you, Teach. And this is a totally normal amount for me to be worried. I saw how rough a time you were having the day of, you know? I know what this is about. And I don't think it's the best way to deal with how you're feeling about it.

I don't really want any of you to just run off by yourselves, but I'll concede I'd feel better if you had somebody with you. And I'd like to come with you...but I've got too many people who need looking after here. You know it'd all fall apart without me~.

[perfectteatime]

I'm sorry to have worried you, but it really does mean a lot that you care this much, and I say that with the utmost sincerity. I don't want you to worry but. I think that's kind of part of having loved ones, isn't it?

How about this- I'll make a visit home in the middle of things. Just so I'm not gone that long.

[vrdantwind]

It is. As for how much I care, it'd be weird if I cared any less.

Hmm...make it a couple visits, and you've got a deal. [Claude when did this become you and Byleth striking a bargain?]

[perfectteatime]

One condition: cuddle me.

[vrdantwind]

Done! Nice doing business with you, Teach~ No takebacks!

[perfectteatime]

Wouldn't dream of it.

Dear Professor,

If you are going to be traveling throughout Kanto, then I imagine you will not have time to visit myself and some of my companion Paliens while we are going to be staying in Olivine. I will be working on our residences over there alongside the construction crew that was hired.

You will keep in contact with us regularly, will you not, Professor?

I hope that you have a safe journey. Know that you are always welcome with us.

Sincerely,

Dimitri

[perfectteatime]

Not to worry. Claude already scolded me- I'll be sure to visit, and this should be relatively quick, as I intend to make use of the warps, and soon I will have the ability to ride one of my fliers.

I will come to see you when I am finished and perhaps I can show you how strong I've become with a battle. I'd also love to help with some of the construction as well. I already have four badges, after all.

I fully intend to call you plenty as well. I can feel you fretting through the text. Everything will be okay.

[nastyboy]

[Please stop calling him out, Professor, he can't handle this]

I did not want to pile onto you further. Still, I am glad to hear that you will be contacting us often.

It seems they have already been making good progress on getting everything ready at the property. I imagine it will soon be properly ready. Still, if you manage to make it back to Johto, please let me know, and I will see where we are on progress.

[perfectteatime]

[ It's kind of his job sorry. ]

All the more motivation for me to train hard and win. I will return to you victorious. And with souvenirs. You need not worry about asking for anything. I am here for you, and should you need me I will drop everything.

[nastyboy]

I appreciate your concern, Professor. Please let us know if you run into any difficulties as well. There is not a one of use who would leave you if something happened.

[perfectteatime]

Of course. I know. I have the best students... and friends, in the universe.

[nastyboy]

[Professors, he's gonna CRY-]

And you are also the finest Professor and friend we could have asked for.

Just remember not to hesitate in asking anything from us. You need not be independent here, Professor.

[perfectteatime]

I could say the same to you. But I will bear it in mind.

I'll be back before you know it.
