[ The feed opens to Luisa, looking a bit confused in what looks to be some kind of cave behind and around her. She's frowning, and for a moment seems to be trying to think of what to say. ]

So...I know we just got back from Hisui and everything, and there have even been some Pokemon from Hisui here. But, uh...

[ The camera turns, and there is a Hisuian Liligant that seems to be observing its reflection in a pool of water. ]

The thing is, I caught Florita as a Petilil here in Johto. [ The camera turns back to Luisa. ] Or well, I guess not in Johto technically. It was on that island we went to for prom. But I caught her here before all the Hisui stuff happens. That's why I'm surprised that she evolved as the Hisuian one.

[ Finally seeming to realize that she's being talked about, the Hisuian Liligant looks up, and the camera turns again as she gives a happy little trill and spins around in place. From behind the camera, Luisa laughs a little. ]

I think I might need to start calling you something else now...

Indeed. I wonder how many share similar reasons for wanting to stay as they are... I do not suppose you were able to find out why Inigo preferred to stay a Mudbray, did you?

[neverbreaks]

Oh, uh...no, not really. I didn't actually think to ask, to be honest. [ It seems kind of silly not to, now that she thinks about. ] He just said that he didn't want to change, and if it made him more comfortable to stay that way then I was fine with it.

[nastyboy]

Well, sometimes it is as simple as that. And as long as he is happy, one could hardly ask for more.

Back to the star of the day, I hope that you and - well, I do not know if she will be sticking with Florita, but I hope you both find a name that satisfies. Even if it is the one currently held.

[neverbreaks]

Exactly, yeah.

Thanks. I'm thinking of calling her Bella, after my sister.

[nastyboy]

Bella! What a wonderful name.

...I do not suppose it has anything to do with bells, does it?

[neverbreaks]

[ Luisa can't help a laugh. ] No, nothing with bells. It's short for Isabela. I think the name means "God's promise", or something similar.

[nastyboy]

God's promise... A lovely name. It sounds similar to some of the name meanings in Faerghus.

A fine thing to pass onto someone dear like your new companion. Perhaps you should get her a little scarf or the like to celebrate the new name? At least, my own seem to like having tiny bits of clothing all their own.

[neverbreaks]

Faerghus? That's the place where you're from, right? [ She thinks she remembers him mentioning that. ]

Oh, that would be cute! I'll ask her if she'd like one, maybe Mira could make one for her.

[nastyboy]

That is right - the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. Although that is often such a mouthful, you would really only say such a thing in more serious matters...

[Or, you know, if you were talking to people from the church. Dimitri is well aware of how the church feels Faerghus should feel on their linked past.]

Mira - your sister, yes? How has she been doing since you two reunited? Has she been taking to the journeying well?

[neverbreaks]

That does sound like a lot to say all the time. [ Faerghus sounds just fine to her. ]

Yeah, Mirabel. She's been doing pretty well. We've mostly just been traveling just to see the different towns and cities, so it's been pretty nice.

[ Especially since they're getting to travel together. Those first couple of weeks when she had been on her own had been tough, and she hadn't even started camping then yet. ]

[nastyboy]

Indeed. While me and mine have since settled down for ease and to have things exactly as we want them... I cannot say I do not miss how fantastic it was to travel. To see the things I would never have otherwise, enjoy the serenity that came with life on the road...

All without fear.

At any rate, if you ever wish for some recommendations of places to eat or visit in your travels, please let me know! I would be glad to help.

[neverbreaks]

Yeah, it's been pretty great. I don't think we'd ever get to travel like this back home, so it's nice to be able to at least see this world.

Oh, that'd really help a lot! We're heading to Mahogany Town from here, so any suggestions while we're over there would be great.

[nastyboy]

Oh, if you go to Mahogany, then you simply must take a spare bit of time to travel northwards to the Lake of Rage. Despite its name, it is a beautiful place, and it is the perfect weather before the hard winter sets in!

And your Bella may like the greenery as well!

[neverbreaks]

Lake of Rage...okay, got it. We'll be sure to check it out!

[nastyboy]

I will be glad to hear your thoughts on it. I imagine that when the seasons change, the multitude of colors spread throughout the trees will be quite the sight to see!

[neverbreaks]

Oh yeah? That sounds like it'd be really pretty. Maybe we'll visit it again later.

But yeah, we'll head up there and I'll let you know. Thanks!

[nastyboy]

We'll look forward to it, then!
