[G'raha clicks on his 'gear looking a bit tired, but like...not in the haggard scholarly way of someone who's been pushing himself. More like the "I am experiencing a whirlwind of holidays that are similar to ones I know but still different enough that I'm confused" kind of tired, which is pretty valid. But hey, that sure is the top of a Pokemon egg peeking in from the bottom of the screen - he'll angle the video down so people can see he's got it in his lap, wrapped in his scarf. Uh, for warmth, I guess?]

So I am assuming this is not an unusual occurrence, given all my companions received a similar sort of gift, but...I must confess, though being designated as a Pokemon breeder, this is my first time caring for one of their eggs. Do mystery eggs often pop up like this as some kind of gift around this world's holidays, or is this a special case? Mine is...still not hatched, which is fine, but I'm going out of my way to make sure it isn't neglected and...am I doing something incorrectly?

[He. He doesn't want to kill it on accident, you know?]

If anyone might have a tip or two that wouldn't be in the provided handbook, I would very much like to hear it, I...I would like to do this right, for the benefit of the egg.

[A pause, as he looks away, fumbling with the 'gear. He's probably trying to turn it off, but it catches this before he finally hits the button to end the recording.]

-Would make sense to have some experience if I'm going to help them with what they want to try-

[ Minfilia is Suddenly Concerned!!! Before pausing. ]

Perhaps it is simply a late bloomer of an egg? My Deino took a month to hatch...

Oh! And if you wish, you could borrow my Larvesta - I believe that she aids with egg hatching.

It seems several people have had such eggs delivered to them...I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary if it hasn't hatched quite yet. Several species do take longer to incubate.

If you are worried, though, I find it's best to rig them in a sling and keep them close to your body heat. A pokemon with a higher body temperature may also help, but the eggs do best when kept close to you.

[A pause.]

It's normal to be anxious, when first experiencing fatherhood. You'll do alright.

The few eggs I've received before all hatched at different times...I don't think you've done anything wrong. But perhaps we could make a sling for you to carry it easier with you?
