[So Naoya just wanted a walk. Just a peaceful walk, nothing to get worked up over.]

[Yeah. Not today. The Pokegear's video clicks on, and shows Naoya currently in a fight with... a Mareep, apparently. There's a small box that seemed to have contained something previously, and by what Naoya is shouting it seems like the Mareep ate it.]

... no respect for the property of others, you horrible animal. I've never liked you!

[A Psychic-type voice floats through the Pokegear, sounding very tired and a little afraid.]

He's been like this all day, and then this Mareep set him off... can someone please come and help us? I can't drag my Trainer back into the city by myself...

[The video clicks off.]

Really? I suppose that makes sense. I can send a delivery over, though.

...Actually, can I buy some kind of grab bag? I'm with a couple girls, I bet they'll like snacks. Anyway, that's why we haven't traveled.

[He shrugs.]

I'm from Texas, Jade's from a deserted island somewhere in the tropical Pacific, and Penny. Penny didn't get out much. So we're not really equipped for winterquest.

That's understandable. ... I'll send you some blankets, too.

[Just gonna... make a mental note of it. They'll be warm and fuzzy at least.]

[Dave blinks with the blank surprise of a kid who isn't used to unprompted acts of generosity.]

--Oh, dude, you don't have to. I mean, we've been okay so far.

They're useful even without the cold. Don't worry about it. Are they all about your size? I wouldn't want to send anything too short if one of them happens to be abnormally tall.

I'm the tallest. I'm, I dunno, five nine, five ten? Still growing, so I don't know if that's accurate.

I'll make sure there's enough room. ... And seriously, don't worry about the cost. I handle the accounting a lot of the time, I know how much my salary allows me.

[Not that he ever skims the books, but he could. Probably.]

Okay. If you're sure, bro. 'Cause, seriously, I've got a part-time washing dishes, I'm not destitute, I can keep us in the lifestyle to which we are accustomed. Mostly.

[crouching_sin]

Nah, it's fine. I don't really buy much anyway.

[callbacks]

Okay. Well. Thanks, dude.

Not a problem.
