Oh I knew she'd be gorgeous but I've only ever met one of the Alola Vulpix in person. This is just...she's perfect.

[The baby twilled again, looking up at Cissnei then back to the 'gear, head tilting.]

Yes, she is.

[shieldless]

...Perfect, you say? Then you promise to care for her with the kindness she deserves. [ He seems a little serious for a moment, before: ]

I'm glad you know - why, when I named my Servine, I had no idea she was a girl. I wonder if it amuses the man I named her after...

[notmyrealname]

Of course. She will get nothing but kindness from my team and I, Haurchefant. I promise you that.

[And she means it. Each and every one of her Pokemon are quite dear to her anymore.

Her expression shifts to amusement now as she cradles the baby Pokemon, gently petting her ears much to the Vulpix's delight.]

I'm sure it would. I have a few that I wasn't sure about so I tried to be as neutral with their names as I could. Ultimately I don't think Pokemon seem to mind much.

[shieldless]

[ Though he gives a nod, Haurchefant will be watching - and his own expression turns to amusement. ]

We can only hope the Lord Commander doesn't arrive in a bitter mood! Though I can imagine him seeing me would give him quite a shock, in any case!

[ A beat. ]

Do you recall that weird, but splendid weekend?

[notmyrealname]

He'd be far too distracted to care about a female Pokemon being named after him, I'm sure.

[Cissnei will make sure you're pleased with the care the little one gets, Haurchefant.

Her Furfrou finally makes another appearance, coming from behind the young woman to sniff at the Vulpix. The baby looks confused for a moment before twilling in greeting and licking Shuriken's nose. The Furfrou let's out a snort but seems amused, returning the lick before sitting beside her trainer.]

I do. I've still got pictures from that weekend, actually.

[shieldless]

Hah, he would be - from carrying his blade and protecting Ishgard to a land of relaxation and friendly dragons!

[ oh my gosh this is so cute haurchefant is sort of. beaming. ]

As do I. My brother came - my younger one, Emmanellian. And he found out I named my Zubat after him - oh, he seemed to be so disappointed.

...So I caught a Ralts to name after him, and my elder brother. Both half-brothers, mind you.

[notmyrealname]

The idea of friendly creatures like Pokemon is still so strange to me. I enjoy it, quite a bit, but back home this sort of thing wasn't possible.

[Befriending them. Using them to fight in a battle with you. Not gonna happen.]

Why? Zubat isn't that bad! [Cissnei's lips quirk into a grin as her Furfrou let's out a chuffing snort.] Was he pleased with his new namesake, at least?

[shieldless]

...As it is to me, dear Cissnei. Though some fight alongside Chocobo, and others have young pets who are to be trained for such deeds... it's much nicer here.

[ a beat. ]

Alas, he's not seen it. Perhaps if that weekend happens again, he can grace us with how a Gallade suits him. Or if my Pokemon can return home, if I were to vanish. And I suppose he saw my dear bat as frightening - dear Emmanellian is very excitable.

[ ...Note how he doesn't seem to think he'd return home. ]

[notmyrealname]

A lot nicer. I prefer Pokemon to the fiends back home. The summons some people used were interesting but not my sort of thing.

[She gives him a gentle smile.]

I'm sure, either way, he'll be ultimately pleased.
