I'll make this fancy later okay

I should think so. It seems quite powerful at the very least. A physical protector alongside Winfield, with Susan supporting in the back. My home seems to be very well defended.

[She reached over to scratch at the Absol's ear, causing it to lean into the scritching.]

Is there anything I should know about caring for one?

[silvertongueheir]

[Aw, cute. That's very nice to see.]

They're omnivorous, and require mostly meat. It's also probably best to give it regular time outside, especially somewhere it can climb. Their original habitat is the mountains, after all. And of course, be aware of their warnings-though I think you need little reminder of that fact.

[onerthes]

The climbing might be a little difficult, though we could take walks out by the mountains and in the forest, but I will definitely let they and Winfield have the run of the back yard and try to get them out often enough.

... Yes. I've noticed it seems a little skittish at times. [She frowned and scratched its head.] I imagine it is suffering a bit like me. This place, after all, is always full of danger and bad visions, is it not?

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus nods.] That sounds good enough. Pokemon are fairly adaptable to different environments, so not having actual rocks to climb shouldn't worry it too much.

That seems likely. But it also seems you're the most qualified to help it handle such issues.

[onerthes]

Yes. I think that I have a certain knack for being able to help someone dealing with visions of the future. I'll certainly help it to not be quite so skittish, until it gets used to the sensation.

You just have to learn to tune it out. [She thought about it for a moment and looked down at the creature carefully.]

Say, how do I know if it's a girl or boy?

(OOC: *laugh* We can handwave that he tells her in the next post.)

[silvertongueheir]

Well, most Pokeball-scanning devices can determine that, though we don't have these here. So... [And he explains how to check as noninvasively as possible, presumably.]

[onerthes]

Ah, thank you. It looks like you're a girl, eh? Well, then I will call you... [She glanced back at her bulletin board full of names she didn't recognize, seeing one that showed up far more often than most, just like Winfield.]

I'll call her Sharona. I hope her namesake won't mind.

[silvertongueheir]

It's quite the lovely name. Though I'm afraid I can judge that even less than you can.

[onerthes]

It is... a chance to keep her name with me. I don't want to forget her or Winfield, so ... my friends here will share the name. A little piece of home, if you will.

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus nods.] It does seem like a fine way to remember them.

[onerthes]

Thank you. I thought so as well. And I can only hope Sharona is strong enough to suit her own strength. I suspect so. My old friend looked quite dangerous in her own way.

Thank you for your help, Franciscus. I appreciate it.

[silvertongueheir]

It's no trouble. Feel free to contact me again should you need any more advice, of course.
