[He's hesitated on this text for a while, but he's looking at the pokemon asleep around him while they camp and he really should.]

i didnt get to say before but thanks. for trying to answer my questions
and for the sword

Oh, Keith! It's so good to hear from you!

I'm so happy that you're pleased with the Honedge! Shiro made it sound so important; you needed her more than I did. How is Alabaster doing?

shes fine
i think ?
hard to tell if a sword is happy

but yeah i
something important from home didnt make it here
shiro was trying to make up for it

thanks

I recently inherited an Aegislash (her fully-evolved form!!!!!!! exciting!!!!!!!) and it's hard for me to tell when he's happy or not. I just watch his eye.

You're sososososooooo welcome. I hope she makes you smile when you see her!

Even if we got off to a rough start, it means a lot to know I helped you.

[Hey can we get uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh an instruction manual on what to do with genuine kindness?? Keith stares at the text for a second.

A few seconds.

A nearly solid minute.]

yeah im
sorry about that
the rough start

You don't have to apologize.

I was teasing you a little too. So I'm sorry.

[Wait, so he wasn't just losing his temper over.. nothing, like everyone always told him? He was being teased? Christ. He'll never get the hang of this.

Rather than try to navigate a proper response, he sends over a picture: honedge with the hatched vulpix and his litten piled against his sleeping bag. Happy. Safe, unharmed.]

[ Upon receiving the picture, Mari settles against the pillows at the head of her bed. She looks over it and smiles at the cute little 'family' curled up together with the sword.

Her fingers work away at a reply thereafter: ]

I wouldn't have guessed you to be the cuddly critters type. They all look so great. This really gave me the smile that I needed today.

I hope that one day we can meet so Alabaster can see what she'll look like when she grows up. That and just to say hi to you!

[ She sends her own picture over of herself in front of the Pokemon Tower where she is in Lavender Town, hugging her Aegislash like she would a person with her leg popped up and a big smile. Which is just

bizarre. ]

Here'a Calibur! I think they'd get along swimmingly!

[He wasn't expecting a response, let alone a long one but-- Oh. Hey, wait. It becomes two (?!) swords? He looks at Alabaster like she was lying to him all this time!

But he does notice something else. (And he's ignoring the comment of being the 'cuddly critters type', that's... He doesn't know how to deal with that.]

yours lets you touch it ?

He doesn't always like it. Handling him can be a challenge.

If I get him relaxed enough, I can give him a bath and sometimes get him to sit still for pictures!

but when he's had enough he sure lets you know

alabaster doesnt let me touch her at all

[She's a sword! How is he supposed to use a sword if he can't grip the hilt!]

she doesnt mind the others though

Pokemon are so funny that way. Their personalities are fun to figure out.

She might just be a pretty hands-off kinda gal. I didn't get to know her very well before I handed her off to Shiro.

I was a little sad about it. When I found out she was going to someone I kind of knew, it made me feel better. Giving out eggs is one thing.

of which i still have a TON of at the moment of all kinds. i'm drowning!!!!
