@infinitesmile [ feels… familiar. but… less foreboding, less off-putting ]
Hello!! Have we met before? I don’t recall.
[ which is a straight lie considering he remembers anything and everything. it’s kind of his job ]
i give myself to you. i long for you; i who usually long without longing, as though i am unconscious and absorbed in neutrality and apathy, really, utterly long for every bit of you.
i want you to know that it is okay not to love me. i want you to know that you are not the first person who found it a little too tough, who took two steps back when my jaws started snapping.
@dreamingism Oh, don’t worry. I know you’re never the instigator. You’re always bein’ good. I just worry a lot. I think a lot of Pokemon fight just because, and, y’know, that’s fine, just some take it pretty seriously…
You just be safe, okay?

@dreamingism I missed you too, bud. I hope you’ve been taking it easy!
I’ve seen you get into battles /I’d/ walk away from, you lil’ rascal.
[ Pretends to give Zeni a noogie, but doesn’t press hard ]
But, you always pull through, so, I shouldn’t worry…
@tallydsquietade Is there anything, anything at all, that helps..?
[ he tentatively puts a hand on their shoulder, forgetting he might be overstepping boundaries ]
What is your name?
@tallydsquietade [ at the increase in volume, he flinches just slightly. of course, he’s overthinking things again ]
(What did I do? Was it something I said? How do I help you??)
…No, I… don’t think I understand. I won’t pretend to understand your pain.
@dreamingism [ catches Zeni, and gives him a big hug ]
What’s going on, bud? [ somewhat jokingly ] You’ve gotten taller, huh?
[ holds him in one arm, grinning widely ]
@tallydsquietade What won’t end..? It might help to express it.
[ he steps closer, in an attempt to see their face, because he’d been behind them. he’s also thinking about what he could bring them if they needed it ]
