[Video | Action for Goldenrod]

[ The feed opens up to the Gear bouncing along the ground. It slides to a stop, but from off the screen are the telltale sounds of a rambunctious Pokemon about, as well as a frustrated Saber sighing. Not long after, two Pokemon trod along the feed: ]

[ The Axew tilts his head and rubs as his tusks while the Deino chomps on air. Suddenly, there's a sound of clothing being ripped and a brief roar of flame soon follows. ]

You will learn discipline, bug- [ Saber's voice is nothing short of threatening, and there's a hint of steel laced in her tone. ] -or I shall have Aestus burn you to cinders. You will either appreciate the color red, or perish. Your original trainer would have learned that much.

[ There's a hiss that could only come from a defiant, wild Scyther. After a moment, her footfalls can be heard coming closer and Saber picks up the Gear to address the open feed with an expression that is just brimming with frustration and anger. There's a clear cut on her cheek that drips red and darkens her slightly tattered uniform an even deeper shade as it drops, which might add to her growing ire. That said, she gathers herself with a deep breath, and in the background can be seen a Charizard giving a LVL5 Death Glare to a hissing and spitting Scyther that's held against a corner of the room. ]

Apologies for the interruption. It appears that, upon the dawn of a new year, I have been blessed with a gathering of new Pokemon. [ Pause. ] But be cursed with the disappearance of a companion. I believe that is a sign for me to move on and complete my badge collection. I hear this Clair is the last of Johto's list of Gym Leaders. Does she prove as much of a challenge as her title would suggest? So far, I have been filled with nothing but boredom and disappointment with the ones I have opposed.

[ And then Saber promptly cuts the feed. Those within the Breeding Center lodgings might hear more thumps and bumps going along as Saber tries to restrain Archer's unruly Scyther. If not that, she'd be busy packing a few things before hopping on her Charizard and flying off. ]

[Private Message to Kayneth]

When would you like me to arrive as a model? I would like to first get my last Johto badge before visiting you. More importantly, where are you?

*ha HA all that racket was noisy enough for Hayate to realize it was from Saber, check the gear for her video, then loop around to finding her.*

Saber-saaaaaaaaaa~n... Please refrain from letting loose the dogs of war while still indoors. At the very least make sure you do it on the first floor~!

Your original trainer?

[ By time she finishes saying that much, the inevitable sinks in. She's been so caught up in working that she can't necessarily tell when the house has less occupants. Fortunately enough, she does lock herself up in her office whenever these things do occur... ]

Ah, I see.

[ Her door opens and an Axew and Deino tumble out. Saber just gives Hayate her own LVL5 Death Glare. ]

Did you need something, butler?

*erk... Stay strong, Hayate Ayasaki... You've faced higher level glares!*

N... Not really a need, exactly... I was just coming to make sure you weren't missing parts of your room...

[ The feed comes on and it shows Saber trying to hold in her new Axew and Deino in her arms. The cut is till left unattended, but it looks like it's stopped dripping for now. ]

You and I need to talk.

You are leaving to travel, I understand that much. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Please feel free to take what you will need from the kitchen.

[ That's what they were going to talk about, right? ]

[ The Axew sniffs at Hayate's feet while the Deino nibbles on his pants leg. Saber cranks up the level to ten. ]

If you would like to help me deal with this unruly beast of a Scyther, by all means. Or polish up the room - the bowman did as much as he could before he left.

[ Have a rude snort. ] I will need for you to check on these fledgelings- [ She gestures with her arms at the two dragons. ] -first. The Axew belonged to the bowman, and I will need a solution to his Scyther.

I'm just-- *Errrr... Wow, this is almost Called Her Old level of glaring...*

Just-- *Brushing at his pant leg making a small motion with his hand at the Deino.* --wondering why you don't handle this outside if he's giving you that much trouble... Besides, if you're planning on leaving I'd tidy up your room while you were gone regardless of if you told me to.

You could borrow some of my clothes.

[ Spoilers: she doesn't own a red thing save for a ribbon she sometimes wears in her hair. ]

Do you need me to add them to my Pokedex? I have not seen an Axew before, but the Deino. Hm, I have one of my own. He reminds me of a man that is with us no longer.

I was sorting through Archer's-- [ An uncomfortable pause. Clears her throat. ]

Archer's inventory. I wished to know which one carried his Ditto. Because that insidious bowman is no longer here, I apologize on his behalf.

[ Though when she says that, she still makes it a snap. Her Deino flicks her tongue and at Hayate's hand. Being blind, it recognizes hands and thinks it's Saber's. The Axew rubs his head on Hayate's smoother foot. ]

Hmm. I was thinking more along the lines of giving him to you. I am sure he would have been pleased with that decision.

[ She says the last part in a neutral tone. ]

Do so. We are in our-- hrmph. My chambers. I have cornered the Scyther with my Charizard.

... Please do not light anything on fire.

[ Saber will cut her PokeGear at that. If anything, it gives her more time to reflect on the weight of the other Saber's words. Pleased with that decision? She's not sure what she means by it, but maybe it can be ignored in favor of settling the Scyther's rage. The door opens as she steps in towards the scene. ]

Hurting it will do you no good.

[ And Saber greets her counterpart with a steely glare at that. Parts of her royal dress is cut up and there's the mark on her cheek; the Scyther doesn't look scathed, just scared of her Charizard, who gives Arturia a grunt of acknowledgment. ]

Does he look the picture of injured? [ TSUN mode on. ] Never mind him. Here they are.

[ Saber lets go of the two baby dragons. The Axew trods up to Arturia's legs and sniffs at her knees. The Deino fumbles her way to the counterpart. ]

Freshly-hatched?

[ She squats down to their level all while staring towards the Scyther instead. The poor creature was probably upset over the loss of their trainer more than anything else. ]

Your Deino is colored strange. Much like many of the other reports. [ Neglecting the Axew in favor of the Deino, she'll reach out to ruffle around it's head. ] I cannot say the same for the Axew as I have never seen one before.

Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't know your frie.... um... servant, had left. There's no need to apologize then.

*Wow what is going on at his feet this is kind of distracting him!! Like having two cats circles around him... He's never seen one of either of these before, so he's kind of missing the blind part, so he makes yet another hand motion... this time more of a small wave, as if trying to convey "In a moment!" ... though not like that'll get across.

Correct. Is there some sort of Pokemon disease running about? Many are showing their Pokemon with varying degrees of changes to their bodies. They also seem to glisten when out of their pokeballs.

[ Saber merely watches while getting a tissue to dab at her cut. The Deino moves her head against Arturia's hands while the Axew just walks around the King of Knights, curious. Trainer somehow is at two places at the same time! ]

[ Poor Axew. Saber finally gives it the attention it deserves with her other hand to pat it's head. ]

No, this is a rarity. There is nothing wrong with them from what I can see. [ Tapping their heads. ] No matter, I will check to be certain. Open wide, you two.

[ Then she mimics what she wants them to do by opening her mouth wide to show them her teeth. ]

I believe it still needs to be said. It is his Pokemon making most of the noise this morning.

[ HUFFS. Just take it as her, also, indirectly apologizing because wow why would an emperor ever apologize to butlers. The Deino doesn't see the gesture, but feels the motion of air moving around and makes a leap to grab at his fingers with her mouth. Due to just being a mere baby, there's no teeth, but it's an obvious way to try and get his attention. The Axew is rubbing his tusk and sort of scraping that along Hayate's foot now. ]

[ The Axew makes pleased noises and licks at her hand before doing as it's told. Good thing Arturia already knows about Deinos and their inherent blindness, so she follows suit. Being hatchlings, they bare no fangs yet. ]

Mmm? What are you doing there? [ Saber herself just watches in curiosity as she's no breeder. ]

Have you never checked a child's mouth when they are ill?

[ Or had her own checked? ] If there is something the matter, they will shown the signs in their throat.

[ Not that she's much of her a nurse, but she has learned things. This house used to be full of teenagers and younger children who were often sick. ]

As I thought, they seem to be well. You should be more concerned over the Scyther than anything else.

[ Saber refrains from answering the first question because of touchy reasons. Ahem. After Arturia's assessment is done, she feels a bit of relief... before annoyance blossoms while she glances at said Scyther. Her Deino and Axew, however, keep their mouths open, waiting. ]

Hmph. I will not change my preference for a beast like him. You shall have him.

I already have a Scyther, Saber.

[ With a laugh, she places her hands under both of their chins and tap upwards to try to get them to shut. ]

That is all I needed, young ones. Please show her kindness. She is only rough with those she loves.

Ah, but if you do truly need me to watch over them while you travel, I could raise them.

[ She blinks - it's one of the rare times she sees her counterpart openly laugh. Still, she tries to hide her astonishment by focusing on the subject of the Scyther. ]

And I have one in my possession as well; to be exact, it is a perfectly well-mannered and well-trained Scizor. I have no need for another, and his murderous hatred for the color red will only have us exchange blows. If he is with you, the bowman wouldn't have anything to worry about.

[ Then she glances down at her baby dragons. ] These ones, however... I am intrigued by their different pallor of skin. I would like to train them for a while, but once I am done, I will hand Caladbolg and Hydra to you for breeding purposes, if you so desire.

As long as you weren't wak-- HRK!

*That is the sound of him yanking his hand up away from that bite at the very last second. Since while a comical image, shaking around a tiny looking dinosaur like 'mon attached to his hand doesn't sound fun.*

Are... Are these two always like this? I'm starting to worry for my lower half here...
