[ Private Text Sent to Ventus in the early Morning }

I must speak with you. Attend to me when you are available.

[ The feed clicks on to briefly show a Shinx's face before he grabs at the Gear, carrying the device in his mouth and turning it around to face his trainer. Said trainer's currently standing at what looks to be a dock, stretching quite languidly, and... in swimwear.

Unaware of the shenanigans her little Pokemon is up to, Nero pumps up her fist once she's done stretching. ]

Mmm! Such a beautiful day! I believe Spring has finally arrived. A good time for an exercise...

Right, Praetor?

[ There doesn't seem to be an answer to whoever Nero's just addressed... until a distant roar is heard. There's a slight rumble as whatever it is is coming closer, then a very loud splash occurs in front of Nero's face as a Gyarados rises from the depths of the oceans, peering down at her trainer. She merely laughs while her Gyarados lowers her head so that Nero can climb and sit on top of her crown. ]

Now... let us dance!

[ Her response from her sea serpent is a loud roar, before Praetor crashes back into the ocean, with Nero still on top. Lux the Shinx lets out a yelp and ambles closer to the edge of the dock, where Nero and Praetor the Gyarados pop out of the surface of the ocean ahead, and you can still hear the Emperor's jubilant cries.

Yup. Someone's bouncing with her recently evolved Gyarados. In Goldenrod waters. ]

[ Actual Video, a few hours afterward ]

[ The feed snaps back on after a moment, now showing Nero actually addressing the Gear herself. Still in her swim wear, but with a red towel draped around her shoulders and currently sipping on a can of lemonade, she takes a moment to swallow before speaking: ]

Good afternoon. Due to... recent events, I feel I must ask whether or not Johto holds an annual... festival, of sorts? Truly, there are times to be serious, but keeping that a constant in one's life is just as unhealthy as being too lax!

A "child"? You should have said so in the first place!

--eh? T-That didn't seem important... I mean... She's thirteen, so she's three years younger than me, you know?

... well! How about when you're both older?

*Nero no don't plant these kind of things into his head*

--eh?! S-She would still be... Ojou-sama... She's like a little sister, you know? Could you look at boy you thought of as a brother in that light if you watched him grow up...?

[ why not ]

So you would always consider her the younger sibling, even when she will grow to develop adult needs and worries?

*IT WILL END IN HAREM COMEDY TRAGEDY...*

... eh? EH?! I-- Um-- Y-Yes! Of course! I-- I'm her butler, so... I-I'll help her however I can, but-- t-those kind of things aren't...

They are not... what?

Th... Those are the kind of needs her suitors should be responsible for, not her butler!

I have seen plenty of occurrences where one's butler is also their suitor.

[ Oh, Romans. ]

--T-THAT'S NOT THE CASE HERE!

*Not on his side of things anyway, ha ha ha.*

[ She lets out a hearty laugh and her smile and eyes glimmer with a deviant light. ]

For now.

I-- You-- C-Can we please stop talking abou this kind of thing?!

How boring. Very well. I suppose we can no longer discuss the matter further until some progress is made.

T-There won't be any progress made! I-- I'm spoken for right now anyway!

Ooh! Going for the polygamy route?

WHAT?! N-N-N-N-NO! W-Why would you even-- What kind of conclusion is that?! I could never-- N-No one should ever...!

No one? Why, it was a rather common, and popular, practice in my time. There should be no shame in showing interest in multiple persons, so long as one already captures your heart!

*NERO HE'S TOO PURE OF A MAIDEN FOR THIS* --EH?! T-That's not...! I mean-- w-what if-- there's not anything like-- I'm not-- That's not the kind of thing I want to have happen!! I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings here-!

[ THAT'S JUST A FANCY WAY OF SAYING HE'S A VI-- ahem. ]

They would not be hurt if you were simply open about your tastes. If they cannot abide by it, move onto another!

*SO MUCH BLOOD RUSHING TO HIS HEAD fuuuu*

Those aren't my tastes!! Not at all! I mean I've kind of had two different girlfriends here I guess but that's something different entirely!!

... you had two ladies at the same time?

[ lololololol ]

--!! NO! N-Not at the same time!! Separately!! My first left and now I'm going out with someone else, that's all!!

Ah, I see. At the very least, it seems you recover quickly from such a lost.

[ There might be some context that she's not making a note of, however. ]

*SUDDENLY THIS IS REALLY AWKWARD OH GOD.*

I... I wouldn't call it... quickly... Yayoi was just there for me the entire time after everyone I traveled with was leaving, that's all...

So you bonded over comfort?

[ Totally not awkward. At all. ]
