[Kouta actually laughs at that, giving Micchy a surprised look.]
Aah, really? You think so? ... you've got a lot of faith in me.

Considering how much you pull new powers out of nowhere, I wouldn't be surprised.
[He turns his gaze over to the Glameow, and gives it a curt nod, before reaching over to the Pachirisu and smiling slightly.]
I have one of these, too.

It's not like I try! It just... happens...
[Excuse you, kid, you're still way too close to his owner, and if you don't back up soon you're liable to accidentally get a claw stuck in your leg.
Pachirisu, on the other hand, perks up when he realizes he's being reached for and saves Micchy the trouble of closing their distance by leaping into his arms with a happy noise.]
Aah! You do? It's pretty cute, isn't it?

Aah! You do? It's pretty cute, isn't it?
[He's had worse. But he nods, giving the Pachirisu a fond scratching from the head to the tail before letting him down. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a Pokeball, expanding it and then releasing Aki the Pachirisu.]
[Upon seeing another Pachirisu, she trills happily, and then looks up at Kouta. Friend! New friend!]
She's been with me for a while. She's pretty powerful.

[Pachirisu was about to complain about being set down (because he was really enjoying those scratches), but perks up and mirrors the trill, running circles around Aki before ducking behind Kouta and clinging to his leg, peeking out at her.
Kouta puts his hands out to his sides to keep from falling over at Pachirisu's excited running, then smiles and waves at the one Micchy released.
Yeah, he's... definitely going to avoid mentioning the Inves similarities.]
... ah. Micchy... ... I probably shouldn't, but... ... can I ask you something? About what happens?

... ah. Micchy... ... I probably shouldn't, but... ... can I ask you something? About what happens?
[He's already gone through that shock, Kouta. He knows how that is. Aki waves merrily at the other. It's okay! She's not gonna hurt you!]
[Micchy's smile falls a little bit as he looks up at Kouta again, though. Ah... of course.]
... Go ahead.
[Micchy's smile falls a little bit as he looks up at Kouta again, though. Ah... of course.]
... Go ahead.
[Despite seeming to fight with himself over being shy or not, Pachirisu jets back out, runs circles around Aki again, then gently butts his head against her side. He crouches down, tail flicking as he stares up at her and tries to make sure she's okay with playing.
... oh. Maybe Kouta shouldn't ask after all, but he's already this far. He knows he shouldn't ask about what happens to his team, he's not sure he could handle knowing any of them die, but...]
... what happens to Kaito?
... oh. Maybe Kouta shouldn't ask after all, but he's already this far. He knows he shouldn't ask about what happens to his team, he's not sure he could handle knowing any of them die, but...]
... what happens to Kaito?
[Of course! She makes a mock swipe at him, and chitters gently to let him know she's just playing and doesn't mean to hurt him. She reaches over and taps his tail, before zipping around in a circle. Catch her if you can!]
... He's still around. But... I don't know that I trust the kind of world he wants to build. Hes so obsessed with strength...
... He's still around. But... I don't know that I trust the kind of world he wants to build. Hes so obsessed with strength...
[Completely oblivious to his trainer's mood at the moment, Pachirisu trills before he starts chasing her, winding around both of their trainers and even around Glameow. ... Glameow, however, takes the opportunity to stick out a paw and knock Pachirisu over, but the smaller Pokemon just rolls over and then keeps going. He knows his friend only pretends to be mean and doesn't actually want to hurt him, so it doesn't bother him.
Kouta makes a thoughtful noise, crossing his arms in front of his chest.]
I always wanted to hope I could trust him. He... ... I don't think he's a bad person, but along the way I guess he just got misguided.
[Kouta ruffles his hair, huffing out a breath.]
... makes me want to go back and see what I can do.

Yeah. Least there's three of us now.
[ It's probably lucky that he and Bandou came in first so at least Anna wouldn't be alone. That's probably the last thing he'd ever want. Though, gosh... he and Bandou have been on the road most this time and for two guys, that's all well and good... ]
Only if you want to. Heard people settle down in town sometimes.

Cleaned? And Kusanagi didn't kick all your asses for making a mess?
[ Ah, good times those. He almost misses Kusanagi yelling at the boys for playing too rough, almost scuffing up the floor, accidentally spilling a drink on the bartop... good times indeed. ]
You coming with us on the road?
[ Like he doubts Eric would say no but he's giving his clansman the option to stay in a town if he wants. If there's one thing Suoh's learned about this place, it's that people seem to like to do their own thing here. ]

[He nods at Kouta's assessment. He's not sure about Kaito, but... well. He doesn't want to say that he thinks Kaito is a violent and unstable person. He doesn't exactly have room to talk on that front.]
... Whatever you can do... just make sure he doesn't win. And that Ryouma doesn't win, either. His sort of world would be... a nightmare.

And now they can't anymore. That could be a problem.
[There goes what chance she had of getting out of her own accord...]

Oh, trust me, I won't.
[The idea of him trying to worm his words into the ears of Botan, or Lightning, or Asami and Korra... just thinking about it makes her blood burn.]
I won't let you get anywhere near them.

Perhaps you could trade it for something that does strike your fancy, then? I'd imagine there must be something in this wretched hive for your tastes.
[Amazing.]
At least I know enough to know mine's some sorta fire chicken. ...I have no idea what the hell yours is.

...Well that is pretty nice.
[He says with another gesture to Kaj's Honchkrow companion.]
Hell of a bird if I've ever seen one.

I dunno about "problem." The weird dogs do enough fire-breathing around here, we don't need people helping.
[That elicits a bit of a chuckle from her, as she extends her left arm outward for the Honchkrow to flutter off and to the ground.
Hello, little Torchic.]
I suppose she does seem your sort of bird, and I won't deny that she's a good piece...
If she takes to you, I don't see why not. I've only had her an hour; I should hate to take up your offer when she's grown attached.
[She kneels down and extends that same hand toward the Torchic, trying to see how it reacts to being petted.
And she whispers, softly, to the little Torchic]
Now, come here, little pet. I'm afraid you're hardly ripe enough for a discriminating procurer...
[she stifles just a bit of a giggle.]
Not that I have any reason to believe he won't find more of you that strike his fancy.

[The Torchic tilts her head to the side before hopping forward a little to accept the pets. No matter who they're from, pets are awesome.
...Roman had been leaning over to have a closer look at the Honchkrow, but Kaj's words stop him short.]
...for a what?
...Roman had been leaning over to have a closer look at the Honchkrow, but Kaj's words stop him short.]
...for a what?
From your attire anyone back home would take you for a procurer. Be it for birds or whores, you have quite the eye for ah, curation.
[Translation: "I have now accepted that you are probably most likely a pimp, because you sure do dress like one."
But look on the bright side, she did kind of also say you have excellent taste and the tone she's saying it in implies she really doesn't find much of a problem with it.]

[...wait. Wait does she- does she really-]
...oh my god, are you serious?
[He's laughing, but not in a mean or spiteful way for once. Whatever he was expecting for her to tell him, it was not that.]
Well, ma'am, consider me duly flattered.
[Roman says, tipping his head to her along with his hat.]

... o-okay. I'll try.
[Kouta knows he doesn't really belong in this world. It's a feeling that keeps pulling at him and he's worried that he won't remember anything Micchy is telling him right now. ... but he has to try.]
Is there... anything else?

[Takatora listens, even though he doesn't know what to say. He gives Mitsuzane's body one last, firm hug before releasing him, though the touch doesn't feel anything like it might have when they were younger. It's as though all of the affection has been taken out of the action and he's doing it more out of obligation than anything else.
Now that the two are apart, Sylveon whines softly and pads back to Takatora, lightly pawing at his leg to be picked back up. He can tell his trainer is still very sad and wants to help him, somehow.]
Do you feel it's helped you, being here?
[Takatora doesn't look down at Sylveon, but he does put one hand back down to his side, which Sylveon gratefully accepts by wrapping one of his feelers around it and pressing his body against Takatora's leg.]
