cursedwithpuns[Hope looks stunned.
He's just witnessed his little Surskit who was working so hard at training turn into this weird moth thing. He blinks with a smile on his face before turning the camera to the Masquerain flying around his head.]
I don't really know what happened. One minute we were training and then suddenly he went all white and changed into this thing.
[The Masquerain starts flapping, seemingly annoyed at being called a 'thing'. Hope blinks at him before laughing. That was definitely his Surskit.]
Lightning! Ven! See?
[He grins showing it again.]

Date: 12/3/12 13:33 (UTC)[Hope grins excitedly.]
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 13:39 (UTC)Hope, meet Alexander. I told you he was loud.
[Action] 1/2
Date: 12/3/12 13:41 (UTC)MAYBE IT'S FRIENDLY.]
[Action] 2/2
Date: 12/3/12 13:42 (UTC)If Alexander was a pokémon he'd probably look a lot like this!
[Super excited Hope now. He's tentatively, yet somehow excitedly coming closer.]
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 13:45 (UTC)It wouldn't surprise me. He earned that name for a reason.
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 13:50 (UTC)CRUSHING HUG.]
N-Nice to see you too--
[Okay breathing might be an issue now.]
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 14:00 (UTC)Alexander.
[One word, but said in such a tone that Alexander flinches and...gently sets Hope down, back on his feet. Uh...whoops?]
Re: [Action]
Date: 12/3/12 14:17 (UTC)Nice... [Cough] To meet you.
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 14:25 (UTC)Sorry, Hope. Big sis is just going to cover you now. No need for you to get soaked as she glares at a very happy tortoise.]
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 14:28 (UTC)[He gives a few deep breaths.]
So... why is he so happy to see me?
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 14:33 (UTC)[Said as she wrings out her hair, tossing it back over her shoulder. It is instinct...one that's strong even after months of him not being here.]
You remember that I told you you'd been here before, right? He was your starter from your first time here. He never forgot you.
[She'd never been able to find the rest of his team the second time. It still bothers her a bit.]
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 14:34 (UTC)[...]
So... he remembers the other me?
[That's... slightly disheartening. Hope is having confidence issues.]
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 14:43 (UTC)Probably. Not that he seems to care.
[Indeed; one glance at Alexander will tell Hope that the giant tortoise really doesn't care that Hope doesn't remember. He just seems jubilant to have an old friend back...and he looks a few steps away from another crush-hug, if Lightning wasn't standing in his path.]
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 15:06 (UTC)He doesn't. It's kinda easy to tell.
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 15:15 (UTC)I did warn you he was loud, remember? Could give Snow a run for his gil with how expressive he is for being a giant tortoise.
[Action]
Date: 12/3/12 15:55 (UTC)[He grinned.]
[Action]
Date: 13/3/12 02:52 (UTC)[A tiny chuckle. Alexander couldn't stomp on Snow the same way the Adamantoises could, but he could certainly headbutt him. ...Etro she misses that lug.]
[Action]
Date: 13/3/12 11:08 (UTC)When Snow gets here we should make them try it!
[Because Hope knows they'll all be together again soon.]
[Action]
Date: 13/3/12 11:14 (UTC)Think he can manage with a broken nose, or should I hold off on punching him for a while?
[They'll all find a way to be together again someday. They have to be.]
[Action]
Date: 13/3/12 11:25 (UTC)[He grins at Lightning.]
Though it is kinda funny that you can floor him.
[Action]
Date: 13/3/12 11:28 (UTC)[And that was just the first time. Fal'Cie...has it really been that long?]
You could knock him over too, you know. With enough practice.
[Action]
Date: 13/3/12 11:31 (UTC)[Action]
Date: 13/3/12 11:33 (UTC)[Reaching out and...yep. Hair fluffles. So dedicated, lil' bro.]
[Action]
Date: 13/3/12 11:37 (UTC)[Hope smiles.]
Absol learned Swords Dance. If he uses that and Pursuit, he really packs a punch.
[He pets the pocket where he keeps his pokéballs.]
[Action]
Date: 13/3/12 11:44 (UTC)I'm sure. But can he outlast his opponent to give it that punch? All the strength in the world won't matter if he can't hit his target.
[It's an honest question; she's not trying to belittle his training methods or anything like that. She just wants to be sure he can defend himself if the need arise.]
