006 - [Video]

[twiceinhabited]

[When she come over to Silver's house, he didn't come to greet him. Finding it odd, she went inside and look around for him. Nothing.

Then she try to call him over the SFC. Nope. Amane looks down at the Eevee that approaches her, recognising it as the one Silver's raising. After crouching down to pet it, she press a button on the SFC for a question.]

Have anyone seen Silver? I can't seen to reach him.

[She's calm, but there's a hint of worry and cautious hope.]

...It's possible that he went home, but if anyone knows, please tell me.

[Ah, that's... A quick check and no, he doesn't see Silver on the contact list.]

Sorry. I didn't see him yesterday. His name isn't on the contact list.

[twiceinhabited]

It's likely that he went home.

[There's a sense of loss with it. Going back home is normally good, but Amane can't help but feel unhappy about it.]

[bufudine]

[He suspects this too.]

I have something of his. Would you like it, in his absence?

[twiceinhabited]

[...]

I would like it, unless it's a gift for you.

voice -> video

[bufudine]

It's no longer mine.

[Serph turns the feed to video, pointing the camera at the Forest Quadrant first, before showing the outside of his base. Finally, he turns the camera to himself, so she can see who she's speaking to.]

I live near the Forest Quadrant.

[i.e. Come here to get Silver's stuff :T ]

video

[twiceinhabited]

[She watch the video, memorising the features as quickly as she can.]

I'll be over.

[...With an Eevee following her, apparently, as she get up to leave.]

action FOREVER

[bufudine]

[Eevee, huh? That little one liked Serph, though Serph hadn't shown it any affection in return.

Nevertheless, Serph's waiting patiently for her outside his base, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.]

ALL THE ACTION

[twiceinhabited]

[It took her a bit, but both Amane and the Eevee eventually arrives at the base. With a quick look, she easily spot him.]

/eyebrow waggle

[bufudine]

[Serph easily spots her, recognising her as the girl he saw on his SFC. He uncrosses his arms and approaches, giving her a nod in greeting.]

My name is Serph. Silver is a good friend.

[Look, for once, he remembered introductions!]

/swoon

[twiceinhabited]

[She stops at a good distance from him.]

I'm Amane Kuzuryu, Silver's girlfriend.

[Meanwhile, the Eevee walks over to Serph. Hi again.]

[bufudine]

[Silver doesn't talk much about his life unless asked, and Serph had never asked about his girlfriend ever since he'd seen Silver and Amane on the shipping wall. He recognises her name as being on the Defense Force roster as well, though.

He gives Amane a nod before glancing down at the Eevee. Hello. But he turns his attention back to Amane.]

So you two are close.

[He gestures for Amane to follow him and turns to lead the way around the back, where the orange rose bush and rows and rows of Vatheon mugs with half sprouted plants grow. Serph expects Amane to follow beside him.]

[twiceinhabited]

We are.

[She follows after him, knowing the Eevee will come along as well. She did glance around at the base, noting the orange rose bush and other such items along the way.]

[bufudine]

[Serph isn't one to pry, so he doesn't inquire into that any further. Well, they're already where he wants to be, anyway.

There's a hole in the ground -- concrete that's been cracked open with earth magic -- filled with soil. It doesn't look very special, save for the tiniest of sprouts poking out of the soil. Serph turns to face Amane and gestures to it.]

This is Silver's peach seed. He looked after it every day. It will need a new caretaker to continue growing.

[twiceinhabited]

[She looks at it, seeing how small and fragile the sprouts are.]

...I will take care of it for him.

[Until it fully matures. If she can be selfish, until Silver returns to the city.]

[bufudine]

[It takes years for a peach tree to grow fruit, so there's plenty of time.

He gives Amane a nod.]

At this stage, all it needs is careful watering. Come before evenings.

[twiceinhabited]

[A nod.]

I will. Thank you for telling me, Serph.

[bufudine]

[He nods in acceptance of her thanks. No worries, Amane.

... Well, he won't hold her here for any longer than she wants to stay.]

If you ever need anything, let me know.

[twiceinhabited]

[She nods again, as the Eevee looks at the sprouts. Then she turns around and look up at Serph.]

[bufudine]

[This time, Serph approaches the Eevee and crouches down beside her. He's been taught how to pet cats, so maybe the same thing applies to Pokemon? He holds out a hand to coax the Eevee over.

This was Silver's, right? He's surprised the creature didn't return to his world with him.]

Do you need help taking care of this creature?

[He doesn't know much about taking care of animals, unfortunately.]

[twiceinhabited]

[She seems to like it.]

I don't mind having help.

[Amane is not so prideful to decline help. She knows the Eevee from spending time with Silver, but there are still a lot for her to learn.]

[bufudine]

[Petting the Pokemon, then :> He's gentle with her. He nods. However...]

I have no experience in taking care of animals. But there may be someone I know who does.

[twiceinhabited]

[Yaaaaay, pettings!]

Who is it?
