You've reached Lust. I'm not available at the moment, please leave a message.

If it's important enough, I'll get back to you.

I don't talk on videos, normally.

[What that's supposed to prove, he doesn't know. He's only started doing it because she always does it.]

I guess we are.

I know. But you talk to me this way. I understand that's meaningful.

Then why not spend time together in person, and see if we're comfortable with that? I'd like to know if we are or if we aren't.

[Meaningful? Please don't call it that...]

That's reasonable enough.

[He owes her that, at least. Scar knows he hasn't treated her fairly. But he had known so little at the time...]

That's all I'd like, when you and I meet up again.

But I like to think we're on our way to at least being decent friends.

...At least?

[He shouldn't have said that. He wants to take the words back as soon as they're out. But Raikov's teasing has been lingering in his head for the past few days.]

I think 'decent friends' is the least level of friendship one can attain, yes.

I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself, that's all.

I'm hardly a 'decent friend' regardless.

[The skepticism is evident in his expression.]

But I mean you know ill will, and I would prefer that I was able to... show that more clearly.

[Or at least treat her like he does others who are kind to him.]

Neither am I.

You'll get there, then. You do try, don't think I don't notice. I just don't want to make you uncomfortable by drawing attention regularly.

[Scar goes to staring ahead of himself rather than at the screen.]

Where are you, then?

[He's avoiding thinking about Greed, but that has been difficult as of late.]

Just got to Cerulean, beyond Mt. Moon.

If you go that way, be sure to keep an eye out for rare Pokemon.

We've been heading in that direction. I'm fairly certain we can see it in the distance.

[He's somehow hiding that bad taste in his mouth. Rare Pokémon. Right.]

I'm fairly certain it's the only way to go.

It may well be. It's an interesting place, anyway. Clefairies live there, deep in the mountain.

You passed through it?

[PRETEND LIKE HE DOESN'T KNOW.]

We did. I'd heard there were Pokemon that didn't come out often, so we decided to go looking for them.

[Grumpgrumbleugh]

Oh.

[Whoops that was a little too flat.]

And Cerulean is just on the other side?

Well I'd tell you all about it, but you don't strike me as a man who wants to listen to a story about dancing with magical pink Pokemon under a mountain.

It's not far.

[He looks back to the screen.]

I like Pokémon fine.

We should be there within the week, then.

I know you do. But that doesn't mean you want to hear every story that involves them.

That soon?

[The surprise in Lust's voice is the positive sort.]

[Scar simply lets it drop, then. It's just easier when she's chatty about something foolish like Pokémon.]

Unless something unforseen happens, most likely.

Just watch out for Pokemon raining from the sky.

They're far more dangerous when they explode.

I haven't heard any reports of Pokemon erupting in violent incendiaries when they hit the ground, so I think you should be safe.

[Yes, she knows he's referring to his own experience with the smoke-colored cat creatures, but she can't help but tease.]

If that were the case, I would reconsider my decision that staying here is a good thing.

If it were common for animals to fall out of the sky and explode, I don't think anyone would live here.

[Scar only shrugs as he sinks lower into his sleeping bag. He waits a moment before speaking.]

You should sleep.

[They aren't discussing anything important. Actually, most of this conversation has been completely pointless.

He really should mind that more than he does.]
