Say you went home for a while and came back. While you were gone, you did something that would really end up upsetting a friend here if he knew. How would you tell them about that?

While I'm at it, what do you think about time paradoxes?

[Action; Ecruteak City]

[Outside the Pokemon Center today was one Otacon in a turtleneck and trenchcoat. Even after a few months, he as having trouble adjusting to how peaceful Johto was; it wasn't exactly living on an airplane. And it wasn't hopping from warzone to warzone.]

[It was quiet, and for some reason that kind of unnerved him.]

[But at the moment, he could distract himself with watching the Chatot perched on the roof of the Center.]

[Unless he looks TOTALLY pissed, she'll hop back forward again to throw her arms around him for one of her usual hugs. He'd better be used to them by now, after the more-than-a-year they've known each other.]</sub>

Awh, I'm sorry. Here, better?

[vulpesvivus]

[Oh fiiiiine, but he doesn't have to like your crazy hugs.]

[Who are we kidding, he loves sishugs.]

I guess I can forgive you just this once.

[foolishwren]

Thanks, bro! I'll neeeeever do it again. I promise.

_{[... until the next time she spots him with his guard down, anyway.]}

[vulpesvivus]

Somehow, I'm really not all that sure I believe you.

[foolishwren]

_{[She pulls away from him enough to look up at him with her most innocent grin.]}

You don't?

Why not?

[vulpesvivus]

Because you wouldn't be you if you weren't running around causing trouble.

[foolishwren]

... I guess that's true.

Sorry, you're doomed to suffer my obnoxiousness forever.

[vulpesvivus]

Well, I can think of worse things.

[foolishwren]

Yeah, when you think about it, I'm not so bad in the long run.
