[Video/Action; New Bark Town]

A question.

[It took him a while, but the relieved face on the screen could notify you of the fact that he actually got the Gear working the way he wanted it to.]

While I appreciate the 'hospitality' that's been bestowed to me, I have something important to go back to.

[there's some awkwardness as a Budew peeked into the feed, while the dark-haired male let out a small sigh.]

Not now, little one.

[Gently pushing her away from the feed, he's going to continue speaking.]

Thus, if someone could kindly lead me back to Fuyuki City, I would be thankful for your aid.

[...And with that said.]

Ah, if you need something to call me by, Lancer would be fine.

[The feed's going to be cut off at this point.]

...Well, it still looked too young for it's age to be able to do that.

[then again, this place is strange enough as it is.]

Starter Pokemon are generally weaker than ones hatched from an egg, but it is possible for baby Pokemon to be exceptionally strong. I doubt that to be the case with your own.

How interesting though. To start with something like that?

I take it they're not a common choice for beginners?

[there's no other way he could take that reaction as okay.]

Even the smallest bud could be nurtured into a formidable fighter, if they're trained well.

Poetic, but no. My surprise comes from having done battle with you before...

[ People often started off with Pokemon identical to them in some way, didn't they? So why was his a plant? ]

Never mind it any. Have you been well in this land thus far?

...As well as a confused person is supposed to be.

[...which means he's fine and not hating everything right now.]

It is a little too much to take it at once, is it not? I wonder what I may do to alleviate your concerns any.

Thank you, but you've done a lot for me already.

[And to be honest it's making him feel bad for not trying to find things out for himself due to being a little bit disoriented.]

So don't worry too much about me, Saber.

Oh, am I being bothersome? [ Saber... ]

I just know what it is like to suddenly appear somewhere new and unknown. Having lived here a number of years has made it easier to provide aid to newcomers after all.

Years?

[That's the immediate thing he kind of... zoned in on.]

Well, that is a bit of assumption. [ She's rounding it up now. ]

I will have been here for two years in the next couple weeks. I know I hardly look a day older, but that is the truth.

[ Except she looks several days older. Weeks, months, even age with the way she stresses about things. Her skin's pale enough that it looks like she doesn't even bother to go anywhere near the sun these days. ]

[...He's noticed, but he figured that if she's keeping a front, then there's no need to press her about that.

Well, not now, in any case.]

Two years are still quite the length of time for one to spend in a different world, though.

[no shit sherlock.]

[ Yeah, she's looking at him with that exact expression read out on her face easily. ]

Yes, but you learn to adapt. Do not think for a moment I have forgotten what it takes to be a knight during my stay here. Combat may be forbidden, but never forgotten.

Of course not, it'd be far too cruel of me to underestimate you just from that fact alone.

[he's not that kind of person after all.]

[ She just has to reaffirm it. Pride and all that. ]

Excellent. Will you be heading to Goldenrod City anytime soon?

[There's a nod to answer her question and:]

Yes, The Prince of Light was gratuitous enough to offer me a free lift from Violet City.

[Going to let that sink in...]

The Prince of Light? I was not aware there was such a title among the kings of this land.

[ To be fair, she only knows about "King" Bowser and her good friend. ]

...Well, I believe he also goes by Lancer in this land.

[...dropping the bombshell here.]

He is a prince?!

[ Why would he tell her that when they've been so close and informal with each other!!! Not that he has any idea, but her reaction is anything but stoic. ]

I see. I was his ally this entire time and never knew.

...It had been a well-known fact within my homeland.

[yeah...]

I never knew...

[ How will she ever forgive herself for being so casual with a prince?! ]

At the very least you've known of it now.

[look at the bright side!]

We spend many days together so casually. How frustrating that is for me...

[ Another sigh. ]

The only advice I could give right now would be to confront him, unfortunately.

[which would lead to shenanigans probably.]

Then I shall do so with your blessing, Lancer.

[ Tilting her head. ] Will you seek me out once you arrive? It has been some time since we last clashed on the field of battle, but I cannot deny the fondness I have for those memories. Selfish as it may be to request it, I would very much like to see you once more.

Far be it for me to refuse a request from those that follows the code of chivalry.

[that's a yes.]

I will look for you upon my arrival, this I promise.
