Okay, so does albinism happen to run in particular Pokémon species? I thought it might've been a newborn thing, but it's been a while and normal fur hasn't grown in yet for him at all.

[A young, energetic Sneasel clambers his way up the back of York's chair. He's kind of excessively pink.

Someone's got his first shiny is what's happening here.

The Sneasel waves at the camera, then slips back down in an undignified tumble before running off again to play with York's Rotom. York watches him go before shaking his head.]

I ask 'cause I know that can cause eye problems, but he hasn't complained about it and Delta Two hasn't picked up any bad news from him. But he's a Dark type and a baby, so I dunno how much she'd be able to get from him, anyway. Do I need to get him glasses? Keep him out of the sun?

--Also, anyone celebrating Hanukkah this year, hope you had a good one. York out.

[What has he done.]

Kid--uh, Komasan--

[Ohhh my god. WELP.]

All right, Tiger, but take it from a professional soldier: Tough guys take care of themselves, too. It's part of survival. Nothing says 'tough' like surviving, right?

[Despite the warning, Komasan looks far too confident for his own good.]

If I die, I won't make it to the city anyway, zura! I have to survive, or else Hogosha can't go home, zura!

[Well, at least he's keen on living.]

It's okay, I'm not afraid of anything, zura.

[So of course the moment he says that, the sound of a twig snapping can be heard in the background. To absolutely no one's surprise, Komasan gives the most startled yelp, dropping his facade immediately.]

[...

Well, all right. It's just rain, right?]

If you're sure, dude. Since you let your buddy rest, though, how about I stay on the line with you? At least that way you got someone to talk to on the road.

[And someone to keep an eye on him. Poor kid.]

[Wiping his eyes quickly so it doesn't look like he totally wasn't crying after making that unholy noise, Komasan looks back into the feed, surprised by the offer.]

O-Oh, that's very kind of you, zura...

[He'll have to do something for him as a thank you once this grueling journey is over with. Like make him lunch!

...Although Komasan supposes it would help if he actually knew where York was.]

S-So...do you live close to the city, zura?

[York settles in for a long chat. At least he has his coffee.]

I live in a city. Not sure which one you're referring to, kid. Goldenrod?

[Ping]

Yeah, that's the one! That's the one I'm heading to right now, zura!

[Gosh, so many people are either going there or already live in Goldenrod. It definitely makes things easier, that's for sure.]

T-Then I can make you a monge~ lunch when I get there, o-okay, zura?

Aw, you don't have to do that, man. I like talking to people, it's no skin off my nose.

[It is, in fact, the opposite of a problem.]

I mean, I'm not gonna turn you down if you really want to, but don't feel obligated on my account, okay?

[Nope, he's already made up his mind.]

Kindness must be rewarded, zura! What sort of foods do you like? I can pick them up when I go grocery shopping, zura!

I'm not picky. [Soldiers can't afford to be.] What's your specialty, dude? I'll tell you if it's a yea or nay.

I can make all kinds of things, zura! Like a really delicious stew, o-or maybe I could grill some steak...and fry some vegetables...o-or I could buy some juicy pork and-

[As he rattles on, Komasan begins to drool. A lot. Surviving on trail mix and whatever else he can carry for two weeks has really made him miss things like actual food.]

Monge... I'm so jealous of you, this is going to be an amazing lunch, zura...

Oh, man. A steak sounds great.

[Texans, am I right.]

Dude, if you do a couple, we could have a picnic. Or, well, maybe not in this weather, but you don't have to leave yourself out of the feast, man.

Steak picnic, zura?!

[He doesn't seem to care about the whole weather situation, despite the fact that he's currently being tortured by it as he speaks. We're talking picnics. With steak.]'

MONGE!! I could even buy a nice picnic blanket to go with it, zura! Y-You're gonna be so happy, zura~

I bet!

[Hey, any meal York doesn't have to make himself is a good meal, in his opinion.]

So you cook pretty often? Is it a hobby, or?

[He can't help but beam, someone might be a little too proud.]

If you're gonna cook, you might as well cook well, zura! I used to cook all the time for my brother back home, I don't see why I can't cook for others while I'm here, zura.
