44th moon [video/action]

[Today's backdrop is the Goldenrod Pokémon Center's kitchen. The cameramon would be Noelle the Blissey, considering the soft Bliss, bliss that can be heard. And the foreground?

An omelet. One large enough to feed a whole castle, with cheese and mushrooms and sausage bits. You could practically smell it through the screen.]

It'll not cook faster if you make a video of it, you know.

[The cook arrives, looking tired but much better than he did last time he posted. And this time he apparently doesn't mind the feed.]

How many people here come from worlds with inhabited moons? From what I've heard, we are in the minority.

[He pauses to study the color of the meal.]

If anyone is hungry, come to the Pokémon Center. We have more than enough to share.

[Free food! Who could ask for more?]

Hopefully the weather'll hold up for a while longer. Or clear up.

That'd be appreciated. Last year was rather unpleasant.

Seems like it was so long ago.

I suppose it would be, at your age. It'd not be for me, were it not for the absence of my family.

Right. They left.

...they were nice though.

They all are, and not even half of them have shown up.

Maybe one day, I can meet them all.

I've no doubt you'd get along with Ceodore, at least. The others might be harder to talk with.

Ceodore's your son, right? What's he like?

He's stubborn and strong and filled with a sense of justice and sadly lacking in self-confidence and pride. But he's learning, even if I'd hoped it'd be in a calmer environment.

He kinda sounds like Sora.

[Though he can sort of relate to the self-confidence]

And do you get along with that sort of personality?

[Plus angst. Yay!]

Sort of. I mean, I get along with Sora for the most part.

I doubt any pair of people can get along at all times.

Some seem to be able to.

They only pretend. Believe me.

Doesn't seem right.

A small argument every so often never hurts anyone, you know.

It doesn't? Most of the arguments I've had do.

You can argue about silly things like breakfast or a new carpet, too. And even great arguments can be mended as long as both parties are willing to talk openly.

[Not really looking at Cecil anymore. And his mind's kind of wandering.]

Guess I messed up then.

...Not necessarily. Friendship is hard to break, even after arguments and decades spent apart.

[That, he knows all too well.]

You really think so?

Of course. ...Seventeen years, I'd spent not speaking with my best friend. Yet he came to my side, when I truly needed him.

[Though the exact situation was rather more complicated.]

I hope I don't have to wait seventeen years.
