[Tap tap tap, goes a hand against a wooden surface. A counter, probably, since all the video shows is the ceiling of Celadon's best bar.]

On the one hand, Rosa is not here to dine with me tonight and I've won no badge today. On the other hand, I'm not still suffering from painful burns all over my limbs. All in all, I'd consider this third anniversary acceptable.

[The tapping is almost a song by now, one that could be familiar to him but to no one else.]

But I never was one to be content with a merely acceptable situation. Thus, let's improve it together. Reply to me on the network, and I'll offer you the most sincere compliment I can think of; come see me in person, and I'll pay all your drinks tonight. That sounds fair enough to me.

[It also sounds better than drinking the night away by himself, which is the important part.]

[She knows sad drinking when she sees it, and she's got no idea who this guy its but it looks like it blows for him. Plus, he's kid of really hot so ofc she's gonna respond either way.]

Man, if I still drank I'd totes take you up on there offer. I quit a few months ago though, so even free drinks are a no go.

[So what if she's only sixteen and even def looks it. Do Johto and Kanto even have a legal drinking age?]

So, like, does that mean you've been in this place for three years now?

Who's Rosa? Is she a friend of yours?

By third anniversary, one would assume you mean of your tenure in this place?

As for a compliment, there is no need. I am far to new to have even the basest acquaintanceship with anyone here.

Free drinks somewhere I'm not? You're killin' me here, Cecil.

Hey, welcome to the club, old timer.

[It's said with a snicker and a smirk. It's a strange mix of reassuring and daunting whenever he sees fellow oldbies around. How many are even left?]

Seems like we're almost an endangered species these days. I can't even remember how many people have stuck around since the old days. Maybe ten? But that might be a bit too generous.

[Rin doesn't want nor does he expect a compliment. He's mostly concerned about how Cecil seems ... forlorn.

But he hasn't really spoken to the guy long enough to just ask what's up. So he tries something else instead.]

Are there still badges out there for you to earn? [Oh, he should mention it, just in case.] ...Don't bother with the compliment thing.
