104th moon [4th walls suck at keeping bats out]

[paladinlost]

[Ahhh, the last weekend of November. As nearly always, every city is invaded by dozens of confused new arrivals, strange Legendaries party like it's 1999, innocent trainers and breeders wake up on the beach or in the middle of the Ice Cave, not-so innocent Rockets do the same, Cecil's house and yard are overtaken by thousands upon thousands of shiny and non-shiny Zubats...

...Wait, what?]

If anyone could help me chase these away before this world returns to normal, it'd be much appreciated!

You can help keep him alive long enough to gain that confidence. He'll surely appreciate that.

[dragoon_pride]

Which may be easier said than done, but... a worthy challenge for certain.

[paladinlost]

It'll be pleasant, I promise. He's already grown to like and look up you, after all.

[dragoon_pride]

I wouldn't recommend for anyone to follow my example...

[paladinlost]

He can look up to you without following your example to the letter, you know.

[dragoon_pride]

Or I suppose learn what not to do by my example...

[paladinlost]

He has good judgement. He'll have no issue choosing what to learn from your actions as needed.

[dragoon_pride]

That's truly a relief.

[paladinlost]

He also has a talent for seeing the best in people, and bringing it out in turn.

[dragoon_pride]

It sounds as if he's very wise for his age. I suppose that would only make sense, given his parentage...

[paladinlost]

He gets most of it from Rosa, I say. It's much the same for his magic, too.

[dragoon_pride]

I'm so glad she's had such an influence on him... I'm sure you both have.

[paladinlost]

We've put much work into arranging our schedules to spend plenty of time with him. It paid off.

[dragoon_pride]

How fortunate for his sake. Your examples have done him well.

[paladinlost]

We have a duty to him, as his parents. We could hardly choose to lead him astray.

[dragoon_pride]

Naturally. But even so, out of duty or not, you've done well for him.

[paladinlost]

Why, thank you. Did you expect otherwise?

[dragoon_pride]

Hardly, knowing both you and Rosa.

[paladinlost]

Besides, even if we'd tried to ruin his life in a moment of madness, Cid would have stopped us.

[dragoon_pride]

I could just imagine the sort of reaction he would have had if so. There'd be no stopping him.

[paladinlost]

Hell hath no fury like an engineer concerned, and so on.

[dragoon_pride]

Undoubtedly so. They surely invented that expression for Cid alone, really.

[paladinlost]

...Yet I'd be happy to witness his fury, if it meant seeing him again after so long.

[dragoon_pride]

I keep forgetting how long you’ve truly been here for… I only hope you get to return one day, or perhaps that he and more of the others end up here as I did.

[paladinlost]

Certain people are luckier than others, for such matters. we've had groups of dozens arrive from the same world within weeks of each other, before.
