Ladies, gentlemen, I wish you all a happy new year.
[Cecil's tone is the same he's used for dozens of formal addresses back in Baron. Coupled with such a short greeting, it sounds... odd.]
Every new year should come with a resolution. Ideally one that can be achieved with hard work but without unnecessary privation.
[Which is why there's currently a cup of coffee in his hands. Not getting rid of that anytime soon.]
I've found one that suits me, but I'll need everyone's help to prepare. Can you think of any Pokémon species that you've not seen any of us train, at least at the moment? The type and the temperament matter little; the only criterion of importance is the lack of popularity. Any interesting lead would be greatly appreciated.
[He moves to turn the Gear off, stops himself, speaks once more.]
...Also, I've found myself in possession of far too much chocolate liqueur for me to consume. Would anyone be so kind as to take some of it off my hands?

[Not that the scarcity principle can explain it anymore. Cecil taps his fingers against his cup thoughtfully.]
I apologize for ruining the surprise, then. I've no doubt he'd be very happy to know that she's in such good hands. How is her training progressing?

[She looks down at the bundle of fluff.]
I... confess, I haven't really trained her at all. She's... kinda shy. So mostly she's just been around the house.
Makes a damn good nightlight, though.

[His request is answered with a soft Clefafa and the sound of footsteps moving away.]
A surprising duty, but one she surely fulfills handily. I've found that they are also an excellent source of warmth when reading a book on a rainy day.

Like a hot water-bottle. ... 'Cept softer.
[It helped that Carrie liked to be in laps.]
[Video]
[Being wrapped in nice warm wings is even more charming, but he'll let Heather discover that herself.]

Hey, was yours real quiet? Like... I can't tell if she's just got a really shy personality of if all of 'em are like that.

I don't think I've seen Carrie 'talk' with anyone.
Maybe she's just a real introvert. ... Or a good listener.
