[Cecil's bedroom is currently extremely chaotic. Of course, any bedroom would be considered chaotic, if its contents were being packed up in a hurry by five Pokémon. Why isn't Cecil taking care of it himself, you ask? Because he's busy wrapping a Dratini egg in enough scarves to keep it warm in a blizzard.]

Everyone, I'm returning to Cherrygrove to meet up with Edward. If anyone has any deliveries to make in Violet or Cherrygrove, I can take care of them. I will also welcome any travelling partner.

[He almost turns off the Pokégear, but pauses. When he speaks, his voice sounds uncertain, hesitant.]

...Light. Bartz. Zidane. Squall. Do you think... Do you remember... [He shakes his head.] Nevermind. It's not important.

[He finally cuts off the feed.]

No, wait, keep them with you. I'd like to have them back once I thaw out.

[Rosie takes a moment to roll her eyes in the background. Honestly, trainers.]

...You'll be fine, Cecil.

[He's just snickering a little bit.]

I should be. [A beat.] Unless we end up with a thunderstorm and a tornado. Which would not surprise that much, considering Johto's weather.

...So negative, all of a sudden.

Merely wary. Didn't you realize it? Nothing happened this month.

[No, he's been in Daggerland.]

...I guess not. I didn't really notice, actually.

No missing days, no strange music, no mysterious deliveries... January was too normal for Johto.

...Now you've got me wary.

[paladinlost]

I apologize, then. We can always think of it as a sign that the world is becoming more stable.

Let's hope so.

It will have been a small respite, if nothing else.
