Outside the Pokécenter

Fortis: Yay! Okay, let's go say hi!

-she and Noelle walk inside-

Inside the Pokécenter

-and Fortis immediately glomps Salamence-

Fortis: Hi, miss cotton bird!

Airy: <Hai, miss cotton bird~>

Noelle: Oh, hello! Is this a party for Pokémon?

Fortree Pokecenter

-Blip-

Helios: <I hope we didn't get here too late.>

Ditto: <Nah, we're here just in time son.>

Roc: -Appears to have fallen asleep-

Fortree Pokecenter

Salamence: (to Copahue) <Well, if you're sure.>

-she holds up Shahinne so everyone around can see her better-

Fortree Pokécenter

-to Noelle-

"A pleasure. Come in and join the party, there's bird seeds for everyone, I hope."

-Shahinne struggles a bit as Salamence lifts her up, gets comfortable right after-

Shahinne: <I'm pretty!> -- puffs chest.

Harriet and Copahue: -would clap, but they're birds, chirp instead-

"Happy birthday, Shahinne." -- claps.

Copahue: <Right. See? You're getting bigger and cuter already.>

-Shahinne nods then looks at Fortis and Salamence and everybody-

-Of course, then she notices Roc in the group with some company-

Shahinne: <Dad is here! :3> -- notices a certain Ditto -- <...Who's the Ditto? It's pretty.>

Harriet♀: <Uhm, thanks for being able to come, everyone.> -- ruffles feathers. -- <We had to delay the party a couple of days because of... uh...>

Copahue: <Reasons.> -- shrugs, turns to Shahinne -- <You have to greet everybody, little bird.>

-Shahinne, obediently, hops off Salamence's grasp and goes to stand before Aeropolis, chirping-

-The Nurse from the Pokécenter meanwhile comes up-

Nurse -eyes the party: "Excuse me, is the Altaria yours?"

"No, why?"

Nurse: "No reason..." -walks away, to notice Ichtacya also wandering in.

"...Ichtacya? What, Algira is not here yet?"

Ichtacya: <She's delayed. But she's surely nearby.> -- waves her leaf.

-Harriet and Copahue meanwhile make some room for Roc's party to get comfortable, and Ichtacya goes to another room to fetch more bags of seeds-

Fortree Pokécenter

Fortis: Yes you are pretty! -pats Shahinne-

Aeropolis: <Hi. You still haven't evolved yet?>

Fortree Pokécenter

Ichtacya -to Helios: <Uhm... she went outside to get some food and other things. She said she was going to get back soon.>

Harrier♀: <Ahem...> -- ruffles feather nervously and tries to avoid looking at Roc and Ditto: <She never asked and we weren't sure how to explain...>

-Shahinne meanwhile lets herself be loved, greets Zanna and looks pleased at the various items of the nommable kind left to her-

Shahinne: <Tell Frightful I said hi! I'm having fun! Can she come for my next birthday? :3>

-turns again to Aeropolis-

Shahinne: <...Evolve? Why?> -- tilts head.

-Silent is there organizing the food for all the birds, more or less offhandedly greets the Dragonite, prompting Copahue to intervene-

Copahue♂: <Uhm... S-Silent? I think this Dragonite is looking for you.>

"...Oh? I thought it was here for Shahinne." -- turns to the Dragonite -- "Hello? And who might you be? I caught up you are with Ren's team?"

-Shahinne sticks with Aeropolis for conversation but starts gathering together the nutpeas to save them for later; Harriet reminds her she has to greet the other peoplemons-

Fortree Pokécenter

Harriet: <Oh, hello! A really long time no see...>

-Copahue nods, waves a wing-

-A certain nurse approaches again,  stares long at Salamence and then at the newcomer Dragonite, who is obviously not a bird-

Nurse: "Excuse me, is that your mon?"

"No, she is with a colleague. Why?"

Nurse: "...No reason." -- walks away huffing.

"...Wow that was weird. Anyway," -- back to Zanna -- "I'm Silent, then, a pleasure to meet, Zanna. And... oh, I see Ren sent quite some things..."

-Silent takes the two boxes, focuses his attention on the smaller, Nido-blues one for a moment-

"I'll have to remember to thank him, he's very dedicated. Why don't you come sit here, Zanna? You look like after quite a tiring flight."

-Shahinne, meanwhile, waves a greeting at Zanna, then at Helios and Ditto, then returns her attention to Aeropolis and Salamence-

Zanna: <Thank you Silent.>

-Zanna looks around for a place to sit down and rest for a moment - and maybe get a snack and/or have a chat-

-As it's handled, the smaller box lets out a dull thud and a metallic ping.-

-As it's handed, the larger box lets out no real sound but an indistinct ruffling.-

-Which do you open first?-

-Zanna has moved to getting herself a piece of cake and a cup of water.-

-The smaller box contains a nido-blue colored leather and silver metal bound book. On the font cover there is a spindle wheel-handle lock that secures the contents of the book. Once opened, Silent will see that the book is actually been hollowed and has places he can slide a tablet, writing pads, and even three poke balls - the latter's mechanisms can even be activated via cleverly hidden button on the cover!-

-Content with her snack, Zanna moves to sit somewhere to nom her snack while watching the rest of the guests entertain themselves. She grins appreciatively after a bite of the cake.-

Fortree Pokécenter

-Shahinne hops around-

Shahinne: <When am I going to be big and beautiful? Daaaaad? DAAAAAAD?> -- and goes walk circles around Roc's group.

Harriet: <Uhm, Shahinne! Your greetings!> -- sweatdrops.

-to Noelle-

<I probably shouldn't  be too fond of Fairy types either...> -- laughs it off nervously.

-Silent meanwhile examines the curious book-like construct-

"A... book container with a metal-bound lock? Very stylish, with the ornaments... " -- fiddles with the lock for a moment before opening the book -- "This is very elaborate and... I wonder what was Ren thinking..." -- smiles.

-Examines the mechanisms for the Pokéballs, and thinks for a moment about how practical would be such a mechanism to handle-

"Well for one I have the feeling [Sol] will love this, Pokéteco too if he was not retired. And it should be easy to carry, perhaps on... hmmm..." --mumbles, continues to entertain himself with the container and the lock mechanism for a moment.

-Meanwhile, Ichtacya goes discuss something privately with Algira while the latter waits for Helios and his group. Harriet and Copahue, seeing Silent busy, start offering Zanna and Salamence and the others more noms-

Fortree  Pokécenter

-Harriet notices Salamence and her gift wrap, waves a wing to her-

Harriet: <Oh, Salamence! Let's give Shahinne your gift!>

Shahinne: <...Gifts!> ^.^

-The Starly quickly flies back to where Official Unofficial Aunt Salamence is and looks up to her with HOPEFUL eyes.-

Fortree Pokécenter

Shahinne: <O.O>

-Shahinne eyes the box for a while, hopping around and taking looks from various angles, before finally settling on standing besides it and pulling on the wrapper thread., and after a moment she manages to open it, revealing...-
