Fool: Claire is helping Samuel pick out a companion mon down below. Knowing our family, he'll probably pick something dangerous and high maintenance as his first.

Cyril pets the Panpour in his arms.

Cyril: I didn't~

Fool chuckles and smiles at her son

Fool: Yeah, but you take after me kiddo.

The Panpour chatters happily in reply.

Fool: Though to be honest, did we expect any different?

Fool starts getting pensive while Cyril looks around the office, trying to find something to climb.

Fool starts chuckling to herself

Fool: Hey, remember the conversation we had when we were naming the ball of energy over there?

Cyril, noticing Crochet and Doc, decided to run out and greet them.

Cyril: Crochet! Doc!

Cyril would hug them, but his arms are currently full of Panpour

Convenient Flashback Time

Tagg and Fool are currently in the middle of discussing names for their newborn son.

Fool: ...I was thinking Cyrillus.

Tagg: Cyrillus?

Fool: Yeah, Cyrillus. It has very majestic and somewhat classy ring to it.

Tagg: We're not naming our kid Cyrillus.

Fool: Why not? I think the name is charming~

Tagg: It sounds too much like Cyrus, and people will make fun of him for it.

Fool pouts and looks away for a moment, before looking back at her husband with a snarky grin

Fool: -In a jovial tone- Would you prefer Constantine then?

Fool makes sure to stress the "e" vowel at the end.

Tagg: ...Fuck no.

Fool glares at Tagg for a moment.

Fool: Tagg, please! A child is present!

Tagg: He won't remember any of this.

Fool "hmphs" at Tagg, clearly not amused by his response.

Tagg: How about we shorten it to Cyril?

Fool: Cyril is fine with me

Tagg: Unless you'd like to name him after me. :P As in my actual name, who the hell names their kid Tagg?

Fool and Tagg probably answered that question already in their heads. So a reply is not needed.

Fool: That means I'll name the next boy we have Saladdin, to complete the pair~

Fool chuckles.

Fool: Let's just stick with Cyril

Tagg: Cyril it is, then.

Back to the Present

Fool: That was an interesting exchange.

Cyril beams up Crochet and Doc

Cyril: I'm good! Sis is currently helping little bro choose his first Pokemon downstairs~ -Looks over to the Sewaddle behind them- How are they going?

-Phosphora does a little spin.-

Phosphora: I'm always ready to go!

-Selene gives an amused sigh.-

Selene: <Always.>

-The young girl snaps her fingers.-

Phosphora: Oh! I should let out Bolter and Reginleif to play!

-She reaches for her belt and grabs two Pokeballs before opening them up and releasing the contents. An Electrike and a silver Phanpy appear.-

Reginleif: *Yawn!* <Oh, is it time for dance class again? Well, if you need me, I'll be asleep over there.>

Bolter: <Oh wow people people people- Oh. Hi, Aria, Ellen, Missus Sarah, Missus Caroline, Fey. I already know all of your scents.>

Aria kneels down to pet Bolter as Meg peers out from around around Aria's waist

Meg: <What about me?!>

Aria: -to Caroline- Really? What?

Petalburg

Jacob: "Well Discord and his wife haven't burnt down my house yet, so that's nice. Even if I do have a small brood of Larvitar running around... They've been... busy, this past week. Lethe, Salcura, and Woe are doing a good job of taking care of the garden. Argentum is still hiding away in his little hide-y hole, working on secret projects. Phlegethon is still probably the best rapper I know, and is still undefeated in rap battles. Helian is still working on that sugarcane addiction issue, but he's recovering. Valea has been well, her and her husband usually keep to themselves. P-1 hasn't sent any Pawniard over, so I assume he's still busy with the Unova side of things. Pest is... well he's him. Ferris is off seeing her sister I think, and Regina is still fine, she's right here with me. She misses Seth and Sylva, but she she's them often enough to be fine. The others are in their own situations as well... so all in all we're holding together."

"Just one big messed up happy family..."

Caroline smiles at the girls. "We're gonna learn how to walk."

She grins. She says to Sarah, ~Here comes the whining. Remember when we had to do this?~

Phosphora: Wait, huh? Is this, like, one of those weird metaphors that Sifu Champloo uses?

Ellen: ...You're kidding, right? Please tell me this is a joke.

Caroline smiles. "I guarantee, it's harder than it sounds. But it's the first step to learning the more complicated dances."
