[Action]

[Like many others, he heard the announcement, but did not process it as clearly as others - just that this isn't good news for the humans, and muses they might be looking for momentary cheer before getting down to work. He went to a well-populated square in the entertainment district where many of the humans gathered and drops a cup on the ground, gathering their attention before he breaks out into song - most of them classics and old standards that everyone knows. When he finishes one melody, someone may shout out for another and he obliges.

After a half hour of singing, he takes a break, collecting the cup - jingling it to see how much the humans gave him before heading to a nearby restaurant to grab a quick bite, musing over the recommendation of going into the Verdant Forest]

So the Forest - I wonder if they'll find what they need there.

[He murmurs out loud as he pulls his fluffy muffler around his lower jaw]

Are you sure? You did sing for an awfully long time...

[Lucas seems embarrassed by this exchange, though he'll continue to hold out his hand.]

...Would you take it if I asked you a question? Sort of.. 'penny for your thoughts'?

...

[Lucas will drop his voice to almost a whisper at this point.]

Um. This might be strange, but... when I was listening to you sing....

It felt like... the way I do when I listen to a Pokemon... There was something... more.


[A pause, before Lucas smiles shyly and speaks a little louder.]


So... I wanted to ask if you were Psychic, too.

[Right direction, wrong conclusion.]

O-Oh...

[Lucas seems disappointed for a moment - and embarrassed. But he rejoins quickly enough with a bright smile.]

That's alright. Ah - thank you for answering something like that...

I know there must be more psychics in the city, but... it's strange to just ask for something like that, right? I just want to know... how to really listen to the heart of a Pokemon.

Mm. Their thoughts and emotions... the things that they want... They're not really that different from humans, but...

[There is a brief, pained smile.]

I guess it's a little naive, too.

Oh - I'm Lucas. It's nice to meet you, mister.

[He takes note of this tic, though he chalks it up to being so cold outside.]

I should probably get going to the Medical Center now - sorry to bother you like this.
