[Well someone certainly looks smug. That someone is your not-so-friendly neighborhood Shit Bird, and there's something a little different about him today. He's always had random feathers mixed into his wild curled mop of hair, but today there appear to be more of them than usual. There is also some very minor scaling along his jaw and the sides of his neck that wasn't there before, and when he brings one hand up to smooth the side of his index finger against his lower lip his hands are more drastically bird-like than they were.]
So while all of you were off dreaming about nothing and everything, I've been actually accomplishing things in my life.
[He sets the Warp Band down, video feed still on, and grins crookedly before shifting. Except he doesn't shift into a Fletchling like most knew he was-- instead he's a Fletchinder. And a very, very proud-looking one, at that.]
[For anyone at the Hikawa Shrine, this is all taking place just out front, and there's now a smug Fletchling strutting around in front of the video feed of his Warp Band like a pleased chicken.]

[He pulls out the bag he walked in the door with.]
I have something for you.
[Action]
Oh?
[Action]
[A mask! It's a few different masks, even. Pokemon masks of a few ghost and dark type varieties.]
[Specifically he sets the Banette mask down in front of him.]
There's a festival coming up and my work is selling masks. I brought some home for you to choose from. You can have one.
[Action]
[This... sort of requires hands. He tilts his head and hops back a few feet, shifting and somehow miraculously having clothing on. We'll assume that if he shifts wearing something it stays when he shifts back. Magical Shifter hammerspace. Or something. He wastes no time in crouching forward to claim the Banette mask presented to him, turning it over in his hands. He isn't especially Ghost-type savvy, but...]
...Banette, yes?
[Action]
[ 8) ]
[Action]
[But he's also snatching the mask and setting it off-center on the crown of his head.]
[Action]
Here, these are for the others.
[She chirps, takes them in her beak and flies off again. Eiji got masks for all his pokemon, okay. Don't look at him. His own mask is probably still in the bag. It's a Pumpkaboo mask.]
[Action]
It's certainly dumb-looking enough for you. Can I ask you something? [He probably puts the Pumpkaboo mask on the other side of his head as the Banette one, looking entirely ridiculous.]
[Action]
I'd better not catch you saying that around Eclair, she'll eat all your food.
[Huff. He scowls.]
What?
[Action]
Oh, hush. Just because the mask will be dumb-looking on you doesn't mean she's dumb. That's a trait nearly entirely reserved for you.
[Swatting Eiji's hand if he's still going for the mask, he settles back forward.]
What level is Hina?
[Action]
[Though that's an abrupt pauses and a confused blink at his question. He tilts his head.]
Hina? Ah... its hard to say- she's pretty high, though.
[Action]
How can you not know what level she is? You're bonded with her, you're supposed to know.
[Action]
[It seems a little odd that Ankh is so concerned over this.]
[Action]
How much do you know about her? Her type, her attacks. Her, say, evolutions. [He makes a rather pointed once-over of himself.]
[Action]
I know everything she deems necessary to share with me.
[He tips his head- and not in the confused way. More in the "I see you doing something and I don't like it."]
What's this about?
[Action]
Fletchlings are supposed to evolve into Fletchinders at level seventeen. She's stronger than I am. I evolved before her. Something's wrong.
[That was. Surprisingly to the point.]
[Action]
[He hadn't really thought about it, but it really did seem like Hina should have evolved by now. She was stronger than Ankh and yet-]
I. She's never mentioned to me anything about not wanting to evolve. I don't know why she hasn't.
[Action]
[Action]
Something about you being even more full of feathers now that you had more of them. Ah, she didn't seem particularly upset. I think she may have been happy for you, even.
[Action]
And you're an Enlightened, obviously, yes? [Gesturing to his horns and such.]
[Action]
[He's got such a confused look. Where are you going with this?]
[Action]
[Action]
[He's not sure if he should be offended or not. Then he sort of pauses long enough to note how Ankh's tone isn't that shit-eating sneer he's so used to.]
...My powers are unpredictable and range from being useless or dangerous at the drop of a hat.
[Which is the reason you've never seen him even USE his type-based abilities.]
[Action]
So you can't control them.
[Action]
Not very well.
