I have a question for all of you! What are good hunting and foraging spots within the Verdant Forest? I'm trying to save up a bit of money, and unfortunately that means I've had to cut a lot of things out of my diet.

Food in general, for the most part.

I asked my Eevees to make similar sacrifices but they weren't too keen on that so there you go. Anyway, I've been relying a lot more on food I can find myself, but I find I'm still a bit hungry more often than not and Pokemon food really doesn't taste very good at all. Any suggestions?

Well, I suppose I'm in no position to refuse. Be sure to bring the Eevee, I imagine he will enjoy the company of my Eevees.

Probably, but he's young and impressionable, and I do not want him picking up bad habits. Although it might not be a bad idea, Houndoom could use a break from babysitting duty.

[Noooo Eevee those are Rotom's arms, don't play with those. It shouldn't hurt cause you're a normal type, but it does. Rotom blinks in distress.]

And Rotom too, from the looks of it.

And no, you are not. We will be over shortly.

[And true to her word, not much later there is a knock on the door.]

[Robin answers with a small army of Eevees waiting behind him. Looks like they knew who was coming]

[Wow, who were all these pokemon that were suddenly interested in him? Was one of them wearing bows? Amazing! You guys look so cool! Eevee bounds past them and into Robin's apartment.]

H-hey, don't go in there before saying hello, it's impolite!

I'm really sorry, I've been trying to teach him manners...

No worries, they were eager to meet him and I imagine it's hard to resist such a thing. Come in!

This was what I was afraid of, that he would pick up bad habits. He's already too much to handle.

[A sigh and a quick smile as she walks in. She appears to be carrying something in a bag--something that smells delicious.]

I hope that you're hungry. I made enough to last for a few days. I imagine you need groceries as well?

Bad habits?

And no worries, I am quite hungry. My stores are low, but as said I am trying to be frugal, it's nothing you have to worry about.

Bad habits. Hopping up on the bed at night, rough housing, barking at odd hours.

Go ahead and sit down, then. We'll eat dinner and then assess the pantry situation.

[Robin does take a seat as instructed, but he is still arguing]

They were distraught! Surely they can't be held completely responsible.

Also they regularly sleep in my bed or with Quinglong.

[The pantry situation is... dire.]

Robin, you're far too soft.

[She pauses.]

Are you going to take your gloves off to eat? I'm surprised, I hadn't realized you wore them even at home.

[He pauses for a moment]

Well, I suppose now is as good a time as ever. I don't typically wear my gloves at home, but my evolution has bestowed upon me a rather... interesting condition. Here, it's best shown.

[He removes his glove and reveals black veins running across his hand and into his arm, which is concealed by his sleeve]

[That... wasn't what she was expecting. A burn maybe. But that? She keeps her expression as neutral as possible.]

Does it hurt? Is it just on your hand, or..?

No, it's something else. Put simply, it's a manifestation of my abilities. It currently extends from my heart and across my right arm.

[She pauses.]

Can I see it?

[He pauses for a moment]

Sure.

[He removes his jacket and pulls off his shirt, revealing dark veins running up his right arm and stretching to his heart. If she watches closely, Cordelia might notice traces of red flowing quickly through them.]

[Cordelia definitely notices, but again keeps her expression somewhat neutral. She chooses her words very carefully, smiling gently.]

Evolving does strange things to the body. I don't think it is something you should feel you have to hide. It doesn't change you as a person. You are still you.

[And to break the tense moment, Eevee spots his lap and decides to plop down. Cordelia chuckles.]

See? Eevees still love you, and you have friends who I know would stand behind you no matter what. Myself included.

[Robin puts his shirt back on and smiles, petting the Eevee]

I appreciate it, truly.

[~~But why do you gotta put your shirt back on~~

Aw yiss pets. You even smell like an Eevee ARE YOU AN EEVEE? He flicks his tail excitedly, moving around Robin's lap to get the optimal amount of pets. Also known as all of them. He almost falls off a few times.]

I doubt that anyone would think any differently of you for it, but I understand why you might want to hide it. Just know that you don't need to hide anything from me--

[Nope. That's not what she]

Because I'm your superior officer.

[Safe]

Ah, we should eat.

[..?]

[Robin is a skilled Eevee petter, no worries about falling little guy]

Yes, let's eat.

[Whups he said the magic words his own Eevees are suddenly grouping around the table.]

[Yes good]

[It would seem that Cordelia came well prepared, although she hadn't anticipated Eevees. She gives them all a look.]

You have your own food.

[AKA all of Robin's food.]

And yet they still like to beg. I hate to deny them but as food's been scarce I've been forced to do so more often these days.

Robin, you're too soft. They can forage for themselves at a time like this. Although I really would love to know what has you in such dire straits.

Still, having the company for dinner will be nice. It gets a bit lonely at times.
