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?

Action.

[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]

Action.

[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..?

Re: Action.

[master_tactician]

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.

Action.

[She pauses.]

Can I see it?

Re: Action.

[master_tactician]

[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.]

Action.

[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.

[master_tactician]

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

I appreciate it, truly.

[aerial_ace]

[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.

[..?]

[master_tactician]

[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.]

[aerial_ace]

[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.]

[master_tactician]

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.

[aerial_ace]

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.
