Action

[Anyone passing through Union's parks today will likely happen upon a somewhat odd sight.  Merrill is sitting on a bench, leaning forward with her hands on her knees and staring with great interest at a Sawsbuck.  The Sawsbuck doesn't seem to be doing anything terribly interesting, splitting its time roughly equally between staring back at Merrill, standing and looking regal as it listens for potential danger, and grazing lightly on the grass.  Despite this, however, its trainer's attention remains absolutely riveted on the Pokemon, as if she's expecting it to do something amazing any moment now.]

Oh, I can't wait...!

[Beatrice caws at the Sawsbuck angrily, before Swain quietly chides her]

I have not yet had the opportunity to visit, but I believe I have heard of it.

[bleeding_heart]

It's quite pleasant there. Very... grassy.

[Merrill has such a way with words.]

[youhavebeenswain]

Yes, I would suspect as such. What brings you here today?

[bleeding_heart]

I'm waiting for my Sawsbuck to change for the season.

[youhavebeenswain]

Change season?

[bleeding_heart]

Yes. I've heard Sawsbuck's horns and coats change with the seasons, so I'm waiting for it to happen to mine.

[She's just like a month early.]

[youhavebeenswain]

Does it typically change so soon? As I understand the season will not turn for a month, yet.

[bleeding_heart]

A month? Is it still that early?

[Merrill has apparently not mastered the use of calendars.]

[youhavebeenswain]

Afraid so.

[bleeding_heart]

I must have gotten a little too excited.

[youhavebeenswain]

No matter, I can see how it might happen.

[bleeding_heart]

Have you ever seen one change with the seasons?

[youhavebeenswain]

Until a moment ago I had not seen one at all, I'm afraid to say.

[bleeding_heart]

He's magnificent, isn't he? Look at his pretty coat.

[youhavebeenswain]

Yes he is, truly a fine Pokemon.

[bleeding_heart]

I suppose I'll have to keep a close eye on him this next month or so.
