[Action]

[Armin decided that the best place to watch his eggs hatch is in the sector of the Habitats where he's been sleeping since the quakes -- because someone is independent to a fault and hasn't let on that his home was damaged. But it's better this way, because there's enough room for Meredith-the-Ralts and Murgatroyd-the-Cherubi to cluster around the two eggs, with Gertrude-the-Steelix (who does NOT belong in this part of the Habitats, wow) looming protectively over the little group.

The black-and-yellow striped egg had cracked first, and now it slowly splits open, revealing what appears to be a tiny ball of fluff. Armin draws in his breath, gently tugging Meredith away from poking at the new baby --]

Mareep! You're a Mareep! [This is whispered in the most reverent of tones, then the Warp Band is hastily switched on.]

[Voice]

It's a Mareep!! [Warp Band is promptly turned off, because what is context?]

I-I don't think so, but...but I can't remember that, Sora!

[Honestly, Sora, come on, he's in a delicate state right now.]

Uh- that was a rhetorical question, Armin.

You feeling okay?

Oh! Oh, right.

That. Fine. Tired. Fine.

[Weary sigh.] I was worried. I-I read you aren't supposed to help them hatch, but...it was taking so long...

Huh?

You didn't break it out of its egg for it, did you?

N-No, of course not!

...that would be bad, right? [Little baby Mareep gurgles in the background and sounds absolutely fine, tbh.]

Yeah, but you didn't so that's okay!

[Uh yeah, he's very much hearing how okay that Mareep sounds.]

I'm positive your Pokemon is fine, Armin. You should try to relax a little and enjoy the moment!

Oh. Oh, okay, good. I won't do that for the other one either, then.

[The teensy Mareep is making happy gurgle sounds now, which are answered by Gertrude's gravelly rumblings and if there's anything cuter than a Steelix mothering a baby Mareep idk what it is.]

He's so little...I can't believe he broke out of that shell all on his own! Good job, little guy...is your egg close to hatching too, do you think?

[Wow that does all sound really cute. You people might give others diabetes with that cute stop it]

Heh heh, of course he did! Just 'cause he's little doesn't mean he's not tough!

And...I dunno! It wasn't when I saw it a few days ago, and my brother hasn't mentioned anything about 'em hatching.

[.....Then again knowing Roxas he could've just neglected to mention it to him]

He has little horns, so that helped.

Oh, that's right. I met him, you know. Y-Your brother, not...not the egg.

Mareeps have horns? Cool!

[THE MORE YOU KNOW; except whoat whoat what? Sora sounds genuinely surprised]

Huh? You did?

Sort of. They're on either side of their head.

[Armin pauses a moment, hesitant now.] Is...that all right?

Huh?

Y-yeah! Of course it is! Don't worry about that!

I'm just surprised, that's all. He's not exactly....social?

Oh!

[Armin frowns over this for a minute, considering. Then:] I found him very pleasant.

Hahaha...that's not exactly what I meant, but I'm glad! He could use more friends!

[Or...any...friends.]

Where'd you meet?

Yes, he seemed...shy. [And this is coming from Armin, so...]

Oh! In the street, by some rubble. [:D]

...Yeah, something like that.

[CLOSE ENOUGH.]

He was by the rubble? [And much more cheerful than anyone sane would sound] Hey! That's great!

...is it? [Armin sounds absolutely baffled by this because wtf Sora.]

Yeah! It's-

[Oh. Right. Armin has no idea what's going on]

Ha...it's...kinda a long story?

Oh!

Oh, w-well, that's...that's all right, it's your business. He was very pleasant to talk to, all the same.

Sorry, it's not that...

[And now he feels bad. It's not that he wants to hide anything from his friend (well about that anyway), it's just...hard to explain. Especially with the idea of what people might think of and treat Roxas.]

[But with what Eren told Sora about Armin's life...well, maybe he might understand better.]

It's just- for awhile now he hasn't really gone anywhere or talked much with people.

So if he went to see the rubble and talked to you- that's a really good sign!

-- oh. [He does understand -- maybe not completely, since he assumes controlling family members is the main cause -- but he still understands. And smiles a little to himself, voice soothing and upbeat.]

Then that's good! He was very nice to talk to and his Pokemon friends were as well. He was pleased to hear I knew you too. [Also Armin miiiight have mentioned Sora's aspirations to become a Ranger, oops.]

[oh Armin no. Even if his parents were still alive, they were the sort to ditch their kids on an island when they were four years old, supervised solely by a five year old. VERY LITTLE CONTROL GOING ON THERE]

[~~wow good job Armin~~ But he sounds happy. Roxas going out and talking to people? That's great! He's in such of a good mood he'll tease some with a laugh at Armin's last part]

I'd hope he'd be pleased! I'd hate to think he finds me embarrassing to know.

[Though let's face it...he can be pretty embarrassing to know]

Edited 2014-02-20 21:10 (UTC)

[The point is that all these kids have horrible parents.]

Why would he think that? You're lovely. [He says this without a trace of embarrassment.]

[Well they did, but now their parents are DEAAAAAAAAAAADDD]

[And wow Armin you are so sincere and sweet how are you not the disney character here. But he'll smile and laugh at that, not that Armin can see]

Thanks Armin. I think you're lovely too!

But I was just joking, really.

[A million tiny shounen Batman's. Tragically beautiful.

Also wow, these dorks, being sincere sweet adorable dorks.]

Oh. Th-thank you. Ah...I can't always tell, I guess, if someone's joking.
