[PRIVATE; TO BANZU]

Hey, Mr. Banzu? I got the egg you wanted. Did you want to meet outside the Breeding Center to get it?

[OPEN; ACTION]

[Outside the Breeding Center, Guertena seems none the worse for wear for his brief paternity leave, back to painting thankfully water-soluable murals all over the place. Hiroshi sits, holding the egg in his lap and marveling over it. Strange how there's still no real indication of how or why Pokemon get eggs...[

Careful, Guertena. You know how the guards get if you're too ostentatious about that.

[Guertena snorts. He got 99 problems and guards ain't one. He does paint one on the wall however.]

Comments

[outtahere]

[Banzu's Klink turns to Hiroshi's and gives a mid-air nod. Its Quiet nature is showing itself.]

Yeah, it is. Thanks.

[Instead of taking the egg right away though, he digs in his pocket for a moment and pulls out a few bills, offering them to Hiroshi. Four tens and two fives.]

Here. For the trouble.

[all_onis_are_true]

Ah, thank you.

[He wondered, briefly, if it was okay to be selling eggs. But he's not so squeaky clean morally that he can't accept the practicality of a little quick cash on hand.]

Take good care of it. If Guertena is any indication, they can be rather mischievous.

[And he passes the egg over. Guertena actually looks proud of the accusation.]

[outtahere]

[It's for Hiroshi's time and being deprived of Guertena's assistance for a bit and all that. Definitely not the egg. Banzu's sticking to that. He's not squeaky clean morally either.]

I will.

[He carefully takes the egg while side-eying Guertena slightly.]

Hope I can get it not to be if it is.
