[Observe the interior of Garry's classroom as it's obvious he's twisting his wrist this way and that to get a good look at the Warp Band.] So this is what all the fuss is about...? [Yes, that was a defeated sigh. Good ol' Garry.]

I'm not sure going out is the best idea .. besides, we still have class. So don't think you're going to get out of doing homework! [Right? Right. He's not that scatterbrained.] But maybe a little venture out on the weekends would be okay. During the day. [No thanks for night time.]

I guess it's customary to ask for tips or something like that. [He's really only ever focused on things that had nothing to do with leaving Union so pokemon training has never been his forte. The cute little blue Floette on the edge of his desk sits patiently, looking on.] Instead of tips.. why don't you tell me your favorite thing about training? ...and exploring? [He asks like he's talking to one person instead of a network at whole. Because that's easier and opens communication more. And also might help him a little better. Maybe.]

Oh - will you carry me into detention, then? [How about this instead.]

I don't think I've ever had to resort to that method, either! [Ohohoh. Quite the troublemaker!]

Hmm... maybe I'll go if you make me a special exception?

Go? To detention?

Sure! If detention is a day out exploring and training.

But having you carry me around wouldn't be any fun, so you can do it up to the gate out.

Oh. [Oh. Hm. Hmmm. Well, having an escort would be nice. But on the other hand. It is outside.] Do you go out very often?

[She laughs at the change of discussions, but it's a small one.]

Yep. I've gone pretty far, too. And you haven't gone out at all. [Since he said as much in his entry.] Why not?

I've just found myself too busy to make the trip. [Any trip. Anywhere that is outside Union. What's so wrong about that?!

....did he convince her?]

It sounds like you've found the time now. [Shall we play convinced?] Are you feeling confident?

I was told I can't keep putting it off forever. [He would have liked to pretend that he could. Forever.] Confident? [Sorry, he was thinking to himself.] As confident as someone should be for going outside, I think. [Please pretend to be convinced for a little while longer.]

It's pretty dangerous out there, huh? So much we don't know...

....y-yeah.. [HELPFUL.] Maybe just one day this weekend. I can't disappear, after all. I'd be letting down my class. [He'll run out, put his hand through the grass, and come back in. That's fine, right?]

Do you really need to go out? I mean, if you don't want to...

[very helpful]

...do you think it's worth it?

I do! I think it's very worth it. But maybe you should ask yourself why you're worried about doing what other people do every day?

You don't need to go as far as others, and the forest around the Union is so well known by now. [...] And you don't need to do it alone.

I think... [Let him think as he thinks.] ..stagnation is a very dangerous thing. And if one has the prowess inside themselves to go outside and meet new horizons, they should. [It's very poetic. But he's not sure about it. This being enlightened stuff is kind of hard to deal with now and again.]

But not having to go alone is very helpful. [A very thankful smile.]

Then you should find your own prowess, and give it a go. Asking why other people like it can be fun for their answers, but there's a chance it won't help when you go out.

And like you said... stagnating can be dangerous. Going outside might be dangerous too, but you can learn how to face those dangers. If you give it a go.

I'm trying! [This is more cheerful than it is shouting, mostly because he's sure she get it by now. He's not mister macho tough guy about to go brave a thousand caves.] I think it's inevitable at this point. I have to at least go once. Right? [But after that all bets are off.]

That's right! And if you don't, I'll have to give you detention - and seeing that we both know what my idea of detention is...!

[No way out.]

I can't very well risk that, can I?

Nope. I'll even carry you, if you want.

Now, now! No need to go that far! Just walking will suffice.

Bore. [...] But how do you feel about going now? If you want to ask a few questions, you can go ahead and ask them. The things that worry you.

Right this second? [Clearly he had opinions that were not so good about right this moment.] ....I've heard it's pretty dangerous out there. [From himself, mostly.] How dangerous would you say it is? In your most honest opinion?

That can depend, really. [Hmm.] ...Do you have business soon? If you wanted, we could talk about this in person. Maybe not to a disembodied voice?

It could be today or tomorrow.
