[Voice]

Good news guys. I was out doing some training to get ready for the caverns tomorrow. I bonded with a Cascoon a few days ago, and she just evolved into a Dustox! Prickly's definitely moving up in the world!

[There's a whooshing sound rather close to the Warp Band]

[For those who are around when Ezreal makes this post, as he mentions Prickly she huffs and launches a poisoned spine at him, that he casually and habitually moves his head to the left to dodge]

For the record I don't really care if you're highborn or what.

And you're very obviously highborn.

[She winces.]

I did not realize it was that obvious. What am I doing wrong?

Acting like a noble, primarily.

How so? Give me an example.

You speak very proper, you act very proper, you wear expensive clothing, your hair probably cost money to get into the shape it's in, you actually smell nice, do I need to go on?

[She turns very, very red.]

I... but I thought...

These weren't all that expensive, I'll have you know...

I'll bet one piece still cost more than my entire outfit.

I...

[She looks him over again.]

I cannot confirm or deny this.

[Camille: snrk.]

So yes.

They did not seem too expensive to me!

[You know, around a half year of pay for him, at least. Definitely not that expensive.]

I'd probably have to spend half of what I make in a year to buy those.

[A pause.]

What do you make in a half year?

[Much smaller than expected amount].

O-oh. It was not quite that mu--

[Camille clears her throat. Are you forgetting about someone?

Lux looks over at the Dratini. Oh yeah. Her cape.]

...Hmm. You may have a point.

Yeah if you want to look like a commoner no fancy clothes. Most Pokemon don't wear anything at all unless the weather's really bad.

[What? WHAT? YOU WANNA SAY THAT TO CAMILLE'S FACE, DIRT FOR BRAINS?!]

But it is bad out.

In which case you get them a $20 poncho.

[Camille slinks in Ezreal's direction, stretching herself upward until she's eye to eye with him. She's staring daggers. You wanna go, Muk breath?]

Camille, stop it right this instant!

[The Dratini stands there, defiant. She could take this twiggy piece of--]

Camille!

[...And she tossed back her head--as if she had a full head of luscious hair, instead of being, well, bald and blue--then slinked off. He wasn't even worth her time. She did give him a rather cold look as she turned, though.]

I apologize, she can be a bit...

Hey, $20 is a lot to spend on a Pokemon poncho.

[Camille stops in mid slink and slooooooowly turns, rearing up again.]

Both of you, stop it!

[More directed at Ezreal this time.]

[He laughs]

I'm only half-joking though. Your appearance and mannerisms scream wealth, so no matter where you go you'll stick out like a sore thumb.

[And then Camille deems him not worth her time. She's going to go hang out with Prickly. She understands.]

What should I do? How can I become less obvious?

Part of it is look, part of it is act. We can do something about the look, but the act is a bit different. You're very high-class, the way you move, the way you look, the way you speak.

Honestly we should probably sneak you into a bar or something so you can just see how people are.

[Oh, was she sitting up straight again? She's going to attempt to slouch again!

It's not very effective.]

A bar? But we are both underage!

So?
