[When the feed turns on, Dray smiling like he just won the pokemon lottery. His tail moves lazily behind him and his ears are up.]

Hello everyone! I just got the most majestic pokemon! He’s fierce and loyal, with scales that seem made of steel and a powerful jaw. I can’t decide what to name him, though. I’m torn between Leviathan, Bonecrusher or Shadowbringer. What do you all think? This is him…

[He turns the camera towards the pond next to his garden to show his magnificent pokemon…

….It’s a Magikarp.

A Magikarp that’s splashing around desperately as if he's having a seizure, trying to get away from a Pidgeotto trying to grab him. Dray frowns and throws an apple at the bird, making it fly away. It’s clearly not the first time this had happened if his precision hitting the flying pokemon is any indication.]

Anyway, the name...

[There’s a rather distressed whine coming from off camera and Colette can be heard speaking in a soothing tone.]

Molly, what’s the matter? Come here. Hey, Dray? [Her voice is louder now.] Did you lick my Swirlix again? I told you it really upsets her!

[Dray's eyes shift and his ears drop, he look more than a little guilty.] Er.....Noooo?

Those all sound like very... Interesting names for a fish.

[Rapunzel really didn't know what to make of them really. They weren't something she would have come up with anyway.]

[mother_of_monsters]

He's a fish with big dreams.

[Sorry Rapunzel, sometimes Dray makes little sense like that.]

[ivegotadream]

A dream, huh? What dream exactly?

[mother_of_monsters]

Uh...not sure yet. But probably to jump really, really high!

[ivegotadream]

That's still an amazing dream and I hope he reaches for the stars~

[mother_of_monsters]

[Usually, when people says things like that they would be mocking Dray but with Rapunzel he's sure the girl is being sincere. His smile could power a small city.]

Thank you, Rapunzel!

[Dray's expression soften, turning slightly sad, and he looks briefly back at the Magikarp. The pokemon is calmer and swimming around the pond now.]

I know he is not the strongest pokemon and he looks funny...but when I went to change the ticket I saw everyone choosing pokemon that were cute or who would turn into amazing creature once they evolve. I don't even know what a Magikarp turns into, I don't really care. I thought that weak creatures deserve some affection too and he looks cute to me.

[ivegotadream]

I think that is a very noble reason for picking someone. I mean I picked mine because she likes to singing and it meant I had a singing buddy for when I clean, but you have faith in your new friend, that maybe he looks weak but in reality, there is something more to him.

[She paused before smiling slightly.]

Plus he is cute in his own way anyway.

[mother_of_monsters]

It's nice to see someone else understands. I would love to hear you two singing.

[Dray's ears flick twice.]

He is. And his scales are very shiny.

[ivegotadream]

Hey, all people deserve to live their dream... whatever his dream might be.

[She nodded slightly, she was clearly interested.]

I can't really tell over the device sadly, but I will 100% believe that they are.

[mother_of_monsters]

Yes, I agree. Sometimes it's hard to know what dream you want to follow, though. All I want is to leave peacefully, it's not much of a dream.

[But is what would make him happy, so he thinks it might count.]

You're free to come over any time you want, my house is always open to you.

[ivegotadream]

I think that's an amazing dream to have. No matter how big or small the dream it's still an important dream to the person.

[She nodded slightly, she was going to remember that.]

I will make sure to at least come over once a week.

[mother_of_monsters]

[Dray's tail moved behind him and he looks relieved she doesn't think it's stupid.]

Thanks. Have you found your dream too?

Wonderful, I look forward to it.

[ivegotadream]

Well, I'm not sure if I have yet. I mean I made my last dream come true for the most part. I mean they weren't the same, but it still counted, right?

[She counted it anyway.]

But if I had to pick a dream... Maybe making more friends, getting out and exploring the world. More than I did back home... Which admittedly wasn't all that much.

[mother_of_monsters]

Yes, of course it counts. What it matters is to be happy and satisfied in the end.

those are good objective, specially the exploring.

[ivegotadream]

Which I have been trying to do. it's why my work is what it is. I work three days a week in a job then work on customs if I get them.So that always gives me plenty of time to run around and explore this interesting place.

Though in my time here still have yet to explore everything. Do you have places you go to that I might not?

[mother_of_monsters]

I don't have a job that takes all my day either. Perhaps we could go exploring together one day.

I like to explore the Fayren forest, since I live here.

[ivegotadream]

I would like that.

But as for Fayren... You live in the forest? What is that like?

[mother_of_monsters]

We have plans for the future then.

It's nice. I built my house by the river, let me show it to you...[He turns the camera to show her his glass and wood house.] There's all sort of creatures in the forest. Fairies, dragons, normal animals like deer or rabbits...it reminds me of home.

[ivegotadream]

Oh wow, that's beautiful.

But I am glad you found a place a lot like home. It must be nice.

[mother_of_monsters]

Thanks. My tribe used to built things like this for elves and other tribes. Mine is nothing special.

Is is...I miss home. This makes it better.

[ivegotadream]

What... What was your home like?

[mother_of_monsters]

It was a huge valley, surrounded by snowy mountains. Very colourful, mostly green with also with a lot of lowers of different kinds. Some of the creatures in Fayren look like the ones form home.

[ivegotadream]

So Fayren for you really is the closest thing you can get to home.

Though I must admit that it sounds like a beautiful place.

[mother_of_monsters]

Yes. I'm thinking about opening a Subarchway since Winter gave me the idea. But I'm nos sure...I don't have a lot of nice memories to give in exchange.

[ivegotadream]

I honestly don't really know much about the subarchways... Or really any place I would want to be that I actually know.

But...they make you give up nice memories?
