[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?

Basically, I think so.

No one gives anything for free, that's how life always had been.

[ivegotadream]

I wouldn't know that, though. I've never really had to give anything up.

[Well except freedom, but that wasn't necessarily willingly, more being scared into it until some time ago.]

[mother_of_monsters]

That's very lucky of you.

[Freedom is a pretty big thing, Rapunzel...]

[ivegotadream]

My mother would always be the one o go out. But I think she just gathered from the surrounding areas or at least travelled a day or two away, so not sure if that counts though.

[mother_of_monsters]

Yes, ti counts. She wasn't being very nice to you even if it looked like it. I'm sorry, Rapunzel.

[ivegotadream]

How come? I mean gathering from woods and such isn't mean losing anything in return?

[mother_of_monsters]

Oh no, not that. She never letting you leave the place is what was wrong.

[ivegotadream]

People have told me this before, so I am already aware of that.

[mother_of_monsters]

Oh, okay sorry for bringing it up.

You're happier here, I hope?

[ivegotadream]

It's fine. It's at least making certain that what people say is actually correct. I mean if it's more than one person, they all can't be lying. Logic.

[Really helps her.]

Oh, yes. I'm having so much fun being out and about. I mean... I haven't achieved what I wanted back home. Something I wanted to see, but maybe someday.

[mother_of_monsters]

Heh, yes checking the fact is always good.

I know exactly how it is. [Dray smiles widely, some of his fangs peek out.] It's just so good to be free. And don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to get back home one day and do all the things you wanted.

[ivegotadream]

I hope so. But until then I will do all the things I want to do here.

Just like I am sure you will be doing what you want.

[mother_of_monsters]

Good idea. Lets seize the moment.

[He laughs, giving a nod.] Yep! I need to go buy some food for the magikarp but do you want to meet later and we coudl go to one of Fai's cafes and have some sweets?

[ivegotadream]

Sure. Though I've never been there before.

[mother_of_monsters]

More reason to go then. I'm sure you'll love it. They have babies and bunnies to pet.

['Babies' being kittens.]

[ivegotadream]

Babies? Actual babies or baby animals?

[That is what she is picturing right now.]

[mother_of_monsters]

Babies! Wait, no. Babies for my people so...kittens?

[Close enough!]

Do you want to see real babies?

[ivegotadream]

Oh, so that is what it means.

[She knew babies could mean a lot of things, but she shakes her head slightly.]

No, it as just a question really.

[mother_of_monsters]

Yep. There's always adorable animals in Fai's cafes, you will love them.

Ah, ok. I'll see you later then. Take care, Rapunzel!
