[The video clicks on, and there is... well. There's a Rufflet and an Ursaring in colorful party hats.]

[In an inn room. He finally sprung for one tonight, yeah. Tobias turns the camera around and grins, though it's a little bit of a crooked grin. His last birthday... didn't go so well. Or was that the birthday before? The last birthday he paid attention to the date on, at least. Anyway.]

What kind of stuff do you guys do for your birthday where you're from? I never really did much for mine, so I decided to get a room for the night. It's kind of nice here, though it's sort of expensive...

[... He's probably going to go back to sleeping outside tomorrow night. Oh well.]

... Maybe we'll go out to eat or somethi -

[Aaand the Ursaring tackles him, and Tobias is left flailing under a pile of brown fur.]

Rachel! You're too big now! Get off!

[The Ursaring just laughs and Tobias crawls out from under her, turning the video off as her party hat falls and bonks him on the head.]

... It's okay. It's not your fault.

[Rachel wraps an arm around him and he pats her, smiling a little sadly.]

I guess I've just been thinking about home a lot today.

[awesmazings]

A-

[Whatever Jimmy was saying dies a little on his tongue as he glances away. It's very brief, and Tobias might not catch it if he's not paying attention.]

Yeah! Yeah.....me too.

[video]

[wing_attack]

It's natural, right? We're a long way. I mean, I've traveled pretty far before, but... this is different.

[Is it though? Is this so different from being on another planet? Because he's done that before too.]

[video]

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy nods a little in agreement.]

Yeah, that's true...I've never been away from home like this before, so it's...pretty different.

[video]

[wing_attack]

Yeah. But it'll be okay. Like you said, Cerbee will be waiting for you at home.

[video]

[awesmazings]

Aha...yeah, you're right! 'Least I hope so....he can get into trouble if I'm not around to watch him.

[video]

[wing_attack]

I'm sure he'll be fine. Right?

[Regal has no idea what Tobias is talking about but he chirps anyway.]

[video]

[awesmazings]

He should be. I mean, Heloise and Beezy are probably taking care of him while I'm gone.

[...Yeah.]

[video]

[wing_attack]

There you go. He'll be fine.

[Rachel growls her approval. That's what loyal friends and Pokemon do!]

[video]

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy smiles, rubbing his neck before shaking his head quickly.]

Heh....yeah. But yeah, uh, anyways- I hope you have a good birthday, Tobias. You guys enjoy the hotel!

[video]

[wing_attack]

Thanks. Let me know if you need anything, okay?

[... Is this how you friends.]

[video]

[awesmazings]

[You're doing remarkably well, all things considered, so yes.]

Ah, sure thing! You too!
