[Tobias isn't usually the most excited and bouncy of people, but today he looks absolutely overjoyed. Why? Well... the reason is standing next to him, in the form of a bird as big as him. He has an arm around the bird's neck, grinning from ear to ear.]

Regal evolved! It took him a while, but he finally did it!

[He gives the bird a squeeze, and nuzzles his feathers. When he looks at the camera again, his cheeks are a little wet. ... He's not crying. Shush.]

Now all we need to do is to get him a Fly HM, and we can take to the skies. I'm really really proud of him. He worked really hard to do this.

[... He's gonna start crying again, so he just smiles a little shakily and turns off the recording.]

[... Oh. Yeah. He looks down for a moment.]

I think that's right. About family. And... if I'm guessing right you answered an anonymous post of mine a little while back, too.

Ah, so that was you. I was completely flying by the seat of my pants there!

[Botan that is about the last thing you should say to someone.]

I figured out my misgivings regarding family, by the way, thank you for trying to help.

[wing_attack]

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. And that expression is something I picked up from a friend.

Don't worry about it, it reminded me of my friends actually. If Yusuke were more clever, he probably would come up with something like that.

[How...nice.]

[wing_attack]

[Yeah okay he's laughing at that.]

Punch first, ask questions later, huh?

[styxiedust]

He invented that mindset, in my opinion. That doesn't mean he's a bad person, though, I'm sure you'd like him if you met him.

[Yusuke could use more friends anyway.]

[wing_attack]

It's okay. I know someone like that at home.

[styxiedust]

I think all of us do, even if some would hesitate to call them "friends." Funny how people like that manage to fall into your life, isn't it?

[video]

[wing_attack]

Yeah. You end up getting close to them, even when you don't mean to.

[Rachel please, etc.]
