Ah, the life of a single parent! I do not suppose there are many ladies out there who would find an unwed father particularly appealing. No, no, I'll have to hang up my hat on midnight fun soon enough. But these are the choices we make, are they not? [He's not sure he really chose to go on a Pokemon adventure, but why split hairs?]

I must say she was much easier to keep an eye on as a human - even visually impaired! Haha.

It seems I can't even educate my new little ward - not in book smarts, at the very least. Thankfully I was never one for rigorous study.

[For those more inclined to encounter Yuuya in person (or birdson), he is doing his very best to sunbathe luxuriously with his new Budew on the castle grounds.

Lucky the Pokemon is so small and also not really mobile - anything larger would be running circles around Yuuya. Nevertheless, if natures were easily transferable, this Budew would be Naughty. Every time it gets up to go exploring, Yuuya leaves his sunbath to track it down, herding it back with a buffet of his wings.

As he ruffles himself out for another attempt at leisure and glorious sunshine, Yuuya closes his eyes and calls to the open book:]

But it's nearly beach reading season! Whatever shall I do?

Until next time, mes amis. Safe reading.

Adieu!

((ooc: sorry to anyone who had to wait on tags from birdbrain for several days. we should be sorted now!))

[She timidly watches the bird and Pokemon from afar, the animal lover that she is.]

So cute...

[whathedoves]

[Yuuya cracks an eye open, smirking as a pigeon is capable of smirking.]

You must come closer, mon amie! I don't bite, and the light is much warmer over here. You will like it much better and I shall be able to hear your dulcet voice.

[A talking bird? Why, that's just madness!]

Huh...? ... Y-You mean me?

action

[whathedoves]

[Luckily he has already met one talking pony! He isn't too surprised about Fluttershy.]

Of course I am talking to you! I'm not being spied on by too many ladies, am I?

[3_butterflies]

Oh, I didn't mean to spy on you! I... I was just... um...

There's nothing wrong with being a single parent. [ Her mother was one for a long time. ]

dictated

[whathedoves]

[So was his, though only briefly.]

No, no, of course not. A joke about my newly acquired friend here, and nothing more.

Most teenage dads are not so fortunate as I! We're getting along quite well.

dictated

[amiable]

You're a father?!

dictated

[whathedoves]

To this Budew! It came along with me; I could not orphan it! I'm not a deadbeat.

I had named it Buddy, but then I thought, perhaps it might be a girl...

And I guess you'll never tell me, will you?

Deeeeew...

[amiable]

A Budew...

Is it a Pokemon?

[bedninja]

[Don't mind this kid, Yuuya - he's just appeared rather suddenly out of nowhere, legs crossed and sitting on the ground right beside you. Totally normal, right?]

You look nothing alike, though. Are you quite certain that you are related?

[whathedoves]

[Not normal, but not exactly something Yuuya hasn't experienced before. Nevertheless, he jumps.]

Yikes! I didn't think I'd ever meet anyone so light on their feet as Doctor Iwamine.

Haha...

[As he looks down at Budew] Not by blood. At least, I hope not, otherwise I am part ... Pokemon.

But should that matter?

[bedninja]

I can assure you that I am very light on my feet! I would be quite impressed if there were someone else with the same skill. [He doesn't even need to be on his feet if he doesn't really want to, that's how light he is. And not even in a bird way.]

I do not think it would matter a great deal if you were park Pokemon, no. Do you think that it would matter?

[Totally... missing what was actually meant by the question... gj Pharos gj.]

[whathedoves]

I shall have to introduce the two of you. [Hahahahahaha, no way in hell.]

I have never thought of being a Pokemon, but no, I suppose it would not make a difference for someone of so simple a heritage as mine! Yet even if we're not bound by blood, I should at least look after her.

[bedninja]

I would not be opposed to that in the least. [Dear god please no, I don't think Paradisa could handle that level of terrifying.]

...I am not entirely certain I understand. Is your heritage simple because you are a bird?

If you are not related by blood, though, that means you are not her parent. Why do you feel the need to look after her?

dictated

[doublethefun]

Read on a beach, perhaps. I have heard tell that there is a 'Seasons Room' within the castle.

dictated

[whathedoves]

Truly? You held out on me during our tour, Luna. Perhaps there are other secret places you wish to take me later, your - Your Highness, it should be? A little flying pony told me you are royalty.

[doublethefun]

[a laugh]

Thou hast spoken to Fluttershy, yes? [the only other flying pony here]

We are no longer in Equestria; titles do not carry much weight here.

[whathedoves]

That's her! How astoundingly prophetic a name. She's very cute. I should endeavor to meet more mammalians if they all take after all of you.

That's quite humble of you to say, Your Highness - Luna - but it would hurt my soul to not give you the respect you are due.

[doublethefun]

Many of our names are rather telling. [understatement.

There's a fond smile at the journal] She is the most adorable filly.

As thou wishest. A true gentlecolt - gentlebird? to the end, I see.

[dictated]

[songofthefoolish]

Have you ever been one for any rigorous activity whatsoever?

[ no. he hasn't. ]

Don't let your beast die, now. That would be unseemly, even for a wretch like you.

[dictated]

[whathedoves]

You know me too well, Sakuya. My approach is far too leisurely to go running into any one of those living books!

But don't say such things! You'll scare her unnecessarily. You should meet her! She'll like her uncle.

[dictated]

[songofthefoolish]

If I have no relation to you, how would I have any relation to your possessions!

[ there is a pause and a small 'ow,' for justine smacking him. geez, he didn't mean to imply all pokemon were possessions, just commoners'! ]

I hope you haven't been telling her I'm her uncle already. [ :| ]

[dictated]

[whathedoves]

I should not call her a possession! She's a member of the family.

And of course I have. How else shall I introduce you? Is it that you fear you are too young for the responsibilities of being an uncle? We have been old enough for nesting for years now, of course.

[dictated]

[songofthefoolish]

A member of your family perhaps, but not mine.

It has nothing to do with responsibility! If you've already been telling me I'm her uncle, then I wonder what other lies you've been feeding the poor wretch. [ >:( ] I demand you clarify the situation with her right away!
