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!))

Let's hope she doesn't pick up the sins of her "father," then.

[ hrrrrrgh the best way to deal with this is probably just to... ] Fine. Not right this moment, though! If I'm going to do you such a favor, Sakazaki, it'll be at my leisure.

I would never impose time restraints upon you!

[He sounds a little pleased.]

[ he hasn't bothered to give yuuya any specifics. sakazaki is hardly deserving of them in the first place.

sakuya had simply woken up one day and decided to get it over with, anyway. planning isn't really something he spends a lot of time doing; things just sort of... work out for you, when you're rich, so why bother?

he marches down the halls of the castle, justine floating along shyly behind him. the frillish is apparently embarrassed for the both of them as sakuya barrels through the corridors, fairly certain that sooner or later yuuya will show his big dumb stupid bird face.

it helps that he's shouting. ] Sakazaki! [ apparently, this is how all of their beak to beak interactions need to start. ]

[Sakuya are you really storming around here just yelling and hoping that he will show up..................

Okay well we'll say that Sakuya got in a lot of shouting before finally, from about halfway down the opposite side of the hall, Yuuya pokes his head out from behind a cracked door.]

Sakuya! What's all this noise you're making? You sound very energetic, raising your voice like this!

[And not in distress, which he might have been worried about.]

There you are. [ he is. less than pleased. at the very least, he doesn't have to look up to yuuya anymore-- it's strange to see him as such a small bird, but it's still kind of nice to tower over him.

menacingly!! (but not really because it's sakuya) ] If you can hear what I'm saying, you don't need to ask what it is! You're the one who wanted me to come by, and I did. [ cross arms. ] Introduce us.

Ah! Yes, of course. Buddy, you should come meet your uncle!

Well, he would rather not be called that. You should meet Sakuya.

[He ushers Buddy into the hallway, her stubby little plant legs going at full tilt.]

[ sakuya stares down at the budew, a sour expression on his face. he keeps his arms folded, not even bothering to lean down and pretend to be marginally pleasant. he has already done plenty by showing up, okay.

justine has considerably less reluctance about this whole meeting thing, and extends a frilly tentacle in buddy's direction! FRIENDS. ]

There. We've met. [ sakuya glares at yuuya, somewhere between a scowl and a pout. ] I hope you keep a tight leash on that thing, Sakazaki. You won't be able to evade responsibility if she causes trouble, you know.

[Friends!! Wow this is just sickeningly precious. Budews are tiny! So Buddy is cautious before she bumps the tentacle with one of her, well, buds.]

Oh, Sakuya, if my daughter grows up to be a renegade, I suppose I have only myself to blame!

Who is your friend? Do I have a niece as well?

[COUSINS!!]

[ and then the pokemon played together and were incredibly cute the end. ]

She isn't your niece. Her name is Justine. You'll treat her with the respect a Le Bel deserves, understand? [ not that he cares about her or anything. ]

Which is to say-- don't address her at all, Sakazaki. [ stares. ]

[He doesn't even flinch.]

Haha, Sakuya... [If Yuuya was afflicted with the same curse that made his brother human, he'd have put his hands up in surrender.} No harm, no foul, yeah? Message received.

Justine's a very lovely name. Very French! [haha.] It suits her.
