paradisa | ❥ 2 [dictated/action]

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...

[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?

[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?

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

[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?

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

Ah, yes, of course, my dear.

[Budew is on the approach! Yuuya tsks and lets her.]

You are a friend of Luna's, perhaps?

[The familiar name somewhat relaxes her.]

A-huh... she's a princess of my home.

[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.

You're a father?!

[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?

A princess? [Oh, shit. He did behave rather inappropriately in that case, didn't he?]

Well, that's a shock ... [Nervous laugh.] Lifelong learning!

[Ahem.] Anyway, I have had the pleasure of her name, but not yours, I fear.

Oh, I'm sorry... my name is... Fluttershy...

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...

A Budew...

Is it a Pokemon?

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.]

Ah, that's cute! What a lovely name. Nickname? If I'm to wager a guess it seems to suit your personality.

It is. She is. We developed quite a rapport while we were adventuring together. Quite a hellion, though, I'm afraid. She certainly didn't get that from me.

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.

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?

How does a bird take care of a Pokemon...?

Nickname? ... No, it's my full name... but, um, thank you, I think...?

[Self-fulfilling prophecy, it sounds like...]

I like it.

Now, why were you admiring me from so far away, mon amie?

... I like animals... My special talent is taking care of them.
