Video 5: Now with Bonus Swablu Hat! (Action for Traveling Party or Azalea)

[justanexpression]

[For once, the feed clicks on and Jack looks, not happy or excited or even amused, but vaguely confused and unimpressed.

A large part of that may have to do with the Swablu cooing and preening his hair. It's wrapped itself over the top of his head like a hat, and while it looks a bit worn out like it's just reached the end of far too much traveling, it also looks supremely pleased with itself.]

So, uh... Akito? I think this is your fault?

[He tries to look up at the Swablu only for it to coo even more loudly and hunker down on top of his head, as if it knows he's thinking about trying to pry it off. He sighs, but it's offset by a tiny smile.]

I think I need some advice. Don't get me wrong, okay. It's cute. Like really cute. But...

It won't move. It hasn't moved, and it's been like an hour since it came out of nowhere and landed on me. It won't even go into a pokeball. Here, watch.

[He pulls out a pokeball, and the Swablu gets pulled in at first, but soon enough, the ball pops back open as if he'd tried and failed to catch a wild pokemon. The bird flutters straight back to his head, cooing an admonishment this time.]

So yeah. Advice.

Help?

What were you planning on, then~? Did you want to look cool instead?

[justanexpression]

Wasn't really aiming for anything. Cool would definitely be better than cute, though.

[cakelover]

I don't know about that! I think cute is definitely better than cool!

[justanexpression]

Why would cute be better than cool? Don't you think I'm a little old for 'cute'?

[If only he knew how old Honey is...]

[cakelover]

Because it's cuter, of course! And you're never too old for it! Just look at me.

[justanexpression]

[Jack can't help but laugh at that.]

How old are you?

video;

[cakelover]

Nineteen!

[justanexpression]

...Honestly?

video;

[cakelover]

Yep! I'm in University and everything. Well, not here, but back home.

[justanexpression]

You really don't act it.

[Sorry, Jack is really not good at tact.]

...Not that that's a bad thing.

[cakelover]

I get that a lot~! But my grades are at the top, if that helps!

video;

[justanexpression]

I'm not sure if it does or not.

[But this has sure turned into one of his more amusing conversations today.]

[cakelover]

Anyway, if you think about it, I definitely look my age, since it's my age.

video;

[justanexpression]

...You're right. I completely can't argue with that.

video;

[cakelover]

Ne, does that mean I win~?

[justanexpression]

[He can't help shaking his head with a smile.]

Yeah, I guess it does.
