[ !!!! ]

Thank you! I traveled around and got help from a friend. Where are you staying now?

Of course I could. It's fairly simple, really...

[Oh. Well.]

[A secret? Just for them? Wow - he's uh. He's not sure how to feel about that. And not in a bad way.]

And you would want that?

[Yeah, Mando is just now realising what he's asked for, but Shadowmaru doesn't seem opposed, so...]

yes
I'd let you choose the colour, though
I would just go with silver

are you going to the trainer tournament?

I'm impressed
you must have been working really hard

are you going to the trainer tournament? I could meet you there

I am! I've been traveling to get there before my friend. [ competition! or, more like . . . he needs to get there first or else she'll run off again. ] Would you like to see the possible move list, or would you prefer a surprise? It's going to have Play Rough, but there's more.

[ he did go all out, you know. first private customer! ]

Edited 2022-09-14 18:14 (UTC)

hold on a minute

[Just long enough for him to switch from text to video.]

Go ahead and tell me the list.

[He gets the sense that Falco wants to tell him so he can be suitably impressed.]

[ he wasn’t expecting video, but the second his screen lights back up in turn to show his face—! oh, he’s scrambling for his notebook. ]

Hi! Mister Mando— [ he knows mando already said it was alright to drop the mister, but, respect! he forgot! ] Here, it’s, [ a pidgey has landed on his head, roosting in hair, but only seems to quietly tut an ow at the talons trying to find their balance. inhale!! and reading now!! ] wood hammer, splash, astonish, scratch, copycat, shadow sneak, double team, baby-doll eyes, play rough, phantom force, dark pulse, destiny bond, curse, shadow ball, hex, and— payback!

Are you certain you wish to leave it up to me? You know my preferences lie in the purple spectrum. Ah, no. I do not particularly see a reason to, right now.

I'd expect there to be at least some purple, no matter what

No? Why not? I'll be there with the kids

We could hang out

Damn.

[For an inscrutable, blank helmet, Mando is looking very impressed.]

You really did go all out.

Any time I need a specially bred Pokemon, I'm calling you, kid.

How astute of you. Ah well I don't engage in battles, myself but if you wish, I would not say no to your company

[ oh, there was nothing else at that moment that could fill falco with warming pride in his work, striving to keep it going and excited to get more. he looks so immensely happy and beaming at the man's compliments. ahhh, mando . . . ! ]

That's—! That'd be an honor! I'd do it!

I'm not battling either
Riz is competing, though, so I'm going to cheer him on

[Very serious, helmeted cheering, but cheering it shall be!]

But there'll be time in between
You could dye my hair then, if you wanted to

[This kid... does not have a poker face. He's got the exact opposite. But it's pretty endearing, all the same.]

Can I let other people know too? If they want something particular?

And hey, let me buy you lunch at the tournament. You can invite your friend too, if you want.

Is he? I'll have to cheer for him as well then. Ah I wouldn't mind... I wouldn't mind at all.

He'd like that
He'll never admit it, but it means a lot to him that he has friends here

[Sharing the hot dad gossip.]

Good
I'll have my own room so we can make a mess in there and not bother the kids

O-Of course! [ you're going to kill him at this rate!! ] To both! Gabi would love to meet you!

[ honestly gabi would think.... cool. absolute cool @ mando ]

Ah... I'm familiar with the type. We had one on our team, actually.

[Man, it's been a while since he thought too hard about the others.]

Please, as if I'd be so unprofessional. We won't make a mess at all.

I'd be more concerned with the kids getting in the way and making a mess of your stuff
they tend to do that

what was their name? the one on your team

[Mando is very cool, it's true. Watch out, Falco: the technically-a-Disney-prince might steal your girl!]

[No. No, he would not. Although he might end up inadvertently adopting and dadding at both of them. That seems to be his thing these days.]

Good. Call me when you get there, and we'll set something up.

Ah yes, very true. Even when they don't mean to, yes? Gunmax His name is Gunmax. Never removed his helmet either, very much like yourself.

it's like they don't even see the stuff they leave lying everywhere

Gunmax, huh? what kind of stuff did he leave around?

Riz leaves coffee cups everywhere
sometimes they still have coffee in them
which the Pokemon get into
and then that's a whole thing

[Mando is perhaps looking forward to having his own hotel room for this tournament.]

Children seldom do. Boss always left his things everywhere. Yes. He was more of the... "keep others at arms' length" sort, rather than the messy one. Well, should you need a space devoid of empty coffee mugs, away from your own hotel. I've already booked a room myself.

well
we usually have our reasons

both for keeping our helmets on and keeping everyone else at an arm's length

I hope he started to get over it, though

[Like Mando is! Sort of!]

thanks
I'll come over when I need some luxury and good company

[Mando has booked a room, but he's sure it's nowhere near as nice as Shadowmaru's.]

Well, I see your reason more than his. I do believe he was just stubborn. As for getting over it... somewhat, yes.

[Unlike Shadowmaru!!]

I shall gladly await your arrival

[MANDO PLEASE LOVE YOURSELF.]
