I'm assuming that by virtue of being able to send this message... you're still with us?

yes, I'm still here

it got busy when we got back
Riz picked up another kid, so now I'm traveling with two

Thank you. No need to explain. I simply wished to check in.

[Because his only other close friend is gone so...]

I went on your Starrytube page

[NOT because he missed Shadowmaru or anything! Just... because.]

I like the ombre dips you do

Oh? Did you? Would you... like some of your own?

could you do it?

no one would see it except you
but I do like how they look

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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.]
