Two years. And to think I was told my stay here had a good chance of being 'temporary'.

Still, I suppose ferrying a small batch of unadopted Pokemon eggs over to Souji-kun's Breeding Center and then spending the rest of the day in the comfort of what's come to be my "own home" is still preferable to spending it mass-evolving a brood of six rambunctious Eevees, and decidedly superior to the circumstances new trainers customarily find themselves in when they first arrive.

It's a small concession, I suppose, to the much more desirable option of returning home properly — but then, I suppose Johto does have its certain advantages as well.

Shall we have a match today, Niou-kun?


[OOC: There are still free eggs left if anyone is interested in claiming one!]

It's hardly an unnatural one to make; think nothing of it. I suppose you could say I simply miss home more than I enjoy my circumstances here; it's not a question of like or dislike, just one of degree.

Memories are generally indicative of loved ones that helped make them. Are you very lonely, Saber-san?

I understand.
One of degree, that is something I never would have thought of on my own.
A shame that you cannot have both.

Loneliness is a choice I have made on my own.
One may say it is a preference.
What of yourself?
Are you lonely?

That would be most preferable, if I could have both. I admit there are a few things I'd miss about Johto if my circumstances were reversed, but not so much that I'd lament for long.

And no, I wouldn't say I'm lonely. Not anymore.

What has happened to change that?
Friends here or do your Pokemon keep you busy?

[ She's just a tad bit invested in understanding what makes people less lonely. ]
