Hello! I'm not around at the moment, but if you leave a message I'll get back to you!

[samsa]

Soon, probably. I've been in Ecruteak for about a week, and I've looked around pretty much everything in town by now. I think I'll try to head back in the next few days.

[shuttermouse]

The two of us could travel somewhere when you get back.

[samsa]

Yeah? Is there somewhere particular you want to go, Chie-san?

[shuttermouse]

I was thinking Ilex Forest and Azalea. The forest's a few days south of Goldenrod.

[samsa]

[There's a short pause before he answers. Mostly because he's reminded, for some reason, of a conversation he had with Tsukiyama recently. If what he said was true, then traveling might do him some good.

Why not.]

Hm...we could probably meet up in Goldenrod, if you want. When do you plan on heading back, yourself?

[shuttermouse]

Today or tomorrow, probably.

[samsa]

...now that I think about it, I actually don't know how long it takes to get from Ecruteak back to Goldenrod. I can probably find something to ride on since I can't fly yet, but it might take some time.

[shuttermouse]

...Or we can just use the Teleport trick.

[samsa]

Carrie can't do it since I've already visited the Pokemon Center here...unless you wouldn't mind letting me borrow your Abra when you get to Goldenrod.

[shuttermouse]

That's what I was thinking. I'll heal Himiko up once I get there and have Ikefukuro fly her over.

[samsa]

That will work, then.

[There's a pause before he sends another text, because he just remembered something.]

I should mention, though...my friend Maka is going to be holding a book club meeting at her home in Olivine sometime soon. Her Alakazam is going to be bringing people over if they can't travel there on their own, and I already told her I would be there.

Do you think you would mind coming with me to that? If the meeting doesn't happen before we start traveling, anyway.

[shuttermouse]

idk if I'll go to the actual meeting but I can come with you to Olivine.

[samsa]

That's fine. We won't have to be there more than a day anyway, unless you'd like to stay longer.

[shuttermouse]

Nah, I don't think so. I was there for about a week before I was brought to Kanto during that weird weekend.

[ So she's already seen what the city has to offer. ]

[samsa]

I just want to go for the meeting, so that's fine with me. We can keep going on to Azalea after that. I never visited Azalea or any of the towns beyond New Bark, so I'd be interested to see what they're like anyway.

[shuttermouse]

I heard the forest's pretty big. I bet it has a lot of interesting wildlife.

[samsa]

It probably does. I'm sure that photo album of yours will come in handy, once we get there.

[shuttermouse]

It's already full, though. But I can bring it with me and show you pics of Tsukiyama-kun when he was 16.

[samsa]

[...oh my god Tsukiyama is going to kill you, Chie.]

..oh. So that's what you have in it?

[shuttermouse]

[ c: ]

Yup. Are you curious?

[samsa]

...a little, actually.

[shuttermouse]

Maybe I'll even tell you how we met, if I feel like it.

[samsa]

[Tsukiyama had told him a little about it, though not everything, he's sure. He can't help but be curious.]

Alright. It sounds like you and Tsukiyama-san have been friends for a long time.

[shuttermouse]

It's been almost six years or so since we met. Something like that.

[samsa]

[...he probably shouldn't ask, but he can't help it.]

Has his...fashion sense changed at all since you've known him?

[Not that he has any room to talk in saying that, but.]
