89. [Video/Action for travel group]

<sub>[A short while after the singing wild Pokemon and egg presents had died down, a rather unfortunate discovery was made upon dialing a number she'd been meaning to dial ever since Claudia Wolf and Kaito Kuroba had disappeared from Johto.]

[Already on the road, the weather's mild enough (even with the wind picking up) that Heather decided that was pretty much a good time to pocket her Valentine's Day present and just head off for a walk. Because lord knows, she needs one.]

[It's not the first time Johto has given everyone the gift of a precious little egg, but it is the first time that Heather's found herself resenting it.]

[The video feed pops on, focused in on a tiny, pale yellow little egg hardly bigger than a chicken's, nestled in the palm of Heather's hand as dry grass goes past underfoot.]</sub>



It would be so easy to just... crush it.

<sub>[... That sounds really good right now.]

[She sounds weary and not completely convinced of her own words when she replies.]</sub>

... I really shouldn't make a habit of drinking every time something like this happens.

_{[Even though right now she hardly gives a crap about what she's doing.]}

You've got a point...

[What is he even doing asking a teen to drink anyway? He feels like he's starting to sink pretty low.]

Well, there's always that restaurant anyway. And the lighthouse has a cool view...

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[She'll be all too happy to drink with him when she gets there... even though she knows better.]}

Yeah... I don't think I ever went up in the lighthouse when I was there, actually.

[video]

[failures]

I was up there once, but not for long. The weather was kinda crappy that day anyway.

Maybe it'll be better when we're there. [Eh? Ehh? Probably failed attempt at exciting her.]

[video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[It's pretty difficult to feel excited about anything right now. :(]

[But she nods anyway, sort of shrugging.]</sub>

Yeah... wish it was summer.

Bet it'd be beautiful then.

_{[She's not too sure about beach weather in February...]}

[video]

[failures]

It was summer last time I was there. It was awesome.

[Wow, has it really been that long? The days just fly by in Johto.]

But even winter produces some great sunsets and sunrises!

[video]

[foolishwren]

Sometimes...

_{[Winter sunsets as Heather knows them are sort of pale and eerie. ... But... well. Spring's coming.]}

[video]

[failures]

We'll make it work.

[He can tell his reassurance isn't really working, but he's not going to give up.]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Yeah, and... honestly? She does appreciate the effort, even if it's not really making her feel better at the moment.]}

We can try, anyway.

[video]

[failures]

You bet!

So...I'll catch you Olivine, hopefully?

[video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah.

... We'll be there soon.
