_{[Wow.]

[That Vulpix on the screen sure looks pissed.]

[The ironic presence of the happy leftover Christmas lights behind it doesn't help.]

[A heavy sigh sounds from off-camera.]}

Man.

Leave it to her to get one last dig in just when I thought it was over.

_{[But Heather apparently isn't gonna elaborate on who 'her' is... though anyone who witnessed Heather's fiery freakout over the summer and knew what it was about might have a decent guess.]

[The camera just shifts as she gets up-- it lingers briefly on what looks like a box filled with crumpled wrapping paper-- in the middle of it sit two large eggs.]}

Hopefully the other living presents we got this year'll be friendlier.

_{[She turns the camera around at last and sort of regards it for a moment, chewing absent-mindedly on her lip. She's got a big wooly winter hat on, so either she just got in or she's about to go out. Probably the latter.]}

... Screw this year, man. Bring on the new one.

_{[HAPPY NEW YEAR ERRYBODY.]}

[ooc: ANYONE IN SAFFRON CITY IS FREE TO RUN INTO HEATHER, or assume she randomly stopped by wherever they are.]

[He'll pretend he hates it. Because that's also an Ironhide Thing to do.]

I have had too much of it.

Cliffjumper still sticking around Olivine.

Staying in one place for the winter, huh?

That would be his plan, yeah.

... You don't sound too happy about that.

Because I am not.

He knows it. No sense... flashing it around.

... You know... you could always... go travel for a bit. I'm sure he's fine, you know. Staying on his own for awhile.

_{[YES SHE KNOWS SHE GOT MAD AT HIM FOR LEAVING CLIFF BEFORE BUT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STORMING OFF AND JUST AGREEING TO BY YOURSELF FOR A BIT.]}

...

Kid, are you really telling me to leave? After all that fuss you put up, last time I did?

Last time, you were storming out on him with a temper.

There's a difference between having a huge fallout with somebody and just parting ways for a little while.

Yeah? And you think he will see it the same way?

I wouldn't know. Ask him.

... You know, nicely.

Without yelling.

...

Yelling is what I do.

You're not yelling right now.

Give me a few minutes. I could be.

Ironhide.

C'mon.

I know you're capable of having reasonable discussions with people.

Capable? Probably.

Not good at it, though. Dislike words.

There's no way you've been alive for millions of years without talking seriously to somebody about something.

You underestimate my ability to avoid serious talks.

_[GROAN.]

Look, man. It's just something you gotta do. It's part of being human. I know you're not a human... but you're in the skin of one right now and it's what you should do.

It's only as painful as YOU make it.

Then it will be exceptionally painful to all parties involved.

Ironhide.

Heather.

_{[If this were video, she'd just stare dully at him for awhile. Not that staring contests with Ironhide are even remotely winnable, but still.]

[But since it isn't, she settles for heaving a big sigh.]}

If you'd rather just sit around and be mad at the fact that you're stuck in Olivine, do that, I guess.

Bah.

[He falls quiet. Damn it, he hates... doing things like this.]

... Figure something out.

You'd better.

'Cuz you're grouchy enough under normal circumstances, you don't need to be extra grouchy.

More grouchy?

You mean I have not improved? Gotten kinder in my old age?
