"Yo, it's Heather. I'm probably asleep or one of the Pokemon ate my 'Gear or something so I can't answer you right now. But feel free to leave a message or something.
I'll probably get back to you. ... Probably. Peace out."

<sub>[HOW DOES A FIRE-TYPE MANAGE TO HAVE SUCH A COLD WET NOSE????? IT'S A MYSTERY.]

[Fortunately, or unfortunately, the nose is very quickly replaced by a large warm paw. BAP.]

[Envy might be trying to keep a straight face, but Heather isn't pretending to be a dead body. She doesn't have to.]</sub>

... Pfffhhaha, Scarlet, this is a very emotional moment. You're being so disrespectful.

[exeggutorhead]

[BAPPED]

[This time he SPUTTERS]

[foolishwren]

--BY GOD! IT'S A MIRACLE!

_{[Scarlet is yoinked away with a MOWP of surprise, and then Heather is hauling Envy into a sitting position, the Litleo now tucked under one arm.]}

HE'S COME BACK TO LIFE!

[exeggutorhead]

[FREE OF LION PAW YES]

[And also free of HORRIBLE DEATH]

[He makes a whole show of coughing back to life, clutching his chest as she pulls him up.]

I can't believe it! Pulled back from the brink...!

It must have been the fire type that did it...clearly I need to be warm to be fully cured....

[foolishwren]

_{[She wipes a dramatic and definitely real tear from one eye, clasping his shoulder firmly.]}

I daresay... you have convinced me.

We shall go to the beach and surf with some dinosaurs.

[exeggutorhead]

[YESSSS]

[He clasps her shoulder back with the hand that isn't clutching his heart (because obviously he also had a heart attack to go with the tuberculosis). He looks extremely serious.]

It's going to be awesome.

How many surfing backflips do you bet a recovering tuberculosis orphan can pull off?

[foolishwren]

_{[Transition from post-bereavement joyous face to lineface in two seconds flat.]}

None.

No backflips for you.

Just normal surfing.

_{[HIS TUBERCULOSIS-RIDDEN LUNGS WON'T SURVIVE BEING FILLED WITH WATER.]}

[exeggutorhead]

Aw, what?

I can do a flip. You've seen me do flips I worked for the circus.

[Envy that's not the same!!]

[foolishwren]

Flips at the circus and flips on a surfboard are two different things.

I'm sure Korra will agree with me.

_{[... Or... well... she hopes Korra will agree with her. But she doesn't actually know Korra that well and also Korra is the one who taught the T-rex to surf to begin with, so...]}

[exeggutorhead]

[THEY'LL HAVE TO FIND OUT. KORRA IS ALSO KORRA.]

Pssh, how different can it possibly be? I bet she'll agree with me.

[foolishwren]

It's on water.

This entire household has collectively narrowly avoided drowning on Henry's old Lapras floatie in the pool at least like three times.

[exeggutorhead]

...okay well that thing is a death trap, I think a surfboard is probably sturdier to stand on than that.

[Key words here: think and probably]

[foolishwren]

Mmmm, I wouldn't be too sure about that...

<sub>[Heather has never been surfing before. But she has almost definitely watched videos on the internet of people eating shit.]

[THAT SAID... this is a bridge that can be crossed later.]</sub>

So. When do you want to do this exactly.

[exeggutorhead]

[He'll learn. Boy will he ever learn. But in true Elric fashion, he'll need to learn the hard way.]

I don't know...soon? This month maybe?

She said there was a cool tree hotel.

[foolishwren]

Oh, is there?

I was gonna say, I kinda don't feel like going to that Resort Gorgeous place again.

Not that it was anyone there's fault for the alien invasion, but... you know.

_{[THAT HAD BEEN A KIND OF FUCKED UP NIGHT.]}
