[There is a long, long moment of Miyako awkward.

She's sitting at the desk in an inn, with three packages and an egg on the wooden surface in front of the gear. And, judging by the uncertain face she's making, she's quite uncomfortable with this.]

So... A few of my friends left this city, and it reminded me that I... have these...

They're from Valentine's day, and, um...

[Gosh, so awkward.]

I talked to a person on the gear the other day. He told a riddle about a man named Mr. Holmes. I... don't really know who it was but, um... I... got you something?

And, um... Ken-ku--Ichijouji-kun...

[She looks away, cheeks burning red.] I... got something for you too.

And this egg! [LA LA SUBJECT CHANGE. With that, she reaches past the three gifts and lifts up a bright red, blue, and white egg.] I'm... Is it mine? It is, right? It's... well, I don't know what it is, but it'll be neat to see when it hatches! It hops sometimes!

...is that natural?

Well, it bounced at the question! So I'm sure it did.

[And it bounces again when Ken speaks. The egg is totally responding to his voice... Or just sounds or noises. Or it's just a bouncing egg.

Miyako's pretty sure whatever is inside here is totally buds with Ken. She laughs as she pats it gently.]

I think it likes you.

[Ken smiles awkwardly. He hopes he's helping.]

It's excited to be born....

It is! But it doesn't seem to want to come out just yet... Maybe tomorrow.

[Eggs, the promise of new beginnings....that, and it's oddly charming to think of the creature already wanting to meet them. Studies did indicate human children can hear their parents before birth, so why not Pokémon...?]

It'll know when it's ready. Let's trust it, and wait.

[She nods.]

Patience is a virtue and all.

[A simple nod. You put that well.]
