[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?

....something for me?

[Something for him. A Valentine's Day gift, just for him.

Color him touched - if not clued in all the way.]

[digital_bingo]

[Oh man the floor sure is interesting right now.]

Y-yeah... It's a... it's a thing. I-- I'm not really sure what's in it-- I mean, well it's probably chocolate or something, but I don't remember actually...

[Oh. Rambling. Attractive.]

...I'll give it to you when we meet up.

[video]

[empireofmymind]

I'll look forward to it! Thanks.

[You just might have made his day. He's really looking forward to seeing everyone in person....]

Do you have an idea of when you'll arrive?

[Oh he hopes that doesn't sound like he just wants his gift. He wants his friends!]

[video]

[digital_bingo]

Hopefully in a week... We ended up backtracking and got stuck in the inn again. I just hope it's okay to travel with an egg in this cold!

[Video]

[chosen_light_child]

... The egg's bouncing?

Maybe it's going to hatch soon?!

[ How sweet! Ken-kun's friend. ]

You are a friend of young Ken's? That is sweet ... I am sure he will like that very much.

[trying to pinpoint happy subject-]

Ken Ichijouji? Is that a very special friend of yours?

[video]

[empireofmymind]

Ah, I wrapped one in the spare outfit...it worked.

[There's a bit of static, and then a Happiny (the same one from his prior visits to Johto) has climbed up to cling to Ken's shoulder and front, handing him something.

Ken shows Miyako his (very tiny, yellow) event egg.]

And the other Pokémon have helped with this one.

[skyborn]

[Aren't you glad he has an idea of that blushyawkwardface and the name she said, so he won't ask about it? Yeah, that similar egg is catching his attention more.]

I have an egg like that too. It hops like the Loftwing eggs I've seen, so I have assumed it was natural.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[... Oh ho. He sees what you did there, missy.]

Weeeeell, at least it looks like no one needs to look for a date for ya, hmm?

[BUT YES, DEM EGGS.]

Yeah, 's all yours! It might be hopping 'cause it's close to hatching or something.

[video]

[hopeboy]

Maybe it's about to hatch that's why it hops sometimes? [Ignore the fact that he asked the same question Hikari did.]

[video]

[digital_bingo]

[Doing her best not to squee because that is just a world of cute.]

It's a baby!

[OH HIS PURE AND GENTLE SOUL, HIM AND ALL HIS POKES.]

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

You think so?! I really hope it does! [She grins.] I wonder what kind of pokémon it is...

video;

[digital_bingo]

[She blushes and nods.] I hope so! I... don't remember getting it for him, though...

video

[digital_bingo]

A very special friend? W-well, I don't know about that-- well, I mean... all of my friends are special and stuff!

Just...

[She idol worships this one. But there is no way to word that without sounding like a fangirl. So she will just watch this egg hop and fidget.]

[video]

[digital_bingo]

[YOU'RE AWESOME.]

Really? My last eggs didn't hop around as much... I guess some are just really active in there.

[video]

[digital_bingo]

[And she turns a good ten shades of red.]

N-no! I'm not-- It's... It's a friendship gift!

[Eggs. Change of subject she can do. So after rubbing her hands against her cheeks, she looks back at it.]

You think so? I wonder what it is...

[video]

[digital_bingo]

Maybe! That'd be really neat, then I could figure out what it is.

video

[her_mouse_jesty]

Juuust~?

[she teases because she loves. really.]

video

[digital_bingo]

I don't know! H-he's just... Just special in a different way... M-maybe... Oh gosh, I can't believe I said that. [Doing that uguu eyes thing.]

video

[her_mouse_jesty]

Teeheehee~! How wonderful!

[video]

[empireofmymind]

So it seems. [He turns the egg over in his hand, smiling.]

It's smaller than all the others, so I was surprised...have they ever come in different sizes before?

[Ken relaxes when talking about Pokémon. He's taken to that aspect of this journey quite well.]

[Video]

[chosen_light_child]

*Hikari giggled at that.*

I'm pretty sure. It's not like I haven't taken care of eggs before they hatched whilw here, after all.

I don't know what it could be though.

video;

[the_whitequeen]

You don't? I don't understand ... Then did you buy it for someone else?

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Sure it is! And you going red as a beet totally proves that, huh?

[SORRY, BUT CROW'S A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING LIKE THAT.]

Can't say I've seen anything like this one before.
