Handing Volo his Togepi and telling him she was “looking for mama” and he just takes his egg daughter like “haha yeah… wait…”

Seeing Hoopa messing around with Lear and asking the creature “aw, are you playing with mama?” And he just… looks at you…

Please I’m cackling

"Are you looking for your mama?" to a Joltik. It hops up and down and lets out a chirp. You then carry it to Emmet and alert them that you have found mama. Emmet embraces it for but a moment and coos that mama is right here. You give the strange look this time.

"Do you want mama?" you ask a confused Litwick staring at Ingo on the phone. He has to pause to glance at you. There is nothing more said as he continues his call.

"Did mama lock you out?" You ask the poor, mrowing Meowth. The door to the police station opens as Nanu stares unamused. He takes the Meowth in and shuts the door. You gasp in offence.

Holding a Beldum that Steven is caring for while seeing it acting strange. "Missing mama?" you asked. It lets out a cry. Steven, who is dusting a stone nearby, has to physically pause to process that. Especially when you hand the Beldum to him.

"Mama is hungover again, isn't he?" you ask the Liepard watching Grimsley nurse a headache with coffee. He shoots a tired glance at you. Leipard lets out a meow in concurrence.

Litleo bravely lighting the burner that Grisham uses to boil his water.

Beldum watching Steven (carefully) assault a wall with a pick to dig out a shiny stone.

Joltik menacingly puffing up at someone littering on a train while Emmet approaches.

Litwick looking at the paperwork Ingo is reviewing on his laptop curiously.

Hoopa vibing with Lear in the treasure vault.

Meowth hissing at a Team Skull member trying to vandalise something while Nanu tiredly asks them not to.

Liepard slapping a button on a slot machine before Grimsley can.

Venipede wearing a mock pair of Corbeau's glasses and staring down someone who took a loan with the Syndicate while Corbeau casually threatens them.

Togepi holding the Fairy Plate and attempting a maniacal laugh. Volo stops doing that himself.

Dratini trying to stand tall wearing a cape and slithering after a Rocket member. Lance sighs at the sight. (Then has his Dragonite Hyper Beam them.)

He had become shockingly clingy.

The Volo you had known in Hisui was one who could appreciate closeness – demanding a shared tent in the winds when you two had searched for the plates together – but he was hardly the type to demand your touch constantly.

However, the Volo before you was much different. His hand held your own tightly, interlocking fingers and making it difficult to pull away from him. If that was too much for you, he would instead wrap his arm around your shoulders and barely give you room to escape. When you both were alone together, he would keep you pressed into him and mumble affectionate words. He had missed you. That was his answer when you asked why.

Child Grisham laying on his back with Charmander curled up on his chest, afraid to roll over and accidentally snuff out the fire at the end of his tail

Child Lear sneaking out at night with Hoopa to go stargazing, only to fall asleep together in the grass.

Child N curled up around Zoroua protectively like a mother Zoroark would bc that is!!!! his friend!!!! he will keep him safe!!!!!!

Hoopa warps Lear back to his bed so that he doesn't get in trouble anymore than he inevitably will.

Grisham is so, so scared of how fragile Charmander is with the tail. He likely tanked an attack to protect him, too, even...

N loves his Zorua. His brother, basically. They are bonded in a way that no one else can understand.

Child Guzma sleeping outside with his Wimpod, trying to avoid his dad and being with his buddy.

Child Colress not sleeping but rather staying awake for many more hours than is healthy with his Klink. The gears just watch him in distress.

Ingo could be swayed on it, and he would tear up if Erin grabbed the train he added. (Very insistent.)

Emmet does it out of curiosity. He, too, places a train. However, the girls ignore it. Emma goes after a microphone that Elesa had suggested while Inka grasps a seal. Emmet states plainly he does not know how to take that.

Corbeau would do it, too. Erabitori, more correctly. He would take it very seriously and notes what each child chooses intensely. Lupine picked a shalot, Oleander picked the sword, Galan picked money, Wisteria picked a calculator, and Lilium chose a pen. He feels these are all wonderful choices for them.

Lance, too, as a very traditional sort. The family celebrates Yuji choosing a sword. That was what Lance chose as well, drawing in more comments on the already budding resemblance. Honoka picked a microphone that Clair insisted for some modernity. No one knows how to take that one.

Steven would do it, but only with your wanting. He is not so certain about many traditional things. He places a rock in with the typical items. Naturally, Lapis grabs said rock. Steven applauds and says she continues the legacy of the Stones. You want to sigh.

Grimsley says he is curious about it, more wanting to take it as a game of chance than any real fortune ceremony. Granted, he is shocked when Morrigan crawls for the coin he put down for fortune while Nero picks up the sword. He feels a bit of dread at the implications there.

Cyrus is very uncertain and comments about the absurdity of superstition. However, he will relent under an acceptance for normalcy. Lenie crawling towards the ruler and holding it curiously makes his heart race. Something inside of him bursts with a happiness that makes him nervous. Apparently, that had been what he grabbed, too.

N would gladly experience this. He thinks it sounds like a lovely thing to gauge what interests Clover, at least. And, anything calling on fortune seems like a nice thing. Naturally, Clover takes to the grass straw on the table and holds it. He finds that absolutely adorable.

Volo spotted dine and dashing at Le Wow.
