[A tinny man's voice gives what is clearly a default answer machine message. Vira-Lorr is still figuring the phone out it seems.]
"Hello, we are not available now. Please leave your name and phone number after the beep. We will return your call."

[Franciscus sits down, doing his best to stay dignified about it instead of just sprawling over. He's about to answer when the chicken appears and he stares at it for a moment. Oh, hello little chicken. He turns his head to smile at it, before turning back to Vira-Lorr.]

Some water would be nice.

[onerthes]

[The fairy creature made a chirping sound before settling on the breakfast bar and watching them quietly while she went to pour him some water.]

I can definitely do that. Sometimes water is the best remedy for what troubles you. As simple a solution, yet essential.

...don't mind Susan. She's harmless. [Not in the slightest.] I think she's curious about you. [That was likely true.]

[silvertongueheir]

[He's pretty sure there's zero actual studies about it, but he figures drinking wine right after coming back from the dead is a bad idea.]

Oh, I certainly don't mind. I am fond of birds, after all, and she's quite a pretty creature.

[onerthes]

[Probably, but she'd never been good at living only by good ideas, had she?]

She is, in her own way. Very intelligent too. Quite a strange little creature if you ask me. I wonder why she has so much power.

[silvertongueheir]

Power? Now you've made me curious about what, specifically, her abilities are. I assume they're related to the crystal somehow?

[onerthes]

Oh, it's a kind of creature that has magical powers on its own, and can cast powerful spells much as I could. I think it is natural to the creature, though I do think they use that to focus their power.

[silvertongueheir]

[He nods in understanding.] Did she arrive here with you as well?

[onerthes]

Susan? No, she appeared about a month ago in a basket. I freaked out at first, though... well, honestly, I don't entirely remember why I was. She's been a delight, honestly, and I couldn't imagine not having all of these creatures around the house. They keep me company.

[Memories of fighting Luijts like Susan back home? Gone entirely right now.]

[silvertongueheir]

[Franciscus nods in enthusiastic agreement.] I can't imagine not having my Pokemon with me, either. I'm still not used to the idea that so many people don't consider their companionship a common thing...

[onerthes]

I suppose that it is one of the traits of your world that is most singular to it. I haven't sen anyone with similar circumstances before. Still it is fascinating in way.

And now... i seem to have one to live with me.
