Irinor

Morgi: I love you both. :3

Iri Manor

Near Robin

Rembrandt: <It is, isn't it?~>

Near Joseph

(The squeeing continues in earnest.)

Near Crowley

-Robin pets again-

Iri Manor, near Robin

(Rembrandt nuzzles Robin's hand gleefully.)

Rembrandt: <You wouldn't happen to have any Pokémon of your own, would you? I love new friends~>

Near Rembrandt

Robin: Sure!

-sends out his mons-

Helix and Sam: -see Rembrant- ...

<ACK>

-back away quickly-

Florence: <Guys, he's not gonna hurt you...> -_-;

Robin: ...Oh. Right. Dragons don't like Fairies.

Near Robin

Rembrandt: <The Gabite's got it! I just wanted to say hi!> :3

-Iri Manor-

-Notices that "Lane" has gone quiet-

Hey, space cadet! You alright?

Near Rembrant

Helix: <Um, hi?>

-Sam perches on Crowley's shoulder-

Iri Manor

-"Lane" blinks slightly-

"Lane": Oh, uh, y-yeah, I'm fine. Just... y'know...

-Fun thing about Ditto is, they can actually fake a blush.-

Iri Manor

(Crowley shoots a curious and slightly distrustful look at the Noibat.)

Rembrandt: <Hey, c'mon, be a little more lively! I won't bite!> :3c

Iri Manor

Lane:You wanna try heading back now, Iggy?

-The small Darumaka nodnods.-

Ignia:<Y-hic!-Yes, Pa-hic!-pa...>-clings to Lane-

-Land stands with Ignia in his arms.-

Lane:Great. Now...

-looks around.-

Which a did I come from again...?

-Iri Manor-

Worried about your pokemon? Well, you don't have to hang out with me. Go check on him! I won't be offended. Besides, we already have hang-out time planned for later, remember?

Iri Manor

"Lane": <(Phew, got another chance to actually do this right.)> Er, uh... r-right. I'll... Be back, I guess.

-He pretends to leave to go look.-

Near Crowley

Sam: <What?> :3

-Helix pokes-

Iri Manor

-Morgi points in a direction.- I think it was that way, brother.

Iri Manor

Crowley: ...why do I get the feeling you're up to something?

(Rembrandt giggles and strokes Helix with a ribbon.)

Near Crowley

Sam: <Because I'm Sam of the Starfall clan?> :3

-Helix paws at the ribbon-

Iri Manor

(Crowley reaches to stroke Sam's ears, though he seems to be doing it out of perceived necessity.)

Rembrandt: <See? You've not been harmed at all so far!>

Near Crowley

-Sam is pet-

Helix: <You're nice!>

Iri Manor

Rembrandt: <I knew that already.> :3

Near Crowley

Robin: Hmmm... We should be going now.

-He and his mons leave-

-Crowley may notice a wallet missing-

Iri Manor

(The joke is on Sam here - Crowley's wallet contains nothing except disused paintbrush heads.)

Iri Manor

Lane:Thanks, Morgan.

-He carries the hiccuping Daru back to the chocolate fountain.-

Hey, Rebecca! Sorry...just had to take care of some business.

-Ignia hiccups very cutely.-

-Jason and Maria exist.-

-Iri Manor-

-sees Lane-

Wait, what? But I thought-didn't you just-cause you left-and now you're here-and really, what???

-stares a Lane for a bit before sighing and shaking her head-

You know what? Forget it. I'm too tired to deal with Parent Trap shenanigans. I'm gonna go find a spare room somewhere in the manor to sleep off the champagne I snuck, which is also probably contributing to this madness.

-kisses Lane on the cheek-

Goodnight Lane. See you in the morning!

-walks off to find a spare bedroom-

Iri Manor

-Lane blushes a bit, watching Rebecca leave.-

Lane:Yeah...see you in the morning...

Ignia:'<Are you feeling alright, Papa?>

Lane:Y-...Yeah...just fine, sweetie.

-He goe back to wandering. He may be given Christmas prezzies~.

-Jason and Maria are still about.-
