11th book; another three years older {video/action for saffron}

What has it been, a year and... eight months? Well, seven. And yet I have aged three years in that time. {A sigh.} It’s good to know that this place makes as little sense as ever.

. . .

Tell me Johto, Kanto, have you ever heard the Legend of Tanabata? It is an old tale, and like all good stories, contains both love and heartbreak. It seems to be a particularly favoured theme, to be quite honest, as it pops up again and again throughout the myths and legends of all cultures. {She smiles, and she looks at peace, contented.} It’s my birthday today – well, not just mine. Crow Hogan, I hope you have a wonderful day, and that you enjoy your presents.

One hundred and forty years... It sounds impossibly old, doesn’t it? Ah, but I am so young compared to some of my colleagues back home. Happy Tanabata, everyone.

{She can be found wandering around Saffron today, just chilling and enjoying the lovely weather.}

[....Maybe a few? He only pecks because his trainer won't go the right way, though! It's all for a good cause!

Now that he's free he's just dusting himself off and--well. Hello to you too, Isis. You guys sure like crawling all over him, don't you? As for what her human-mother will find, well, that's a rather thick mystery novel under the paper. He really wasn't sure what to get her, okay?]

I kept the receipt. You can return it if you'd prefer something else.

{...has he tried talking to him?}

{Isis just purrs happily - which sounds bizarre coming from a human throat, and it's even weirder considering that she's actually a fox. None of her Pokemon are ever going to be normal, sadly.}

To Kill A Togetic... Sounds very interesting, and I've honestly been hankering for a good read.

{I couldn't help the pun.....}

[Several times. Something always gets lost in translation.

That is indeed a very bizarre sound to be coming from the mouth of a human-looking girl, but he's learned over the past few months to never assume anything when it comes to those around Nanao....well. That and he saw the feed where this girl turned back into a fox, so it's not that weird. Not really. Just awkward finding a place to pet if she wants scritches; humans aren't made for scritchings.]

The clerk kept saying it was the best book he'd ever read. I assume he knows what he's talking about, considering his place of employment.

[Punniest pun to ever be punned. ...or something.]

{Perhaps both Natu and trainer need lessons :|a}

{She'll just gently butt his hand with her head, then. PAT ME :C!! It's not that hard.}

One would hope so. And thank you again for your gift, it's wonderful.

{If it's one thing I like, it's puns.}

[Clearly. Lots and lots of lessons.

Okay, okay! Settle down, girl. You'll get your pats...and you'll also be the only one to see that faint smile, too. He's pleased that Nanao liked the gift, but too emotionally constipated to show it. Whoops?]

I wasn't sure what to get you, honestly. I didn't have much time to plan.

[And he likes his plans. Really. She knows that oh so well.]

{All the lessons. In due time.}

{Yay pats!}

Well, for a last-minute gift, it's wonderful.

{She knows it! It's just a pity that they don't work. Sometimes.}

[Hopefully before trainer loses and eye or bird ends up thrown into the water. Which may happen. At some point.

Don't start squirming for more, Isis. It'd be one thing if you were in fox-form, but like this? Awkward!]

That's good to hear.

[Just leaning his head back against that tree now. No more needs to be said, right?

Also, only sometimes? More like they've failed all the time since he got here! His success to failure ratio is still dropping.]

{She'll throw both of them in if it comes to that :I}

{And nah, she's just chilling. c: Hitsugaya is comfy.}

Say, when's your birthday? I've forgotten.

{Evil plans? Her? Nahhhh.}

{IT WILL RISE AGAIN SOMEDAY _{god no just too much innuendo everywhere.}}

[Hopefully with some way to fish them out of the drink nearby, too. He can't swim, after all; could barely get out of the pond in Violet that one time.

Oh, good. Chilling he can deal with...even if a shiver just went up his spine. Nanao, why are you asking that--oh. Huh. Odd that she'd forget anything.]

December 20th.

[Looking at you. Should he be concerned, Momthing? Should he?]

{That's what Kana's for! Laprases are helpful.}

{Also she didn't know his birthday. Really. :|b}

Really? Hmm.

{nope nothing to be worried about}

[More helpful than Mizumaru, at any rate. That duck is something else.

Really? Huh. ...Also what's that hmm for?]

What?

[Oh good. He'll be extra worried, then.]

{Nooothing :3}

Nothing.

{s m i r k}

[Nothing. Nothing...It's never nothing. Ever.

Just...this face in the face of that smirk. Momthing why is he getting the feeling he should be running for the Ice Path right now?]

Why do I have trouble believing that, Ise?

{Shrug!}

Because your sense of incoming danger is finally working?

{ /SNARK }

[Staaareeeeeee. No words are said, but....Danger, from you? Ise, don't even try to give him that. You're the one person he's sure can't physically hurt him in this world, and proving him wrong would make him even more of a hermit.

Granted, the snark is something he's come to expect. No wonder she could keep Kyouraku in line.]

{Ha. Hahaha.}

Oh look, it was a joke. Your sense of humour is worse than Kuchiki-taichou's.

[Yeaaaaah...he really should be worried. Goodness.]

Considering what Abarai and his sister get into, can you blame him for having no sense of humor?

[He remembers them busting out to go help Kurosaki in Hueco Mundo, after all. For someone like Byakuya, that would gone against everything he stood for in terms of rules. No way would he find that amusing.]

But Kuchiki-taichou has never had a sense of humour! _{At least, not one that was recognisable to any normal human being.} I would know, I've known him for a century.

{He wasn't so bad when he was kid... Not icy, merely a very fiesty tsundere.}

{Which was absolutely hilarious.}

Would he have had a need for one back then? [He's heard a few rumors, after all, and if things like that actually happened...well. He can't blame Kuchiki for acting that way.] Or perhaps he has one and has just never had a reason to show it.

...or perhaps it's so horrible that we've just never noticed whenever he's tried to use it.

[shrug.] Perhaps. Though considering all the time he's spent with Abarai, I doubt that would be the case.

Abarai-san's obliviousness is legendary, with all due respect.
