Nanao stood by the entrance to Sprout tower, breath steaming in the crisp air. Violet City was certainly more... traditional than Newbark and Cherrygrove in some ways, and so Nanao didn't feel too out of place, dressed as she was in her kimono. She'd been wearing it more than her shihakushou, that was true, but that was mainly because the linen shihakusou was simply not warm enough in this cold climate, whereas the multiple layers of the kimono were more than adequate to deal with the cold.

Sentarou peeked out from between the flaps of her haori, cradled against her trainer's chest, the little tadpole preferring to stay where it was warm, and squeaked, just loudly enough to get Nanao's attention. From where they were, they could see all of Violet City, from the gym, all the way down past the Pokemon Centre and on to the Inn - and it was a captivating view.

"Yes, yes, I know." Nanao could even see the pond where Hitsugaya-taichou had been unceremoniously nearly drowned by his evolving Golduck - and therein lay the problem. For some reason, she could not gather up the courage to walk down the hill, and meet her fellow Shinigami; for what reason, she didn't know, but it was the reason that she had taken up residence in the spartan environ of Sprout Tower, and had avoided all forms of contact for the last two days.

Now, though, it was time to break that fear, and march down there. She took in a deep, steadying breath, and set off.

"Here goes nothing." "Polii!"

When the video clicks on, it shows Nanao completely dressed in her alternate outfit down by Cherrygrove Beach, holding a wet Pokeball in her hand. It's rather obvious that she doesn't know she's being filmed, as she starts speaking.

"I didn't know that I'd missed Christmas, nor that I would miss New Years, due to a certain... encounter." She moves forward, geta making marks in the wet sand. A quiet "Sennn...." comes from behind the camera, belying the camera-mon to be Hanatarou. She speaks again quickly, without looking back.

"No, I don't hold you responsible, Hana, how could I? If there's anyone here who could understand the trials of winter, it would be us Shinigami. How could I not remember those terrible famines - the suffering, the pain..." She looks out at the moon making patterns across the restless ocean, and it in return glinted off her glasses, softening usually harsh features.

"Did you know I'd agreed to spend the holidays not working? It's bizarre, but he wore me down, kept asking and asking.... I suppose it was when he finally sat down and did his section of the budget without any prompting that I gave up. He's persistent like that, I guess."

"Braaaa. Abra, ba ra." Kiyone walks up next to her, and placing his paw in her hand, leans his head against her leg. Her free hand reaches around and scrathes behind an ear as she continues.

"You're right, of course. It's a little sad to give in for that reason, but you haven't known the man for as long as I have. His determination is second only to his age... of which he doesn't look." She pulls out the Pokeball from her obi, and gazes at it pensively, before bringing up to her lips and brushing it with the lightest of kisses.

"I'll call you Shunsui... in his memory." Isane floats up next to her, and Hantarou too decides to scarper up next to her. Their unvoiced message is clear: you have us, and we'll never abandon you. We'd follow you to the ends of the route and beyond, we'd do anything for you. We love you, just as much as he said he did. She kneels, and they cluster in. The feed times out to a view of a single tear rolling down her face.

//TO HICCUP AND TOOTHLESS;

If you swing by the beach tomorrow, I'll gladly start to teach Toothless how to speak.

It was late afternoon, and the light was beginning to fade, shadows lengthening and Hoothoots began to chime the hour, and Ise Nanao could see the lights of Cherrygrove.
