[The only sound for a moment is the knock of the gear being tapped against something semi-hard, and similarly the only thing in focus is a white eggshell with the corners of red and blue shapes.
Also the sound of the 'Gear being chewed on. Omnomnomnom.]
Are you getting into trouble already, you little scamp?
[The voice is deep, warm, and affectionate.]
That's not food, here, let me trade you-
[The feed is a little smeared on one corner, and the camera unknowingly focuses on a large, pale hand offering one of thedonuts rice balls that Mom packs standard in her bento to a very small Togepi, who takes it in its little hands and shoves the whole thing into its mouth at once. The voice laughs offscreen, and the camera gets a closeup of his green overalls as he untucks his purple t-shirt to wipe the drool off the corner.
It's then that he notices that the camera's on, and finally brings his face into focus.]
...Sorry about that, I hope he didn't bother anybody.

But the invitation makes him a little uncertain, and he traces the sharp edge of Togepi's shell with the pad of his thumb just lightly enough not to wake him.]
If you guys don't mind a third wheel...

[And she's determined to keep it that way, no matter what reservations North may have. These are her freelancers now, thank you very much.
deliberately ignoring his phrasing? what do you mean deliberately ignoring his phrasing? she's not deliberately ignoring his phrasing at all. That would not be a very adult way to handle this situation.]
We've got a lot of ground to cover, you know.
[What do you mean 'Slow the fuck down, Carolina'?]
[Action]
Whoa there, Carolina, slow down. The Gyms aren't going anywhere. Structures built planetside, they're usually stationary.
[He turns to face her, but as he does, he manages to block his hand with Delta Two and half his body. He waves his hand in a small, flat motion from side to side, a discreet 'nuh-uh' to North while his gaze is pointedly on Carolina.
Naw, buddy. They're together again, but probably not together together, y'knowumsaying.]
Anyway, you heard the lady. Looks like you're stuck with us, man.
[Action]
Clearly if she didn't punch you that means she's open to negotiation.]
No place I'd rather be. Any idea where the first one of these Gyms is?
[Action]
He said the first gym is run by a man named Falkner in Violet city. That's right after Cherrygrove.
[COME ON BOYS YOU'RE TOO SLOW.]
We'll have time to train for it on the way.
[Action]
Man. You think we could pick up a car in Cherrygrove? I could go for a car right about now. Dibs on driver.
[Action]
Somehow I doubt this place has a real market for cars. You might be able to find one of these guys that's about the same size of one.
[Action]
Besides, York, looks like you haven't been keeping up drills for the past few years.
[Just gonna whack him gently in the arm.]
It'll do you both some good. Let's figure out what our plans are for the night.
[Action]
You know, for that, North rides shotgun in my future PokéCar. Or steed. But there's nowhere to stay here, right? I guess it's the old "sleeping bag on the side of the road" song and dance again.
