Hello... you've reached Chihiro Fujisaki. I apologize for missing you, but, um... please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

[Chihiro pauses briefly when Shaun says that. He'd recently gotten possession of Rose's Musharna, so he took the liberty of doing a bit of research about them. The Pokemon is closely related with dreams...]

Are...are you afraid that, if you fall asleep...you might have a bad dream?

[Shaun nods, briefly forgetting he doesn't have video turned on.]

Yeah... It's been a really long time since I slept without her, a-and... it's about the time that I...

I don't want to go to sleep.

[SHAUN :C]

I see...It's okay. I...I have bad dreams sometimes too.

[Being locked in a never ending hallway, no way out...every door he opens is a dead end, and the floor is stained pink with blood...]

Is...is there anything I can do to help?

[Another muffled whimper, as he lays down and squeezes his eyes shut. He's so dumb, he's totally bugging her and she's going to think he's weird... But he wanted to talk to someone quiet, and he really liked Chihiro.]

Can you... talk with me for a little while? Like, I dunno... How's Cookie and Cake doing?

Audio

[codeforhope]

....Of course. I don't mind at all.

[He's not really tired anyway, and he had expected for Zip to keep him up a while with his usual evening chatter.]

They are doing very well! Cake evolved not too long ago, actually...so now it's easier for her and her brother to get into things they shouldn't.

[The way he says that betrays that he really doesn't mind it, though. They're mischievous, but they're sweethearts.]

Audio

[neededlassie]

Thanks, Chihiro.

[Chihiro has one of those voices that you can hear the smile in, and it's such a calming sound that Shaun smiles, too, even if it's small.]

I hope they don't get into too much trouble. But then it's kind of hard to tell them no sometimes, I bet...

Audio

[codeforhope]

Eehehe, it's always hard to tell them no. I do enjoy having them around the house, though. They get along well with my other Pokemon, especially Hogosha.

Audio

[neededlassie]

That's good. Hogosha is your Arcanine, right?

[Sometimes it's hard to keep Japanese names straight. Forgive his little white bread head.]

Audio

[codeforhope]

Mhm, that's him! He's calmed down a lot since he evolved...but sometimes I think that Cookie and Cake are a bad influence on him.
