[... SHIT. He is, isn't here. Hang on a second, he needs to come up with an excuse for that.]

You surprised? We don't get flying marshmallows back where I come from.

[Perfect.]

[thatsmycue]

Well, yeah. Starin' is kind of weird. Is he weirding you out, Togetaro?

[The Togekiss just gives Ragna the stink eye]

[rebellions]

[Wouldn't be the first animal on board to do that, actually. But sure, he can have a staring contest with a living pillow, why the hell not.



Staring...



Staaaaaariiiiiing...


Okay fuck that he can't.

Without as much as a warning or explanation, Ragna walks over to the Pokémon and

... gently pets it on the head.]

[thatsmycue]

. . .

[This action is met with silence from both Gold and Togetaro-- the latter too surprised to really move away as Ragna pats his head]

[And then eventually, Gold speaks up again, amusement obvious in his voice. . .]

Hehehe, you've got a soft side!

[rebellions]

[Ragna doesn't seem to notice that both the trainer and Pokémon are too dumbstruck to react, far too focused on feeling the fluffiness under his glove. If one looks closely, they might even notice a tiny hint of a smile forming on his lips.]

Wow, it's really soft...

[And this continues... until Gold calls him out. At which point he turns back to look at him with his usual, annoyed glare.]

The hell are you talking about? I was just... checking... if it's real.

[Which would probably sound a lot more convincing if his hand wasn't still stubbornly buried in Togetaro feathers.]

[thatsmycue]

Why wouldn't Togetaro be real?

[Yeah, he's not buying that excuse at all.]

You don't hafta hide it. There's nothin' wrong with havin' a soft spot for soft creatures.

[rebellions]

I told you, we don't have anything like that back in my world!

[Which isn't necessarily a lie. Sure, he's seen a talking, expandable red bat and a shape-shifting cat that turns into an umbrella, but this is a new one. Though it probably doesn't explain why he's still petting him.

But holy shit, he could do this all day.]
