[ but of course, that doesn't mean that there's nothing there. he strikes his classic thinking pose, eyes darting between her and the "empty" spot that she's motioned to. ]
[ he's been here for less time than edgeworth, of course... but looking back on his own arrival and all of the things that have happened since then make time feel stretched out. ]
[ oh god, his saviour. adrien's struggling with just two fussy robot cats in his hands, but he's at least being careful enough not to hurt them at all as he carries them on his way back to the cat café to join the other two he'd managed to find.
but yes, metagross doesn't even need to touch down with all those cats on its back for adrien's expression to brighten somewhat. seeing one of steven's Cool Pokémon is always enough for that. ]
Meta— [ whoops that sure is a robot paw up in his face, making it a little difficult to speak ] —Hey, Metagross! You caught more than I did, huh?
[ life is good when you have your own magnetic field to control, tbh. and since adrien seems to be having some trouble, it'll gently lift the cats in his hands to rest them on his head as well. it doesn't seem too bothered by it, but silently nods.
around that time, adrien will be getting a voice call on his cerevice from steven. ]
adrien blinks a bit when the cats are pulled from his hands, not quite determining what was happening until they settled onto metagross' head. at that point he smiles in gratitude, though his fanboy-ing is cut short by the sound of that call coming through.
honestly, adrien probably doesn't even need to confirm it with words given how his tone is probably a little bit more chipper when he answers. ]
Hi again, Steven. [ metagross is as cool as always, because: ] 'Course it did, it's Metagross. How come you didn't drop by too?
[Now that she was freshly groomed - sleek and shiny and she wanted more, but Silver was consistent when it came to grooming and once it was over, it was over- the espeon had free reign to wonder around while Silver was busy taking care of Shiko and Oda - on the other side of the park.
To be fair thought, she'd picked up the scent of pokemon, and was trotting after it, nose to the ground like a dog. Was it another pokemon? Was it a trainer? She wouldn't know until she found the scent. Though, it didn't hurt to call out a greeting, too. 8-bit sounds gooo-] Mrrei?
but he'll reply to that response with a smile and a small chuckle. ]
I'm afraid Beldum and I are a little... "wrapped up" at the moment.
[ a moment later, he'll get a picture message - it's of beldum, pretty much covered in a pile of robot kittens. a quick headcount will show that it's the remaining ones that aren't on metagross' head. ]
Once you've secured the ones that Metagross had, I'll have it come back to pick up the rest of them. They're quite attracted to Beldum's magnetism, but I'm afraid it can't pick them all up itself.
[ for him, it's only going to come up on six months soon - he can't imagine spending an entire year here. but that's something he'll keep to himself. ]
Only green tea for me. I think I need something to unwind.
