[ now that he's closer, skarmory's eyes will trail from stahn to the sword at his side. while he can't hear dymlos, pokémon tend to have a higher sensitivity to spirits than humans. he's not sure what it is, but there's something interesting about that blade. maybe this human is worth investigating after all... steven might be curious about him, too.

speaking of the devil, both stahn and skarmory will hear what appears to be a person whistling in the distance to call for something. it's a sound that the steel-type knows well, and that means that he'll need to take his leave... momentarily. he still wants steven to see this person, so he'll take a detour when he's picked him up.

he stretches his wings to prepare to take off, but not before leaning down to tap the ground with his beak, as if to tell stahn to "stay here". he'll be back. ]

...I think he wants us to stay.

[stahn mutters quietly to dymlos, and despite the heaved sighs of annoyance from his sword, he can only give in. partially because he's a sword and has no real autonomy... and partially because it's just stahn's nature to be this way.

so stahn will stick around, nodding his head at skarmory as if to confirm that he'll hang around and wait for whatever is about to happen. he's at the ready anyway, should it really become some kind of threat.

(he gets the feeling that's not it, though.)]

[ and with that confirmation, skarmory will fly away to pick up his trainer. considering the speed he can reach in flight, it won't take long - reaching one end of the colony from the other doesn't take more than five minutes for him.

when he can be seen from the air again, a man in a suit can be seen riding on his back. he circles the area once before flying down to descend in front of stahn, hopping off of skarmory's back as it swoops down to the ground to dismount with practiced precision. the steel-type lands beside him as he rises from his crouched landing position, which is when he sees stahn.

his first reaction is one of surprise, because he recognizes this man. he has the same face as the two robots that he had helped another person fend off not long ago, when they were plaguing the colony. that had to mean that this was the original; the person that they modeled themselves after. interesting. ]

...Are you the person that spoke to Skarmory?

[majinken]

[well, that sure is a bit of a strange initial reaction, he thinks. but stahn will be stahn, so he's not going to question it too much—he doesn't quite realize this is someone who has met with his bots, and it doesn't quite occur to him that it's something that may have happened.]

Oh, you must be his owner! [he'll just assume that's the bird's name. how do pokemon work? he just doesn't knoq.] I was pretty surprised to see such a big bird out here like this, that's all. I've only been here for a couple of minutes.

[ thankfully, steven has enough tact to not say "i helped to pin your doppelgangers down while your friend killed them dead" right off the bat. he'll lead up to that later - for now, he'll play along with whatever this is. ]

I am. [ no one knows how pokemon work... it's like naming a dog "dog". but his reaction does get a small smile out of steven. ] I see. I do hope that he didn't disturb you, then - Skarmory has quite an eye for interesting people. You must have something unique about you.
