[ rich jail: do not pass go, do not collect $200 because you probably own way more than that anyway

but... oddly, that does make him feel a little better about all of this. they're both feeling relieved, and he's actually finding it easier to... relate to adrien? is that what's happening here? ]

So we have more in common than I initially thought. [ huh. that idea has his smile becoming a little more genuine. ] And I am a man of my word. I did say I would help in any way that I could, didn't I?

[ in steven-talk, that's a yes. ]

[ makes it rain all the way to the cell

but god someone said yes in his life what is this.

it's one of those odd moments where adrien feels entirely comfortable after having made a request, which he admits is. probably kind of ridiculous. steven said yes, and— well, airing out his little bits of hesitation didn't make him feel worse, but better. things in common, huh.

and so adrien relaxes a tad, taking a sip of tea. ]

Yeah, you did. [ judging from his tone of voice, it means a lot. ] So, we could do that... after? I kind of want to hear more about Beldum, and... general stuff.

[ in adrien-talk, that's "i just want to talk is that fine for right now". ]

[ the thought of it does make him feel a little uneasy about the possible disastrous outcome, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad with adrien. it goes unsaid for him, but he'd be fairly comfortable messing up if it was with him, too. ]

Of course - we'll talk about it in detail later. It's been far too long since I've had tea with good company.

[ he'll take a sip of his own tea, but it's hard to miss the smile playing on his lips just a little more.

MEANWHILE... beldum has found plagg behind the couch, most likely resulting in a very one-sided conversation. but it's popping up from there upon hearing its name, floating over to adrien. you have a friend that floats just like it does, adrien! ]

... Me too.

[ unexpected emotions....

it's been awhile since adrien's had company in these kinds of home settings period, but he doesn't mention that. there's something ... well, nice, in the obvious signs that steven is okay with adrien being there — which were signs admittedly absent from some of the other rich older people not currently present.

it's also a comfort given the entire cerealia situation which is still largely a giant question mark.

when beldum floats on over again, the thought that the pokémon may have seen plagg does cross adrien's mind (as for what that conversation consisted of, it was mostly plagg trying to coax the beldum to sneak him tarts while attempting to understand what it was even saying), which makes his eyes trail to plagg's hiding place, right before his focus goes right on the pokémon. ]

Hey, speaking of... [ with a friendly smile-- ] Joining in?

[ as distant as he can be from people at times, there are people in cerealia that he's found that have resonated with him. and while he's resolved himself to protect everyone in the colony when things go wrong, he's keeping a closer eye out for some others; with how they've clicked, adrien is certainly one of them.

he reflects on that silently as he watches beldum play with him. ]

So you wanted to hear more about Beldum. [ he'll take another sip of tea, then set his cup down. ] Where should I start?

[ where should he start, honestly. adrien's chat noir, so it's probably fitting he's about as curious as a cat even with his respect for other people's boundaries. tell him not to ask and he won't, give him the opportunity and you bet he's going to get as much as he can.

so is beldum just slowly going to grow more arms (cool), is it going to grow into a different color metagross or does the coloring just come with growth or when's the psychic ability settle in or can it do that right now but in the end his obvious pondering stops with— ]

The beginning probably works. [ that makes the most sense. ] Where'd you find Beldum? And maybe the rest of your team... [ ... ] Is that asking too much?

[ he's just so

interested okay. ]

Not at all. [ hell naw, adrien. he'll school you on their life story. ] Well, there isn't much history between Beldum and I - it was born not too long before we arrived here.

[ he doesn't mention that it was intended to be given to someone else as a gift, nor does he mention the fact that it hatched from an egg - even he knows that pokemon biology is its own can of worms for discussion. ]

But as for the rest of my team... we've all been together for years. In particular, Metagross has been with me since we were both young.
