Need to talk privately with Cilan? Send him a message via the crystal or carrier pigeon? Want to meet with him without posting a log for it? Here's the place to do it!
I, uhhhh- [ Hold on, give him a second as his voice dies to nothing but a dull sensation of a busy mind, filling the line until there's an abrupt shock-like surprise.
........ ]
--a friend went home and left his porrings can I bring them over! [ Sorry, hi, gotta talk fast. ]
[ And there Red goes. Please don't be concerned, this is only the beginning.
Just wait until you come back to a messy home with slimy trail marks everywhere, one porring hiding under the kitchen table in a foul mood while two are on the couch, one looking appearing to be napping and the other miserable and drooping everywhere.
Oh, but before all that: Be mindful not to trip over the six foot something tall pike sitting by the entrance. It's huge. That dude in the picture is 5'11" and that weapon is bigger, what even.
...and in Red's defence, he's attempting to clear up by picking up the cutlery that's been thrown around in every part of the open space. (Don't ask). ]
[ Red's head whips, and he's about to say something until gets cut off when the pink blob under the table decides to welcome the new face by extending out its blubber to grab and wrap around a chair leg, yanking it with enough force to make it topple over and crash to the ground. ]
Xing! [ BLUB BLUB BLUB NOISES YOU AIN'T HIS DAD, HE'S GOING TO SULK MORE IN THE SHADOWS.
Just. Let Red sigh. ]
...They're still upset about Lu Meng leaving.
[ The one faking sleep makes a sound resembling a grumble. He's not being a brat about this like some porrings. ]
I bought some fruit, but... [ He looks over to the table where a punnet of strawberries sit on top, but the more telling are the few that sit on the couch half-nibbled at, and one against a kitchen cabinet on the floor, unloved. ]
Should we've stayed at Lu Meng's for a few days? I've never taken a pokémon like this before.
Perhaps, but... they're here now, so we'll simply have to do our best to adjust to this new taste.
[And now, Cilan's going to step over this lance proper, heading towards the kitchen.]
There's a spare room we can keep Lu Meng's lance in for the time being: I'll even prop the door open so that the porrings can also claim the room as their own, if they wish. Otherwise... can you bring me a mop from the hall closet? I'm going to see what we have available here to prepare dinner for us.
Alright- [ There's a few things not near him that he'd like to pick up, but he'll stand with what he has, putting them onto the table and stepping away from it entirely. The porrings, for now, appear fine with staying where they are, which is good because Red can get that mop as asked without any trouble. ]
I can go out and buy anything you want. [ A pause, and then suddenly a more mental thought: ] I can get something for them from Lu Meng's place too. I still have the key to get in.
I'll go to a pet shop and ask them if they know what porrings like! [ Did you want this mop, Cilan? He's bringing it to the kitchen area, setting it somewhere it won't just drop. ] If I put the weapon away and left, would you be okay staying with them? I'll be quick!
Of course. [And here, Cilan places a hand on his own chest confidently.] I am an A-class Pokemon Connoisseur after all: even if they might not be Pokemon, I'm sure I'll be able to take care of them perfectly until your return.
Thanks Cilan! You're the best! [ Andddd you know what he is going to go and do the weapon part now, calling out from the hallway: ] Xing's the one under the table and the other two are Tong and Xiong!
[ Now is the time to put that weapon away.
...Except, actually, Red appears to have another thing he really needs to say, and he needs to say it at the doorway to boot, the weapon tilted in with a way in his arms that would block him from entering if he tried to-- ]
Oh yeah, and I told you all about Cilan already! He's letting us all stay with him [ and letting Red pay him to stay with him ], so be good to him!

Sure, Red. What is it?

[And once he offers the mental approval, he speaks aloud again.]
I think we should be fine on groceries, unless you want to pick up more fruit that they might like the taste of as well.
