"...You stole this." People doing things for him was still foreign, and he still looked for a motive in people's actions towards him. And stealing something too? He hesitated, hand hovering over the paper. What was she after?
She gives a shrug and a smile as she waits. "Yeah, pretty much." Her face falls a little, her brow furrowing. "You don't have to take it. I just thought you might be interested." She feels awkward holding it out now, she moves to slowly let her hand drop. "It talked about the sun and stuff and I remembered you said you were looking for things like that."
He finally took it, slowly opening it and reading what it said. He had seen some things about this but it never hurt to have more information. He tucked it into his pocket quietly.
"Thank you." But he oculdn't help asking. "Why did you steal this? You could have shown it to me at the Tower."
"Thank you." But he oculdn't help asking. "Why did you steal this? You could have shown it to me at the Tower."
"Well, you know, you were pretty busy back at the tower." Because stealing means nothing to her. It's so minor in comparison to everything. "And then everyone was doing that dancing thing, and you looked so tired." Though seeing him dance had been the highlight of the whole thing for her. "And by then the bird showed up and everyone was wandering around. I was completely shot and I figured you felt even worse so I thought I'd just come see you today." And she'd wanted an excuse to see him.
He nodded. There was no denying any of that. He had danced almost non-stop to summon Ho-oh and nearly passed out after, dragging himself to the side before melting to the floor with Assumption.
"Is there anything else you wnated to show me?"
Robbie gave another low rumble at his side. He knew Walter was having trouble with Manaka being gone, and gently gave him another hug. Walter just let it happen, not really reacting to it this time.

Diana shakes her head. "No, just wanted to drop that off and... you know. Check in on you." She can't help but smile at Robbie giving him a hug. "Looks like Robbie's got you covered though."

"I'm fine." He was a bit confused as to why she would be checking up on him in the first place. She hadn't known about him missing Manaka until she'd come here.
But he didn't press that question forward. He would find out in time. Robbie meanwhile, nodded. He's got this more than covered.

"Okay." But you're not. At all. She just saw you. But she can't think of another reason to hang around. And she's just so tired.
Diana yawns and rubs her face. "Well, I better be going then." She gives Walter another smile. "I'll see you around, okay?"

[Diana has a big grin on her face when Walter answers the call.]
Walt! Are you ready for the cutest thing ever?
[She doesn't wait for his response, instead turning the camera to fix on a pair of (Kanto) Marowak with some chirping Cubone sat between them a few feet away, among the dry grass of what looks like a desert.]
How fucking adorable are those?

...Where are you?
[ In all his time in Johto, he had never seen a wild Cubone. And the only other Marowak he had seen had belonged to Jimmy Darling (it was also a Kanto variety Marowak). So he was surprised to see that Diana had found wild ones. Assumption had been drawing nearby and,
hearing Walter's shock, approached to peer at the Gear. ]

We're at the desert part.
[Diana turns the shot back to her for a moment. You can make out Jinx just behind her taking pictures with her own gear.]
They're so cute right? [She gives Assumption a little wave.] Hey, Assumption. Look what we found.
[She turns the camera back to Cubone, who are looking over now curiously.]

Desert part? There's no deserts in Johto.
[ What. Regardless, Assumption hops up and gasps. He's never seen another Cubone either! He calls out and waves his bone to them. ]

Sure, there is. You know? At the Safari Zone? They have all those different areas? Well, this is the desert part.
[The Marowak and Cubone hear Assumption and the children look up to their parents, who give a cautious call back.]

I've never been to the Safari Zone. [ He'd briefly heard of it in passing but hadn't made an effort to go out there. At his side Assumption is smiling to his fellow Bonekeepers and calls back tot hem politely. Hello! ]
Really? Huh... I figured you'd been most places...
[The view shifts a little as Diana moves closer and lowers the device to appear relaxed. The little family don't appear to see her as a threat.]
Well, it's really cool here. Lots of different areas made for Pokemon you don't usually see. You have to pay to come see them and can only catch them without a battle.
[The Marowak lift their bones in greeting to Assumption and the Cubone take this as an okay and shuffle towards the gear to get a better look at the darker Bonekeeper.]

You have to convince them to join you?
[ It's not as if he hasn't had Pokemon willingly join him before. But it was interesting that a place would demand that over traditional capture. Assumption wagged his tail and Walter let him handle the gear, as he spoke to his fellow kind ]
Hi! I'm Assumption!

Hi! I'm Assumption!
Yeah, pretty much. You get some balls that you can throw but no battling.
[There was something about rocks but, she didn't really get it. I mean, it almost seemed like you're supposed to throw them but that's just stupid.]
Hello!
[The Cubone peer at the screen and the boldest closes the gap to come right up to the gear.]
You shiny Marowak?

[ Walter hummed softly as Assumption eagerly spoke to his fellow Bone Pokemon. ]
No! I'm a Fire and Ghost type Marowak. I evolved this way because I had to protect my trainer from a very bad man who attacked him. Where are you? I've never seen another Pokemon like me in the wild...

Fire and Ghost? Those are funny types!
A bad man?
Attacked him!?
Oh no!
What do you mean?
Where are we?
We're home!

We're home!
A Really Bad Man named Henry Townshend! [ Every pokemon must be warned of the bad Receiver of Wisdom! ]
Where's home? When I was little, I was with my mom but then she died...and I was given to Walter. And I've been with him ever since.

[The Cubones look at each other and whisper among themselves. Who was that?]
Here's home!
[They spread their tiny arms and cheer a little before gasping in horror.]
Your mommy died! Oh no!
That's horrible!
What happened?
Who's Walter?

Who's Walter?
She was killed by a bad person...and this is Walter! [ He leaned on Walter and tilted the Gear to show him. Walter watched the Cubones quietly, as Assumption happily chattered on. ]
He's my trainer! He helped look after me when I was sad and taught me how to be strong. So when Henry tried to hurt him, I protected him. And then I evolved!

Killed!
[The Cubone look horrified and all huddle together.]
That's your trainer?
He's big!
That all sounds super scary!

It was! And he is! [ Assumption nodded. It had been scary! But now...well, he was a confident, happy Marowak. Thanks to Walter! ]
But it's all good now. He looks after me, and I look after him. We're really strong together! When I was small, he used to carry me around!

Are you super strong?
Do you have to fight people?
Why did that make you Fire?
