3_butterflies[Fluttershy is still holed up in her room at Goldenrod, but at least she's somewhat making an effort to talk to people now, if the turning on of her Pokegear is any indication. Her red eyes show signs of past tears, but she's trying to be strong now.]
... I'm sorry for bothering you, but... some friends of mine are gone... I know that happens a lot, ponies - I mean, people leaving... and sometimes they come back, but don't remember what happened here... So... so...
[She gulps, and twists the butterfly ring on her finger.]
... If Applejack does come back... If she doesn't remember her time here... Then... please don't tell her about... us being... together. I-It wouldn't be fair to her.

... but this girl -- pony, since knows better who Applejack hanged out with -- lost someone more than that.]
... Sorry.
If she comes back, I'm not gonna tell her anything, you've got my word.

Date: 2012-03-11 07:31 pm (UTC)Thank you... I appreciate that.

Date: 2012-03-11 07:40 pm (UTC)[... Awkward silence. What else can he do for her...]
... You're gonna be okay?
[Not that he even knows her or can offer anything other than Moral Support From Miles Away (TM), but it's... something.]

Date: 2012-03-11 07:43 pm (UTC)Yes... I'll be all right eventually... I do have one friend left...

Date: 2012-03-11 07:57 pm (UTC)[He stops abruptly, realizing that's probably the least considerate comment he's made in a while (and he tends to make some of those). Granted, he remembers lending Applejack a hand in transporting quite a number of her pony friends, but he hasn't been keeping an eye on whether they were still around, so it's entirely possible they're... not...
And reminding the girl of that probably wasn't a smart idea, either. Way to go, genius!]
--Er. Still, that's... good. That you have someone with you, I mean.

Date: 2012-03-11 07:59 pm (UTC)We're staying together, as much as we can...

Date: 2012-03-11 10:53 pm (UTC)He tries to make up for his previous stupidity by offering her a reassuring smile.]
Cool! Glad to hear that; it would suck if you were left all alone.
[... how the hell is that 'reassuring', Crow.]

Date: 2012-03-11 10:56 pm (UTC)I've been all alone here before... I guess I could go through that again...
[video]
Date: 2012-03-11 11:25 pm (UTC)... That ain't true. You can't really be all alone here.
[He grins cheerfully.]
Not with all those people from different worlds and Pokémon around!
[video]
Date: 2012-03-11 11:27 pm (UTC)... I do care about my Pokemon...
[video]
Date: 2012-03-12 01:02 am (UTC)And they care 'bout ya, I bet!

Date: 2012-03-12 01:05 am (UTC)[video]
Date: 2012-03-12 01:14 am (UTC)[His expression turns a little more gentle now.]
... So you've gotta be strong now, y'know? For your friend, your Pokémon and yourself. Not saying 's gonna be easy or stop hurting all of sudden, but-- everything will be fine eventually, so try to keep your head up, 'kay?

Date: 2012-03-12 01:18 am (UTC)I'll try my best...
