I’d never seen Petra so lost for words!

I won’t be competing. I have to speak to the administrators. It’s, ah, sort of family business.

You ought to be resting! I’ll come to you. Besides I can hardly read any street signs. 🥲 I’m somewhere near Sushi High Roller.

Are you still admitted? We can trade in-person. I’ve come to visit the SBC.

I’m not surprised but I am concerned! Which hospital? Can I send you anything?

In hospital? From the Pinsir?!

He is quite cute. I will send you Held Item local fruits via TRADE. Please catch a low-level Pokémon that I can release into the wild.

Is he an Alpha? Have you named him? Oh, this is so exciting!!

Ah!!!! Breathtaking! And such a large specimen!

Beginning with Bug-types? That’s bold!

For longtime supporter @aquamac.bsky.social, thank you for being here!

[TXT] I LOVE YOU

I value formality when it’s appropriate. We’re newly acquainted. And enjoyably, I hope. :-)

Have you traveled to Galar much? I have to admit I haven’t ever left my home region.

[TXT] Damn it all. Summer?

No, sir, both sides of my family are about as old-Hoenn as it gets. But Glacia did have a certain European grace about her… or so I was told before I replaced her. Are you still in Galar now?

O-K, I’ll meet you up there.

Karen! You’re a breath of fresh air. How’s my outfit? [twirling in a circle]

[TXT]Damnit damnit damnit
[TXT] Do you have any time in the near future for a trip to Lumiose City ?

She can’t come home until their, um, messy breakup, I assume.

Pride will be the death of us all. When you recover from ego death I will greet you at home.

I’ve always looked up to you. I had no idea that…

Well. You’re not asking me for anything. I’m asking you. Don’t forget what I said. Or who you come from.
The Dragon Lord is our first and greatest master.

You… really are locked up from the inside.

Come home when you wake up from this delusion. Once a Dragon, always a Dragon. Meteor Falls waits in painful anticipation. I see it now.

@petra-fied.bsky.social [TXT] What is the ’SBC’?
[TXT] Defanging Draconids!

What weight does the heart have if its strengthening vows can be cast aside so frivolously? What use??

Why would you ever make a bargain to give up your personhood? Your *people*hood? I don’t understand.

Your ‘oath’ is pennies compared to the debt that we owe the Dragon Lord. Your jail cell is locked from the inside.

“Bicameral-minded morons” is harsh but I‘m horrified at the idea that anyone on this Earth would be so arrogant as to convince a Draconid she is not a Draconid…!!!

Not allowed to roar? That’s absurd. You sound like you’re bound with chains. Anyone who’d dare to deny you your birthright is a fool. Leave these bicameral-minded morons and come home.

Not anymore?! This is your blood! *Our* blood! You can’t lose your ancestry so easily!

Are you a Draconid?

CORRECT.

What is it? Anything! I’m desperate!
