Subject: when a mommy dragonite and a daddy dragonite love each other very much...
Warnings: nnnone?

[ good afternoon esco network!! today's video brings youuu...


and then drayton's arm coming into view to scoop this adorable noodle up and focus the camera on his face! which also brings into view the... three other dratinis draped around both himself...

and a very very unimpressed-looking kieran in the background. the dratini kieran is carrying is a cute shade of pink compared to its grey-blue siblings. ]

What's up! Man, we've had a fun couple of days. Turns out that whole Dragon's Gale thing doesn't mess around, even if the dragons aren't locals.

[ there is a slight strain in his cheery tone that might be attributed to the menacing dark aura kieran is giving off behind him while he says all this. ]

Long story short, we've ended up with this bunch'a baby Dratinis on our hands. They're cute as heck, and pretty well-behaved, but any Dragon-type that's gonna spend some time around humans should have some socialising. So we're givin' everyone a rare, excluuusive opportunity to interact with these adorable lil' guys while we, uh, decide what to do with 'em.

[ the dratini he'd picked up at the start makes a pleased trilling noise, one matched by the pink one kieran is holding. drayton smiles, still slightly strained, and lowers the camera so he's just out of frame and begins talking offscreen in hushed, but still audible tones. ]

Man, c'mon, at least say somethin'!

("Say somethin'?? This is your fault anyway! Why should I say anythin'??")

Again, how is this my-- ahh, hold on.

[ the feed ends with a clatter. ]

[Okay so after a protracted argument of puppy eyes and pleading has failed--]

Are those--pokemon? What will you do with all of them?

[Do they need a home. With a lagoon. Just asking for a friend.]

[ohwowzers]

[Kieran sticks his head over Drayton's shoulder, a frown heavy on his face as he sends a Look at Drayton]

Yeah, they're Pokemon. Baby Pokemon. Cause someone wasn't watchin' his Dragonite properly!

[fractales]

Do you two need help?

[This also answered one question he had been pondering.]

video

[breezily]

[ exasperated; ]

I mean, probably. A few baby Dratinis would be no problem back home, but here's a little more difficult.

[fractales]

You can bring them by Cosmo Conservatory- we do have a place they can enjoy some water, and meet a few of the more sociable animals.

[Then, what was more on his mind than that—]

Along with looking them over, they may very well be the first pokémon born here. I had wondered if it were possible, but unable to see given those of my team do not breed.

[seasaltkeys]

Are they...dragons?

How many are there?

[breezily]

Yeah, Dratinis. There's four of 'em.

Where'd those noodle dragons come from? Is Kieran okay? Why was that one pink?

video

[breezily]

[ ticking off on his fingers. ]

They're from eggs. He's fine, just mad - dunno why, they're his eggs just as much my eggs. It's pink because it's a shiny! Lucky us, they're really, really rare.

un; perfpilot, video

[sos_pilot]

Oh my gooooosh! Wookit those widdle baby noodles!

[ Della's already pretty susceptible to babies in general, but yeah, let's face it, them some cute mons. ]

I would literally do anything for a chance to help you guys with these. I would rip out my own kidney.

[ohwowzers]

[Eventually, Kieran holds up his own shellphone to reply to a few of these messages, while having one the pink noodle around his neck.]

Y-You don't gotta go that far, Miss Della! Just playin' with 'em is good enough!

text; following kieran's response

[breezily]

[ !!!!! ]

My word - aren't your little friends quite charming! To think, dragons were such a strange occurance at home... what a fine opportunity this is.

Did you say they are Dratinis? Are these creatures from your world, young man...?

[breezily]

[ help that icon dont stab the noodles cyrus

drayton's waving casually despite the Aura that kieran continues to exude in the background. the dratini in his arms makes a little noise of hello. ]

Dragon-types are my specialty, so I deal with 'em all the time. These guys are perfect for people just learnin' about dragons now.

[ at the question, he does look a little sheepish. ]

Well, uh, these guys were born here, but they're originally from my world, yeah.

[angellust]

[he's been planning on visiting both Drayton and Kieran and now HE GOTTA]

Awww! They're like little wiggly noodles!

[he's not human, hopefully he doesn't scare those little guys. anyway, hello, again]

video

[breezily]

[ they live in the same place it's easy to visit them both anyway!!

the dragon noodles seem entirely unbothered by this fluffy bug man. ]

Heh, yeah. They're defs wiggly. [ he's trying to hold three at once, which is going as you'd expect. ] But super cute.

[brokenlight]

If you guys need help watching them, I don't mind helping out!

[Also, they...look cute. Ventus can't help but look at the little noodle dragosn in awe.]

video; un: ohwowzers

[ohwowzers]

[Now that Kieran's got his own shellphone out, he replies to Ventus on his own. The little pink Dratini is around his neck as well.]

Thanks, Ven. We could use some help with 'em gettin' used to humans for sure.

Action

[ohwowzers]

[Once that feed is ended, Kieran wastes no time in laying into Drayton some more.]

Who's the one who didn't keep a close eye on their Dragonite, huh?? If you'd've kept 'er in check and away from my Dragonite, this wouldn'ta happened!!

[breezily]

[ raises both eyebrows at him. ]

They're allowed to hang out if they want. If you were so worried, why wasn't yours bein' [ airquotes ] "kept in check"?
