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. ]

Huh. He seemed like a cheerful guy to me.

[But Nico knew that some people frustrated you, no matter what else you felt for them. Maybe Drayton was like that for Kieren?]

Wait. So, did your Pokemon, er... you know, mate, and that's why there are eggs?

[ohwowzers]

[Kieran takes this opportunity to lean over Drayton's shoulder, still looking irritated even while holding the cute little pink noodle in his arms.]

Yeah, I'm cheerful when this bozo ain't bein' irresponsible and causin' messes like this! If he'd've kept a better eye on his Dragonite this wouldn'ta happened!

[breezily]

[ muttered from now out of frame from kieran's annoyed interjection-- ]

And your Dragonite was where during this, exactly...?

[refantasma]

[...Okay, he's getting flashbacks to his own crush on Percy.]

So. They mated and now you have grand-baby noodle dragons?

[ohwowzers]

That's not the point! My Dragonite's trained properly!

[Huff huff!]

Yeah, basically. Now we got a buncha Dratini that we gotta help take care of.

[breezily]

[ points to his own dragonite, who notices and points then to herself. she's not paying much attention to their squabbling. ]

You wanna go say that to her? That she's not trained properly? Hmm?

[ to nico; ]

Dratini aren't hard to raise as far as Dragon-types go, but without the usual items and stuff from home it's a bit different.

[refantasma]

I thought the males did the mating dance?

[Or was he thinking of birds? No, he remembers Percy saying something about male fish also doing mating dance-like things.]

[ohwowzers]

[Kieran is ready to refute Drayton's point, but then Nico speaks up as well, causing the shorter teen to sputter and look between the two.]

Wh-- Hey--!!

[He looks to his Dragonite, looking almost scandalized.]

Was it you who caused all this??

[His Dragonite lets out a little rumble, tilting his head. Looks like his trainer was acting silly again...]
