[Hunting isn't the best it's ever been, lately. As such, Moro is breaching her usual pact to stay out of the village and entering to see if she can get some meat for herself.

Hey, humans come into the forest for lumber and food all the time. It's her turn.

She finds the butcher's, grumpily demanding them for meat.]

let's try this again

[antlioncyclone]

[...wow he had just been talking to Silver about you. HI WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

Heading over towards you. You on your way in or out?]

[biteoffherhead]

[That would be in. Sort of. She's sitting and growling at the store as they try and pick out a suitably large portion of meat for her.]

[antlioncyclone]

[...what a wonderful first impression.

Mewtwo makes a little rasping murmur, attempting to signal his presence as he walks to a respectful distance from the giant white wolf.]

[biteoffherhead]

[She's hungry, man. But she does stop her growling once she notices him.]

...

[Familiar.]

[antlioncyclone]

[He stops, standing on his toes at his full height, and bows his head with his eyes closed.]

Greetings, guardian Moro.

[biteoffherhead]

You know of me. What manner of beast are you?

[antlioncyclone]

I am a Pokemon called Mewtwo. Silver is a friend of mine, the ally of an ally.

[biteoffherhead]

Ally?

[Moro chuckles, smirking.]

That is a hasty assumption. I am merely teaching the boy.

[antlioncyclone]

He has fought beside a human that I have chosen as my trainer. He is reliable in intention...but I suppose you don't need to hear that from me.

I've wanted to meet you for some time, even before speaking with Silver.

[biteoffherhead]

Better here than the forest. The game has moved some distance.

[She might've gone after you before giving up and asking for human help.]

And what do you wish of me, little one?

[It's an... endearing term, at least.]

[antlioncyclone]

[....little one

little one

oh this was not how he was expecting this to go]

Just to meet and talk. I am a wild Pokemon, one that lends its power to a very few humans when we have goals in common, but still one whose home is in the wilderness. You are a guardian of the wild world, like many of the Pokemon known as Legendary in my own world.

[biteoffherhead]

[You are physically smaller and she is sure you are younger. Little one.]

In this land, I have grown soft and gentle. Perhaps I am simply getting too old and weak.

In my home, I am the god of the mountain. I protect it from humans, and devour those who cut the trees.

[antlioncyclone]

[goddammit]

Luceti changes everyone.

[...]

I am sorry that you have those kinds of humans to deal with.

[biteoffherhead]

"Those kind"...

[A bitter, disgusted, and just... tired chuckle. There's such a sense of defeat in that simple little laugh.]

There is no such distinction. The difference between humans and how they express their nature is the amount of power they wield.

[antlioncyclone]

I do not believe that.

[...headshake.]

But it may be a difference between our worlds - and I didn't come to start an argument.

[tsuntrader]

[...If he stifles a snicker will you still bite him]

[biteoffherhead]

What did you wish to learn from me?

[biteoffherhead]

[No... no. She likes you just enough to instead shoot you a hateful glare and snarl.]

[tsuntrader]

[Okay, okay, he's all properly tensed up and sorry for being disrespectful. Jeez.] Are you having a hard time finding meat?

[biteoffherhead]

The game has moved towards the mountains.

[To elude her, namely.]

But San has returned.

[And she is not going anywhere without her daughter.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Oh. Well. ...Wait-] She can't go with you?

[biteoffherhead]

The Malnosso only recently released her.

[tsuntrader]

[...She was- ...Yeah, that effectively gets Silver to shut up. And maybe even recoil, just a little.]

[biteoffherhead]

I would pursue the game, but San does not need to be forced from the den.

[Aww Moro you're a good mama.]

[tsuntrader]

[Nodding. Moro's a good mom. ...Good.] How much food do you go through in a day, anyway?
