.004 | video | Not his brother's keeper

[in_praetego]

[ He's going to keep this one short and sweet. Again, Airi's handling the camera, thus the wobbliness of the film but it's currently focused on a poochyena taking a snooze at the foot of Yukio's bed before turning up to her trainer. ]

For those who weren't aware, it looks like my brother, Rin Okumura isn't here anymore.

[ He really didn't know what else to say. Part of him is relieved Rin is home but part of him blames himself for not taking better care of him... keeping a better eye on him.

He figures it's up to him to let his brother's friends know. ]

If... there were any debts he owed any of you, please let me take responsibility.

[ And there's partially blaming himself that he couldn't protect his brother better here. ]

I know he had a few friends here and I figured they'd want to know.

[ A beat. ]

Did... he challenge you to a pokemon match?

[That's always a thing. Thinking back and wondering about all of those "what ifs".]

He did a while ago! Now I won't have that rematch to look forward to.

It probably wouldn't mean the same if I challenged you using his pokemon.

[ Must be a manly rival thing. ]

If he ever comes back, I'll make sure to let him know.

Yep, you'd be right about that! Your battling style and strategies is probably different from Rin's.

[...It is. When you put two competitive guys together...]

And thanks! [He almost asks if Yukio's okay, but almost reconsider it.] Does that mean you have some of his Pokemon with you?

[in_praetego]

It would be.

[ Ah, the throes of manly rivals. That question though, he'll have Airi flip the screen over to show Poochy sleeping near the window. ]

Yeah, they're here. Poochy's here. His nuzleaf and his eevee are here too.

[Atsuro smiles when he see Poochy.]

I know Poochy and his Nuzleak, so I'm glad to see them doing fine. But I didn't know he picked up an Eevee.

[ He can't help but reach over to ruffle Poochy between the ears. ]

He and Shiva are getting along pretty well. As for his Eevee, Maka gave us each an Eevee for our birthday. I'm not sure if my brother named it yet.

[babel_hacker]

That explains it.

[Pokemon gifts is pretty high up there on the list of "most likely to get as a present".]

You can always ask. If the Eevee doesn't have a name yet, you can probably give them one yourself.

[in_praetego]

That's probably what I'll end up doing.

[ There's a tiny smile though. ]

If and when my brother comes back, I'll be sure to let you know.

[He smiles back.]

Thanks! And I'll do the same for you, in case I got to him first.
