He was glad to hear that she would be fine with a little bit of a mess. That way, he could get away without doing his usual deep clean of the area. Not that he wouldn't be doing any cleaning at all. He just wouldn't spend the next week scrubbing every surface in his den. ->

It was a small surprised to hear that Hoenn settled for just a ban and that she actually obeyed it. It felt like something she would have overlooked for the sake of returning whenever she pleased. It was a large nation with a lot of water. He wouldn't be surprised if she hid out there. ->

He nodded as she explained the lack of contact she had with the other members of Team Aqua. While he personally had no love for them, he'd be respectful and let go of his personal opinion regarding their actions. He could relate to losing contact with someone you cared for. ->

Her apology would make future questioning go a lot easier. His mood brightened a little, walking a little faster to show her to one of the guest rooms in his den. "It's been a while since anyone has lived in this one, but I make an effort to keep them clean whenever I have free time." ->

He lightly strokes his chin while she gives her guesses. The second felt like it was more likely than the first. Given his own connection to Groudon and the influence the legendary's scales had on him and his family to this day. "I'm not sure I could study it." ->

(Happy new years. I'm still around. Work has been hectic)

Once he had found that spot behind her ears, he'd focus on scratching that spot. He did what he could to fully hammer down the slight bit of anger he felt once he noticed her retreat slightly. "It's okay to bring these things up. I'm not mad at you." ->

Her attitude toward the status of his immediate and extended family left a lot to be desired. Although the mention of a grandmother and Kantoan clan did inform him that she wasn't the average Charizard. "If it's a matriarch, you must be from Paldea." ->

He would have been concerned if she had enough children to outnumber a local ecosystem in such a short time. It was good to hear that they were doing just fine, though. "Well, they are hybrids. Their base instincts being different would make a lot of sense." ->

"Every so often, I feel like I really am an old man who's fallen behind the times." "... if you're only as old as you feel then... hmmm."

Flexing his wings and exhaling a small ball of fire. The king is awake, and the return of winter means that countless others will be taking refuge in his territory. Maybe he should start some sort of winter festival...

He never fully understood the shedding part. It wasn't something he had ever heard happening to a Gyrados before. He wasn't sure if he could ask about it. It seemed too personal. "I can understand that much. It's a reasonable response to humans overstepping their bounds." ->

With his natural sensitivity to seismic activity, the rumble from her landing was enough to get him to step up to the entrance of his den. "Unfortunately, no, I haven't burnt out just yet." He replied to her comment, if it weren't for his dry tone, it might have come off as a joke. ->

It was always nice to meet a member of the same species, especially when it wasn't a violent meeting. His father and grandfather were closer to the descendants of his species. Ardere often wished for a similar relationship. His den was open to anyone who cared to seek him out.

"The comment in general. You used to treat me like an annoyance. Although, you wouldn't have been alone in that line of thought." "As for the eggs. We'll have to see about that. Some time in the future."

"𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐲."

It would probably take him a while to get used to the fact that even his smallest of whims were being read by her. Although any of his more minor thoughts were quickly washed away once the flooded areas of his island were brought up. Ardere was not an angry person. At least he tried not to be. ->

He is, but he's more surprised to hear about her willingness to have eggs with him. "I wasn't expecting that."

He'd be more than glad to take a few pointers. He's never shared a mental bond like this before. Nothing that wasn't purely surface level telepathy before. He smiled from her kisses while he carried her off into his kitchen. "There are a number of kids who live in the valley. ->

As with all dragons, he also has a horde. His is just mostly filled with books by now. Gems become boring after a couple hundred years or so. In the king's eyes. Literature never seems to get old.

The valley is more dangerous at this time of year. Many pokemon are moving closer to keep warm, which is causing a number of territorial disputes. Ardere's den is no exception.

He's writing down information about new species of flower that's growing in the area.

With her answer, the list of ingredients would float up to the front of his mind. Along with a small bowl of berries. He wasn't as good at hiding his thoughts from her. Not that he was really trying to. "Honey cakes it is." The bowl of fruit might be meant to be a surprise. ->

"Is that so? I'll try and keep that in mind. I only had candy available due to the holiday." He'd say with a small nod. "Any particular preferences? Or would you like for it to be a complete surprise?"

"I only have chocolate available, I'm still learning how to make other things." He explained while handing over a small parcel of homemade chocolates.

He is going to be handing out homemade chocolates tonight. Assuming anyone does manage to make the trip into the valley.

I took Hurt and shot Comfort in the head

He's making pancakes. Based on how high the stack has grown, the stress has gotten to him.

"I've always had a good amount of fertile soil available, I just didn't use it for more than some hard vegetables." He explained while he allowed her to reestablish that connection. It no longer felt intrusive to him by now. ->

Ok when I meant slow burn I meant like a pot roast that's on med low and stuck in a time machine

Hearing that this individual couldn't be considered human was concerning. He heard about humans gaining supernatural abilities before and even met a few during his long life. Knowing there was a violent one on the loose didn't fill him with any sort of confidence. ->

That was miles more concerning to hear about than anything he might have expected. "I wasn't aware that Necrozma has followers. It's..." He went silent for a time, deciding to try and comfort her with some soft pats. ->

"What I meant to say was, I knew we would meet again. So I didn't worry about something happening..." She was right about her apparent change in mind worrying him. His concern was visibe. "Did something happen? Are you alright?"

(I caved and transfered him over here too)

The dragon gently lifts Mai up in his arms to make it easier for him to hug her. "You're allowed to come and go as you please. I wasn't too worried, but I am happy to see that you're well." He answered.

(Seeing Necrozma makes me miss the Necrozma I have I might... Move him here too I'll think about it)

It wouldn't be very pleasant of a visit if that happened.

Just to throw out more information.
