[Al pulls back a little and manages a wobbly sort of smile up at Hughes, sniffling again and rubbing at his eyes.] Y-yeah, Brother managed to fix me. And we stopped the woman that was orchestrating all those wars, too.

[Al's Luxio nudges his head up under Al's arm with a worried whine, and he pets his head reassuringly.] I'm fine, Eddie, I promise.

[Without missing a beat, Maes picks up the conversation.

You'd think he was just catching up with someone after only a week or so had passed - rather than the actual circumstances at hand.]

That's good! I'm glad to hear it.

Sure sounds like I missed out on a lot though, huh? You two sound like you've been kept pretty busy!

Did he wind up needing the Philosopher's Stone after all? I know that that was a problem for him before, when he found out how it was made..

[armoredsoul]

[Al frowns a little, glancing to the side.] ...yes and no. We...it's a really long story. A lot happened after you were gone.

[father_of_the_year]

[He nods.

It looks like this is one of those things where changing the topic might be for the better.]

Well, at least things seem pretty nice here?

[A gentle smile. Hey, he's making the best of things, right?]

[armoredsoul]

[Al eagerly latches onto that change in topic, and nods.] It is! It can get weird at times, like how it literally was raining cats and dogs for two days, but it's not that bad overall.

[father_of_the_year]

[His brows knit together with concern as the peculiar weather information digests. Along with momentarily pondering what the appropriate response to that is.]

...Literally raining cats and dogs?

Was anyone hurt?

[armoredsoul]

Nothing really serious that I heard of. Even the Pokemon were okay after the fall--one of them even fell right onto Brother, and other than his pride being squashed they were both totally fine!

[father_of_the_year]

[Okay, he kind of wants to chuckle at that, but he manages to resist the urge to do so but does offer a smile.]

It's good that there weren't any injuries, then. I'd think that falling from that kind of distance, anything with a reasonable weight could actually get hurt or hurt something else. So, the fact that there weren't any serious injuries is good to hear.

[And then there's a beat.]

..Ed's here too?

[armoredsoul]

He is! Well, he's around somewhere. I was still packing up the camp when he went haring off, and then I got lost trying to catch up to him. [SIGH. Why can't Ed just stay still for five minutes?]

Hughes is such a dad at heart. He really is. /)(\

[father_of_the_year]

[He chuckles.]

Sounds like he hasn't changed a bit.

I'm sure he'll turn up sooner or later, but I'd be glad to keep you company until he does. I don't really have any plans, sooooo...

[And there is the most casual of casual shrugs.]
