see, all is well

Yeah, of course. Just make sure he knows that I like him more than Archie does.

[ Just remember to be on Team Jill, Nanu.

She is pretty sure they're very different relationships, but for someone who is known to consider most interactions a hassle? It's definitely an astute observation. ]

Ha, cute. [ She makes a sound and hums, like she's genuinely considering this. ] I don't actually know. I've never had this happen before. Thoughts or dreams or anything, not to my knowledge. Maybe it's because I thought of you? Why wouldn't I, considering? ...but I'll take you up on that offer, of course.

I'm not getting into this. You two fight for his affection on your own merits.

[Telling his trainer to help is cheating. No hitting below the belt, no weapons, Final Destination only.]

So long as you don't start sending me every scenario you get about my team, it's fine. Just don't tell the others he's your favorite. They'll start their own competition.

[torsion]

You're not even going to back me up? Well, then, I guess I'll take that as an endorsement for him.

[ It's too late, Jill's calling him out. ]

Hey, I haven't done it before. [ That suggests she's daydreamed a little about them before. Laying against Honchkrow or carrying Persian around... you know, like one does. ] You're only giving me ideas.

[ulaulakahuna]

Nice try. The day I endorse him is the day he sufficiently bribes me.

[Or on his deathbed, and even that's iffy.]

Listen, if you make my life hell because Sableye and Krookodile are trying to one-up each other, I will revoke your visitation rights.

Color me curious: what would that take? Baseline or ballpark.

[ Perhaps a little of column a and a little of column b (or all of each) would be adequate! ]

As cute as I'm sure that would be, I get the feeling no one wins if that were to happen. You talking about this from experience, by the way?

[ulaulakahuna]

Now that's no fair. Your baseline is already at a higher starting point than his.

[Mutual respect? +100 points. Trying to throw him in a fountain? -500]

With different pokémon. I don't let it happen within my team because I know them too well.

[torsion]

You know, when I think about "fairness," I don't exactly think of you.

[ But she laughs, at least. She does actually think pretty highly of him. ]

Of course you do. I figure they'd be pretty awful if they were given the opportunity to be. They have those kind of personalities...

[ulaulakahuna]

Smart call. [He knew he liked Jill for a reason!] And that extends to my team, too. Dark-types are the antithesis of "fair".

[...]

Unless they're getting spoiled. Then they make damn sure they get their fair share.
