Room 029 [Video/Action for Mohogany] Backdated to the 5th

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[A road-worn face greets the network. Behind him is a clean Pokemon Center that contrasts harshly with how trashed the poor guy is. Covered in dirt and leaves and bite marks and various other stains from the wonders of nature, Henry looks about 110% done with the world.]

[His usual shyness is nowhere to be seen and his voice is hoarse]</sub>

The glitching has finally stopped. We're finally out of the woods. I talked to a world famous psychic and even she doesn't know what's going on with how weird this place is. Nobody ever dies. If this was the real world somebody would have already been eaten by a bear or something.

I feel like my old gameboy after my mom washed it by mistake. Just...checking in. When I get back to the hotel, I'm sleeping for a week. In a bed.

France won't get here for a few days, when did Heather say she would?

And I'd have to wait in here until they finished healing my Pokemon anyway.

[He shifts to be leaning his elbows on his knees, back curved forward. He never can sit still, not even when he's this tired. He gives Henry a weaker than usual half-grin, nudging him with one elbow.]

We didn't die because we're good at surviving. You should sleep. No mutant Bidoofs in here.

Heather should be here today, I talked to her after she got her last badge. They were going to take the train that night and then fly over.

_{[He had to admit that it felt pretty nice having people who would cross AN ENTIRE COUNTRY to come and get him.]}

[He nods.]

France has to come through those ice caves, he doesn't have Fly.

...how long are you guys going to stay in town?

[He won't say it outright, but what he means is please don't leave me here alone]

I don't know...It's kind of a long trip back. I don't think we'd fly straight back to...well I don't know.

I don't think we're going to be going back to Saffron any time soon. Maybe you could stay in the hotel with us.

[He can't help but look relieved.]

I can get my own room...there's what, three of you guys? Four might be a bit much.

[On the same floor, though? Yes. Close by, if he can manage it.]

[...a traumatized Envy is somewhat clingier than your average Envy.]

I guess you're right. I'll make sure we don't leave before you have somebody.

_{[He could always lay on the ground like cats do when you try to walk them. It had worked before.]}

[That gets a grin out of him, equal parts relieved and sheepish. He doesn't really mind that Henry figured out what he was trying to say, even if he personally thinks it makes him seem weak. Henry's his friend, and Envy trusts him to see that weakness.]

Thanks. I owe you one.

[Not just for that, but for the forest, too. He honestly probably wouldn't have made it out if he'd been on his own. And people from Amestris don't take 'I owe you one' lightly. EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE.]

_{[Henry returns the grin. It's smaller but just as honest.]}

You got it, Aquaman.
