10/31, early morning!

[foolishwren]

<sub>[It's been a very long few days.]

[Henry's undoubtedly heard about where Heather went and WHY from the grapevine, but she didn't end up contacting him herself at any point. It's hard to find the time when you're dodging Teams RED and BLU and there's at least one Heavy on your tail at almost all times.]

[But she still feels BAD about it, and so when the beleaguered trio trudges back into the house, the first thing Heather seeks out is her adopted brother. She figures he won't be too hard to find. He's probably still in his sleeping bag.]</sub>

Henry?

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[And behold Henry, staring into the television that's playing some shitty infomercial that's come on after all the horror movies went off during the night, robotically putting gummy something-or-others into his mouth from the bag on his lap.]}

Hnnnn?

[foolishwren]

<sub>[If Envy hadn't mentioned Henry's text about buying those candies at one point, Heather might have assumed that Henry hadn't moved once since she left.]

[But she edges forward, shuffling her feet a little in the process.]</sub>

M'.... sorry I left without saying anything...

I, uh... I brought you something.

_{[Bringing her hand out of her pocket, she holds out a single Pokeball.]}

[no_ufo_ending]

Hnnnn-oh!

_{[He snaps back to the real world and blinks at Heather before giving her a small smile.]}

It's alright. I held down the fort...oh?

_{[That wasn't what he was expecting. He holds his hands out for the ball and turns it over a few times in his hands.]}

What is it?

[foolishwren]

_{[Once he's got the ball in his hands, she steps back again, folding her own behind her back.]}

It's a new one.

Open it and see.

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Henry wisley points the ball away from himself and presses the button.]

[In a flash of red light, the most FABULOUS 'mon to walk the earth appears on the middle of the bed. He shakes his ribbons out and turns in place before facing his new trainer.]

[Somewhere, Burger turns restlessly in his poke'ball.]</sub>

Wow! It's, uh...really pink!

_{[The Sylveon takes this as a compliment and washes one long ear.]}

[foolishwren]

_{[When Henry fails to react with ABJECT HORROR or anything, Heather grins, rocking on her heels.]}

Yeah, after all the shit went down, they kind of... rained out of the sky?

But not as violently as those weird cats and dogs did.

Anyway, I figured I'd catch one for you...

[no_ufo_ending]

What is it with this place and pokemon falling out of the sky?

_{[He timidly reaches out to pat the Fairy-type, unsure of how this one works yet. Luckily, it leans into the attention and chirps.]}

...It's really nice! Oh--no! No, stop!

_{[The Sylveon climbs into Henry's lap and plants its pink ass right on his bag of fruit snacks. c8 ]}

Oh. Okay then. I guess you can have those.

[foolishwren]

_{[... Okay, she can't help but snicker.]}

Maybe you should name it Fruitsnack.

[no_ufo_ending]

I'll think about it...are these...a part of you, little guy?

_{[Henry tugs dubiously at the FLESH RIBBONS dangling off of his new team member.]}

That's...sort of creepy.

[foolishwren]

Yeah, but he's colored like an Easter egg, though.

_{[Now that she's delivered the present, she stretches her arms and walks past Henry to flop down on the couch. It had been a loooooong few days and the exhaustion's catching up with her.]}

[no_ufo_ending]

Heather, that doesn't stop it from being crepbleeebbll--

_{[At that moment, the Sylveon decides to stick his paw into Henry's mouth just because there might be more of those good-smelling snacks in there!]}

[foolishwren]

_{[Ignoring Henry's gargling, she reaches up and grabs the blanket draped over the back of the couch to pull it over herself. It's cold. :c]}

Yeah, well, I dunno, they rained from the sky and they were cute, so I got you one.

_{[Her words trail off into a yawn.]}

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[The Sylveon looks at his empty paw and his ears fall. How disappointing. Oh, well. He totters along the bed to the brave girl who caught him after that very alarming fall from...GOD? It was unclear.]

[He promptly wipes his Henry-spit damp paw on Heather's face. There you go, dear. You had a smudge!]</sub>

I think I'm going to like him.

[foolishwren]

<sub>[... She re-opens one eye as the slimy paw is dragged down the side of her face.]

[... You know what? She's too tired to care.]</sub>

He takes after you.

[no_ufo_ending]

I should name him Henry or... Henry Jr. Yes. My son.

_{[Meanwhile the pink and blue critter is going to dab at Heather's bangs because they are dirty. Child, you are DIRTY. 8c How did you ever get so dirty?]}

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Hey YOU try running around dodging rockslides and tidal waves in a fight between TWO GODS and emerging without any dirt on you, Mr. Fleshribbons!]

[Heather makes a small noise of protest, tilting her head backwards and away from the invasive paws.]</sub>

Mhmm. Henry, can you stop your son from playing patty-cake with my face?

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry finally listens to her and reaches out to pick up the critter around the middle. He dangles placidly and arches his neck. Oh, are we going somewhere?]}

Come, my son. I need to see which of my pokemon to keep you separated from because you don't seem to have any immediate damning qualities and the rest of them...do.

Heather, let me know if you need anything.

[foolishwren]

Mmkay.

Just wake me up if somebody makes lunch at any point, I want some.

_{[She scrubs her face with one hand and then promptly buries it in a pillow.]}
