Something something, I'll make this pretty later, shut up.
No, he certainly does not.
[Joke's on both of them for falling in love with the human version of a golden retriever.]
Well, depending on where all of this ends up, perhaps you will find them again.
Perhaps. [Is she... is she messing with him? Maybe.]

Luckily he has a good heart and an attractive physique. [He's joking, of course, there's more than just that to Jonathan. But sometimes it feels like there isn't when he does something absolutely ridiculous.
Golden retriever is absolutely the correct thing to compare him to.]
I suppose I will have to work myself up to being allowed to say as such. [He's absolutely messing with her now, merely humming to himself in amusement before taking another sip of the tea.]
But I shouldn't tarnish a dignified woman such as you, no?

It isn't tarnishing, it's education, isn't it? Besides, I'm certain I've heard worse in the hospital. Injured people are often bemoaning in one shade of blue or another. You will have to elucidate me.
[Oh yes, she's heard the story of the manor.]
[Oh yes, she's heard the story of the manor.]
[He freezes when he hears that emphasis on the word, running over how the hell she'd know about that until...
Of course he did.]
It's been a long time since then, who knows if I still have it in me. [He'll just play it off as if it hasn't been only a couple of months at most. Even if he's hiding a grin behind that tea cup.]
Do you know how dangerous it makes you when one considers how much you must know of anatomy and how the human body works? It's almost unfair if I didn't know that there's certain things you absolutely wouldn't be aware of in a clinical setting.
Of course he did.]

You know, I have never thought of myself as a particularly dangerous woman, Robert. Why, I am as gentle as a little mouse.
[That was mostly true, save the fact she could and would give an unsuspecting person a tongue lashing for being rude.]
Now, what wouldn't I be aware of?

Wonderful! I'd thought it best to get started on the collection again, and well, it's certainly not a journey to take alone! For all that Erina and I could simply teleport, there is something to be said for taking the proper journey!
To that end Speedwagon, could you meet with me in Mahogany? It might be best to look at possible spare supplies sooner rather than later after all.

It would certainly be easier if we could, but given my... past... situations, I'm sure you can understand why there are quite a few of those teleports I do not have.
Of course. Let me recollect Canadalera and I can be out there in the next five minutes or so if you're already out that way?

[Erina, meanwhile, waited patiently for Jonathan to finish his conversation with Speedwagon.]
Is he on his way, then?
[The decorations were hung and a cake ready (though she had to shoo Peda into his pokeball after he tried to eat the darned thing), now they only awaited their guest of honor.
Assuming he wasn't off on a very long walkabout.]

It was very kind of them!
Naughty of Peda to try and eat the cake before he could even see it, though.
[As less fat-fluff as he'd gotten, the pachirisu apparently still had some weaknesses. She leaned over and kissed Jonathan's cheek.]
We remembered his gift, yes?

[Generally when he says he's on his way, he means it. Especially as his dear salazzle had found nothing of interest to keep her attention. She's been since stowed away in her ball and he's made his way to the tea shop.
And just casually opening the door as always, none-the-wiser to what's going on.]
I suppose it is getting colder out... [An idiot.]

Surprise!
[Erina looks as happy as a clam to see him and pops a party cracker, wisely keeping the confetti from landing on their little cake.]

[With Jonathan and Speedwagon preparing to leave for their journey, Erina had been doing some secretive things of her own. Namely, making sure her husband and her lover were both adequately guarded against the snow and cold.
So she had secretly knitted them scarves and mittens while they slept at night, sitting up with Peda. Best to see to Speedwagon first, Jonathan would be far to excitable.]
Robert? Are you busy?

[Speedwagon, of course being the dingus he is, hadn't even noticed she'd been doing that. But that's not at all unusual when it comes to him. Though he'd been going through his backpack and making sure everything was there and accounted for.
Can't be going out unprepared, after all. He jolts somewhat as he hears her voice, looking up from his seat at the table.]
Not at all, merely going over the list for the tenth or so time today.

Better to be prepared than not, I say.
[Erina smiled and offered him a wrapped package and she stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek.]
Pack this, too. I imagine you should have something warm.
