So um, I have a request today! Pokemon eggs. Is anyone interested in taking any off our hands? I uh.. My Pokemon and Dave's Pokemon decided to leave us a bunch this morning, and we didn't find them until we came back from training, and.. well, we aren't going to raise nineteen Pokemon, that would be insane!

[Moving the feed from herself to point at her bed, the eggs are all neatly arranged with cards beneath the respective bunch or single.] If you have trouble reading the writing, I can let you know which Pokemon is which. I can definitely say from what.. little I've researched about breeding, that the Growlithe and Solosis eggs should be really powerful once they hatch! Both had parents of the same species together and all.

We do want them to go to nice homes overall, so I'm not too interested in charging any money; just take care of them and we'll call it good, alright?

[He opens the package without any thought to it. His jerk is practiced.]

[She'd be jealous if she weren't impressed that it only took one yank. It deserves a little applause.]

These things have a seal point, that's where it's weakest. [He caught the look and shows her exactly where he yanked with both hands on the front and upper back.]

Aha! I see! Usually I just take scissors to them. [Taking the package and giving the plastic another half tug just to put the location of her hands in mind, she moves to pull the noodles out carefully and set them on the counter.]

You'll just have to be on hand so I can pass the plastic to you when I can't find the right seal point.

[He looks to her with a roguish grin. It's a bit played up for her benefit.] I'm here to serve. Just trust all your plastics into my willing and nimble hands.

[Dave. Dave. Stop smiling at her like that. It just reminds her that she has too many good looking friends. He's like the only one she's not related to either. Stop. Stahp.] Hoo hoo hoo!

[Jane just passes him the glass sauce jar then and starts to carefully dip the noodles into the now boiling water.] Those willing and nimble hands need to be macho for a moment to open that. The suckers always need me taking a knife to them to beat it senseless, but I think you won't need to do that.

[He digs for a fork, hooks it under the lid and pops the seal with it. After that unscrewing the lid is a snap. Dave offers her the opened jar.] Course I don't, I learned how to cheat.

You should write a book called 'the cheats of life' and include all these tidbits. [Taking the offered jar and setting it aside, it's just a matter of waiting for the noodles to cook now.]

You should talk to Bro sometime, this is his specialty. Cheats of life, and other such shit. He's more inventive than a frat boy without a bottle opener.

Hoo hoo hoo, but I want the Dave Strider version! I feel like his would be full of puppet jokes about three pages in.

Not seeing a puppet joke in all of that would be shocking. I mean Bro's version, not mine. There are no puppets in my version. [But sometimes he thinks about puppets. Sometimes...]

Good, because if puppets are in his, robots or horses would be in Dirk's. Therefore, I want to know your version sometime. [Reaching and playfully beeping his nose, she turns to get a strainer out and clean the sink before putting it in, getting ready for dumping the noodle water.]

Has he ever made robotic horses? You need to warn me about this. [Dave admits to himself he knows so little about Dirk. He wants to know more. As much as possible.]

No, not robotic horses. He did make a guardian robotic rabbit as a birthday gift for me, and then he made a sparring Brobot for Jake. He's also made a couple of robots for himself, I believe the names were Squarewave and Sawtooth, and then he got the fancy idea of taking a brain scan of himself and creating an artificial intelligence of his thirteen year old self that exists in his sunglasses. An auto-responder, if you may, who is far more alive than I think Dirk gives him credit for.

[That's a lot to take in. Dave blinks and processes the knowledge in silence.]

... Was that a little too much?

Just a bit surprised, the guy is...really intense in a different way from Bro. More like Rose.

Hoo hoo, well, I'll say he does have a little knack for writing too. Rewrote an entire pony pals book for me once, changed the story completely, but it was still an amazing read.

See? That's what I mean. That dude is hardcore. [Sometimes, he feels like he doesn't measure up.]

I think he just had a lot of time on his hands. From what he and Roxy said, they were the last two humans left. [the fact that she hadn't believed them makes her quiet, attention turning down.]

I think... he was very lonely. He had to make things to interact with. Roxy at least had cats and little chess people, she always said.

[There's a moment of quiet as that sinks in.] ...Well, he has people around him now. And a brother who won't leave him alone.

Right. We're all here for him. I think the next time we are all together, we should bear hug him.

Everyone mount the Strider wagon and give it a good rocking?

[That description makes her laugh, turning to put the heat on low and find her oven mitts.]

Yes, exactly!
