[ Hey he doesn't know anything about pokemon, don't judge him! He might startle a little at the rustling. His robotic hand might actually form into a pointed edge as he glares at the Exeggutor and Venusaur that just randomly appear. He might cough roughly a few times before he eases his stance and his arm shifts back into something resembling a hand. ]
What...what the hell are they then? [ He's really not sure what to make of them yet? They're pretty alien looking to him but they seem docile enough. ]
Pokemon? I don't think I've ever heard of them before. [ He will just turn away briefly to cough a little into his normal hand. He tastes the blood mixing with phlegm in his mouth and a slight grimace crosses over his features as he turns back to Erika. The cold dry air wasn't doing anything for his condition right now.
Still he'll take a few rattling breaths and nod, waving off her concern with easy dismissal. ] I'm-I'm fine. Just...not very good in this weather. It's nothing to be worried about. I've had it for a couple of years so I'm used to it.
I didn't think you would have. They seem...unique...to my world. [Sadly.] But they're invaluable friends and allies. Even though some of them look more...cute...than strong.
[And she gestures towards the entrance now.]
And if you're sick we can continue this conversation indoors. We can't have you getting more ill, now can we?
I've never come across anything like them before in the worlds I've visited, so this is a first for me. [ He'll bend down, his robotic hand on his chin, as he gazes back at the pokemon. His expression is at least that of interest.
He'll return to his normal stance after a cough off two, shaking his head in response. ] Inside might be easier on me...if you're not too put off by it.
[ Another cough as he looks towards the back door entrance to the party. Not everyone is good with crowds and loud music after all. ]
[Erika glides along towards the back door, her companions traipsing along with her.]
And I have gathered that to be the case for all but one man here. But that's neither here nor there. They're friends, and loyal, and I have little worry about my safety.
