[nellacerniera]

[Bruno's just returning after an errand, and he looks... kind of exasperatedly amused.]

So I've ended up with another Salazzle.

[ripetuto]

[Leone looks up from his book and just. Raises a singular eyebrow.]

[nellacerniera]

[As if on cue, a shiny Salazzle climbs onto the arm of the sofa, peering at Leone.]

... She'll be helpful for breeding?

[ripetuto]

[. . .]

Bello, how the hell do you keep finding these shinies?

[nellacerniera]

I honestly couldn't tell you. I mean, I was looking for a specific one this time and this wasn't it, but...

[ripetuto]

What were you looking for this time?

[nellacerniera]

Pawniard.

[Considering what a shiny Bisharp looks like, is it really that much of a surprise?]

[ripetuto]

Do we have a regular Pawniard and can they breed with a shiny we already have?

[Babe. Babe you're dating a breeder.]

[nellacerniera]

We don't have one, no.

[... And actually, could one breed with something they have...?

Hm.]

And it would take some doing on our part to get a shiny that could breed with one.

[ripetuto]

Not like we don't have time or Pokemon.

[nellacerniera]

True. We may need to keep an eye out for others as things stand now, though.

[...]

It's not like it's a priority anyway... It was idle curiosity that had me looking to begin with.

[ripetuto]

What do you mean?

[nellacerniera]

[Leone almost certainly knows Bruno well enough by now to know he wasn't being entirely truthful about the idle curiosity bit.]

You have other things to worry about with the breeding anyway, right? With the Association.

[ripetuto]

Bruno.

[Yeah he can tell.]

They're asking for easy shit. Why did you want a shiny Pawniard?

[nellacerniera]

[Glancing away.]

... Shiny Bisharp looks a bit like Sticky Fingers.

[ripetuto]

[Ah.]

What do we need to start?

[nellacerniera]

[... oh.]

Pawniard's only egg group is Human-like... We've got a couple of Pokémon that are both Field and Human-like, so if we can get one of the Field shinies to breed with those...

[ripetuto]

Shouldn't be too hard. We know how eager to breed these guys are.

[nellacerniera]

[He laughs a little.]

Honestly, yeah. Not to mention the fact that it's been a while.

[ripetuto]

Don't give them ideas. We don't have space for all that shit right now!

[nellacerniera]

[He laughs.]

I know, I know! We were doing alright at keeping it to a minimum, at least.

[ripetuto]

And we're going to keep it to a minimum until we get an actual house.

[God save him from these eggy bastards]

[nellacerniera]

One or two pairs at a time going forward until the actual house?

[ripetuto]

With a focus on anything that will get you a shiny Pawniard.

[nellacerniera]

[A quick kiss.]

And on anything for advancing your rank in the Association.

[It hasn't escaped Bruno's notice that you've been enjoying that, Leone!!]
