013 [Video/Action for Goldenrod Pokemon Center]

[soggypastry]

[It's known to quite a few people that Lightning has been sleeping for a week now. What isn't quite as well known, however, is that her Lucario hasn't left her room no matter which human is at her side. So when the gear clicks on to show Lightning still sound asleep, there's the edge of a black paw on the feed. That pretty much clenches who's recording this.

Recording what, you may ask? Well, just watch the human on the bed as she slowly comes back to the world of Johto. She blinks for a bit, obviously still half asleep, before she slowly raises a hand to her forehead.]

Fal'Cie...

[And, before she can say anything else, Lightning is tackled by her Lucario. Over the happy yips and other noises he's making, the sound of the gear clattering to the ground isn't heard by anyone in the room.]

I'd have thought about it first. Training in that kind of heat only leads to trouble.

That's just asking for heatstroke to happen.

Among other things. There's a reason most drills are done before the sun comes up in the summer.

It's not just because your sleeping schedule's crazy?

[Headshake.] No. Not getting enough sleep won't give you heatstroke.

Just headaches.

Only at first. You adjust to it after enough time and they mostly stop.

... This is probably a weird talk to have right after you slept for a week, but you really should sleep more.

[Nod. She's definitely been trying, but...] I know. But ignoring six years of habits isn't as easy as you'd think.

Oh, I know it's harder than a lot of things. [ the tone's casual, but there's a hint of weary familiarity there. ]

[That note in Rise's voice causes Lightning to look over before she sighs. There's a lot of work to be done, for both of them.]

We'll just have to work on it while we have a chance.

Right-- this fight's not over yet!
