For some reason, the expected amount of splashing was not coming from Seth and Aerie. When Mimic turned to look, he saw a Farfetch'd carrying an obviously worn-out and sleeping miniature Horsea on its back. The duck shrugged, and answered in Aerie's voice, "Huh. Are you *sure* you let him sleep it off?" "Mimic positive!" "Sian." (To Doppler's negative.) Mimic formed an eyebrow just so he could raise it. "Purr. Purrsian." (Sorry. Couldn't resist.) Aerie rolled her eyes. "ANYway, I was going to wait for Seth to get up, but if he's going to be like this..." Aerie transformed into her normal state, forming a pocket on her shirt just below the center of her neckline, and stuffing Seth in it so only his head peeked out. "Ok, let's go." "Err...actually, Mimic think safest wait until Seth up." Aerie blinked. "Why wait?" "Just say Mimic have feeling..." "Mimic, do you know what *I'm* feeling?" She knelt until her face was nearly in his. "Do you *know* what it's like, to slowly lose yourself into some...*monstrosity*? To be only a passenger in your own life, trapped in your OWN MIND?!?" She blinked, caught herself, and sighed. "It's worse...at least if I was only trapped, I'd know I could keep fighting." "Mimic know. But Mimic *really* think we should wait until Seth awake. No can say why." "Mimic..." Aerie locked eyes with him. "I trust you. For now. But even my trust in you is finite. There had *better* be some good reason for this..." "Err...ummm...Mimic...*think* maybe Seth pick up on feeling, when he awake. Maybe Seth can explain." "We'll see." Aerie stood up. "So, what do we do until then?" "See sights? Maybe see if Rockets already swarming over base? Mimic wonder how long before that all over news." Aerie shrugged. "It's a start. And if they haven't picked up on it, maybe we should report it." Fifteen minutes later, they were checked out of the hotel. Five minutes after that... [Continued in [PW!] Discussion About Ditto)
