hintcoinplz[Ever since Luke left his home in Goldenrod, he hasn't been using his Pokegear much. Truthfully, there was nothing too exciting going on. He set out to finish off his collection of badges, and had decided to spend the next week or so in Mahogany. For a world filled with strange monsters, criminal groups, and adventure his life was well...boring.
Today Luke's out fishing near the Lake of Rage. Soul the Raichu seems to be content enough pressing buttons on the Pokegear while Luke's fishing, and Luke's voice can be heard.]
You know what, Soul? I'm turning fifteen next week.
[Soul lifts his head curiously, picking up the Pokegear in his arms and wandering over to sit by Luke.]
I've been here two years, and I'm about to spend my fifteenth birthday here in Johto. I guess I should be a lot more excited about it, but...it'd be nice if I got to spend at least one birthday with my parents. Or any holiday for that matter.
[Luke reaches over to pat Soul on the head, who nudges his hand in return.]
I like it here, don't get me wrong, it's just...aw heck, you probably don't even know what I'm talking about, do you? I guess I just miss home a little, that's all.
[Soul gives a sad little noise, insisting that yes he does understand, but Luke's already gone back to fishing.]

Date: 2012-10-09 02:27 am (UTC)We should have a birthday party for you, Luke! I'll bake you a cake!
[video]
Date: 2012-10-09 04:10 am (UTC)[But oh dear, she's going to bake him a cake.]
Y-you don't have to go to that kind of trouble, Flora! Really!
[No really. He means it.]
[video]
Date: 2012-10-09 04:50 am (UTC)[You're doomed, man. She's totally baking you a cake.]
I'm so surprised you've grown so fast already! I could have sworn you were younger...
[video]
Date: 2012-10-14 08:04 pm (UTC)[So you know, you don't end up putting pickles in his cake.]
Hehe, well am I growing fast! I'll be a grown-up gentleman before you know it.
[video]
Date: 2012-10-26 09:31 am (UTC)I can't deny a request like that, but you really don't have to if you don't wish to work on your birthday! I could always ask Miss Emmy for assistance if you want to take it easy. [Otherwise, you're doomed. Pickles and cauliflower and salt, yum.]
You are! You're already shaping into a fine young gentleman.
[video]
Date: 2012-11-12 01:11 am (UTC)[aka there's no way he's eating pickle cake for his birthday.]
It's still hard to believe that I'm turning fifteen already. I wasn't that old when I first got here...
[video]
Date: 2012-11-14 04:06 am (UTC)[But pickles are yummy, Luke!]
You've been here quite a while, yes? You've grown quite a bit...
Re: [video]
Date: 2012-11-17 06:23 am (UTC)Good! I can't wait then.
Mhm! I've gotten taller, haven't I?
[video]
Date: 2012-11-21 04:58 am (UTC)I'm glad you're showing an interest in the kitchen, Luke! I may have to enlist your help for dinner every once in a while.
[A laugh.] You have! Much bigger than I remember, too.
[Audio]
Date: 2012-10-11 02:00 am (UTC)Happy birthday~! ...For next week. I can always say that to you again if I hear from you again around the right day. Have a fun party with your friends, okay?
[Audio]
Date: 2012-10-14 08:03 pm (UTC)Thanks! I'll be sure to have a big party, I'll be turning fifteen after all!
[Audio]
Date: 2012-10-16 04:07 am (UTC)[...Winry, any age is a good age for big party in your opinion. Girl is easily excited, okay? Especially when people sound like they need some cheering up.]
What do you want for your birthday?
[Present, mostly... Though any other wishes are welcome too.]
Re: [Audio]
Date: 2012-10-17 02:44 am (UTC)[...What does he want for his birthday though? His cheerfulness falters a little.]
Ah, well what I really want probably isn't going to come true.
[He'd really like to see his family.]
[Audio]
Date: 2012-10-17 06:05 pm (UTC)[Logic, she has it. ...She can hear the change of tone though, and the reply gets a sad smile from her - even if he can't see it on her face right now. Right, wrong questions to ask after hearing a post like that from someone whose parents are still alive back home.]
I'm sorry, I guess that really was the wrong question at the moment ... [She gets it, she really gets it. Just how many times did she want to spend her birthdays with her parents after they were gone?]
But if you really want something that I can give to you as a birthday present here, then let me know, okay?
[Audio]
Date: 2012-11-12 01:13 am (UTC)[He brightens at Winry's last comment.]
Mm! If I think of something, I'll let you know. Thank you.
