☘ 019; [video]

[Dropped to the ground of Route 34 not far from Goldenrod, the video showed an oddly tilted view of Lancer with his Venomoth at his side, currently facing a group of very angry Krabby.]

[That tends to happen when a trainer provokes the hell out of them looking for a way to challenge his already overleveled Pokemon. Oops.]

C'mon, then. Let's have a little fun. [The insect darted forward, and the next few moments were a rush of motion, snapping claws, fluttering wings, and one Lancer swatting at a few of them with a fishing pole. Until...]

[Snip.]

[In a moment, without warning or indication. The atmosphere changed drastically. The wild Krabby that had leapt up to attack the fishing rod wielding Trainer had instead caught half of a blue ponytail in its claw. The air had become tangibly heavy with absolute shock, and everything from the wild Krabby to Lancer himself had fallen uttelrly still save only for the wingbeats of a Venomoth.]

[That signature blue hair was now several inches shorter.]

[And the look on Lancer's face--an absolute look of horrified shock turning to sudden snarling anger--suggested this meant far more than a simple cosmetic change.]

Fragarach, PSYBEAM!

[In response to her Trainer's sudden rage, the sudden psychic distortion in the air was apparently strong enough to knock out the video feed.]

[ With a frown. ]

Lancer, just what are you doing?

[Not answering. At least not for a good twenty minutes. Then:]

We were training.

[ If anything, she'll respect his desire for using text over video. ]

Without me? Did you need time to yourself for some reason?

Nothing personal. I like training with just Fragarach or one of the others sometimes.

[ She's been a tad bit lonelier than usual, but as if she would ever fess up to that. Instead, she'll muse over his response for a bit, taking her time in typing up a reply. ]

We should go on a trip sometime. Train against some Pokemon that are not familiar to this area.

Sounds good. I never was the kind to stay in one place for long, anyway.

...Lancer? What was that about?

[The fact that he's not even using video is probably a very telling thing in itself.]

I'm not exactly eager to go into detail about it.

Is there some sort of sentimentality attached to your hair length?

[He's guessing, but it's not a difficult conclusion to come to after that demonstration.]

So what if there was? It doesn't matter now, does it?

Why? Do you have to shave your head now?

[8| Shirou...]

...wow, you really are kind of a moron.

No. It's not like that.

...What is it with Pokémon and attacking people's hair...?

If there's anything left of that one, he'll have learned his lesson.

Hopefully the officers have not seen the video.

Like I give a damn.

...Will you be fine?

L-Lancer? Is everything... are you okay?

I'm alright, yeah.

... Want to talk?

I lost something important, that's all.

"That's all"? If it's important, it can't be just that.

[ 'Course since the lost part was the hair... ]

It'll grow in time. It's still a nice shade of blue.

Fine. Just an accident.

It sounded like more than just an accident! Oh, I hope you're okay!
