01. Video | New Bark Town
[there's a face under the hat-produced shadow and long blond bangs on the screen. the face of a young man, to be precise--about 18 years old, malnourished-looking with eyes like he doesn't know what sleep is. he turns his head a couple of ways like he's trying to find the best angle to listen to the 'Gear from, concentrating.
finally, he shakes his head with a sadly disapproving look and talks to someone offscreen.]
No. I can't hear them the right way like this, either. The way that I think I hear you.
I hear them like people, but it's--like people talking. I see them, too. Does that mean it's working?
[his attention is still offscreen. beat. and then he smiles, a little.]
Thank you. I'm sorry. This is still interesting.
[now he looks at the 'Gear properly, expression cleared and voice somewhat louder and lighter.]
Er--my name is Cole. I don't know if I am supposed to say anything. [glances into a corner.] She--told me that if I used this, then I could hear more than I could without it.
How do you do?
[that's what you say when you're testing the waters, right? he doesn't have the means to do anything much more than that with whatever can hear him back.]

This is my Meowstic, Hope. He's a psychic type.

["Ralts". "Gardevoir". "Meowstic".
it also seems more appropriate to read Pokemon's expressions like people's expressions than regular animals.]
Does he not... want me looking?
[video]
He doesn't like anyone but me, Kairi, and Naminé. He doesn't seem too fond of men.
