[There's a pause from Joker before he eventually replies.]
that would be nice wouldnt it

If ya weren't a part a it, and didn't know about it, then don't see what ya got ta do with it. Ain't like ya control the team.
Never thought of it like that.
Well no.
And you know that I would tell you had I known before hand.
Take care and see you on opening day - FAIRIES!

dont worry it took a good while for doll to show up too and snake had been here before and then left and then came back again. this place sure can be finicky
people keep tellin me people kinda just show up and disappear randomly all the time. so I guess I shouldnt worry about it too much!
[Well now that the thing he wanted to do has settled, he's run out of things to talk about. He's still unsure if Joker is really ok, since what happened on the train seemed to shake him up a bit....but he doesn't feel right asking over text.]
but anyways, that was some circus, yeah? how many people do you think showed up?

[Hope you're prepared for so much lying and deflecting when you woke up the nerve, Jimmy.]

[SOME DAY SOON JOKER, JUST YOU WAIT. And it will be even worse because Jimmy will be face to face when it does come up.]

I think everybody that was there had a great time too. guess that means The Eve's Garden Circus is gonna be a regular thing!
[ it's already been a few days, and with his older brother alongside him, he's learned a lot more than what he would have by himself. getting thorough "lessons" and lectures about what was what and how things worked around here— that includes how to work the boxes, once in cherrygrove.
sasuke hasn't had any luck with catching another teammate just yet ( he's trying, and he's stepped it up with training! ), but he's learning the ropes of just about everything anyway, including pcs. it's where he finds the egg, from joker—
he didn't know where to start when it came to thank yous! but even then, he had some help. go on, he's gently instructed, and by evening, joker's getting a call. a shy one, but a call no less. ]
Mr— [ ah, right. cutting off, and taking another breath before starting again. he almost forgot-! ( it's the giddiness, really ) ]
Joker-? [ is he there-? ]

[The replying call opens up with what sounds like a lot of crashing, followed by an awkward silence. Joker's voice finally comes through, although it doesn't sound like he's speaking directly into the 'Gear.]
Invidia, can ya get Claw and Fang and make sure they didn't break anythin' important? [Aaaand now he speaks into the 'Gear.] 'Lo!

[ the sound of his voice makes him smile, and he even does go to speak ( although when he hears other things going on, he chokes back the "um" and waits expectantly ). a small throat clearing, and: ( haha he's still kind of nervous— or is it giddiness-? ) ]
Hi, Joker— It's Sasuke.
Hi, Joker— It's Sasuke.
Thought it was~. I gotta knack for rememberin' voices. How are ya adjustin'? Everythin' goin' alright?
I'm okay— And Chinatsu, too. [ he's found a name for her, and there's a soft, approving "cynda!" just to the side, as they're both sitting down, the fire type on one side while there's this— thing in his lap. ]
Me and Brother're in Cherrygrove City.
[ a pause. he's silently unsure of what to say just yet— but maybe checking up on things is a polite start. ]
Um— Are you okay, too?

Cherrygrove! Lovely place~. I found my Lightnin' and Rogue over there.
[There's an obvious grin in his voice- well, there's always some sort of grin in his voice but especially so now. Angel seems to be just as pleased, he can tell.]
We're doin' fine. Brother been watchin' out for ya right?

Mhm. He always is— [ fondly said. he's even been having more time for sasuke— maybe that was because there was nothing else to do, but he wasn't complaining one bit. ]
But I— I wanted to call . . . [ it's a moment where if they were to be face to face, sasuke would be timidly looking at his feet instead of the other man, all with a soft forming smile. ]
To say thank you. [ and just to clarify— there's a bit of rustling, and he can't see it, but . . . it's there, right on his lap. ] For this— For the egg.

That's good. Big brothers should look after their family.
[It's something he's always tried to do himself. Ultimately- he can't say he succeeded in the end. Good big brothers don't send their family to their death. Lots of dark thoughts lately, he tries to brush them aside to listen to the young boy that's called him. It brings a kind of smile to his own face.]
[He's always preferred making kids happy than whisking them away like a twisted pied piper.]
Glad ya like it. Gonna hatch a Growlithe, if all goes well. Kid outta have a dog, yeah? I hear they got huge when ya evolve 'em!

A— Brother has a Growlithe!
[ the admiration ( and excitement ) in his voice is so great he's actually really happy— one who admires wants to be like the admired, despite sasuke wanting to surpass him in a way. or at least, you know, get his own praise. ]
Do we have to keep it warm? [ like a chicken . . . but he asks, because he wants to give it the best care he can give! ]

Well now! Looks like I picked exactly the right sort, then, eh?
[Coincidences like that are always his favorite ones.]
Yeah, keep it with ya- should be enough room in your pack ta keep it when yer on the move. That's what I've done for some a mine!

Nope~. Growlithe's just one a those sorts ya hear get suggested a lot, next ta Ponytas.
If ya keep it cushioned and all, it outta be fine. They're a bit tougher than yer usual chicken's egg, I've found.

I know ya will. Ain't any doubt here.
Yer gonna have ta start thinkin' a names, y'know!
