[Post 010] Forward-Dated to Christmas Morning; Video/Action in Violet City

[The 'Gear comes on pointing upwards and unfocused. It's safe to say that this is probably Marianne's fault.]

[If you happen to come across France, he's sitting underneath one of the bazillion springs of mistletoe in the Violet City Pokemon Center with his pokemon all gathered around him. Kai, Drifblim, and David all look rather curious, and Marianne looks... distracted by the mistletoe overhead. He had rushed to the counter upon waking because of the sudden appearance of a mystery egg in his bed. It looks something like this:]




[He's now been assured that it is, in fact, his to keep. A small, warm Eevee egg of unknown origins, but France doesn't look like he's about to question it. Actually, quite the opposite. He's got a calm, almost drugged expression on his face, and the Eevee egg is wrapped in a swath of white fleece as he cradles it in his arms. He looks very, very happy and, if you come close or happen to catch the faint sound on the feed, you would hear France singing from the carol Ah! Quel grand mystère! (O! What a great mystery!) to the egg in his arms.]

Ah! Quel grand mystère!
Dieu se fait enfant.
Il descend sur terre,
Lui, le tout-puissant!
C’est bien le Messie,
Roi de l’univers,
Qui nous rend la vie
En brisant nos fers.

[France winks and flips his hair over his shoulder.]

I am versatile and beautiful. Nothing can keep me down.

[Coop doesn't answer this but gives a sort of half-nod. And then he leans forward just slightly, all interest.]

You must tell me - what was that song earlier?

[France blinks at the increase of interest, returning it with curiosity.]

Ah! Quel grand mystère! is a Christmas carol. A pretty old-fashioned one, actually... Why?

Quel grand mystère ... "What a great mystery", right?

[He repeats the title looking like he's been let it on a secret. This, my friend, is very happy Cooper.]

I enjoyed hearing it.

[France nods, still obviously curious. What has he done to make Cooper so happy?]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you speak French?

[He leans back, nodding, still looking very happy with things.]

Some. I studied it for some time but as it rarely comes into use, I wouldn't call myself fluent. I got rusty.

[France nods sympathetically.]

Language are definitely something that has be kept up.

[His eyes light up.]

If you like, I could help you review and be a conversation partner. I miss having someone to converse with in my native tongue.



[[OOC: If Cooper accepts, this would have to be something that happens mostly off-screen. I'm not confident enough with my French to write in it too extensively. I'm sorry. *A*]]

[This has got to be the best day ever. Cooper grins widely, warmly, and nods.]

I would consider it an honour.

[Totally offering a handshake as ways of sealing the deal.]


(ooc: hahah that's just as good, cause I know absolutely no French aside from 'my name is' and 'I have a lonely soul' - and that last one I only know cause Coop says it in the show, so there you go. xD)

[France accepts the handshake eagerly, returning that lovely grin with a bright smile.]

It will be fun; I promise I won't put you through Medieval French unless you want to give it a go.



[[OOC: \o/ Awesome~ ♥]]

[That earns you a small laugh.]

I think you'll have to go easy on me, at least to start with.


[ooc: ahah <3 oh and happy new year :D]

[France shrugs and winks playfully.]

Who knows? You might find that you remember more than you think.



[[OOC: <333 HAPPY NEW YEAR~ 83]]

[Again, a small laugh.]

It wouldn't surprise me.

[He shakes his head, still looking the epitome of some sort of amazed happy.]

Man, this Christmas certainly beats the last one. I'm going to miss this place if we ever find our ways back home.

[France pauses. Cooper seems so happy, and they probably would have never met if they were still alive in the normal world. He smiles gently.]

It has been a very good Christmas. I would definitely miss you, if we end up being separated in the Final Judgement.

[He doesn't really answer to that at first, and the smile turns smaller but just a bit more heartfelt.]

Me too.
