[...You know, this is the first time he's actually gotten her damn voicemail, and he's completely unsurprised but at the same time, it's a sort of accidental rude as hell that he can approve of.
Anyway.]
Hey. You hiding again?

Hey. You hiding again?
[Were you expecting anything else from her though??
Nowi answers shortly, responding with audio as well.]
Maaaaaybe. Depends on why you want to know!

[...Honestly, not really...]
I'm off shift and I'm bored, and that means I've got way too long to think about stupid things.
[...]
Just listen to that. Usually you're the one calling me because you're looking for entertainment, you're rubbing off.

Oh wow, you're finally loosening up, Ginti! I'm so proud of you!
[Well, she certainly sounds happy about that.]
But sure, we can do something! Do you wanna play? I'm hiding right now and Mana still hasn't found me.
[Probably because her poor Dratini is not here for this shit.]

...Let me guess. You're not giving me hints, are you.
[Not like he needs them by now, but.]

Of course I'm not, silly! You'll have to look really hard, I've picked a great spot this time!
[...it's one of her usual like, four spots so you'll be fine.]
[...it's one of her usual like, four spots so you'll be fine.]
[You are getting the most put-upon sigh, Nowi.]
Okay, okay, sure. Give me a bit.
[...She's up the damn tree again, isn't she.]
Okay, okay, sure. Give me a bit.
[...She's up the damn tree again, isn't she.]
[You bet she is!! Nowi loves it up here, she can see pretty much all of Cherrygrove and it feels sort of like she's flying sometimes! It's her favorite hiding spot and unsurprisingly, her Pokémon usually have zero interest in trying to climb the tree to find her.]
[There are some positives that come with being functionally unable to die and knowing damn well what happens when you do; namely, you become one of the most fuckless people on the planet with regards to heights and the potential of falling from them. The tree in question is tall as hell but not nearly to the point of inspiring the fear of God or anything, at least not as far as Ginti is concerned, and when he's in the mood he doesn't mind climbing it too much.
Fortunately today it gives him something to do, and he's in full "not nearly as much lineface as there could have been" at this, just...give him a moment to get up there.]
Found you.

Found you.
Ahh, you're really good at this!
[Nowi waves in greeting and easily slips down a few branches to sit beside Ginti. She's climbed a lot of trees in a thousand years and she's pretty good at it, if she says so herself.]
You didn't cheat, did you?
[But that's playful and it's not like she'd really mind if he did. Nowi's been up here for over an hour and she was beginning to get bored.]

Didn't even ask Mana for help this time.
[...Oh, hey. He doesn't mind her being down here, at least; we're just...going to be chilling up in this tree for a while, looks like.]
Been at it for a while?
[...Oh, hey. He doesn't mind her being down here, at least; we're just...going to be chilling up in this tree for a while, looks like.]
Been at it for a while?
Good! I'd have to pout at you if you did!
[She swings her legs idly as she looks out over the city.]
Yeah, it's been a little while. I don't really mind, I like being up high like this! But it'd be nice if Mana wouldn't leave me up here forever!
[It might also be nice if you didn't make your Dratini climb a tree to find you, Nowi.]

[...Mana doesn't have hands, Nowi, that tends to make climbing easier...]
And I'm going to guess that climbing down is admitting defeat or something.

[You'd think she'd realize this or maybe she's just being a jerk. Who knows.]
Of course it is! I don't ever lose at hide and seek!
Of course it is! I don't ever lose at hide and seek!
...Isn't hide and seek one of those games you have to plan to lose eventually? They've got to find you again sometime.
It counts as a victory for me if it takes them a long time to find me!
[...nowi that's not how it works]

[.....................uh]
...I can see where you win a lot then, yeah.
...I can see where you win a lot then, yeah.
Yep! I always won back home too! No one's as good as I am!
[...okay.]
[...okay.]
[...You know what, as long as you're happy.]
You okay just staying up here for a while, though? We can go actually do something later, I'm just not in the mood for most people right now.

I'm okay with that! I'm pretty lucky you're in the mood for me then, huh?
[He just sort of shrugs at that.]
I usually am. Don't let it go to your head.

As you should be! I am your bestest best friend, after all!
[TOO LATE]
[TOO LATE]
Wow, you really must be feeling nice today! Normally you get all grumpy and try to pretend like we're totally not best friends!
It's not like I've got a whole lot of friends in the first place. I've told you, it's not something I do.
[...]
I dunno. We've been here, what, five months? And I haven't put you on a boat or anything, so.
