Video/Action for Violet City

[Shaun looks pale and trembling, and his eyes are wide and scared. He looks - and sounds, when he finally speaks - like he's been crying. All he can manage are four short words, before his voice cracks and it's all he can do not to break down.]

Norman won't wake up.

Shaun, dear, if there's anything I can do...

Thanks, Miss Rarity.

...What town are you in right now?

[Because if you're in Violet he wouldn't say no to a hug.]

Cianwood, currently. Sitting in the back of a cart. Are you nearby?

...No.

[NOT AT ALL.]

I'm in Violet City. It's a long ways away from Cianwood.

Oh.

[ There's a long silence. ]

Well, Shaun, the next time we're nearby I'll have a new pair of pajamas waiting for you! [ However she can find material to make pajamas. Details! ] What would you like on them, dear?

Really?

[Oh right she's a fashion designer.]

Uh...I dunno. Rocketships, or maybe bears?

[blue teddiursa pajamas would be literally the cutest thing.]

[ What's a rocketship? ] Bears it is! I'll make it a deep blue, or perhaps a purple. They'll keep you warm at night. Something has to.

[He goes to correct her that it's not that cold at night, especially when his team sleeps with him, and then he remembers how cold it was traveling to Violet City and decides maybe he could use the extra warmth after all.]

Well, thanks Miss Rarity! That's really nice of you.

Uh, I like blue more than purple, if that's okay.

Darling, the needs of my customers take express priority whenever I make something for them! ... Unless it makes absolutely no fashion sense, of course. I've learned my lesson.

Oh... Customer?

[He thought she meant like a present.]

Customers and non-paying clients, that is. Oh, don't worry, I wouldn't dream of charging you! Not for something as quick as a pair of pajamas!

[An adult with a sense of shame might feel bad about accepting a gift from someone who's apparently an awesome fashion designer without even offering compensation.

But Shaun is 11.]

Are you gonna know how to make them the right size?

Well, I'm not exactly a mind-reader, dear. How tall are you, would you say? I can do more particular tailoring when I give them to you.

Uh... kid-sized?

[Hold on let him try to remember. It's been a few years since either of his parents felt like measuring him against the doorframe but he went to the doctor a lot in the months before he came to Johto.]

I dunno, about four and a half feet tall?

I'm used to measuring for ponies, Shaun, so any measurement you can give me is helpful. That'll do nicely for a start! I'll have them ready for you as soon as I can. You just sit tight, and wait for Norman to wake up, all right?

Okay. Thanks again, Miss Rarity.

I'll talk to you again soon, right?

Of course, and if there's anything you need, even if it seems like a little thing, you can call me up, okay, Shaun?

[Shaun smiles.]

Okay, I'll remember that. Tell me when you leave Cianwood and I'll see where we are then, too.

Of course! You'll need your pajamas, after all.

[ She awkwardly sits in front of the screen, not sure what else to say. Finally she goes with: ] Well, so long! [ and switches the feed off. ]
