Valerian was still celebrating his victory. He straightened his blazer, brushing nonexistent dust from his sleeve, and practicing how he’d retell the story later (“Valerian Hardrada: Prince of Elegance, Slayer of Chaos!” had a nice ring to it).

It wasn’t until Amelia mentioned “that yellow acquaintance” that he froze.

[color=pink]“Yellow—?”[/color] He turned, and there it was: the Pikachu. Still clinging to his pants with trembling paws, its eyes were wide, traumatized by everything it had just seen.

Valerian blinked once, then twice. [color=pink]“By Xerneas, you’re still here?!”[/color]he gasped, clutching at his chest as though personally offended by his own oversight. [color=pink]“Darling, I completely forgot about you amid the terror and triumph! How ghastly of me!”[/color]

Aurelia Rose buzzed wearily, her equivalent of an eye roll, while Camellia shook her leaves in silent disapproval.

Valerian crouched beside it, and extended a hand toward the trembling Pikachu. His voice softened. [color=pink]“You poor, brave creature. You’ve endured peril, chaos, and a prince’s first near-death experience, and yet you stand. That makes you an honorary member of House Hardrada for the day.”[/color]

He gave a small, reassuring smile. [color=pink]“Now come along, little one. Let’s go before something else decides to attack my face today.”[/color]
