[Video / Action for Azalea]

[The feed comes on to show Apollo in scrubs behind the front desk of the Azalea PokéCenter. It's been a slow day and he hasn't had very much to do besides stand there and think about the problem that the rain is hammering home. He hates to admit it, but it looks like he's stuck having to ask other humans for help on this one.]

Does anyone know how to build a shelter that's good for all the seasons? Ilex Forest isn't mountainous enough to have caves. I was thinking that digging some kind of burrow in a hill would work, but I don't know how to make a roof that would stay up and water wouldn't come through. I know there are mountains here, but do any of them have forests near them? If there's one like that it would be easier to just find a cave there than build a shelter.

Lots of animals do that if you enter their territory. They're just protecting themselves. If you're stupid enough to get close without watching to see if they're okay with it you deserve to get attacked.

If I see something new then I'll watch and try to learn about it. Unless I think I'm going to see something there's no point in learning about it.

[He'll defeat her clever plan by asking someone to read it to him or just ask his Pokémon directly how they want to be treated, like he does already.]

Those would be useful, but Grandpa didn't have any of those, so we had to keep food from going bad a different way.

And lots of people yell at people who litter. It works both ways.

[They're both so stubborn, they could probably argue about this forever.]

[What? No! Cheating is bad, Apollo. Stop that!]

They come in really handy. [Then she realizes something, important question time.] What about music?

[She finds it hard to imagine life without music.]

I've never seen that happen.

[It would be so much worse if this was the main series Apollo. XD At least this one is being calmly stubborn.]

You mean all that annoying noise that's everywhere here? What about it?

[He would love a life without music again. Being here has basically destroyed any possible interest he might have had in it.]

Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

[Yes, she's really going to pull this one.]

If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one around to hear it. Does it still make a sound?

[Oh Rinoa, that's not an analogy that's going to work really well here.]

Music doesn't always sound like this, it can sound like a lot of things.

[She'll be so sad to hear that, and probably find that just as tragic as living in a cave.]

[...Really, Rinoa? Really?]

There's always someone around hear it. It wouldn't be a forest if there was just one tree.

[The absurdity of that question to him just made him forget to respond to the "music" thing. Good job, Rinoa. XD;]

[She's the right blend of off-beat and optimistic to totally say that with a straight face. She's a special kind of person.]

No one said there was only one tree, it's a forest. That means there are a lot of trees.

[The music thing would have heart her poor heart anyway, it's for the best.]

If a tree falls in the forest, the other trees will know. The only way a tree can fall without anyone knowing is if it's on its own and there aren't any plants or animals anywhere near it.

Knowing isn't the same as hearing.

No, but hearing isn't the only way to know if something's happening. And there are more important things to worry about than a tree falling if there ever isn't anyone in the forest to hear it fall.

That's not the point though!

[Though if she's honest, she doesn't really know what the point of that saying even is.]

What's the point then?

[Because to him to whole saying is stupid.]

I...

[For a minute there she almost can't remember, but then it all comes rushing back.]

It means that just because you've never seen or heard someone do something, it doesn't mean they haven't done it.

If that's what you wanted to say you should have just said it.

[You could have saved this thread 8 tags if you had, Rinoa. XP]

It doesn't mean they have, either.

What's the point in a language having analogies and expressions if you never use them?

[Now where's the fun in that?]

But that doesn't mean that they haven't, so maybe you shouldn't be quite so quick to judge them. See?

I don't know.

[Don't know what all those words mean or why languages have them? Both.

Think of the... digital trees... that used!]

I'll believe it when I see it for myself. That's the only way to know for sure.

Exactly!

[Rinoa... he wasn't agreeing with you. Stop that.]

[There are no digital trees, you can't fool her.]

Then you'd better keep watching, because I'll prove it to you myself if I have to.

Hn.

You'll see~
