_{[There are plenty of newborn Pokemon that enter the world squalling or cooing.]

[This one entered with a whole lot of growling and then nearly took somebody's finger off.]

[The little Deino on the screen, which happens to have a faintly-sparkling green coat rather than the customary blue, is yanking and worrying at the end of one of the scarves that its trainer had received for Christmas as well as the egg it had just hatched from. It's been in the world outside its eggshell for about five minutes and it's already filled with fury at the fact that this long soft thing exists in its general vicinity.]

[Wrath is thrilled.]

[He turns to the camera (which is presumably held by his Kangaskhan) proudly, apparently unconcerned that the tiny dino-dragon is nearly tugging the scarf right off of him.]}

The rock turned into a sparkling animal!

Her name is Mad.

Mad likes to bite.

_{[... A little like her trainer, actually. They also share the same hairdo aesthetic. This is clearly a match made in heaven.]}

So rocks come from birds?

All animals can make rocks?

I'm confused.

An egg isn't a rock! It's...

[.... More silence, which lead to even more gesturing with her hands. Honestly, she's not even sure what she's trying to say anymore.]

...It's an egg.

_{[He tilts his head to the side.]}

... But what is an egg?

[She almost mimics the action, but catches herself.]

Eggs normally come from birds. They have baby animals inside them.

[There's a lot of gesturing going on here. Veronica really wasn't sure how to explain it.]

And usually, only birds have eggs, but everything here does too, and I don't know how that makes sense...

I don't understand. Where do the rocks come from?

Birds are so small.

And eggs are so big and hard!

_{[... Tread very carefully, Veronica. There are so many ways that this could turn into trying to explain the birds and the bees to this awful undead monster child AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.]}

N-no, you see... the rocks come from...

[It is around this time that Veronica realizes what she's trying to say. It is not something she had ever thought about explaining at any point in her life. It is not something she EVER wanted TO explain.

And she was just about to do just that.]

...I-I... uhh...

[There is almost literally smoke coming out of her ears as the bodyguard attempts to think her way out of this.]

_{[Wrath is not helping.]

[He is staring at her earnestly and expectantly.]

[8(?]}

[Dammit.

And now her face is turning red. Dammit. Dammit.

Deep breath....]

Uhh, how about I tell you some other time, okay, Wrath?

Oh...

Okay.

_{[He sounds a little disappointed. 8( HOW DO THE ROCKS GET INSIDE THE BIRDS?????? AND HOW DO LITTLE BIRDS GET INSIDE OF THOSE ROCKS???? THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT HE MAY NEVER KNOW THE ANSWER TO.]}

Uhh, I'm sorry....

[DONT MAKE HER FEEL BAD ABOUT THIS, WRATH.

God what is happening to her, why does she feel bad.]

I'll, uh, tell you next time we meet. Like, in person.

Okay.

I guess I can wait.

Thank you.
