Hello, this is Erina. I am indisposed at this time. Please leave your message and I will return it. Thank you.
[There is distinct Pachirisu squeaking.]

No, Peda, you may not leave a message.

[This message reaches both Erina and Jonathan's inboxes. There is a short video attachment. Judging by the sounds, it's taken on a beach. On the sand, protectively cradled against the side of an older Lapras lies a tiny newly-hatched Lapras, blinking adorably up at the camera. It is very small. Well, it is still big, but also, it is small. Oh, but that is not all, because out from behind the first baby pops the head of another baby Lapras (they had sold him two eggs after all), nipping at the first baby's ear.]

I thought you might like to know that the eggs hatched. Both of them. I'm open to any naming suggestions if you have them.

[ You must forgive her, Armin, as she has appropriately swooned before answering. ]

Oh, my goodness! Look how lovely they both are! I must confess, the smile on my face became very wide. Oh dear, well, I will confer with Jonathan to see if we can come up with anything, of course.

However, in addition: are you well?

[Armin knows the power of baby Lapras.]

That would be much appreciated. I have to confess, I'm starting to run out of names.

I'm doing fine, thank you. I hope it's the same for you. I know one of those weekends can be... rather a lot to adjust to the first time you experience them.

[And the second time. And the third. And... actually, they always remain a bit of a pain in the butt.]

[What a terrible, wonderful power that should only be used for good and never evil.]

To be certain, I hardly remember much, though I did dream we danced on the lake, Jonathan and I. It was very romantic. Even with our aquatic audience.

In better news, he found some very important jewelry that was stolen by those naughty little pokemon. I am relieved beyond all words!

On the lake? Like on a boat?

[She totally must mean on a boat, right? How else can you dance on a lake?]

I'm glad you got your jewellery back. There were some things I wasn't able to retrieve, but thankfully, that was mostly cheap and easy to replace things. The only thing I really wanted back was my Dive TM, and thankfully Newt and I found that.

Hopefully, they won't do it again, but I guess the next time things start going missing, at least we'll know where to look.

Oh, no. Not on a boat at all. On the lake. It was all very romantic, but truly must have been a dream. Anything else sounds like a fairy-tale.

[She would need to confer with Jonathan on that, perhaps, too.]

That was the same for myself, but the jewelry is what was most important to me. Anything else, we can replace in town as we travel.

Those two lapras really are terribly charming.

Maybe. But if there is any time even the strangest things can be reality it is during those weekends. Thankfully they don't happen too often.

This might be a personal question, but did you happen to find something from your own world as well among the things they took?

Re: [text]

Well, whatever it was, I welcomed it. It was very pleasant, all things considered.

As for what was returned to me: I received back my wedding jewelry and my wedding ring. I am thoroughly relieved as I was in quite a panic when it vanished from my finger.
