>>16398440"Luch, luch, luch, luch, Hawluch!"
Sycamore puts his mug on the coffee table and decides that the only thing to do is to right this wrong by checking up on Luchy before he ends up getting frostbite or something.
"Hawwwwluch!"
Rhyhorn looks up from his 'doghouse', but he's too tired to do anything of interest. Instead he just lets out a simple grunt before returning to his nap, "Rhhhhhyhoooorn..."
"Uh, hey, Luchy is it? Have you been up in that tree all night long?"
The bird nods without turning to face him, "HAAAAAAAAWLUCH!"
Sycamore cocks his head at him, "But you're shivering, come inside, we have the heater on!"
"Haaaaawluch!" with a defiant cry, he refuses the offer.
"Hn... You're still waiting for him to come back, aren't you?"
Luchy flails his fist, "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!"
Professor Sycamore can't help but feel that the Hawlucha doesn't really understand the purpose of a journey, and how it pales in comparison to say, a simple shopping trip to the grocery store. He has to break the hard truth to the bird.
"You know, he's not gonna be back for a long while, he went on an adventure and those could last for months, maybe even years. He's not going to come back in a few more hours or even days, it's a lost cause."
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww!"
Luchy has full understanding, and still refuses to go. Sycamore shrugs, it was an honest attempt at something impossible, "Well I tried..." with a defeated sigh, he heads back inside.
"Just make sure to come in eventually, okay?"
"LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!"
A) Luchy reminisces about the cold, dark, and edgy past.
B) Luchy envisions a future without his based owner.
