[Newt is a bit worn down himself, though it's mostly from traversing about other people's dreams in an attempt to help in whatever way he can.

He manages a smile at the sight of Ivy all the same, a gentle one as Queenie, who's settled beside him, waves at the familiar young woman.]

Pamela, it's very good to hear from you. [A pause as he looks her over.] I am willing to be you've been having just as much fun as the rest of us?

[She looks confused for moment before her eyes flicker in recognition.]

Oh, you mean the dreams everyone's been talking about. Luckily, my rest has been relatively peaceful. [She points upwards and tilts the camera where he can see a Phantump and a large Pumpkaboo protectively circling her head.] Snaggy and Pepo were rather determined to keep the interlopers at bay.

I did attempt to search the forest but it didn't yield much. [She brushes a hand through her red hair and speaks casually.] No, I suffer from SAD. But it's an annual thing.

[Ivy gives him another smile.] It appears you'd benefit from a rest more than I would.

[That gets a look of relief crossing his face.]

I am very glad to hear that, Pamela. I was lucky enough to avoid nightmares of my own, as well, but it seems that many others weren't quite as lucky.

[He needed to touch base with Armin and make sure the young man was okay, speaking of which.]

Sad? Did something upset you? [Sorry, Ivy. That sort of thing wasn't, well, a thing where he's from.]

I'll be alright. Just been rather busy with all this forest nonsense. I, ah, attempted to speak with the Pokemon responsible but it didn't work out in my favor, I'm afraid.

Oh, Newt. You're adorable. No, it's seasonal effective disorder. It effects my mood and energy levels. It's rather... Bad for me during the fall. But luckily mine tends to pick up by mid winter.

[She sends him a wink.] Consider yourself lucky, I don't tend to socialize much when it's in effect.

[A small orange head appears by her arm as she talks.] Yes, they weren't the most talkative of creatures. And they certainly seemed to put a lot of my babies on egde.

[A sheepish look touches his face as he ducks his head, clearing his throat.]

My apologies. I've never heard of such a thing. Is it something that's always happened to you?

[It sounded rather dreadful--

Oh why did you have to add a wink? That finally gets him blushing some.]

I..I rather enjoy talking to you, Pamela. I wouldn't call it lucky not to hear from you.

[That took a lot out of him to admit, okay.

His momentary embarrassment starts to melt away when that little orange head appears, Newt making a thoughtful sound.] No, not at all. Not even with other Pokemon. [A small smile appears.] Hello there, little one.

Yes. Like I said, every year. Though, I'll admit it's not been as insufferable this time.

[She keeps her eyes fixed on him.] Well, that certainly is a relief. Afterall, talking to you is the only way I can placate not being able to meet you in person.

[The Charmander squeaks in shock at suddenly being brought into the spotlight of the conversation and tries to hide behind Ivy's elbow. Meanwhile, Ivy suddenly has the most playful smirk across her face.] Oh, I haven't introduced you.

[Ivy picks up the little creature who bashfully hides his face behind his hands.] I found this little one in Mt. Motar, looking very lost and alone. Tyler and I have gotten very attached to him.

[She strokes the top of the lizard's smooth head.] Newt, this is Newt. [Bright blue eyes peer out from behind claws curiously.]

[Pamela you really need to stop that he's not going to be able to handle meeting you in person at this rate.]

Ah--yes well....l-likewise.

[Oh god did he really just say that?

That playful smirk has Newt looking momentarily wary, eyeing her curiously as she picks the bashful little Charmander up.]

He looks like a rather--

[Wait.

Newt chokes on his words, face lighting up.]

You--I....yes--um...H-hello, Newt. It's a, ah, pleasure. A pleasure.

[Ivy chuckles at his reaction.]

Don't you think it's just the most perfect name for him?

[The Charmander shyly takes his namesake in from behind the bar of claws, before he's momentarily distracted by Ivy scratching under his chin. The fire type makes a pleased purring noise and swings its tail.]

Such an adorably shy, handsome boy.

[She croons at it and places a kiss on its snout. 'Newt' gives a happy cry and settles against her like a child with its mother, still blinking large blue eyes at big!Newt.]

[This is both the cutest thing he's witnessed in some time and the most embarrassing, in a way. He can definitely understand why Ivy picked the name she did and he's flattered, truly.

He just...this woman. She's going to be the death of him.]

Yes he--it does seem to suit him very well.

[Beside him, Queenie giggles behind her paws, amused at her trainer's reaction. When Ivy calls things are always amusing!]

Such a sweet little child. [She's grinning now as she strokes lil!Newt's cheek.] Like having my own little pocket version of you.

I'm sure he'd be very interested in meeting you too. [She taps the Charmander's nose playfully.] Would you like to meet your namesake my little one?

[Newt gives a little nod and waves at the other trainer bashfully.]

[It takes everything he has not to duck his head and shut the feed off, not wanting to be rude to Pamela because he did count her as a good friend.

But oh this was embarrassing.

He manages a slight wave when the Charmander waves, still unable to properly focus on Ivy herself, though.]

Yes that--I would be very honored to meet your new--this little one--Newt. Little Newt.

[The Charmander chimes at the nickname while Ivy smiles at Newt.] Now, Newt. Don't be embarrassed. I didn't name him to upset you, I liked the qualities you shared.

No I--I wouldn't say I'm..I'm not upset. It's just rather unexpected. That's all.

Oh, good. I'd feel horrible if I'd upset you.

I..sincerely doubt you could ever truly upset me, Pamela. Fluster..yes. Definitely.

But not upset.

Now, however would I fluster you, petal?

[And cue the blushing.]

You..I suppose I'm just..not quite use to individuals that are as forward as you are. Open with your compliments and whatnot.

Well, I can't help complimenting you when I notice things I like about you, dear.

Do you not like it?

No--I mean I do. Like it, that is. I..it's just..surprising, that's all.

Oh good. Well, your surprised face is adorable. I'll have to think of a way to surprise you when we meet so I can see it up close. [Another wink.]
