He was a great sparring partner, back at the Academy. I wonder how much everyone's changed since then.

[She shrugs, somewhat helpless.] They're all just animals to me, so far. Really strange animals. But then again, I guess animals from Fodlan would seem strange to people from here, so maybe it's just something you get used to.

And anyway, I'm fond of this little guy right here [She tilts her screen to show her Meowth, currently catloafing next to her in the grass.], so I guess it could be a lot worse. I'll just have to learn to rely on Captain instead of lances.

He'll love that. He's mostly been pouring his love of training into pokémon instead of weapons. Although he and the others have been making wooden weapon replicas to spar with. I've checked with what amounts to the law in this land, though, and I'm not allowed to have anything even close to a real bow except on formal archery ranges...that's gonna go for you too, obviously. People aren't expected or even allowed to carry weapons around here. Fighting is either done hand-to-hand, or through pokémon.

Anyway, you'll find out they're really different from animals back home the more you interact with them. They understand human speech, for instance, even if they don't talk back. I had mounts back home, you know that, but these guys - when you can communicate with them, and they're actively looking out for you, they feel more like full partners than any horse or wyvern back home could.

[He laughs at the sight of the Meowth.] Aww, he's a cute little guy! Felix will like him - I swear that guy's on a quest to collect every cat-shaped pokémon he can find.

They grow on you quickly, that's for sure. I just woke up here this morning and he's already earned himself a name. Sounds like there's room for some kind of competition, so I'm sure my skills won't grow too dull, and I can pick up some new ones while I'm at it.

Shame about the bows, though. Be those archery clubs cost a hefty sum to join.

Maybe, maybe not. I haven't checked them out yet, so I can't speak for any kind of entry fee.

That said, it's not too hard to make money here. Not that I really had to worry about that sort of thing back home, but I don't have the advantage of any noble coffers to dip into here, so I've been taking odd jobs.
