[At such an insolent display, Litten yowls just a little louder. It kicks its back paws upward, clawing at Atsushi's forearm through the fabric. It doesn't seem to do much damage, at least beyond a slight cut in his clothing. It doesn't even seem to faze him, even.

Instead, he's focusing on his new companion's words. He tilts his head to the side, looking perhaps far more amused than he should.]

Is that your ability then? Detecting what others can do?

[lightningfang]

[Despite the enormous size difference, Razor... can't help but lean back ever so slightly at the Litten's reaction. He half expects that thing to go off in an explosion as big as one of Klee's bombs.]

Ability...? [He must mean like Visions, Razor decides.] Oh. No. I use lightning. You have powers? [His head tilts, the PokeGear and instructions all but forgotten.]

[carnyavore]

Lightning? [That's... an oddly vague ability. He thinks about asking more questions but... stays his tongue. Atsushi wasn't a fan of talking about his own ability, after all. It wouldn't be fair to force Razor to do the same.]

But yes, I do. Mine is called "Beast Beneath the Moonlight." I can turn into a tiger. [He reaches down to hold Litten's paw, waving it at Razor.] I look a little like this, kind of. But only sometimes. Other times I'm much bigger! And also white and black.

[lightningfang]

Yes. Claws of lightning.

[Razor nods along, as if this is perfectly normal... for all of a few seconds.]

Wait. You are... really a tiger? Not just... think you are? [Sure, his tone betrays some hidden pain, but he's doing his best not to take it out on Atsushi. If anything, he's equal parts amazed, so his curiosity is honest.]

[carnyavore]

[Atsushi's face falls ever so slightly. He lifts his hand, scratching nervously at the back of his neck. He doesn't look at Razor, but instead at some distant point over his shoulder. His gaze is just as far off.]

I... wish I was pretending, sometimes. But no. [He shakes his head. The motion seems to draw him back into himself.] I would show you but... it doesn't really work here.

[lightningfang]

[On the one hand, Razor can't help but agree that being a tiger would mean... well, being a cat. But that aside, it's still a very capable creature, if one that leads a lonely existence.]

Neither does lightning... [Part of him wants to prod deeper, but it's likely something the boy would only share with close packmates. Better to shake it off and finally bring his Gear into Atsushi's view. He can tolerate the cat smell, though he does stay far enough away that Litten couldn't reach him to lash out.]

You hit this, and this. Attacks for different 'mons.

[Razor's Gear in particular is set to read the screen aloud, so it starts in on various movesets as he scrolls; Houndour's, Rockruff's, Woobat's, Honedge's... He mutes it before it goes on for too long, though, and looks expectantly to Atsushi. Surely if Razor of all people can grasp it, the tiger boy can.]
