[After finally getting back to the house himself after being on the road for a month, Chihiro can honestly say that it's good to be home again. All of the Pokemon he left behind while he was gone were happy to see him, particularly his young Joltik and Spinarak. Apparently they had been busy working on practicing the knitting they had learned from Shiruku and had made a whole host of tiny socks for him to see. ...socks so tiny that not even a Pokemon could wear them, but at least they tried.
He had been downstairs in the kitchen with his Linoone at his heels, as usual watching his trainer with his head up and sniffing the air curiously in the event that some tasty snack was dropped, when he heard the pitter patter of the hoard rush down the hallway as they heard a door open. Chihiro puts down the knife he'd been using to spread some jelly on toast to peer into the hallway, brightening when he spots Mondo entering the house.]
Ah, hello, Oowada-kun!
[He's far enough away that he doesn't immediately notice anything wrong, but the way he's carrying himself does cause him to pause.]
