[The Gear turns on to show Rika holding up an Umbreon so that it's facing the camera.]

Prince evolved last night. He's done very well so far, but it's exciting to see him evolve.

[Rika smiles at the Umbreon before addressing the Gear again.] I would like to thank everyone who gave me presents for Christmas. I hope everyone had a good holiday and enjoyed spending time with friends and family. This has been my second Christmas here, and it was just as fun this year as it was last year.

[As Rika takes a breath to say something else, her Umbreon suddenly leaps from her arms and runs out of sight before Rika can move after him. She sighs and a tiny pout has replaced her smile.] Mii... He's still very excited about evolving so he's very energetic right now. I think he wants me to play hide-and-seek with him. I wish he wouldn't decide to play in a city, though.

I suppose it's time to start looking for him. [And with that, Rika cuts the feed.]

(ooc: This is late, but here are Rika's Christmas gifts! They would have been delivered to everyone on Christmas day.)

--ah, he evolved into an Umbreon? I should give him a proper introduction to Ayu...

You should. I think they would enjoy playing together.

Mm... Then the next time I have her on hand, I'll do just that! ... Maybe I should include Espoir and their son as well...

I would like that.

... So they are all a family?

Ah... Y-Yeah. I... somehow wound up with a whole family, even though they belonged to other people at first...

I'm sure they enjoy being part of a family.

... I'm glad that I can keep them together, that much I can agree on. It's a bit depressing when I remember only Ayu originally belonged to me though.

... That's true. It's good that you have them to take care of now rather than them being sent back into the wild.

Mm... Yeah... I don't even want to think about how heart broken Ayu would have been if Espoir wound up set into the wilds. *Comparable to how much he was, most likely.*

Yes. It's good that they're together. I bet they have a lot of fun.

--ah, y-yes! They have a lot of it... Though Ayu is almost always enjoying herself in one way or another...

Really? Does she like to play games like Prince?

With her it's more... she has a constant stream of energy, so she's always running around and clamoring for people to pet her...
