Ash walked to the main room, but he was too anxious to sit down. He cast a sad glance over Noctis' pokemon. It was clear they could read his energy, even without aura. He sighed out heavily. Danny brushed past him to take Bean's paw and kiss it, while staying close to Ash.
"It's about Ignis. And, how you guys were raised."

Macavity nodded, his ears lowered. "He and Ash had an argument before Christmas. After that Ash has been...polite. But he won't share stories with Ignis anymore, and Ignis is really curt and short to him." Thankfully Macavity didn't have any great love for Ignis' team but poor little An Toirneach, Ash's Pichu, had quickly declared Ignis' Absol her boyfriend. He really hoped this conversation didn't go the way of that talk. He didn't want to meet his brother in short, uncomfortable meetings.
