[He does! Bless you, Razor. He'll eventually get into using video like a normal person, he's just...nervous. Best to just stick with what seems easiest, he's bad enough at just texting people.
Still, it's a bit of a surprise to hear from him. He'd only just this morning gotten an invite to it himself, which was even more surprising. What kind of people invite strangers to a big party, much less something labeled as a "prom"? Like yes, it wouldn't be the first he's been to, but the last one he'd attended was...intense. He doubts this will be like that, but...]
I hadn't decided yet...I don't know if I could afford anything nice to wear if I did go.
[BUT...he would like to meet Razor, now that he thinks about it. A fellow wolf...or the closest he will come to that.]
Oh, no- I mean...I have clothes. They just aren't...nice clothes.
[They're nice enough? But not nice enough for a prom, and Legosi is thinking like...highschool prom, that sort of thing. He doubts most people would be coming up wearing t-shirts and jeans.]
I will be honest, I'm...not sure how interactive I would be, but before I came here I had been trying to be more social.
[He'd been doing well, it's just hard when you're dealing with so much else on top of everything.]
But...I would like to meet you, if you will be there.
[On one hand, having a room to himself would just make sense. He's been alone for the most part so far, other than when Chip came to see him once he reached Cherrygrove. On the other...going to a party entirely alone is a bit sad. And he's only enjoyed the time he's been spending with his neighbors at the apartment complex...
In the end, he decides not to think on it too deeply.]
In that case, I wouldn't mind...assuming your friend doesn't mind.
Oh, doesn't mind. Already asked. Hope we are near her, but, we can... "hang on." [That's how that goes, right? He's pretty sure...] And, if human building is scary, I know best spots outside.
[Speaking to Razor leaves Legosi wondering more and more just what wolves are like, exactly, where he is from. If they find buildings to be scary...]
That sounds good. I do like being outside...and I've been enjoying finding new types of bugs here that don't exist back home. Or, "Pokemon", anyway. I'm hoping there will be some at this party, too.
Bug 'mons... What kind? Maybe you can meet Jinx 'mons. Jasper, Sterling, Freeze-a... [His recollection of their names gets worse as he speaks.] Um, they are like spider, bee, and cricket!
Right now, I have Pokemon that resemble a spider, pond-skipper, and hercules beetle. I would like to meet these other ones as well. I like all sorts of insects, but I think beetles are my favorite.
[Ah, there's that odd sensation in his spine again...the urge to wag a tail that no longer exists.]
The best way to understand, I think, is to take the time to watch them for yourself. They are surprisingly intricate creatures...they aren't as intelligent, but they can do things you wouldn't expect without seeing it for yourself. They live, breed, and fight to survive the same as anyone else.
They don't. Insects cannot speak in my world. To tell you the truth, I am not sure how much they do understand...but they're still important to me anyway.
[And even if they're not sentient and serve as a food source above all else for most carnivores, that won't detract from their importance to Legosi.]
It is more that they make for a good...stand in, when you want to be alone.

My friend... we are going to the, um, "prom." Want to know if you go. Or need a place to stay. There.

... Maybe. Big places with humans... not so great. But, there is lots to do outside. Running, laying in sun, 'mons to meet...

Yes. We can meet.

And...I have found they make very good listeners.

They listen...? Do they talk also?
