[...and severely wounded pride, another reason for downplaying. He puts a hand to the side of his head as he considers the 'what happened' question, grin starting to fade into a frown.]

I don't know what happened, bastard hit me from behind with some Pokemon attack.

[France's expression transforms into one of intense relief when Envy responds. All the relief.]

Oh, God, Envy.

[Private Video 2:3]

[francia]

[He's totally not buying the whole "I'm fine" thing, and it shows on his face as his expression shifts back to one of concern. France gets up from where he's sitting on his bed in the hotel room, moving with the 'Gear with him.]

Do you know where you are? I'll come meet you.

[Private Video 3:3]

[francia]

[He pauses at that last part, eyes widening. The background starts moving faster behind him.]

A Pokemon attack?

[His mind immediately goes to soul-stealing in regards to that.]

[Envy looks kind of relieved himself when France says he'll come. He takes a moment to look around for landmarks; he's not familiar with Saffron like he would have been with, say, Goldenrod.]

I'm close to the tallest building in the middle of the city. I'll wait for you in front of it.

[And at the second question, he nods. He doesn't remember what happened too well, but what else could it have been? ...he's also very determinedly not associating what just happened with the Shedinja incident.] It was something that put me to sleep. Hypnosis, maybe.

[France pauses, having just exited the hotel, looking around briefly before spotting the most probable building that Envy could be referring to.]

I'm on my way.

[The background moves with him as he makes a quick pace towards where he hopes to find Envy, his expression turning contemplative.]

I feel like I remember Hypnosis having a rather profound affect on humans, but I'm not sure why. Has there been an instance of that before?

[Despite Saffron being a large city, the hotel is pretty close to the Silph Co. building. Envy might be able to see France approaching from the east.]

If there has, I didn't know about it. All I know is one minute I was walking, the next there was this creepy noise and a yellow glow, and then I woke up.

[Envy does see him! He raises an arm to make himself seen before walking to meet him as quickly as he can manage. Getting beaten up and then sleeping in the street so long, then running around trying to find the bastard that did this has left him pretty sore.]

Over here!

[Action]

[francia]

[France opens his mouth, eyebrows furrowed slightly at the mention of a yellow glow, before noticing Envy moving towards him. He raises his hand in response, closing the 'Gear and putting it away in his jacket's pocket and hurrying to meet up with him.]

Envy!

[He stops just in front of Envy, putting his hands on Envy's shoulders and looking him over briefly, before drawing him close in a hug that might be a little too tight at least a first.]

Oh, God.

[Action]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy is really, really glad to see him, and gives France a genuine, if tired, half-grin as he approaches. Although...]

--gnkh!

[Yeah that hug is a bit too tight ow.]

France...a little looser...
