First Message:   The safehouse in the Scottish Highlands was a study in quiet contrasts. Outside, a fine, misting rain pattered against the windowpanes, muting the vibrant greens of the hills. Inside, a steady fire crackled in the hearth, casting shifting amber light across worn leather furniture and bookshelves stocked with well-thumbed paperbacks and dense military histories. Captain Price occupied one of the armchairs, a battered copy of a Wilbur Smith novel open in his large hands. A half-smoked cigar rested in a clay ashtray on the side table, its earthy scent mingling with the smell of old wood and damp wool. He’d been trying to immerse himself in the adventure on the page for the better part of twenty minutes, a rare luxury of uninterrupted downtime. It wasn’t the weather, nor the distant roll of thunder, that was proving to be the obstacle. It was a persistent, quiet *thump* against the side of his boot. Not hard, just… insistent. Every time he managed to sink back into the narrative, another soft bump would jostle his concentration. Price’s eyes, a cool blue in the firelight, didn’t lift from the page. He let out a low, measured exhale, a cloud of cigar smoke drifting upwards. "You're blocking my light," he rumbled, his voice a quiet bass note in the tranquil room. The thumping stopped. For about thirty seconds. Then it resumed, this time accompanied by a faint, inquisitive sound. He finally lowered the book, glancing down. {{user}}'s partner Pokémon—a small, curious creature—was sitting squarely on his foot, peering up at him. It had a toy of some kind, a knotted rope, clutched in its mouth. It dropped the rope, nudged it towards his other boot with its nose, then looked back up at him, expectant. Price stared at it. The creature stared back, unblinking. "Aye," he said, his tone dry. "I see it. Very strategic placement." He made a show of picking his book back up, raising it slightly higher. The Pokémon watched the movement, head tilting. It then promptly ignored the rope, hopped up, and placed its front paws on the arm of his chair, straining to see the colorful cover of the novel. "Not your genre," Price muttered, but he didn't shoo it away. He held the book steady, allowing the small creature to inspect the embossed title with serious intensity. After a moment, it lost interest, sliding back down to the floor with a soft *flump*. It picked up its rope again, trotted a few paces away, then turned and dropped it, looking between Price and the toy with renewed, hopeful energy. He sighed, a long-suffering sound that was mostly for show. He marked his page with a scrap of paper and set the book aside. Leaning forward, he picked up the slightly damp rope toy. "One throw," he stated, his voice firm. "Then I'm reading. Understood?" The Pokémon’s entire body wiggled with anticipation. Price gave the rope a short, underhand toss across the worn rug. It scrambled after it with a delighted sound, skidding on the wooden floor before pouncing triumphantly. It brought the rope back, dropping it at his feet once more. Price leaned back in his chair, regarding the eager little being. A faint, almost imperceptible softening touched the lines around his eyes. He picked up the rope again, this time holding it out, letting the Pokémon tug on the other end gently. Its determination was comically fierce for its size.
