[So, Katara up and vanishing was...unexpected, to say the least. Not to mention a bit of a downer. Sure he teased her a lot, but Duncan kind of liked having her around. She was definitely the only person to actually care enough to check on him and his pokémon from time to time, and he could respect that. And if he had such a high opinion of her, he could only imagine how people who actually knew her felt.]
You probably already figured it out, but I guess Katara's gone home. I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but she's still gone.
You two alright? I mean, it's not like I knew her all that well, but you guys seemed pretty close. Figure she'd want me to check in on you, see how you were handling it...
[While he'd usually have Scruffy on his shoulder, today Tweety the Natu was the one keeping him company, perched motionless on his left shoulder. From the look of it, he was relaxing under a tree somewhere just outside Goldenrod, but the specifics were a little hard to nail down.]

So she could go back to...whatever she was up to before. It was probably way more important than travelling around with us. Besides, we still have each other and her pokémon, so we can help her settle right back in whenever she comes back!
[ There, she feels better now. She gives Duncan a little smile. ] How are you handling it?

Still tryin' to figure out what to do with her Pokémon, though. I mean, I already got my own Haunter, and I don't want Scruffy gettin' jealous over me bringin' out another spider.
[The "but it wouldn't be right to ditch them" is definitely implied.]

Maybe your pokémon just need to spend a little more time with hers so they can be friends, too. Then there'll be nothing to be jealous over...

[Well, unexpected departure notwithstanding. Though from what he'd heard, those weren't really something anyone had any control over, so he was willing to cut her slack there.]
And I don't think it'd be that easy. Scruffy's pretty small, and Gressil's like four times his size. Not to mention a whole lot stronger. I don't want him feelin' like I'm replacing him.

[ Still. Friends. B| ]

Um, maaaybe we can let them stay outside until they get a little more friendly... And if they start really getting out of hand, they can just go on a vacation in the PC again.
