[Hello Riverview! The feed blinks on to show Stephen, who might be looking somewhat under the weather here, paler than normal, the dark circles under his eyes a bit deeper. But that's not what he's here about, so like fuck he's acknowledging that!]

So is there anyone around who's a bit more up on Pokemon than I am? I was told they evolved as a method of growth, but I was unaware it was such a... sudden thing. One minute Wong was normal size, the next he's, well-

[The camera is turned, showing Wong, who is no longer the Lillipup that folk might remember but a Herdier. He's also three times his previous size, as seen by the fact that sitting up he was barely fitting on the small pillow-style dog bed just visible.]

Also, anyone who knows how to get him to stop doing this would be appreciated. [The camera pans lower to show that the dog bed was in fact upside down, having been pushed off the nearby sofa onto Sirius. The black lab hasn't moved even with bed and other dog on him, a long-suffering look sent Stephens way, as well as a slow thump of his tail.

He'd move but he's had enough of Wong's bamboozling for one day, thanks.]

I've had it and I may still be battling it. [But her body heals rapidly even with the nanites trying to break it down.] You needn't worry about infecting me.

[A pause as she considers.] Can I bring you anything? It isn't easy getting around when you feel so poor.

[She nods and gives a small smile.]

Good to meet you too.

[Well that was that then. He just nodded briefly at the reassurance, a wry smile on his face at the offer she made.]

I wouldn't say no to some tea, if you're of a mind to make a stop. I'm in the Sanctum Sanctorum, it's a rather singular building, hard to miss. [Especially with the ridiculous saturation of magic. But he'll still send her an address either way.]

Wong will certainly be happy for visitors.

[Her fellow angels would laugh if they thought of her picking up or even drinking tea. But she understands the comfort of a hot mug of chamomile or lavender tea, so it's their loss, really.]

I'll find my way with the tea. [She needs to stretch her wings anyway. Being cooped up sick isn't good on the muscles.]

Is he feeling alright? This...sickness...can't cross species like that, can it?

[Tea is excellent, so it's entirely their loss.]

I haven't seen any signs of it, and with all the animals in this place, I certainly would have noticed. It's gone through most of the residents now so there's been ample chances and no symptoms from any of the pets or the mice.

[So what if a blood-soaked, six-winged angel enjoys it? That's fine.]

That's comforting. I wouldn't want to watch them suffer. [Not that she likes watching people suffer, but at least people know more of what is happening to them.] Give me ten minutes.

[Alexiel makes good on her word, arriving with a canister of tea. Her wings are unfurled, three on each side, giving her a rather impressive appearance. But she curls them closer to her body as she enters the building.]
