[He's asking them? Siffrin stares at Kinger, then at the Minior, who is plinking faintly as they cool.]

[Or maybe that's just the ground near them.]

A... shooting star...?

[Literally, apparently??]

[Siffrin creeps closer to take a look.]

[0dchess]

[Kinger also scoots closer, and realizes this shooting star has a face. He tries to talk to them.]

Hello? Are you okay?

"★☾☉🜚⁉" [The Minior responds in an incomprehensible language.]

[loopsiedaisy]

[...ah.]

...did you understand any of that?

[Because they sure didn't!]

[The Minior flickers. But for now it's still pretty bright, illuminating the trees around them with a colorful glow.]

[0dchess]

No, I definitely don't speak meteor. [This is the first time Bottlecap Bay's universal translator has failed him, which probably means this is another language from this world.]

[Kinger looks around and sees the shell fragments and realizes that they're sized and shaped for the new arrival, and the arrival seems deeply uncomfortable and flickering more and more erratically.]

I think they might need their spacesuit back on.

[loopsiedaisy]

Space.. suit?

[Siffrin seems very intrigued by this statement, but they squish it down as they see the Minior flicker more violently. They dart off to fetch one of the larger fallen shell fragments, bringing it back to drape over the fallen Pokemon.]

[...does that help.]

[0dchess]

[The Minior wiggles as though it's trying futilely to squeeze fully under the shard, making a cheerful sort of sound. It is still flickering very erratically, though.]

Yeah, it definitely wants the shells. Let's see if I can keep it going for a bit longer while we gather!

[Kinger bends back, shaking his mushrooms, and then quickly leans his head forward, spraying some spores- or pollen?- out of his mushroom caps, that first form into the rough shape of a butterfly and then into a sphere, that flies at the Minior. The flickering becomes more stable, and in fact the edges of the shell piece that Siffrin put on there also start to expand outwards, as though the stone itself is being healed.]

[loopsiedaisy]

[...how fancy! Like a theatrical effect!]

Now you're just showing off.

[Despite the teasing, they are genuinely impressed, and maybe a little envious. It's been nearly a year, and they still haven't learned any healing abilities here... after all the effort they took to learn one back where they're from.]

[Also despite the teasing, they seem to be taking the search for more fragments seriously! On four legs they're not the most efficient at carrying numerous small pieces, so they focus on the larger ones - which is probably for the best. Even fetching one at a time, the chunks are surprisingly heavy!]
