Second Injection. [video - backdated to the night of the 9th.]

I've been thinking about words.

[Hello, Route! Today, this nurse is blood- and static-free, and she's also tied her hair back in a loose ponytail. Seems she's quite comfortable. Her tone is more one of musing, than confusion, which is always a step-up in her book.]

Things can have a price, but they can also have a worth. And both of those are good things, generally, and reflect something's value. So why is it good when something is priceless, but not when it's worthless?

[Lisa shakes her head.]

I suppose it's not important. But--

[She's cut off by a sharp series of taps at her window behind her, and she turns to see...a Hoothoot. And frowns. That thing sure is staring at her pretty hard...]

Again? Maybe I shouldn't have fed it...

_{[Fortunately, Heather looks quite a lot more stable than the last time they talked. Not bright and sunshiney like she was when she first greeted Lisa to Johto, but... better, anyway.]}

Very philosophical...

_{[Then she catches sight of the Hoothoot and grins a little.]}

I'm starting to think it's a tradition for us to wind up getting followed around by those things...

Gonna catch it?

Sounds pretty thought-provoking. Wish I had an answer, but I don't really think I do.

[A pause. Arceus save us, he's not really going to-]

Have you ever heard this proverb before? [Dammit. Don't you ever learn, Otacon?] 'A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring.' See, what this one means is...er...I-it's related to the saying 'when it rains, it pours'. Probably. And they both mean that weather is really unpredictable.

[Otacon please. Please. You're getting two proverbs wrong at once.]

So if it starts sprinkling, it's probably safe to assume it'll start raining a lot harder not long after. But even bad weather can't last forever, and it can change to bright sunshine with almost no warning.

[...i swear to god this man is actually a genius.]

Why are you babbling about words?

'S 'bout the price being the money value of things, and worth being something more than that, ain't it? [He scratches his cheek thoughtfully.] That's how I see it, at least. You've got things that are so good no money can buy 'em and that's 'priceless' for ya, but on the other hand--

[A sudden pause, in which Crow shakes his head with a smile.]

... Never mind. There ain't things that would be really 'worthless', after all.

Come now, my dear - it's all a matter of connotation; surely everyone understands this.

[...well, since she's asking, clearly not; either that or she's attempting to be philosophical. Or Descole's missing the forest for the trees again. He's. Prone to that.]

Price is monetary value; worth is how useful something is to someone else. Not being able to describe the former is a good thing. The latter is quite a different story.

[There's a Togepi staring at you Lisa. Someone managed to hijack the communicator again.]

_{[A Wild Henry Appears and it listens to Lisa's observation. He didn't have an answer for her--not a useful one anyway. He opens his mouth to blurt out some disjointed observation of his own but stops]

[HOOT HOOT! DB OH SWEET HOLY FROSTED FLAKES THE OWLS WERE BACK]}

Get out of there, it'll eat your eyes!
