[The feed is showing Lea's back for a few minutes here, where he's sitting out on the roof of the Goldenrod department store. It's hard to tell what he's doing for a few minutes, until a bar of ice cream can be seen sticking out of his mouth when he turns his head. Quirking a smile at the cameramon of the evening, he pulls the treat out and motions for the pokemon to come closer.]

C'mere, Isa.

[Making a little flare, the fire type sets the gear down on the roof, showing up at the ledge, before hopping up there herself and seating next to her trainer. It almost seems like he's not going to do anything about the gear recording and just let it time out quietly, but after a few minutes of silence, he speaks out loud.]

So, anyone listening? Do you know why sunsets are mostly red?

[Uh oh, Lea. You just mentioned two of Twilight's favorite things. The sun, and science.]

Because of the way light travels. The visual spectrum of light is split up into several colors, which you can see when a rainbow's formed or you use a prism. Of those colors, red is the one with the longest wavelength, so it lasts the longest as the sun sinks over the horizon.

At least, that's the simplest explanation.

[frisbees]

Bingo! I usually just say "because red travels the furthest of all the colors", because most people understand it better. [She gets a big smile for the answer though.]

[friendyousohard]

[She looks just a bit embarrassed at realizing that her "simple" explanation... wasn't, really. She manages to laugh at herself though.]

Oh, yeah that would be a simpler way to say it, wouldn't it?

[frisbees]

[Laughing lightly.] Don't worry about it, it just helps me remember all the right terminology.

[friendyousohard]

Well that way of speaking just comes naturally to me, really. I tend to use the most scientific word imaginable just out of habit, and sometimes the result is that everyone around me just looks at me like I was speaking Zebra.

[frisbees]

So you're kind of a scientist at heart? [Snickers.] Zebra, huh? Maybe a Blitzle could understand and translate for you.

[friendyousohard]

Absolutely! [Her eyes are practically shining at the thought.] I love finding out new things, cataloguing my findings, reading about what others have discovered... there's nothing better in the world! And that includes the Pokemon here. I could spend days just studying one of my friends here.

[frisbees]

Studying one of your Pokemon? [Clarifying vs a friend as in another trainer around here.] You really do sound like a scientist then with all that.. I mean, I know a few, and they talk the same way and get all excited about things like that.
