Perhaps. He has taken the gear on a number of occasions. Even so, it doesn't explain his urge to wander off on his own. I've lost track of his whereabouts numerous times already.

[Did someone say long nose? HAVE A CLOSE UP VIEW OF HIS FACE because Drowzee just loves dat gear.]

Wait, what were you trying to do?

[ she missed all that mumbling. ]

[he presses his lips together like he's trying really hard not to laugh. he probably looks pretty silly.]

... Do you need some help?

I'll still be checking up on him... but I promised Merlin I'd help with the festival.

[I LEAVE FOR ONE WEEK...]

Are you okay?

[At least the video is of a very flustered Theo, now, and Drowzee is in the background poking at some grass.]

I'm very sorry for Igor's behavior; he seems to just do as he pleases for the most part.

Yes, but it would save me quite a bit of worry if he would just stay stationary when I tell him to.

[Derpy pokemon are derpy. Theo himself is staring at the amazing ~diagonal~ Murkrow.]

[HELP ;A; AQUA, PLEASE GET YOUR MOMMA SWABLU ON THE LINE.]

S-sort of--

[Wings behind her head. Black wings. lol weird headdress.]

Did something happen when you first got here that would make him not follow you?

[She's staring at the Drowzee now.]

We'll have lots of fun, I promise.

[He ponders for a moment and...]

Not that I'm aware of. Upon my arrival, I didn't do anything that would warrant that kind of behavior. If I recall, he had wandered off on our first meeting of his own volition, as well.

...I will never understand the minds of these creatures.
