"A-A communication device?" Poinsettia managed to crane their head around, their face lighting up upon seeing a black device placed on their back.

"Oh! That was what it was?" Poinsettia said, their eyes wide. They then looked down at their paws, and realized that they had something that Donnie (or at least the ship's crew of robotic beasts) called a "bubble bracelet".

"No wonder the r-robots who work here were tossing me around when I first got here," Poinsettia looked to the side sheepishly. "I panicked and I ended up running away . . . maybe I should go in and apologize to them for causing them trouble once we call my roommate and get the garden set up. I wouldn't be super surprised if they were still looking for me to see if I was OK."

Poinsettia then tried to rotate around to reach the communication device on their back, but to no avail.

"I-I can't reach, Donnie," Poinsettia puffed out their cheeks in defeat. "Do you think you can type in his frequency number into the device so I can call him? I have the frequency number ready."

"So I've heard," Poinsettia said, nodding along slowly. "Sometimes, I tend to pass by that room containing the portal thing and I would usually hear about other people in passing."

Poinsettia almost jumped when Donatello crouched down to her level, but settled when he began setting things up on his tablet. It's hard not to blame him for saying that they weren't the most aerodynamic in their Land Forme. It was no wonder they had no idea the communication device was placed onto their back until now!

Upon seeing the red light blink active, Poinsettia instantly froze, near speechless as they stared into the light. But after registering the rest of Donnie's talk about setting up voice commands to their communication device, Poinsettia cleared their throat awkwardly and provided a voice sample as requested.

Hopefully, that will do for now.

“U-Uh —“

Poinsettia whetted their lips nervously. For the first time ever, someone has asked them a rather peculiar question. And of all the questions Donnie could’ve asked them … it was if they knew how to read.

Now that’s something really worth considering. Sure, they can speak, but does it really matter if they can read or not? They may be able to say anything, but can they actually read anything?

Poinsettia attempted to recall any instances of them reading anything to no avail.

Despondently, they had no choice but to admit the following sentence:

“Donnie, would you be extremely upset if I told you that I have never read anything in my entire life? Compared to all the other people who are vastly bigger than I am, I’m just a little creature, so how would I be able to read anything at all?”

Or at least two sentences, that is. Poinsettia would understandably be unsurprised if Donnie was able to find and point out the irony of it all.

Poinsettia understandably let out a sigh of relief, but kept her face tense for a short while.

Frankly, they weren't even supposed to talk as a simple critter of humble origins. But ever since they came out of the Space Bridge, suddenly being able to talk was now something they can do out of nowhere. It wouldn't be surprising if some of the more scientific people on board started looking into that matter.

"I-I mean, I can write," Poinsettia piped up in a soft-spoken tone, "but I have a feeling that I might be spelling and writing a lot of things wrong, so I will see by the next time I go into your room, my reading skills would've been improved by now."

Upon seeing the tablet be set down in front of them, Poinsettia spoke a command to the tablet to call in their room-mate.

Takes place after Poinsettia's voicemail message to Silver Justice (linked)

Once they have completed recording their message to Silver Justice's inbox , Poinsettia quietly hung up from the voice messaging system and then looked up at Donatello, who was now on the second level of his dorm.

"Thank you so much for the help, Donnie," Poinsettia called out to the turtlely boy, the flowers sprouting out of their grass-like fur in response to their own gratitude towards him. "If it hadn't been for you, I'll still be struggling a lot with technology."

Then, after a brief moment of pondering, their face lit up brightly, "Ah, and I almost forgot! I just left my roommate a voicemail and if he ever calls back, I'll let you know about the details so we can start building up that garden!"

"And besides . . ." Poinsettia spoke out a voice command for the time, and blinked back in surprise, "it's getting late, and I should get back soon . . . but thank you so much again! Is there anything I can do for you in return before I go back to my dorm?"

Poinsettia observantly watched as Donnie landed gracefully onto the floor. It's not surprising that a turtle as smart as the Pokémon professors back at home would retrofit his shell into a personal jetpack, and it's especially admirable with how skillful he is for his age. He certainly has a lot of potential in the future!

They then hobbled over to Donnie and let him slip on the custom-made sling bag onto their body. Once the tablet was inserted into the clear pocket, Poinsettia's eyes sparkled as they tested out the strap.

"Donnie, you made this for me?" Poinsettia was honestly surprised that the flowers were still up on their fur, especially after Donnie helped them out on getting that bag on. But regardless, Donnie isn't just someone they have met on board, but also a very grateful, kind, and super helpful friend.

"I — th-thank you, Donnie," Poinsettia said, almost tearing up with joy, "I'll be sure to treasure your gift as long as long as I am here!"

Poinsettia noticed the way Donnie's facial expression waver for a slight moment. It made them worry for him, especially with how young he is to be living on his own without any parents to protect him. He was very lucky to have his siblings with him.

But then —

Oh.

Oh.

It all makes sense now. Not only do they have no family or friends from their own world and species to stay close to, but their small size made them more vulnerable to those who are more than happy to step all over them. Now they can't have that, could they? Especially with all the crew-mates they have met and befriended so far.

With that in mind, Poinsettia carefully notes to be sure that they don't make any of them worry.

"I can sense that you worry about me a lot given how small I am, Donnie," they addressed the young turtle boy, "and I'll be sure to keep myself safe so we can hang out together more often!"

Poinsettia then walked up to the doors, but not before turning around to face Donnie once more.

"And thank you so much for helping me out, I really appreciate the effort you go through in helping others out. The Professors back at home would love to meet you if they ever come here some day."

Poinsettia tipped their head at Donnie, now smiling brightly at him.

"I guess the same thing can go for you too, Donnie. May you and your family stay well, safe, and happy."

Then, they stepped out of the dorm room and into the hallways.

The next time they meet and cross paths again, they ought to talk to Donnie some time soon! Whoever he is, Donnie is definitely someone they can really trust deep down!
