"That's a good name for a ninja, at least..." Arthur, looking troubled, thinks for a few moments, before speaking again - this time quiet, and emotional. "Kenji, before I ask you to sign my contract - and I am going to ask you - I want to make sure that you're completely ok with a few things. I'm... quite an odd person, or so I'm told. I'm anti-social, I prefer research to human contact, I'm logical to a fault - there's a lot, apparently. There is a lot I want to do in my life, and the Mamonomon I keep by my side will be an essential part of acheiving that. I'm going to rely on them - you - a great deal."

Here he pauses, straightening himself, and leaves his awkwardness behind, his tone shifting to something more naturally confident - even though he doesn't seem to realize it. "So here's my proposal, even before you think to sign a contract: You will become my first Mamonomon. You will be my right hand - an extension of my will. You will strive to become the greatest Mamonomon you can be, no matter how long it takes, or how hard you have to work."

"In exchange; I will become your Master. I will teach you to be the best Mamonomon you can be, in any and all ways that I can. I will help you achieve your goals, whatever they might be. Perhaps most importantly -" He wears a small, absent smile on his face as he looks down at the young Froakie. "We both will trust the other completely. I hope you accept, Kenji, because I can't wait to be your friend."

He pauses like this for a moment, caught in the moment, before seeming to realize that this is the longest he's spoken to another in months. "Wow I hope this works, or I'm going to look like an idiot... Why the hell did I just ramble on like that??? ARRGH???" He tries not to let any of his inner turmoil show on his face as he wait's for Kenji's response.

(That last paragraph is somewhat how I felt writing this one, lol - trying to be serious always makes me feel like I'm making a fool out of myself)
