[Johto, have an intensely displeased (one might even say pissed off) and rumpled looking woman (is that a piece of ceiling tile caught in her hair...?)--glaring daggers at the door that has just been slammed in her face, because that's what you do.
She hadn't even finished asking her questions. Rude, not!Mom. Very rude. At least the strange-looking creature that had been shoved out the door with her was helpful enough to find in the spilled contents of her backpack and hand her this device that looks a lot like a very odd cell phone. It's already on and everything, not that Ziva's noticed, wound up as she is. Her voice is slightly hysterical when she speaks--and definitely agitated, because dammit she has a lot to be agitated about.]
This is absurd! I would think that this was a dream, that I hit my head in the explosion and for some reason I imagine this place instead of somewhere that would make sense...!
[Yup, too agitated to speak English properly it would seem. At least, that doesn't sound like a complete sentence, more like she trailed off mid-thought.]
I cannot believe this. And you...
[She glances down at the Pokemon by her side--though in confusion and not in anger, that seems to have mostly blown out of her.]
You look like something from one of McGee's computer games. [To herself:] Oh...I hope that he is all right.

[she looks sorry to say it though. You look so disappointed.]
[video]
...Right. [Deep breath.] I'm Hiccup, and...this is going to sound weird, but when I first arrived here, you were one of the first people I met. Laila was yours, but she came to me when you disappeared about-- [Quick, sad mental calculation.] --six months ago.
[video]
[She smiles slightly. A lot had happened in the last six months, and it wasn't even certain that it had only been six months.]
Laila...'night'. It sounds like the sort of name I would give to an owl. Even one...as large as you.
[video]
You'll get used to creatures being way bigger than you're used to. You did last time. [He pauses then, glancing over to the large bird.] If you want, you can have her back... She is yours, after all.
[video]
[...not that she has many standards to judge Giant Freaking Owls by. She looks happy? HOW DO YOU TELL IF A BIRD IS HAPPY.]
When next we meet, perhaps I will take that offer.
