[Tell Armin about it. He's only barely starting to remember their names and be able to tell them apart --some are easier than others-- and the idea that he is now responsible for them is more than a bit daunting.]
Well. Uhm. At first, I thought about finding an experienced breeding and having them take on the pod. But then I realised if I'd do that, I'd have no influence over whether or not Mr Newt's intentions would be carried out and-- [a short inhale] He was important to me, Mr Newt, I mean. I admired him a lot. Even if he is gone here now, I still want to make sure that his dream becomes a reality. So I've decided to keep them but--
[He glances up, looking at Bertolt.]
I don't really know anything about breeding. I've read about it a bit, of course, but I've always focused on being a trainer.
[Do you see where he is going with this, Mr Professional Breeder Friend.]
[Even Bertolt would balk at the idea - while he may not have a lot of experience with water types or much of a desire for larger ones thanks to that darn sea sickness, he couldn't imagine passing them off to someone else if he were in Armin's position.
Still... Hoo boy. Let's think.]
W-Well, uh... You'll need a space big enough to keep them without too much issue. Do you have somewhere in mind? I'm assuming that, uh... That he had a place he was doing all of this at before.
[Bertolt has his place up in Blackthorn for example and even though he hasn't had a good chance to practice breeding full-time up there, he knows the spots his Aggron has laid claim to in terms of territory which could easily come in handy for when those times roll around.]
He did. But that was near Ilex forest, which is too far away.
[Armin lives on the islands, after all. And while he still has travel plans, he also likes his life here enough that he definitely wants to spend his time not-travelling right here.]
I've been looking for a new place for them. There are a lot of small bays and inlets along the coast here, so I am hoping to find someplace with some shelter so they can stay there safely. And of course, I want it to be near enough that I could easily visit them without needing to travel for hours.

[That's a big project.
Really big.]
That's a lot of Lapras.
[Like. A lot. He knows how big they are!]
How, uh... What do you need?
