[It helps to give Hide something busy to do, at least...otherwise he's usually trying to get into everything, or get Kaneki's attention to do something else with him. He's very much like a toddler, that way.

Speaking of, he seems to have gotten a good enough look at those drawings to want to give it a try for himself, and suddenly he's trying to slip down from Kaneki's lap to the floor.]

Wait- hold on...I'm sorry, give me a minute.

[Kaneki says to Ash before the Gear suddenly turns upwards to face the ceiling as he hefts the Pokemon in his arms, carrying him over to the desk near the window. There, he sits Hide down as he pulls out the chair for himself, sitting down and carefully tugging the Gear from Hide's paws so he can prop it up against the wall.

Satisfied, the Smeargle grabs the end of his tail and immediately starts to draw as Kaneki looks back at the screen.]

It is pretty enjoyable, yeah. I've actually been trying to teach him how to write a little, too...but I'm not sure how much progress he's actually making.
