Sois notre invité ~

Talon briefly looked at the man but gave a nod “you uh…in trouble or something?” He spoke softly in case he really was being followed best not to let the pursuer know.

        🍰 It wasn’t out of the question to have people of ill intent. Though it was mostly his fault for being overly friendly or just how he dressed. Crime was still a thing but he didn’t face it in the countryside, just in the cities. So strange with so many police stations. 

              Keeping calm the best he could he let out a shaky breath and tried not to look back. Looking to his knew companion he smiled the best he could. 

         🍰 Jules knew that the Gangar had always been like this , ever sense he raised if from a Gastly. At least he was in high spirits for a spirits, far better then him being a terror for sure. 

                The gentleman gave another small bow as he then gestured to follow. Noise radiated inside the cafe but there were a few people devoted to their own corners. Space wasn’t something lacking despite how small the store front seemed.   “There’s a nice a little shady spot on the back patio that would be divine, lack of noise but can still enjoy the ambiance of the cafe itself.” Jules noted the joy and irritation the trainers pokemon took to. Best to keep both patrons happy after all. 

                He didn’t lie on the matter it was a nice little spot under a canopy of lilac. Gesturing to the table he was then joined back by Gangar who took to it’s proper placement holding out the menu’s. Jules watched him closely so he didn’t pull the menus back as a joke, to far common to let his guard down about.    🍰

           ❀. — It was odd being treated with so much respect. He wasn’t used to that coming into a cafe. The place must be more high end than he thought. That or this guy was just really friendly and out to impress. And it was working. 

The two of them took a look around the cafe as they followed after the owner. The place was full of life and the people there seemed pleased with what they got. It was making a good impression on the thief. Good to see he was getting his money’s worth. ❝ Sounds good to me. Sure my buddy here would like that. ❞ 

The spot seemed to be just perfect for both of them. He looked up at the flowers with a certain fondness to his expression. The Sneasel on his shoulder hopped off him and onto the table before he could sit down. “You were right, this is perfect. Quiet, nice.” He flashed a grin as he plopped down on a seat across from his partner. 

❝ Ah, look at ya. Not only are you good at makin’ faces, you help too. ❞ Lilac complemented the Gangar. He pulled the menus out of it’s hands before they could be taken away, opening one in front of his partner but not himself. “Here, here, take an early tip.” Not as fancy as what the Pokemon could get here but he still pulled out a Poketreat from his pocket and offered it to the Gangar. 

             “We have a meal of the day but I like to ask if there’s a preference for you and your Pokemon before placing something clearly not welcomed. After all I know that even if I've served one guest that dose not mean they’ll have the same pallet.” It was a note that one might like sweet the other sour or even more savory. 

❝ Winning against me will be your milestone. ❞

        🍰 The raven hair brought a finger to his chin in thought about it. Blue, it was a very cooling color in retrospect. Something that had something spring to it allowing one to take on the day after the heat zapping energy from them. 

              “If that’s the case there a few things one could do with blue just the same. Smoothies, a nice blueberry dessert ….ooooo jello~ “ Jules happily chimed thinking about the possibilities of that one.  

            All the gentleman could do was chuckle at the brothers for the moment before putting his hand up. He wasn’t insulted for such an answer. “ He has quite the right perspective on such a thing. Some of us are not easily in favor of the sun in the slightest. Literal in a sense but truthful so he’s not wrong. In fact I met a man in Alola who made wonderful aloe and coconut smoothies to heal ones ‘insides’ the same as ones ‘outsides’. ”  🍰

Dessert ? Both brothers had to admit that they hadn’t thought about that part of it, even if it did make sense, what with desserts being warming or refreshingly cool depending.

“ I know that, it’s just … ” Shielbert slowly growing flustered manages to make Sordward chuckle as he now also takes a sip of the iced beverage, and he rests a hand on his younger brother’s shoulder. That at least stops him from growing more incoherent in his attempts to explain why it felt silly, and Sordward decides to take over for now.

“ I have to admit, coconut and aloe always remind me more of external skincare than they do internal … it doesn’t surprise me that it could be both though. ” Now that has Sordward thinking, as if wondering whether or not he’d be able to try such a thing without feeling like he’s eating beauty products.

… well. He supposes it’s not something he’s tried, so perhaps he could at least give it a shot.

             “I’m sorry if I've upset you sir it was not my intention. Perhaps I might have been a bit off topic in my attempt to have a simple chatter.” He did feel bad as Shielbert tried to finish his communication. 

              At the mention of skincare Jules had to agree,” One is not opposed to the idea of aloe and coconut for wonderful facial care. We all know for a bit coconut was a big one for not only such things but hair care......though there was a bit of a problem with that. It’s an oil as well after all and so could cause problem as much as it helps.” 

         🍰 “Ah, yes. I guess that is true. Do pardon me on such accounts ….I've never really known the full wonder of ‘chase for badges’. I have a few but…..I know many more threw my profession and have trekked many miles but……hmm. How dose one put it. I’ve never been much of a fighter. I grew so close to my pokemon that I hate seeing them hurt. I know that trainers do as well……but i’m to soft of heart.” Jules softly explained on the matter knowing that what Marnie was doing was courageous and at such a tender age as well. 

             There was a pause as the pieces all came together, it was slow going but one had to give the man credit for at least keeping up. That made more sense if the younger sibling of a gym leader was making her way up in ranks it was truly a momentous occasion. 

             “I suddenly understand their enthusiasm~”  🍰

“They mean the best, but too much can lead to chaos. Which is what no one wants. Making themselves looking like hooligans than fans sometimes. It’s an easy mistake to make, so I don’t fully blame them, I’m sure things will calm a bit more in the future.”

              “Yes, lets.” There was no problem with such insistence being he was the one that offered and then stood around chatting. It was his curse as a social butterfly after all. As they started off to the cafe he gave a little nod as the Gangar grumbled. 

Talon briefly looked at the man but gave a nod “you uh…in trouble or something?” He spoke softly in case he really was being followed best not to let the pursuer know.

        🍰 It wasn’t out of the question to have people of ill intent. Though it was mostly his fault for being overly friendly or just how he dressed. Crime was still a thing but he didn’t face it in the countryside, just in the cities. So strange with so many police stations. 

              Keeping calm the best he could he let out a shaky breath and tried not to look back. Looking to his knew companion he smiled the best he could. 

❝ Sol? ❞ The smells coming from the Café caught the dark pokemon's attention and worked up her appetite, especially after a long journey.

The lone trainer looked between their pokemon and the cute cafe ahead. It didn't take long for Eerie to figure out what their Absol was thinking.

❝ Hungry, aren't you, Pandora? ❞ They mused. They weren't fond of the idea of going into a public space with people in it, but they were willing to spoil their pokemon, even paying extra for a private area for themself and their pokemon.

❝ Myah! ❞ The Absol mewled happily. And as so, the two went to investigate the cafe.

               There was clearly enough space for many bodies to be placed together but the owner found that space was a must, clearly. There came a sharp chiming sound followed by the click of heels. A tall male in the company of a Diancie who’s ‘gown’ seemed to only add to the princely attire of it’s trainer. 

    🍰 It seemed the Gangar was insistent to keep up the act even trying to stand on it’s own head. Rather hard sense it was a large mass of gas and there was no separation to it’s upper and lower half just nubby limbs. Still, it seemed happy with the handstand as it continued. 

           “Oi…..” Jules sighed not sure what to do at this point, Mont would eventually become board. That’s what he’d have to wait for,” He’s overly energetic today is all……” 

            Straightening up the raven hair gave a bow,” I’m the owner actually of this cafe. That’s why I insist upon apologies. If you’re still interested I”ll happily have you seated and look over the menu…” 

               In the back there came the sound of the Gangar laughing before running off deeper into the shop. Most trouble afoot for sure.  🍰

           ❀. — The thief let out a small laugh again at the Gangar’s playfulness. It was hard to focus on the other man when the lively Pokemon was distracting him. His own partner got annoyed letting out a hiss at Gangar. Lilac pinched his cheek as punishment.

❝ Little liveliness never hurt anyone. Gives the place some charm. ❞

He waved off the apologies again. “I am still interested. My partner seemed to have saw a cake in the window he was interested in.” He wanted to see the menu anyway, there might be something he wanted. Though he could see his partner snatching whatever he got anyway.

                The gentleman gave another small bow as he then gestured to follow. Noise radiated inside the cafe but there were a few people devoted to their own corners. Space wasn’t something lacking despite how small the store front seemed.   “There’s a nice a little shady spot on the back patio that would be divine, lack of noise but can still enjoy the ambiance of the cafe itself.” Jules noted the joy and irritation the trainers pokemon took to. Best to keep both patrons happy after all. 

         🍰 The raven hair looked about himself when it came to ‘shiny’ objects. Honestly the buttons on his dress coat were the ‘shiniest’ things he had on himself. Though it also depended on what Clefairy counted on as ‘shiny’ truthfully. 

                “No harm at all, she’s been very polite.” He’d seen the smirk but being as she hadn’t caused trouble just yet. Jules wasn’t going to worry about it. 

                “It’s a pleasure to meet you Lillie. Beautiful name~! I’m Jules Leblanc and the beautiful maiden over in the field is Tartelette.” He spoke gesturing a overly ruffled wrist to the Florges still playing to her hearts content. 

                “We came out for a walk before heading back to the cafe for the evening. Though I think she needed it more then myself.”   🍰

After stealing a glance at the Florges she had just been introduced to, she couldn’t help but give a smile. What a beautiful Pokemon… She wondered if she’d meet someone else like that, too. Sure, Clefairy would always be enough in her eyes, but meeting more friends would be nice, in her eyes.

Either way though, the girl soon brought her own Pokemon into her arms (though of course, she did struggle a bit, since she wasn’t so much of a heavy lifter on her own), if only to make sure that she could still keep her out of any trouble.

               Jules was about to speak again but he was a bit bewildered in her attempt to move the pokemon. After all, though the fairy type looked light it was still quite large. Still, it didn’t seem to stop the young maiden so he was left to softly smile at the awkward hug. 

       🍰 Leave it to the gentleman to be overly concerned with others he did not know. Mostly in an almost parental manner but respectfully. Seeing the other having not blinded in a while causing him to reach out to see if she was ok. 

              “No inconvenience at all, just worried that something was deeply wrong is all. There are many that get such a face when their discouraged …..though it seems you’re full of fire.” Jules explained letting out a little laugh. 

             “Though…..thinking on many thing I hope you’re not pushing yourself to hard. It’s ok to take a break after all.”  🍰

For a moment, Leaf laughed along with the other, just a little bit. Enough to get the mind off of her thoughts entirely. Now, she was fully tuned-in to the conversation and brought her other hand to her head, scratching it with a perplexed look on her face, all the while.

“Yeah, I hear you. It’s just-” She stopped. She really wasn’t sure how to be wording her thoughts right about now, but she made an effort not to make it sound like word vomit, anyway. “I just wish my brain had an easy ‘off switch’ sometimes, you know? It can be hard to take it easy on command most days… Oh. So sorry! I’m not meaning to take up even more of your time, uh-” 

           “To think someone so young is so stressed. I’m sorry to hear of such woes. Though I do understand such statements, its hard to just disconnect from all of it sometimes. You wish to enjoy life but it likes to give you a few to many good jabs .........sometimes even a hobby can’t get you out of some deep ruts. Though reflection on an issue can cause overthinking, which can cause more issues......” He added before once more the maiden starter to space. 

             “ Jules, Jules Lablanc. You’re not wasting my time in the slightest, please be at ease.” He smiled warmly and insisted that she continue if she so wished. Though with her looking a bit ‘fish’ like with her mouth a gap he softly reached over and aided her closing it. Politely of coarse.
