There didn't appear to be any other suckers in the area that would have fallen for the 'I'm just a kid' thing. Anyone that knew him would have probably helped for an entirely different reason (they cared or something like that. Whatever they'd been saying the last time they had all been together.)

"You can find your dinosaur after you give me money. Are you really gonna turn down a poor, defenseless child?" Didn't it alarm him at all that a twelve year old was out and about by himself? Anyone with half a heart would have gotten him chocolate and offered him company, wanting to make sure he was safely returned to whoever was in charge of him... but this guy obviously didn't have one.

·₊˚☄ – ❝Wha-? Money for the train?❞ The kid’s indomitable persistence was something, he had to at least give him that. As if the little ankle-biter was actually going to spend it on his travel fare home. He was definitely going to take the money and run straight into the candy store to spend his hard-earned cash on more sweets whilst laughing at Zander from behind his back! ❝What do you think I am?! Stupid?❞ Zander barely took another breath before he realised his mistake. ❝…Don’t answer that.❞

Aspiring to tug at Zander’s heart strings for some loose change was practically a lost cause. He was clearly more concerned about his purse strings. ❝Instead of taking the train, why don’t you go play in traffic instead? I heard the tarmac’s short on roadkill!❞ he taunted while smirking contemptuously. Besides, this kid must’ve been twelve at the least, and he clearly had a confident streak. Zander was fairly certain the kid would be fine…probably.

As hard as it was to believe, Zander wasn’t as completely heartless as he may seem. Sometimes it was just way too fun being the bad guy! Or maybe he was just accustomed to his archetype. A little bit of both, perhaps? Either way, this kid wasn’t getting anywhere fast. Already, he was back scanning the crowd for those familiar red scales that he knew had to show up sooner or later. In fact, wasn’t that Terry stomping right on back now? ❝Ah! There you are, Terry!❞ Zander’s shoulders released their tension in relief. ❝You really mustn’t run away like that again!❞ He scolded the miniature prehistoric creature with the same fond yet disapproving intonation one might use to speak to a rambunctious puppy, adding a wagging finger to really emphasise his point. ❝You had us all worried sick! Uh…Terry?❞ Why wasn’t he stopping? At the rate the little dino was kicking up dust, if Zander knew any better, he was either ravenously hungry or there was something much larger hot on his tail.

That was when the ground began to rumble with a terrible, foreboding might. Before anyone had time to react, the cute little market stall selling handmade crocheted animals just up ahead was suddenly completely levelled with one very effective stomp. A full-size carnivorous theropod had burst into view! And it had even caused that snotty little kid to drop his favourite golden robot, causing it to roll and teeter precariously on the edge of a sewer grate. 

Zander stared wide-eyed up at the giant lizard that threatened the city. ❝Ah..! A Saurophaganax!❞ And as if like reflex, he reached immediately for his Alpha Scanner. Looked like little Terry here was going to have to size up – and fast!

"Alright!" he cheered as he opened another box of chocolate robots to find a golden colored robot inside. At the rate he was going, he'd have all of the collectible robots in his possession in no time! Everything looked to be going in his favor: gold robots meant good luck, and he was ready to open the next one even before popping the first piece of chocolate in his mouth.

The robot toy was shoved into his pocket and he pulled out the change he had on him, counting it up quickly before feeling everything crumble around him. He didn't have enough to buy anymore. What was he supposed to do? Wait until the next time he had cash? No way. He needed to find a way to get money immediately.

That's when he saw him -- old guy with no friends around him? He was perfect! Killua ate a piece of chocolate and rushed up to him, mouth still tasting and smelling like rich milk chocolate. He had a whole box of it still to go through... but he needed more!

"Hey, you. Do you have any money I can have? I wanna buy some chocolate."

·₊˚☄ – Ugh. As if his poor, aching feet didn’t hurt enough already after being forced to stand barefoot on dinosaur bones all morning, now he was caught up chasing a mini Tyrannosaurus through the busy streets of downtown Kyoto. The slow-moving throngs of shoppers, sightseers and tourists made it almost impossible to follow the zigzagging mini dino through the crowd. Before he knew it, the pint-sized tearaway T-Rex was nowhere to be seen. ❝Terry – ! Come back, Terry! Don’t you want a nice, big, juicy steak?!❞ It was an actual insult – the dinosaurs ate better than the whole of the Alpha Gang put together! Come to think of it…where were Ursula and Ed – weren’t they following closely behind him just a second ago? Oh, great. He must have lost both of them in the crowd, too.

Running out of energy, and lungs burning from the intense early August humidity, Zander paused to catch his breath, bending over with his hands on his knees as he puffed. After regaining his breath, he stood back up to his full height and wiped the dripping sweat from his brow with the back of his pale, thin hand. 

Peering observantly over the tops of people’s heads, Zander thought he caught a glimpse of Terry’s hindquarters, but after elbowing a few disgruntled shoppers out of his way, the brief flash of red he had caught turned out to be the front panel of a woman’s fashionable red crocodile leather handbag. What a let-down. Zander let out another weary sigh. When was something finally going to go his way? He’d been about to set off again in pursuit of the runaway dino, when–

❝–Huh?❞ Zander was accosted by a small child with what looked suspiciously like a melted chocolate moustache, asking him for money to buy – guess what? – more chocolate. Yeahhh, no. He wasn’t feeling especially philanthropic right now. Especially not after Ursula’s obligatory spend-a-thon on his credit card earlier that afternoon at the Takashimaya shopping centre. ❝Oh, puh-lease!❞ he scoffed, theatrically waving a hand to send the mooching child away, ❝What am I, the bank of Zander?! Besides, you’ve already had enough chocolate for one day – the evidence is all over your face!❞ Somebody ought to hand this kid a napkin or a handkerchief or something. Ick! ❝Now, beat it, brat! I’ve got a dinosaur to find!❞

❝ what's your favorite color and why? ❞

❝ can i come with you? ❞

❝ you have a nice smile, has anyone ever told you that before? ❞

❝ how do you take your coffee? ❞

❝ sorry, what was your name again? ❞

❝ it just occurred to me i never asked you what your last name is. ❞

❝ actually we've met before. ❞

❝ i've heard a few things about you. ❞

❝ care to join me? ❞

❝ i'm not really sure why i trust you. ❞

❝ i don't usually talk this much, it just feels easy to say stuff when you're listening. ❞

❝ i know we don't know each other that well but if you wanna talk about it... ❞

❝ could you help me with something? ❞

❝ do you like it here? ❞

❝ are you new around here? ❞

❝ you can ask me anything you want. i promise i'll answer truthfully except the things i feel like lying about. ❞

❝ i don't mean to be too forward, you just seem like you could use a friend right now. ❞

❝ you can come with me. i mean if you don't have anyone waiting for you. ❞

❝ we're friends now. you can ask me for help. ❞

❝ do you like this music? i can change it. ❞

❝ what are your favorite snacks? ❞

❝ really? i wouldn't have guessed that about you. ❞

❝ do you mind if i ask about it? ❞
