He glanced towards the source of the voice that seemed to be addressing him, seeing a rather tall yet baby-faced man standing a bit behind him. He blinked slightly, only observing for a moment before just grinning and blowing smoke from his cigarette in the opposite direction, flicking the ashes off before replacing it in his mouth.
âWeâre all a little lost arenât we? Hmm, thereâs a town somewhere around here, and a city somewhere else,â he said finally, giving a light shrug. Why was he being vague? Who knows, because he certainly did know where he was at. He found Route 120 in Hoenn to be quite beautiful and solemn at the same time, and he had even come prepared with a black umbrella due to the tendency for it to rain in the area. An umbrella which he had out currently due to the light drizzle; itâd be rather hard to smoke in such wet weather otherwise
Oh, so he found some sort of philosopher, eh? Weâre all a little lost... How helpful, man. This dude is vague as hell and smells like cigarettes--maybe Al should keep wandering... though, the rain was starting to make his hair and clothes cling to him uncomfortably. He had been caught in the rain when it was a bit stronger--it had gone down to a drizzle thankfully, but he was still wet. He was not the best at doing fetch missions for Aqua, especially not on his own, but there was no one else available for the job.
âI was gonna head to Fortree, but I think Iâm going in circles,â he explained, trying to ignore mister smoking philosopherâs vagueness. âDo you know which way it is, or at least someplace I can take shelter from the rain for now?â
