don paolo, taking one look at this snarky, weirdly intelligent street urchin and recalling that layton has his own Strange Little Boy to help him do things: say, you've got some real moxie, kid. you wanna learn how to make smoke bombs and dodge the cops?
alfendi, about to gain the worst uncle figure in the world who's going to make him So Normal when he grows up: ABSOLUTELY I DO
#professor layton#pl#don paolo#alfendi layton#cocoapost#i was wondering about alfendi's backstory (since we don't know it yet) and i'm kinda shocked no one thought of this angle#mostly because i like the thought of a young al getting into trouble and paul having friends (not that either would admit it)#it would explain so much. the crime obsession. the mild technical know-how. the personality.#plus. contrast.#alfendi's red and impulsive vs luke's blue and patient (at least somewhat)#luke and layton being close and having a solid bond together vs al and paul caring about one another but NEVER saying so out loud#i'm just having fun imagining these two giggling and running away together with boxes of stolen parts
