"Hmm? Ah, coming!" Milo replies to Firey, who had apperantly already found his sister before giving Maskerin even a chance to do so too.
He ran over to Firey, looking at the newcomer he was shaking hands with.
"Wow, I'm meeting so many people at once, it's both amazing and overwhelming." He laughs. He watches the conversation continues, not bothering to bump in until they're done with introductions.
"No Koi, I'm not getting you another malasada," a young boy pipes, shaking his head with a sassy flip of a hair. The kid seems about 10, walking down a road leading to a cafe, to which was his original destination goal, but was distracted by other food stands that depicts foods of different cultures that he had wanted to try.
He pops a candied grape into his mouth, chewing loudly as his Vulpix barks next to him, demanding some of the sweet snacks.
"Patience, I said I'll get you some cheesecake once we get to the cafe, calm down." Kino whines, waving off his little partner whilst moving on to a skewered rice cake. Koi huffs, kicking at his trainer's heels, as if he was trying to break it. Kino pays him no mind, and opens up the door to the little Shop they had wanted to go in.
"Maybe I should get my grandma some cake too," he said, and then stops as he watches some kind of drama unfolds before him. Apparently, a duo is having an argument, whether be it about personality or clothings, Kino did not know. A gardevoir stood next in between the two, looking agitated. Kino blinks, and walk past the two without a second glance, not finding the need to interrupt them unless need be. He looks like a kid, surely enough they wouldn't be stupid enough to drag a child into this.
He had Koi sit himself a seat, so they have somewhere to rest their legs after ordering.
"Make sure the seat is good, I don't want a dirty one," Kino orders, "and remember, don't eat too much, you'd never know when the gym challengers might arrive." The kid adds in.
It was hard to believe the child was a gym leader, even if it was the first one. He's tiny in size and looks barely 12, not to mention he owns a vulpix for a companion, not a ninetales. At first glance, Kino probably couldn't even put up a fight. But the kid is still somehow the first gym leader, so there's still something they can offer, even if it's not much.
