THE SHOPPING TRIP

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Who: Shinn and Lion!
What: A shopping trip!
When: Afternoon
Where: Violet City!
Warning: Hilarity!


After arranging the meeting to happen sometime later in the afternoon, Shinn can be seen waiting for a certain someone in his rarely used set of Ace Trainer clothes, no thanks to Trisa's mishap earlier in the morning.

In any case, he seems to be early, as he's been fiddling with that Poke Gear of his for quite a while.

I guess some Western food would be nice.

[isthedeadcat]

Then western it is... I think I know the right place for that.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Well, lead the way, then.

[isthedeadcat]

[And Lion leads the way to a nice expensive-looking restaurant, with an extensive menu xD]

Just ask whatever you want, Shinn-san.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...you sure? These are all. Well.

[Gestures at the prices HOLY SHIT THEY'RE EXPENSIVE.]

[isthedeadcat]

It will be fine, don't worry. I always prefer to pay a bit more to get better quality.

...

...Well, if you say so.

[isthedeadcat]

[Don't feel bad, Shinn. Lion also orders very very expensive food for lunch :P]

[Shinn is a soldier. HE'S NOT USED TO EATING EXPENSIVE STUFF DX]

[isthedeadcat]

[Get used to it when Lion is treating xDDDD]

I hope you enjoy your food!

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I will.

[Going to eat. Awkwardly.]

So, do you get to eat these kind of things back home?

[isthedeadcat]

[Eating... With perfect manners xD]

Our kitchen personnel was very dedicated. Their food was always top notch.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Man, must've been nice.

[isthedeadcat]

It was... Though it did make getting used to the food here a little difficult.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...well, that's not really surprising.

[isthedeadcat]

Still, going back to the basics is not a bad thing.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Hm, hm.

[Just tackling his food over here...]

So, tell me more about your family.

[isthedeadcat]

Grandfather had four children, and all of them had at least one child. Father and Uncle Rudolf had two.

So we were six cousins in total.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

So, you're an only child?

[Peering from his food.]

[isthedeadcat]

I have a little sister, her name is Jessica.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Jessica, huh?

...sounds like your family likes western names a lot.

[isthedeadcat]

Yes, my grandfather named all of his children with western names... so the tradition passed on to us too.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...they're written in normal English, right?

[Because who would be crazy enough to kanji-fy them.]

[isthedeadcat]

No. All of the names are written in similar sounding kanji...

[At this, Lion browses a pocket, looking for a small block and a pen, and quickly writes the kanji for Lion in it. "理御"]

This is my name, for example.

I'm guessing people tends to pronounce the wrong reading?
