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.

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?

[isthedeadcat]

I don't have that much trouble, since most times I introduce myself verbally before I do it by writing... And at least the kanji can be read with the same sounds for "Lion".

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[Goes back to eating.]

So... your sister, what kind of person is she?

[isthedeadcat]

She's a good girl, she always does her best... Sadly she can be a little rude sometimes.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Huh, sounds like my girlfriend back home.

[isthedeadcat]

Oh, you have a girlfriend? You must be missing her quite a bit since arriving here...

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Hm, you can say that.

She's probably worried and thinking up things to do to me if she finds me.

/touches this log fondly xD

[isthedeadcat]

[Lion chuckles.]

Can you imagine what kind of things?

fffff

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...Probably something on the lines of physical abuse.

[isthedeadcat]

Oh... She's that kind of girlfriend, I see.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...yeah, unfortunately.

[isthedeadcat]

She must have enough good things to offset that flaw.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...yeah, she was my voice of reason when I didn't have any.

[There's a wistful smile on his face.]

[isthedeadcat]

[So she was Shinn's voice of reason all the time and forever? XP]

You really like her, don't you?
