Log:
[[Today was a very important day! Well, not terribly so, but it was kind of special to her. She was about to meet her Other Father in person. He'd managed to find a way to get to Goldenrod far sooner than she had been expecting, which left her a little dismayed as she wasn't there to properly greet him upon arrival.

But now they had made plans to meet, and so this left her making her way to the Goldenrod Department Store - biggest landmark in town. She would have brought John along but...well, she'd managed to wear the poor boy out training (again), so she felt she'd leave him home for now. Perhaps bring him lunch to make up for it.

For now though, she resigned to just focusing on the day ahead of her. And that started with finding and greeting the man. Which was...a little harder than she'd been expecting. At least on the second part. Finding him was easy enough because, again, they were meeting at the largest landmark in the city. But approaching him, well...she was certainly left with quite a bit of trepidation on the matter.

Of course, when little Mia poked her head out of the bag, there was little waiting to be done at that point. With a happy squeal, she hopped out and hopped her way right over to him, babbling who knows what in Buneary.]]

...good day to you, father.

The Other Father had been playing with Garlic and Calypso before they had arrived, but as soon as he saw the Buneary, he knew the person he had been waiting for had finally appeared. Kneeling over, he stroked the little rabbit behind the ear.

As Rose spoke, his head turned upwards towards her, his smile growing as his eyes set on what he could see. She was even more beautiful off of the Pokégear. His beautiful little girl. "Well hello~o there.~" As he pushed himself off the ground, it was soon quite apparent that he towered over her. Oh how happy he was to finally meet her.

The buneary, unwilling to give up the attention, instantly tried to follow and thereby latched onto the leg of his pants. Before saying anything to the...well, far taller than she had imagined man, she pulls Guile from her bag and sets her down to go round the little bunny up. Guile is the motherhen. It is her.

"I hope I hadn't kept you waiting for too long."

He chuckled lightly at the clingy little fella, seemingly fine with the act of attachment. "Not at all, Rose. The two Pokémon- who had taken notice to the Buneary's antics- were quite busy laughing and running around his feet. "Garlic and Calypso were having fun playing whilst we waited." Garlic took attention to her owner when she heard her name, whereas Calypso decided to join Rose's Pokémon and cling onto the Other Father's other leg. "Looks like they're having fun right now, too."

"I'm glad." Watching the small group, she could only shake her head at the ridiculousness of the three. Kneeling down, she picked Guile back up, seeing as how her job was pretty much unneeded at this point. "And I can see that. It's good they're enjoying themselves. Have you found a place to stay yet? Work to pay for it?"

Nodding in response, the Other Father picked up Garlic in his own arms, who quite quickly- and being quite small for an Oddish- tried to run up onto his shoulders... via the other shoulder first. He ducked his head forward, never being annoyed by the action, as Oddish ran over it to the other side. " Been working at the Department Store this past week." He found something he can do! Store Clerk. They tried putting him in the food section beforehand, and that didn't go so well... But he was willing to try anything to help. "It's been payin' well for the Hotel." Raising a brow, he pulled his glasses down and flashed Rose a cheeky smile. "And some extras. C'mon, I'll buy you something, my treat for my brilliant little girl."

She's glad to hear that, and is about to say so when the offer to buy her something is made. The complement catches her attention too, and rouses just the slightest of surprised looks to her face. "What? Oh, you don't have to do that. I appreciate the sentiment but you still need to save up. After all, while it may be warm now, winter is coming and it's bitterly cold. You'll need the proper clothing for that." Not that she couldn't and wouldn't purchase it for him if he needed, but still. She's going to feel bad about receiving gifts so soon.

If she tried to buy him things he needed, he wouldn't say yes on the principle that the parents look out and care for the children and not the opposite... If she were to buy him a gift however, he would be the happiest man. But on that current question, he shook his head and replied with a sincere smile. "I'm still working, kiddo. I have enough." He did indeed. The Other Father wasn't a man who cared so much about his possessions, as much as his family, and so he would have rather spent his hard earned money on his children and his Pokémon more than anything else.

She can be quite stubborn when it comes to insuring people have what they need if she cares about them. So, if nothing else, he'll receive a list of things he should purchase. She's more for making gifts than buying them. The persistence reminds her of her mother to a point, and she knows nothing will stop that woman once she's made up her mind. "...if you insist. But you really don't have to."

"We can go where-ever you want." But as he said it, his stomach gave quite a loud rumble. Someone had been forgetting to eat... But when your wife usually reminded you, and when you didn't actually need to eat, it was understandable. "Although, I'm as starvin' as Marvin'. If it's alright with you, Rose, maybe we could find a bite to eat?" But only if it was okay with Rose.

"Oh, that's perfectly fine." Is she going to have to start reminding you, father? "Goldenrod has an impressive variety of food choices. Do you have any preferences? Chinese, Thai, Indian...it seems they have it all."

Chinese? Thai? Indian? Huh? "Y'know, I've never tried any of those, but I'd sure like to." He'll like them, since he likes anything.

"Really? Well you certainly must try them then. We'll visit the Chinese shop nearby." She gestures to a building not too far away from where they are now. "If that's alright. If there's something else you'd like to try first, that would be okay as well."

"Sounds great to me." He took a step forward, forgetting about the Buneary on his leg momentarily. "Oo-hoo~?" Bending forward, he faced towards the Pokémon, setting it an offer. "Wanna jump on my back?" He's had Calypso on there before, so an Oddish and a Buneary shouldn't have been too much.
