*blinks* --Ah. Yeah. Thanks, Takeru. I appreciate that. *doesn't sound very enthusiastic, but that's just 'cause he's still sour about the outfit! he's happy you'll be his friend♥ on the inside, anyway! he loves kids*
Mm. You're...dressed as some kind of winged spirit?
*grumble grumble what the hell he's richer than he could ever imagine anyway grumble grumble - fishes out his wallet and flips a 50-cent piece to the kid*
Oh! I know! You're a nerd!
That's not a very nice thing to say, Patamon . . . What happened last year, Mr. Ginko?

Mm. A lot of things happened, is the thing; it was different for each person. Something like an illusion cast on everyone in the island...
But don't worry, it looks like it isn't happening again. *doesn't want to go into the details with the little kid, it was awfully scary!*
((Ginko's from the early 19th century (probably-kinda-it's really vague in canon) so he hasn't heard the word ever before. 8D ))

But you're not a nerd, Mr. Ginko! I'll be your friend. And that's good. This is a lot more fun than illusions.

I didn't know your costumes gave you powers, too. *half-kidding, but also half-serious! you never know with this crazy magical island, after all*

Mr. Ginko is now officially 50% happier and peacefuler!
And dustier!

Thanks, angel-san. I feel happier and more peaceful already. *voice dropping with sarcasm, but it's not like Takeru'll notice, will he...?*

*aaaand turns to leave, no dollar for you, Ginko is a stingy old man*

[This time, Patamon is the one that runs around in circles crying incoherently while Takeru latches on to Ginko's leg and smiles charmingly upwards.]
