{002} [voice/action]

[gladlygullible]

[Kyoko's standing in the middle of the Metropolis district. She's gone shopping plenty of times before back home, of course, but this was such an unfamiliar new city and well, let's face it; shopping for things (especially things as silly as costumes) alone can be boring. Plus she had only met nice people so far in the city. It wouldn't hurt to

Oh, that thing... does everyone have to come? A-and where do I get money? I didn't have any when I got here...

[Rion is trying to get used to using the seals, now, and he thinks he's got it right. Hopefully. Maybe. His 'voice' sounds like a higher-pitched tenor voice, though right now it's one that sounds really sad. This place doesn't make any sense and he doesn't like it but at least he hasn't... gotten hurt.

Yet. That's cool, right?]

I don't think you're required. It's just for fun. And my big brother said most things here are for free.

Re: voice;

[derped]

... free? But-- there are stores.

Re: voice;

[gladlygullible]

Yep, but they don't ask you to pay anything.

Re: voice;

[derped]

...I still don't know where to get a costume. I'm kinda new here.

Re: voice;

[gladlygullible]

Would you like to come shopping with me? I'm sure we can find something together.

Re: voice;

[derped]

Um, if it wouldn't be too inconvenient, I guess...

Re: voice;

[gladlygullible]

Do you want to meet me in front of the library?

voice;

[derped]

Where's that?

Re: voice;

[gladlygullible]

It's in the Metropolis District. Do you remember the place you were at when you first arrived?

voice → action;

[derped]

I think so. I'll try and find it.

[Somewhere between five and ten minutes, a small boy of 5'0" is wandering outside the library, wondering who he's looking for and wondering if he should have asked for more information, but god forbid he ask because then he'll feel and look dumb. :(]

[It doesn't take much for Kyoko to figure out Rion was probably the one she had been talking to. The only other people around were Locals, and unlike Rion, they seemed completely oblivious to anything around them.

Kyoko wanders over to Rion, smiling.]

Excuse me?

action;

[derped]

[Rion jumps and turns to Kyoko, startled like a paranoid cat that, for once in its life, let itself relax and didn't notice the big scary human coming up behind it.]

...yes?

[It's notable that despite them being there in person, Rion is still speaking through the seal.]

action;

[gladlygullible]

My name is Kyoko. I think we spoke over the seal.

action;

[derped]

I'm Rion.

[Small, tenative smile. He starts putting his hand out like he thinks they're supposed to shake hands but he's not ... really entirely sure and he's REALLY AFRAID of screwing this up.]

[gladlygullible]

[Kyoko's slowly picking up that this boy is, well, saying a bit shy might be an underestimate. His awkwardness and nervousness vaguely reminds her of Tsuna back home, helping to put her more at ease for Rion's sake.

She doesn't usually shake hands, but Kyoko makes an exception in this case, reaching out and gently shaking his.]

It's nice to meet you, Rion. Are you ready?
