[Video | Action for Saffron City]
[ When the feed clicks on, it's the sky. Then Bahamut the Gabite looms his head over the Gear before picking it up and Gaaaaaaabiiiites at the feed in greeting. He's never really played with his trainer's Gear before, but now he can since he now has arms! ]
Ah, I think that's enough for now, dearie. Thank you so much for your help!
It was my pleasure, ma'am.
[ Bahamut turns the feed and shifts onto Xion and a young woman. Despite having her right arm in a sling, it looks like Xion's carrying a bunch of bags and a box on her left arm. Her back's turned, unaware that her Pokemon's messing with the Gear. Xion's giving the items back to the woman, probably things from a shopping spree. ]
You're working hard, aren't you? Preparing early for Christmas?
Yes.
How wonderful! Oh, your friends must be so lucky. Well, I'll send in a good word at the Market. But I think you deserve something a little extra...
Extra? No, that's fine, I-
[ And then the woman leans forward and... something happens. Kissing?! Bahamut makes a sound. It's unsure where the woman kissed Xion; maybe the forehead? The nose? The cheek? Lips?! But it's brief, and the woman waves heartily with a "Tootaloo!" while Xion just stands there, dumbfounded. ]
Uhh... [ She raises a hand to the spot. What was that? What did she do? Then she remembers Bahamut's behind her, and turns. ] Did you see that? Did you see what she did to m-
[ He's recording. Recording. Other people have seen. She... isn't sure if this is a good thing. ] Bahamut... turn that off.
[ Bahamut the Gabite just jumps up and down in glee for his trainer, shaking the feed. Mates! Mates! And then he does what he's told. ]
[ ooc: Rest? REST?! REST IS FOR THE WEAK. As for the reason why she's working... Christmas Gift List! ]

[He sighs, running a hand through his hair.]
Can't believe they'd do that.
action
[ SO THAT MAKES IT OKAY?! ]
action
Dang it, Xion doesn't need to be exposed to creepers.]
You tell me. I only caught it from behind, but I've got a hunch.
action
action
That whatever she did... isn't exactly appropriate.
[Not appropriate for strangers, anyway.]
But like I said, I only caught it from a distance. What exactly did she do?
[Translation: Where was the kiss? Better not be the lips, or he will have to go out and have a stern talk with that lady.]
action
She briefly gestures to her lips. When she tries to articulate and fails, she puts one foot closer to Riku and: ] This?
[ Peck! ]
action 1/?
... ... ...
Did she just--]
action
Uh, give him a second. His brain just kinda flatlined because hello, awkward. How ya doin'?]
action 3/3
... yeah, that's what I thought.
action so hideous LMFAO
[ DID SHE DO SOMETHING WRONG?! Other than being horrendously not up to date with relationships and the like. ]
action You know you like it B]
And he shakes his head. Uh.]
No, it's...
[Time to try and explain this.]
Kissing's usually for couples. She shouldn't have done it to you.
action
action
Hey, it's fine. I'm not mad or anything.
action
action
[Aw, don't make him feel bad. Would uh... a hand on the shoulder help? Because that's about as affectionate as he gets, usually.]
I didn't expect you to know that. Besides, a kiss won't hurt anybody.
action
So... you're not bothered by the one I gave you? [ Just for clarification! ]
action
[Here, he'll even smile. C'mon, Xion, cheer up.]
Might've been my first, but it's not like I'm with anybody. Plus, you didn't know what it meant.
action
Your... first?
action
Don't worry about it. Point is, it doesn't bug me. What does is the way a total stranger thought it'd be okay to kiss you.
action
[ She looks around. Other than Bahamut and Riku... the woman was gone. ] It's over now, right? And you're here.
action
[Protective friend? Oh, very much so.]
action

action
action
[Whew, he looks a bit relieved now.]
Still, you didn't expect it. And sometimes people are unpredictable.
