[deto]

[ still glued to yoshi’s back, deto simply hugs him again. he does know it’s difficult, so he’ll continue to keep track of every big and small achievement for yoshi’s sake. maybe one day he’ll be able to get through telling him about the entire list, until then - a little at a time. yeah

acknowledging the subject change: ]

I think so? I hope so. Sure there’s stuff I might have forgotten, but I got my most pressing questions answered. Prep and safety.

[justonezero]

Mm...

[Heaning into the hug for a bit, enjoying the warmth of it. And then:]

Should we... go shopping next?

[deto]

[ he sighs because standing means he has to let go of yoshi. fine, fine… ]

Yeah. I’m probably good to stand and walk. Do we need to look up a place before we leave?

[justonezero]

Yeah, hang on.

[Going to do a quick search and... there's actually one pretty close by! It's on the 3rd floor of a nearby building.

...

Once he's got the address down, he's just going to wipe their browsing history real quick.]

'Kay, ready!

[deto]

[ oh, bun smart ]

Do we look old enough to just walk in?

[ gathering their stuff, but if they need their IDs handy, he’ll slip his into his pants pocket ]

[justonezero]

You might, but I'm pretty sure I don't...

[Babyfaced bun. Gonna have his own wallet handy.]

[deto]

[ another chance to stare at yoshi’s face? he’ll take it ]

Mm. [ his lips twitch, holding back a smile ] You do have that - puppy pink glow.

[ very baby ]

[justonezero]

Puppy pink?!

[What does that even MEAN.]

[deto]

[ unlocking the door and opening it for the both of them ]

When puppies are first born, they have really tender, pink skin. And noses. And paws pads.

[justonezero]

Ohh... They are? Pretty sure I'd get barked at before I could get anywhere close to newborns like that.

[Getting his shades ready to swap once they're closer to the exit.]

[deto]

Is that possible?? A newborn puppy? Can they even bark yet…?

[ yoshi will have to lead them since he looked up the address ]

[justonezero]

The parents probably would...

[He's leading the way though! Mostly by tugging Akira's hand in the direction they need to head next.]

[deto]

Should we go to the zoo and test it? Or… an animal cafe?

[ walking around with yoshi like this is definitely something he likes ]

[justonezero]

We can? It'll be pretty depressing if you don't get to pet anything though, won't it?

[Into one of the nearby buildings, ignoring the shop on the ground floor to beeline for the stairs.]

[deto]

Hm? I have you.

[ so what’s the problem ]

You’re not even double-checking your phone for the right route. You memorized the way with just a glance?

[justonezero]

Isn't the point to pet the animals at the café though...

[The staircase is narrow and dark, and he has to pause to swap his shades for glasses again so he can actually see the steps.]

Hm? It was pretty close by, so there wasn't too much to memorize.

[deto]

I just wanna see what’ll happen. If the cafe doesn’t work out, we can always do something else. Feels like we can do anything together and it’ll be fun.

[justonezero]

That part's true...

[Up the stairs! He falls silent because these flights are heckin steep and he's gotta focus on the climbing part.]

[deto]

[ a good time for deto to keep talking at him, continue a line of thought from before ]

But you didn’t even doublecheck. Not even once. I think… your memory is just on another level. Or is it your understanding of spaces? Hmm.

[justonezero]

[Huff puff why are stairs his greatest nemesis.]

Not... space. Just clear directions.

[deto]

[ ganba bun ]

Then should I leave it to you to lead us places?

[justonezero]

Um... if I'm the one who knows the directions... I guess?

[deto]

What are you saying? I’m gonna follow you everywhere. Anywhere.

[justonezero]

But I might not know the directions all the time...

[Almost... there...!

Once they get to the landing he's stopping without even looking into the store, hands on his knees as he catches his breath.]

[deto]

[ as far as deto’s concerned, they’re going in the right direction if they’re together. it worked out in the game, so ]

Hang in there, Yoshi. [ patting him on the back, eyes on yoshi first before he peers curiously into the store ] One day your body will catch up.

[ there’s nothing much he can tell from the outside ]
