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 ]

[justonezero]

[Wheeze.]

This is... pretty much how it was before, too.

[Whew.]

Okay! Ready.
