The Grand Opening

[driftingmods]

[A large WELCOME sign is hanging from the buildings when you walk into Levanta Town, but that seems to be the only sign that today is any different than any other day. The villagers are simply going about their daily business. However, if they are approached they are more than happy to explain the region as well as they can to any new arrivals.

Welcome to Levanta Town in The Drifting Land!]

Small children like you shouldn't assume such things about total strangers.

[Hit the nail on the head. Zorua grins and flicks his tail back in forth, wiggling out of N's arms and prancing around Paul. The yaps should sound mocking enough. Looks like the sock's on the other foot, jerk! We've got you right in the hot spot!]

Zozo notices things about humans more than I do, even if he's kind of mean about it. My reason is because I'm going to be a hero, so what's yours? [Look, friendlier. Even a little smile. Even if it's kind of... stilted. Not that he's stopping his Zorua.]

[battlestandby]

[That question still haunts him, and the fact that a little kid is owning him here is pretty humiliating.]

Being a hero is such a shallow goal.

[tinylord]

[Ooooh Zorua's got a few choice words for you, Paul, but N's beat him to it.]

You say that because you don't know or understand why I'm going to be one. I doubt you could, anyway, if I told you. [Not many... understood, except for other hims. But that was a given.] At least I have a goal in mind.

[battlestandby]

You're just a kid. And you don't know anything about me.

[Oh Paul, if only you knew...]

[tinylord]

[Sorry, but he's smiling now. It might seem a little... evil, depending on who's asking, but it's really just mocking.]

At least you're good at observing. [Too bad he ain't too bright. C'mon N, let's go play more, I'm bored of you draggin' him 'round like that. The Zorua hops back over to his human, glaring at Paul. Stupid trainer.] You're done checking out Zozo, right?

[battlestandby]

... As done as I can be with a Pokedex that has no data on the species.

[tinylord]

All right then! [Look how friendly this kid is! He'll be going away now with his fox, but not before he turns around and waves. Walking backwards yup.]

It was nice seeing you again, Paul! Kind of, anyways!

[battlestandby]

--Again?

[don't think he didn't catch that!]

[tinylord]

[oh but it is the secrets that are the best part

unless Paul can catch their running forms nope he's not getting answers]

[battlestandby]

[He's not about to make a fool of himself chasing after a little kid.

Besides, he's got a feeling he'll run into this kid again sooner or later.]
