He looks deadpan at her. "Musta been a coincidence." Not really. They are already dead inside from the common occurrences of Bad Luck Bria-Kira.
"The place. We can totally go. It can be my treat. I guess my MooMoo Milk ice cream will have to wait. I got a recipe from HER."
"Boo... how come y'replied the same as Hop did-ya?" she complains.
"Hum... Rather than icecream... Ahm! They got those tasty smoothies in town! Y'know the place!"
"No matter how tired y'are... Never mistake a Crustle for a rock y'can sit on. It ends with an angry Cintiskorch and no one wants that."
... no doubt a sequence of events that only her eternally bad luck can trigger.
He shrugged and placed his hands inside his pocket.
"I will have great expectations." He laughed. "It's been a while, Kira. It makes me reminiscent of our childhood."
"Hum... I dunno about the fashion stuff, but if it's food, it's all the more fun when something doesn't just taste great, but also looks it! So just hang in there a bit longer 'til everything looks JUST the way I want it to!"
He chuckled and shook his head from side to side.
"Kira, y'know ye don't have to be a perfectionist. That's very Kalosian of you and you are not even from there. But your couture and style outside of your sporty clothes could very much appear in a fashion week catwalk."
"Nay!" She crosses her arms, making an X. "Y'won't see them until I get it right!" the days of making Rael and Hop taste new creations is over! Now she wants it to look good first, on top of it tasting good!
... Good luck Nommuns is always ready to eat the 'failed attempts'.
He raised an eyebrow and shook his head as if he had just been hit with a curve ball.
"Thank you, Kira. I don't mind if they are not decorated. If this is the taste alone of things you make, I will gladly take your failures too." He chucked.
He had such a sweet tooth
"Un, I'll make you some when I get the decorations loking right! It's a bit hard to decorate macarons, but it was also kinda fun! Mum helped me a lot with how to use the stencils and food colours on them~"
They just don't _quite_ look good enough to share, yet.
"I would have to taste those too." He made a wry smile. There was no way to win over Hop when he made up his mind.
He could be a very stern character when he wanted to. His mind drifted to the wool daddy incident. Ugh.
"But I really appreciate that you thought of me when youm
Little Hop would always claim that he'd be the Galar champion, but she'd be the curry champion. Even now, he still sometimes mentions it as a 'future job possibility'.
"Last week I tried making macarons! It was fun~" and especially tasty
"Oh my goodness!" He was surprised to see Kira surprise him with a box of cookies. He grabbed one and popped it into her mouth.
"These are absolutely superb, Kira. I knew you were good at baking, but holy smokes. You should open a bakery"
"And today we haaaveee~!" she pops the lid off of the small box in her hands. "Aegislash cookies!" complete with chesto and sitrus berry flavored frosting, and small pieces of the fruits. "Here!" she holds the box out to @KalosianRebirth
He giggled back. Oh, how he missed being goofy around Kira.
"Then, I will use my best impression of Gloria to be in the action shots. Something along the lines of 'Ye feesty Keerah, sho zem de feest of Gal-ahr"
He used his best northern Galarian accenty
"Well thank you for the heads up, but a kilt is just a man skirt." He is holding his ground.
"Do you think I will look good on one? While cheering on you..?" She gave her a wink.
"Hum... I think that if y'call it a skirt to them, we'll find your body somewhere in an alley," pause "In like seven pieces-ya? Gloria told me they can be a bit fierce 'bout those sorta things over there."
He lifted an eyebrow at the comment. It was very amusing to think about a champion coming all the way to Galar just to get information on the uniforms that they used here. If it was who he was thinking about, then it was silly that a champion would be that much of a pushover.
"
she muses, tapping her finger on the ground lightly.
She doesn't even bat an eye at the thought of the Johto champion coming running just because her grandmother asks him to.
"Y'can only match me if y'match the skirt too~"
