( โถ He snickers at his surprised reaction for a brief second. )
Hehe, yeah ! It's a bit of a hurdle for me so far, but ... I decided I'm gonna give it my all to becoming a captain for other trial-goers, just like we were.
( โถ Munch munch ... )
[ he almost choked . he coughed a bit before sitting straight , amazed . ]
" REALLY ?! that's so cool ! you'd be a real good trial captain now that i think about it . "
[ he's very , very interested . how could he not be ! ]
( โถ Big bite of his malasada ... Munch munch. Gulp ! )
Well, all that trainin' hasn't just been for the next time we battle it out, y'know. I'm actually getting ready to become a trial captain for Melemele !
All night, huh ? Talk about a hard worker ! Just don't push yourself too hard. Hard workers need their breaks too !
Oh, me ? I'm like a Combusken practicing its kicks in the early morning ! I'm ready to give it my all today ! ๐
( โถ Placing the bag riiight beside him. He has a big stomach, so he's definitely gonna grab something else soon. )
Oh, right ! You know how I told you the last time I went to challenge you how I beat my old gramps in an all-out Pokรฉmon battle, yeah ?
[ elio takes a malasada , some gummies , and some chips , and hands the bag back to hau . ]
" so , what's new with you ? other than training . that doesn't count . "
[ he snickers as he takes a bite of his malasada . ]
You gosh darn bet there isn't !
( โถ He grins too. Wide and bright. He takes a seat on the bed, passing the snack bag over to Elio so he could grab whatever he wanted while he chowed down on the delight that was his most favored treat of all. Some things never change, huh ? )
[ elio laughs , grinning . ]
" of course . is there even a hau without a malasada ? "
[ he makes more room on his bed , sitting against his wall . ]
[ inwardly , he was weirdly happy to see the malasadas . not necessarily because he loved them as much as hau did , -
( โถ He returns the Joy-Con before moving to grab the snack bag, opening it up. )
Shortbread, gummies, chips, and of course ...
( โถ He takes something out in a smaller paper bag. )
Malasadas !
" sounds good to me . i might fall asleep mid - match if we did another one . "
[ he gets up and turns his switch off , afterwards jumping onto his bed . ]
" what all did you bring ? if it's nothing too messy we can eat in bed . "
Whew !
( โถ He stretches, suppressing a yawn of his own too. )
Wouldn't mind another race, but I'm pretty beat. And from the sound of it, so are you !
Wanna grab a snack and chill out 'till we rest ?
" uugh ! "
[ he sits back up . ]
" at least nobody can take my number 1 spot for that ! but now i gotta get my spot in mario kart back . . "
[ he snickers , but it's cut off by a yawn . ]
YEAHH !
( โถ On the opposite end, he was savoring the victory, pumping his fist into the air with a wide smile. )
Hehe. Well, we can both hold the gold trophy. You're still number 1 to me ! Maybe just not in Mario Kart.
( โถ He's teasing. )
[ hau ended up winning by hardly a second . ]
[ elio groaned and threw himself back , arms held up in defeat . ]
" NOOO ! "
[ he was laughing . that was fun , he had missed this a lot . ]
" wow , taking my trophy just like that ! so meannn ! "
