Teigi snickered. "You? Taller than Inteleon? Good luck." The boy hummed to himself, before a grin spread across his face. "Doesn't our growth slow down when we turn thirteen, anyway?" Teigi chuckled, before taking letting Furret out of its Pokeball. He stroked the Pokemon's fur, before glancing back and forth between Rowan and Furret. "I'll be surprised if you make it to Furret's height; I dunno if even I'll be that tall."
"Hush! Just you wait; I'm gonna be even taller than Inteleon!" Rowan crossed his arms, obviously pouting. "You're just teasing because you're tall… but you're a year older than me, so that doesn't really mean anything!" He pet Noivern again, eyeing the pokemon thoughtfully. He'd spent ages in the wild area to get it to evolve. "How tall is your Furret anyway?"
Teigi pat Rowan's head, a smirk on his face. "Sure, of course you're gonna be tall. But hey, at least I can pick you up when you're tiny!" Teigi wrapped his arms around Rowan's waist and lifted him into the air, grinning. "Oh, Furret? Mine's on the smaller side, about five feet, seven inches, maybe? Five nine at the tallest." He set Rowan back down on the ground, and Furret wrapped its tail around Teigi's legs.
"Hey!" Rowan laughed a bit when Teigi picked him up, trying his best and failing to be annoyed. He stuck his tongue out again when Teigi let him back down and turned his attention up to the tall pokemon. "How come pokemon gotta be so big?" He huffed as he reached out to touch the Furret.
Teigi shrugged. "How come you gotta be so tiny?" The boy's stomach rumbled, and a blush spread across his face. "Wanna get some food? I… think I'm hungry." Teigi grinned as his Ponyta ambled over to him, and he stroked its back.
"Genetics, I guess." He looked up when he heard Teigi's stomach growl. "Oh! Um… yeah, sure! Do you know where to get food in Ballonlea?" He asked curiously. "I mean, I haven't heard of anywhere in particular, but obviously they've gotta have some food somewhere…"
"There's gotta be some cafes around here, right? Wanna walk around and look for something?" Ponyta shifted slightly, causing Teigi's finger to move into its flaming mane. He chuckled and stroked the back of its head, as the flames didn't affect him.
(learned some new Ponyta facts today lmao)
(Oo)
"Sounds good to me! I'm starving…" Rowan took Teigi's hand and started wandering around with him, Noivern trailing along behind them quietly. Eventually, they managed to find a small restaurant that they could eat at. "This place seem good to you, Teigi?"
(Bump)
"Sure! As long as it's got food, I don't really care!" Teigi led Rowan inside the restaurant and they sat down inside a booth. Ponyta sat down on the floor next to Teigi, and the boy let his Furret back inside its Pokeball.
Rowan smiled brightly as Teigi led him into the restaurant, letting his Noivern sit in the seat beside him. "Alright! Hmm… what do you wanna order?" He asked curiously. "Maybe we can share something big…"
(Bump)
(Beep)
(Oh sorry, this completely slipped my mind!!!)
"Sharing something sounds good," Teigi commented, reaching down to stroke Ponyta. "Did you have anything in mind? I'm craving something sweet right now." He picked up a menu off the table, scanning it until his face lit up. "They have ice cream here! Wanna get a big dish of it to share?"
(Np lol)
"Yeah, sure! Ice cream sounds fine to me. We should probably get some actual food as well, though." Rowan looked over the menu with Teigi, idly stroking his Noivern. "What flavor do you wanna get?" He asked.
