Marcus chuckles again when Kee asks about how to write.  "Ah, eager to fit in now, are we?  Don't worry, writing's easy.  Watch this."

Marcus digs through a pile of stuff on his workbench and pulls a piece of paper out, along with a bowl filled with what appears to be berry juice.  He takes his hand and dips it in the bowl.  He then presses it on the paper, leaving a hand print, then starts drawing other shapes, generally in the shapes of footprints.  Despite never having seen this writing before as well (well, maybe Kee glanced over some when looking at Sahra Town's shops), he's able to perfectly read what Marcus has written.  It says:

This is how you write using footprint runes.

Marcus hands Kee a blank piece of paper and the berry juice.  "Try it out yourself.  It should come naturally.  Even if our footprints and cries are all different, it's generally easy for pokemon to understand what we're trying to say to them."

Ziggy-Kee returns Marcus' chuckling in a semi-embarrased way, then timidly (yet rather determined innerly) nods about the eager-to-fit-in-now aspect. He watches the craftsmon's doing with awe and attention, but even more it impresses him that he can PERFECTLY READ(!!!) what he 'wrote'! That, and that berry juice functions as ink, Kee's tempted to take a sip of it when none's looking.

He accepts paper and berry-ink with lotsa gratitude. "Thank ya Marcus, thank yaaaaa!~ ☆(^0^) I, eh, tot'lly gonna try it out mahself now!" And off Kee is again into the guy's guestroom, he's spending some time before rest learning how to write footprint runes himself. He feels that he's getting the hang of it quite fast - the basics are easy, but he'll need some more time and practice to hone this new skill.

For sleep he's shuffling some items out of his guitarbag to curl up into a black and white furball within it. So cozy, aww~ And he's really enjoying the familiar scent of it.


+++++++


Now onwards to the next day!~ When Kee wakes up, stretches himself and spends a few minutes cleaning and grooming his fine fur (contrary to Kogeki Kee prefers calm and quiet activities in the mornings), he's 100% certain that this whole 'I have been turned into a Pokemon!' is not a very real dream nor an acid trip but nothing but the truth and reality. Somehow, he can't help but to contently smile over this fact.

He's yaaaaaawning a toothy yawn as he trots into Marcus' workshop, but he seems all eager and hyped. "G'mornin', people, ladies...~ Huh what, 'dventure'round town? Oh yes, YEAH I AM, pwease show us 'round!" He'll be dragging his guitarbag full of Items along to this tour as he hopes there'll be a way to store the Items inside somehow/somewhere. And he's hungry. "Marcuuuuus, can I first 'f all buy breakfast in town? (>o<)"
