Kogeki turn his head to Kee/@Phantom. "What you think? Can we sell the Fresh Apple and share the money with the group? We need to sell that Flesh Apple right away to get more profit right now. That could help us a lot."

Ziggy Kee returns Kogeki's look, the fishes said Apple out of his stuff to place it on the counter. "That Apple's not 'fresh' anymore though, Kogeki - we pick'd it up yesterday, and should have sold it tha same day to get more cash for it than we'd get now. I'd rather keep it for now too - ya know, it's food, 'n runnin' around hungry is baaaad. I hadn't had any breakfast yet either!"

Right? Me outta-chara and Kee in-chara would rather keep a hold of that Apple now for ourselves, and I'm certain that we can't sell it for more cash than a regular Apple is worth.

Kee's got a better idea anyway. Upon having accepted the remaining cash he's got from selling his Gold Ribbon, he hands everyone ('everyone' means bar Marcus in this specific case) 250$ just like that. He seems embarassed and blushes faintly as he does so, but he means it. "Here, for everyone of ya. Just a small...gift I guess, do something nice with that cash or keep it, whatever ya may prefer. I could 'ave, uh, kept everythin' for mahself, but I don't want to...."
250$ x 4 = 1000$, Kee's keeping a hold of the remaining 1238$ by himself.

Pyra - who had up until then had been focused on practicing her emergent reading Skill on Marcus' newspapar - chimes in her agreement with the black 'n white crittercoon about that apple, looking up from the paper and giving them a smile and a nod. "Yes, indeed, that is most true and agreeable, Ziggy Kee! Aged food now can be saved for leaner times later, yes, and selling your Big Nugget have left you quite rich, so I do not believe you need to fatten your wallet's stomach present hence!" 

Since Dragonstrike has not explicitly stated she's Hungry yet, I will presume that she isn't, and therefore doesn't quite understand why Kee proclaims he's famished. And even if she was Hungry, she still wouldn't say anything, as she is currently prioritizing maintaining and increasing the group's stockpile of resources and exploring the town over answering her stomach's cry. She'll eat when she's starving or there's food cheap and in abundance for everyone, and that is that! Until then, she pretty much wants to continue looking around the town, particular the 'jail' that Flygon mentioned yesterday, the big tree, and the ocean side if there's enough time left in the day for that.

As for the Adventuring Guild, she's none too particularly interested in it, despite several Pokemon allusions to it or the punk star's own fascination and obscession with being an Explorer and part of that institution/lifestyle. It's not as if she hates or is totally apathetic to the whole deal, but right now its far down the list of her own priorities and curiosities/interests unlike with Kee, so she isn't too concerned or in a hurry to get to investigating it post haste.

Being freely given Poke by Kee was a shock to the lil' demoness, as she was not expecting to earn any such gain outside of Mystery Dungeon profiteering or plying whatever trade Skills she ends up developing, nor such generosity for pretty much doing less than nothing for them. She stares at the coinage in her claws in a debelieving daze for just a moment, before she quite suddenly hopped over and leaned down to give the 'coon with an 'tude a hug around his neck and a peck on the check, mummering gentle thanks to him.

"Oh thank you, my deepest gratitude for this gracious gift, Kee. Treasure and covet it, I shall, spending it vainly and unwisely, I shan't. Owe you now more than ever I do, but I'm happy to be great in debt to a sweet boy like you."

Just a quickly the moment ends and she pulls away, and Pyra is back standing with/around the resting of the group, hopping and shaking in anticipation to traveling to their next destination on Marcus' tour of Sahra Town!
