Meanwhile, the proprietor of the café is more than happy to store Kee's items, though she gives Kee a curious look when he asks what she thinks about humans and the recent rumors.

"Well, I can't say I either believe or disbelieve those rumors, dearie.  Seeing strange in the sky is odd, but they could be something else entirely.  Even if they do turn out to be humans, though, I've heard from my cousins on other continents that they're actually quite nice.  I don't see a reason to be as superstitious as most of the residents of the Sahra Town, to be perfectly honest.  Though I can hardly blame them for being wary.  You're a bit too young to know why, though, of course.  It was before your time.  The past is the past, however, and I see no reason to dwell on it.  And I'm more than happy to serve anyone that enters my establishment if they aren't causing trouble for the townsfolk."

It's then that Pyra enters the café to deposit her items, and the Parent pokemon is quick to pick up on how agitated the Devimp is.

"Well hello there, dearie!  Yes, I can absolutely hold onto that item for you.  Did something happen, though, dearie?  You can rest easy knowing your items are safe with me, so no need to look so wary."

Ziggy Kee eagerly listens to Kanga's words, tilting his furry head from one side to the other as he does so. It's obvious that he's contemplating what's being told to him, and that the words are going to linger on his mind for quite a while. Eventually he switches to a thankful nod and toothy smile. "That's 'n 'niteresting attitude 'ndeed... 'Specially since the others seem to be so wary an' suspicious upon having picked up this rumor-thingy. Eww..." He shakes himself, "Kinda curious 'bout hoomans though - heck knows, maybe they've even got GOOD intentions!!1", then gets into an eager and ready-to-explore stance. He doesn't seem to be afraid at all!

Now he's also 100% more curious about what what has happened in the past, that 'why' and that 'last time a human visited this world'. But he also feels that if he'll just ask now, he'll blow his cover... Damni t. DAMN IT INDEED.

Either way, he's got Items to give into Kanga's safe hands! "Collected quite tha nice haul during last missions, hehehe~ Here ya go!~"

Items that Kee stores

3 Tiny Reviver Seeds
1 Plain Seed
1 pitchblack Seed
1 X-Eye Seed
1 Quick Orb
The Pearl he snatched from Spoink

"That's all for now! Isn't that Pearl....quite pretty?!~" Kee can't help but to admire it a bit before handing it over. "Please take good care of this particular treasure of mine, thanks!~" (^v^ )

The brimstone imp's response to Kanguskhan was quick, effusing, yet comprehensive, her nerves and paranoia net quite yet calmed after she safely deposited her Big Nugget and 2x Units of Scrap Metal in the maternal marsupial manager's care, wringing her claws together as she practically vomitted out her words at record breaking speeds.

"Yes, yes, you are right and correct. Bumped into by a Machop while heading to Merchant Masters Kecleon. Spilled my gilded treasures, Gold Scarves and Big Nugget because of him, yes. Helped tidy up mess he made, undo his accidental assault, but started acting wierd and suspiciously, made haste to get away most Skittishly. Had run in with a Criminal Monferno in wretch Hall of Magic with my group - which we pounded and beat and turn into the police - who shared with us that he had fellow villains in town he worked with-for, and would fervently seek vengeance for his browbeaten apprehension. That and them together in pair made me.....nervous and wary, cautious of getting Ambushed by him or others later and lose my friends' treasures. Most fortunately I got to Kecleons Green and Purple without harry or issue, and they helped cover and protect my journey to your cosy café. That is all, the whole story of this, yes yes yes."

It should be noted that Pyra was very wound up about this incident, to the point of not noticing Kee even though he would probably be rather near her as she was so focused on getting her Big Nugget into Kang's care and recounting the aforementioned incident. No guess as to why she was so antsy for him, eh?

Something that Kee definitely does NOT like is being left unnoticed, regardless whether it's accidently or on purpose. But that huff of his is quickly shoved aside when Pyra quite literally talked not one but TWO miles a minute when recounting what has happened that put her into such a state. His expression to listening in to what she told Kanga- since, like, he was just next to the brimstone of a demon - turned to one that looked like he just swallowed several portions of Grimy Food.

To MAKE Pyra notice him AND to somewhat reassure he, Kee opts to give her a somewhat gentle get definitely perceptible headbut into her side; followed by him looking up to her with bright and confident deep-red eyes. "Hello there, Pyra-dear! Isn't that quite tha story ya're tellin'... "
