(@Lord Windos Have a ping in case you accidently overlooked/forgot about this post. Do you have something to respond or shall we assume that we made it to the Bank together? In the latter case I'll post what I'll do there, in the first case I'll wait for your reply.)


Ooooh, that aggressive and defensive primary reaction from Pyra caused Ziggy Kee's adrenaline level to insta-increase as he hisses and bears his teeth at the 'attacker', his bushy tail wagging in anticipitation over a fight against someone bigger than him !!1! ( ÒωÓ)و☆

...And then things made a turn by 180 degree as the furry punkstar finds himself lowly purring and massively blushing in Pyra's embrace. Him slightly snuggling up into her arms in a desperate attempt to hIDe hIs FaCE!11 didn't do the trick of reducing his embarassment and nervosity over being 1. being handled like a smol plushie and 2. all faintly and timidly enjoying the affection and not wanting to admit it. \(>< \) "Hehehe~... Yeah, uh, happeh t'see ya too, Pyra-dear... 'S good ya're 'ppearantly back to your, uh, chiper an' eager self", he mumbles through her arms and his claws.

The mentioning of WeALtH!1 causes a rush of excitement run through his body like a light electric shock would do and his eyes to seemingly glow. "Pr'ferably over at Duskull's Bank please!~ How lucky for us as I was JUUUUUUST 'bout to head there mahself, isn't it?~~ *sweet and charming smile* Oh an 'F COURSE I'll protect, cover 'n d'fend ya, but I uuunfortunately can't if ya won't let me go..." He looks uncomfortable in her embrace, but comfortable as well the same time... Very mixed and in conflict with himself, so to say.

(So SO sorry about not responding to you for so long dear, I just have been extremely busy these past few days!)

If Pyra's recognition of him was not so quick, then the threatening posturing of Kee and their willingness to tussle would've earned him more than a simple cuff. Fortunately for him (or not?) he was spared such a painful rebuttal, and the lil' fiendess was far to absorbed in enjoying her reunion with her furry friend to cause him any harm regardless at this point! Heck, his typical reactions to her swaddling affections only served to further magnify the feelings of bliss, comfort, and (oddly enough) strange affection she felt hold and nattering to him, as she found them to be strangely charming and endearing despite them (his reactions) still mystifying her. One day she'll figure out the deeper meaning behind them and (to an extent) Kogeki's own vivid tells to her friendly/playful gestures, mark her words!!!

That was a matter for future Pyra, however! For now, all she cares about is enjoying and reveling in her reunion with Kee to her fulllest! Case in point she started to return his own snuggling with some of her own, nuzzling deeply into his neck and letting out a happy *humm*~ of agreement to his words, unknowningly treating him like someone very close to her in front on the whole diner. Oh la la ~.....

His decision earns him another bright smile from the mischevious demoness (after she pulls slightly away from him), though his request to be let down dampened it bit as she (for reasons that also escaped her, hrm....) felt highly reluctant to do so. That dip in her mood, however, triggered a few details that escaped her in her previous panic, causing her to let out a loud "Oh!" before promptly dropping Kee like a sack of Berries in order to root around in her Bag. After about a second of searching her eyes lit up, and soon she pulled out two Items and presented them to the black 'n white crittercoon with beaming delight: A TM of Swagger and a Pecha Scarf!!

"Look, look, and see, Ziggy Kee! Remember now I have brought these! Saw them in Merchant Masters Keckleon's shop, yes, and asked and inquired what they were. Told me they did, and knew then I HAD to have them, yes yes! Sold my Nugget Huge for them, yes, but not only those just, no! Spent more of my gold's worth to buy more supplies and neat babbles for all of us!"

The brimstone imp they proceeded to lay out the rest of her purchases to him: A Lob Orb (Can be thrown at someone/something as a Single Target explosive), A Revive All Orb (Revives ALL Party Members, Allies, and Non-Hostiles of the user's choice, but has to be used manually and Reviver/Tiny Reviver Seeds take precedent over them), 1 Oran Berry, 1 Persim Berry, 1 Tiny Reviver Seed (Currently being Held), 2 Apples, and 2 Geo Pebbles! Yikes, that's a lot of Items! Inferno knows how much she spent on it all!! She goes on to explain that everything else mentioned would be delivered to Kang. later thank to the gracious generosity of the Keckelon brothers, and that she had the rest of her Big Nugget's value as Poke she want to put in the bank post haste. In sum: the group had receivedieved quite the windfall.

This naturally lead her to energetically conclude her speel by hastily donning the Pecha Scarf (does it count as an Apparel Item, or as a Held Item? If the later, in the Beg her Tiny Reviver Seed goes!), stuffing TM Swagger back into her Bag, and bombastically pointing to the exit of the diner. "Right, correct, all of that said, so let us make haste to Deposit our wealth with Safety Deposit Duskull, and share with our friends my good and bad news, yes yes yes!"

Dear oh dear, how Pyra's energy and whimsical mood make for a spectacular pairing when her spirits were high!

(Surprise, everyone: Use my Big Nugget to buy a LOT of supplies for the group, chief among them being Swagger, which can function as a + 2 STR Buff for anyone in the party at the cost of becoming Confused! Now comes the important part: who's going to be the one to learns it? Let's first inform everyone of the group about it first IC, THEN hash it out in the Meta Thread, please!)
