Before anyone can make any moves, though, Kee's X-Ray Specs are suddenly and literally stolen from right off of his face as a red-orange blur suddenly rushes past him!
"Ahahahaha!  That was too easy!  Oh man, I don't know what these do, but they look like they're pretty useful!  Score!"
Standing a little farther down the corridor now is a cat-like pokemon that looks like it's tail is on fire.  Or wait, is their tail made of fire? They're also wearing what looks like a simple purple mask that goes around their eyes.

Ziggy Kee's first and instant reaction to something or someone coming THAT close to him is to jump, take a VERY protective and defending stance with his body lowered and teeth bared, and staaaaare at red-orange blur waiting for it to dare taking any further action.

At the realization that this blur-creature doesn't pose an active threat, he calms down a bit, and so does his tension and stance. He quietly releases the breath he's been unknowingly holding.

(...) They put the X-Ray specs on and marvel at what everything around them looks like.  "Whooooooaaaaaaaa.  This is so cool!  Oh yeah, how do I look?  Does it clash with the mask at all?  Purple glasses, purple mask?  That should look fine, right?" (...)

About that, Ziggy Kee can only laugh. Joyously and cheerfully so even. "Ahahaha, pretty cool 'ndeed, huh? Careful though, ya may get dizzy if ya wear them for too long without bein' used to see tha s'rroundings through 'em."

Their question how they look and whether it doesn't clash with their purple mask earns them a rating and surveying look from the smol crittercoon:

"Am 'fraid it DOES clash with yar purple mask, Axel. Nat much, but 'nough to distract from yar other features." Huh. Kee further staaaares at them in a somewhat...friendly manner. "Something black or t'least dark would match yar orange fur MUCH better! Like, switch that mask, get a more fanceh one. Such glasses don't suit ya. Gotta leave a good 'mpression on yar fans and leave an image in their mind, easy t'do with some careful thoughts put into yar outfit and looks, ya know!~"

Congratulation Axel, seems you managed to get Kee talking about something he likes and enjoys: Fashion!☆ Given how human-him used to put a good amount of time into his outfits and and always looked like he just escaped a techno rave, he's more than happy★ to give advice and help others in improving their looks and appearance.

Naturally he's NOT too happy about them having stolen their precious X-Ray Specs. However, Kee swallows and hides that as of yet, possibly he and Pyra could get them to return them themselves if buttering them up and sweet-talking them to a good degree.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group use this opportunity/distraction (regardless of it works or not) to try and surround Axel and block off his escape route, so that he has NO way of getting out without having to go through the group. Karen would be one of the first to realize what Pyra was trying to do, as she IS the resident empath of the group, so she could be the one to lead off this and get a much needed confidence boost if she succeeds.

Oh, and as Kee continues to chatter off, he slowly walks closer and begins to circle Axel to take a good look at him from all sides. "...Yar fans gotta recognize ya 'fter all, ya see!~~ See how one of my ears is colored yellow, for 'xample? Or my purple tailtip? Ye ever heard of a Zigzagoon with the same markings? Surely nat, ahahaha!~ Gotta EMBRACE and LIVE yar individuality, brush up an' show some of yar unique traits to tha world!~ THAT WAE yar fans will recognize ya even if they take a short glance at ya. ...Ya understand? Some fur coloring would do ya well." ☆(^v^ )

"Like, ME hasn't heard of ya yet, bit of a shame. What makes ya tha AMAZING Axel?"
