Watching Hikari unlock her front door, Looker glanced around at Twinleaf’s scenery. It was a nice, cosy place. Safe, he thought. Seeing how Hikari took her boots off before stepping inside, Looker decided to do the same; manners were important, after all. The minute he stepped inside, he was slapped in the face with the smell of pork. Looker could have sworn he gasped a little; going from, noodles to… This was quite the shock.
The sound of someone else’s voice brought the officer back into reality, his gaze settling on a young woman who had just poked her head around the corner. Hikari’s mother. Looker failed to notice her slight change in expression, && gave her a smile in return,
❝ A-Ah, yes! I must thank you for your hospitality, Mrs Miyamoto. ❞ He chuckled at her comment, looking down at Hikari with an amused look, ❝ does she, now? Hm! ❞ He wouldn’t release Jeff unless he was told it was alright, just in case. ❝ It was also Hikari who has gifted me with Bessie, my Buneary, ha! ❞
` ALWAYS SUCH A generous girl, isn’t she? ` her expression softens when she looks at hikari, who makes a vulgar farting noise with her mouth in return. ayako laughs, then looks at looker without the tightness that had been in her smile before, ` call me ayako. ` the woman disappears back into the kitchen, and hikari turns on her heel to looker.
gesturing broadly to the living room, she grins, ` i’m gonna help mom with dinner. feel free to look around... or something! ` hikari stands on her toes, arms outstretching to fix a few stray hairs on looker’s head before patting his scruffy cheeks.
then she turns away, bounces off into the kitchen. honestly, she feels more happy than she has in months. giratina hasn’t surfaced at all today, she’s barely even noticed its presence! pure elation washes over her and she hums while she helps her mother, setting up the dinner table for three. three. it’s always been two---but now... maybe things can change.
