Seldom did it occur to him to look up when he was walking the streets of Sunyshore, or anywhere other than the beach. He wasn’t the inattentive sort - rather, it had never occurred to him that there might be any reason to look up.
So it caught him completely by surprise when the bundle of berries rained upon him. He ducked quickly to protect himself, but something particularly ripe hit him square in the shoulder - and burst.
“ugh-” the smell was sickly and sweet - and all over his jacket, which he quickly slid out of and folded up so he didn’t have to touch it.
His attention turned quickly to the perpetrator, and he did his utmost not to look annoyed. To the girl’s credit, she at least appeared genuinely apologetic. “These yours?” He’d begun helping her gather her things again, trying all the while to ignore the state of his jacket. “You should be more careful next time,” he paused, “and why in the world were you up there in the first place?”
Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. Damn, that falling berry had gotten the poor stranger real good. She winced and finished climbing down from the building, rushing over to the man. Unsure what to do she tried not to let a nervous laugh escape her.
Sheepishness was very much in evidence as she started to try picking up the other things that had fallen from her, ❝Uh, huh, yeah, mine...sorry...❞
She scratched the back of her neck and fidgeted, chewing her lip as she shifted from foot to foot. At his question, she glanced back up at the building she had been trying to scale. She blinked and looked back to the man, shrugging like it was no big deal (but there was a flush to her cheeks).
❝I, uh, just...wanted to, uh...get a good view? Figure out where everything is, y’know? Cities are so different for me, I dunno how to work them out. Just tryna see where the Pokemon Center is.❞
