▐「☯」— For Lucario at least, the feeling of being treated with such a passive attitude when he was an unknown through another unknown’s eyes was strange——a tad suspicious, if given the case. That minuscule feeling put him into a thoughtful mood for less than a second, inmediatly labelling it as an unimportant matter.
As for him, looking for a lost child and bringing them back to their disquiet family was a perfectly natural and obvious duty to accomplish. If he were to commit the dreadful error of ignoring that situation, the metaphorical possibility for the pup to, like a red apple, slip away and fall existed in a very high percentage. And who could assure Lucario that fate will dictate a happy end for the little creature?
The blue jackal didn’t late to understand the selection of words pronounced by the young boy——yes——Lucario could even declare that these matched with the aura emitted by the other: A pure aura of sincerity and kindness. It was a relief to know that the Riolu was close to an unhazardous human being, why yes, indeed… However, and sadly enough for the destiny of a path full of pink agreements, the boy’s last statement:
”[…]do you need this Riolu?”
Was labelled as a dare for the auric canine. Of course, Lucario wouldn’t resort to brute force just because of a minuscule misunderstanding, as he merely felt a bit peeved by the redundancy of the quite obvious inquiry. He wasn’t chasing after Riolu for entertaining purposes, nor he wanted to hurt them by all means. In order to clarify the actual situation and the reasons behind his rush to catch the pup, Lucario attempted to communicate with the boy through his primitive learning of the human language.
❝Riolu, I need not. Family, concern, ask me catch him. They need, I not.❞ Inmediatly considering that his information may have not been convincing enough for the other, he didn’t leave time for a response, and inmediatly added: ❝Flee home, he. I rescuer; I help! Riolu, back home, I must.❞
▐ ❝I promised.❞ |「やくそく。」▐
From Kyo's state, he didn't know whether or not the Lucario was a friend of the Riolu, an assumption he made when the other had come forward. However, the next few words caused a look of pure shock and surprise on his face. Typically most pokémon (yes, even Lucario's) made soft noises, growls, barks, something to show their reaction was negative, but this one slowly enuciated words that --despite their broken nature-- was understood. The family was concerned, they asked this Lucario to catch the Riolu and bring him home. Then the noise, something that seemed to ease the surprise from his shoulders as a side-ways smile escaped Kyo.
"I understand." And he couldn't wait to tell everyone about the Lucario he met that could speak. However, as he glanced behind him to the pup who's acting was a unfortunately convincing, he returned his gaze back to the elder with a sheepish, almost unsure look. "But that doesn't help the situation unfortunately, he's...kind've attached." And not as-in the attached to him, but literally attached, to his leg. Though he also had the idea that if Kyo attempted to allow the Lucario close enough to nab Riolu, then he'd end up with a 'round-the-Kyo-we-go' game with Riolu using him as an obstacle and --perhaps-- climbing up onto his shoulders to keep from reach.
So, here was the question. Then, an idea popped into his head.
Shifting to sit down, the Riolu moved out to his side to allow room, but still much-to-close to the trainer for him to be an easy target for Lucario to grab. Kyo's hands were digging through the bag before he faked forward, arms wrapping around the Riolu as it gave a yip in surprise, pulling the pup into his arms and holding him securely with a grin. Though it might be a rather disappointed at his idea, he gave a childish grin to the Lucario in front of him and lifted the pup slightly before pushing himself back to his feet.
The little Riolu now stuck in his arms as he walked closer to him, "Why don't I help you take him back? Promise I won't get in the way and will hand him over when you say so!" He could even pull out his own lucario if there was a need for it. His fingers rubbed lightly at the pup's belly, causing it to wriggle lightly to the treatment, giving a sound off as a kind of giggle. An almost reminiscent smile touching his lips; he had no plans on capturing this Riolu and no plans on harming it in any way, but it certainly did remind him of being on the ranch and finding a hurt Lucario that he had captured, healed and then just let him follow along ...
"You might not believe me, but I really like Riolu's and Lucario's too. They're really great companions to have."
