And whatever we don't eat, you can have as left over or feed to the pokemon!

[He walks up to the foodtruck, orders their food, and pays, then moves off to the side while they wait.]

You have any plans for the coming months?

[shiningkindness]

[ Fluttershy giggles softly. ] That is true.

[ She does think for a moment as she considers his question, then shakes her head a little. ]

Not really. I haven't really thought much about what else I'm doing aside from working.

[ She might have thrown herself into her job after he left. ]

[thetombkeeper]

[Marik knows why.

He reaches for her hand and takes it into both of his, placing a feather soft kiss to her knuckles.]

... Don't let it consume your time. Maybe... you could pick up a new hobby? And your pokémon can help you with it. Like, something you could do together.

[Rana would gladly help regardless of what it might be. He has hands, after all. Shadowy hands but they're still hands.]

[shiningkindness]

[ Fluttershy feels her cheeks warm at the sweet gesture, even as she ducks her head a bit. ]

I-I mean...it's not like I don't enjoy what I do. I get to help Pokemon, which always makes me happy.

[ But she does know that she should do more than just work. ]

...but yeah. A new hobby might be a good idea. I'll see if there's something my Pokemon and I can do together.

[thetombkeeper]

[Gods, he missed this. Looking back at the time that's passed and being able to remember everything now... It makes him happy to be with her.

Marik continues to hold Shy's hand with both of his own.]

That's a good idea. Even if it's something you just do once a week, I think it will help you.

[Because he wants her to be happy now that he can't be here to do so himself.]

Have you ever tried your hand at painting? That could be really fun with the pokémon.

[shiningkindness]

[ Fluttershy hums softly, giving his hands a gentle squeeze. It's been difficult, missing him so much, but she doesn't want him to worry about her. ]

Well...I've painted a few things before, but I've never really learned how to paint. That could be fun, though, drawing and painting Pokemon. I could give that a try.

[thetombkeeper]

[Marik smiles at her.

He wants to tell Fluttershy that he'd love to see her work when he returns but... with it being so uncertain, it would only dampen the mood.]

Given how crafty and artistic you are already, I'm sure you'll be great at it.

Paintings would make really good gifts too. And you'd get to experiment with different brands and brushes. See what works best, gives you the look you're going for.

[He chuckles softly.]

You can get a cute apron too!

If we have time... I could take you shopping for all of that.


[ooc: and if you do ever want him visiting again "unofficially" for another 4th Wall, let me know. ♥]

[shiningkindness]

[ She honestly would love to show him any paintings she would make, but...she knows that it'd be unpredictable whether he'd come back or not. ]

That does sound nice. I'm sure people would love to have paintings of their Pokemon.

[ Or at least, she thinks it would make a great gift. ]

Really? You wouldn't mind going shopping with me?

(( ooc: aww, that would be cute! ))

[thetombkeeper]

Yeah! I know a certain few mischievous spoiled brats that would very much like paintings done of them.

[Usi and Oba.]

People would love it though. I know it.

[Marik grins and leans in to press a kiss to Shy's cheek.]

Why would I mind? I want to spend as much time as I can with you and... I like seeing you happy.
