After the three of us left the lobby, we started to wander the city, looking around for a place to eat food. Even though there was a lot of variety, it still felt a little hard to decide on a place. Eventually though, we did find a place to sit down and eat. Fang was still doing her thing, being lewd and trying to get me hot again. At least she tried to keep her voice down while we were sitting down and eating. I paid with a couple gold pieces, then the three of us went on into the city. I still didn't want to disturb Sky while she was resting, so I didn't want us to head back just yet. Lute and Fang thought that was a good idea as well, with the former even mentioning that she wanted to do some shopping. I let out a sigh and looked towards the sky. A walk outside does sound nice, even if I wasn't going to do a lot. Though, that did bring up the idea about Lute and her pendant. I thought about giving it to her like I did with Sky, though something stopped me, sipping into my mind like drops of water into a cup.

We had gone into one of the shopping areas in the city. Lute had started window shopping as she called it. We went from one store to another, but staying in the sun was starting to get me hot, and not because of Fang. I was starting to sweat a bit, and I think Lute and Fang were noticing. Lute asked why I had my hood up, and when I told her I was scared that I was going to get spotted, she told me that most others aren't very confrontational in the north, even if they are famous. I mean... it would kind of explain why Lute wasn't getting swarmed with fans and all that. Lute eventually coaxed me into taking my hood off. I was hesitant, but when it came off and I didn't see Pokémon trying to pile on top of me, I at least breathed a sigh of relief that at least that wasn't going to happen. I was still nervous that something was going to happen, but all I could really do at this point was just walk with Lute and Fang.

I got others looking at me in shock and surprise, but otherwise, what Lute said was holding up pretty well. I tried to keep my head low, but at least I wasn't getting hot as quickly. As Fang went with Lute from one store to another, I started to think to myself. I mean, now that I think about it, I got a gift for Lute and Sky, I could only imagine what it would look like if I gave one to Lute without having one for her. I sighed, now trying to think of what I could get Fang.

Cassius. I snapped out of my thoughts for a second, realizing it was Jet who spoke to me.

Yeah?

I hope you know that sometimes, you can be hopeless. You're way too easy to sway. I scoffed slightly.

Yeah, but so are you.

Am not.

Hey, if you're a part of me and feel everything I do, then that means you would have done something similar to me. So yeah, you are. There was silence for a second before I heard Jet grumbling. I smirked a little bit at my own little victory.

It's not my fault you have no discipline. Jet grumbled.

Technically, it is.

Just shut up. Jet said. Listen, if you really want to get something for Fang, then how about you get her something like you got Lute and Sky? I stopped thinking for a second, turning my eyes behind me like Jet was actually there.

Wait a second, it was your idea to get them, so you got them.

But you're the one who got them! I heard Jet groan. I don't even know why I'm arguing with you about this. Look, we both gave it to them, okay? Does that sound better? Now if you're done trying to point fingers, how about you get Fang something like a ring? I thought about it for a second, then looked over at Fang who was talking to Lute in front of an aroma store. Both of them turned their heads towards me. I quickly looked away, trying not to look at them. I didn't want to give away any idea that I had something or was going to get something for them. Though, a ring did sound nice. But something made me hesitate. Wasn't there something about ring size?
