, He Was Getting Out Of This One. Too Bad She Wasn't A VAMPIRE Or Something That He Could Have Just

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ—ㅤ𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒉, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒂𝒚 he was getting out of this one. Too bad she wasn't a VAMPIRE or something that he could have just easily ' convinced ' her with his book. He would have felt bad about it anyway. He certainly did after he had used the book to manipulate Mademoiselle Domi.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤA glance was directed towards the small flock of butterflies lingering over the doors. Geez, she REALLY didn't want him leaving.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤYou didn't HAVE to lock the door, Mademoiselle !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe boy says with a pout on his face. But at least it looked like he had FINALLY surrendered to the woman. Hopefully there wouldn't be any unintended consequences. After all, his ' guardian ' wasn't the most welcoming person.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤOkay, fine. I guess if you're NOT going to let me out otherwise, I guess I'll let you walk me back !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤNext time, he was definitely going to THINK TWICE about walking into businesses !

He was certainly right she wouldn't take that excuse involving his dog either. Rather his explanation was met with a slight raise of her eyebrows and light flick of her tail. Even if he could rely on his dog, she really didn't want to be so irresponsible as she was taking whomever was supposed to be caring for him was.

"Well, despite my near equally short legs to yours I can happily walk quite far. And now knowing you get tired easily I couldn't possibly let you go home alone. Even with Etoilé being about to carry you." Charlotte was doing her best not to overstep too hard on scolding him, though she did wave her hand lightly in emphasis to her words, "So, I really must insist that I escort you back if you're rather far from home. Now no more little excuses, please."

She really wasn't going to let him give her too many more excuses, as she sent out a few other butterflies behind her to speed up locking up the shop. It rubbed her the wrong way to be irresponsible about him, and she wanted to better gauge the actual safety of the town. Escorting him was just not something she was going to be talked out of.

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑯𝒆'𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓. It would have been quite SILLY for a literal ghost specialist to be afraid of ghosts. The only thing he was really worried about was the possibility of it being a STRONG ghost Pokémon or perhaps even multiple strong ghost Pokémon. After all, he had no idea how this guy's ability as a Pokémon trainer wasㅤ—ㅤor if he even WAS one.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤO - Okay ! Thanks ! I'll follow you !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe boy speaks; carefully TRAILING BEHIND the older teenager towards the back of that quaint little cafe.

" Probably. I mean, it's likely the only way we'd know for sure, right? C'mon, I'll show you how to get behind the shop. "

He's not so much afraid as he is curious. If it's just a ghost Pokemon, then that means there's an easy explanation, one that can be easily taken care of with a simple relocation. He quietly gestures for the other to follow him.

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕 compared to the rest of the adults he usually came across. Then again, it didn't exactly take a genius to realize that a frail and petite Parisian child could not have caused THIS much damage on his own ( well, he could with his book but that wasn't the case here ).

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤHonestly, Mademoiselleㅤ—ㅤEtoilé looks after ME more than I look after her ! But okay, fine. She DID do it. She probably didn't LIKE the decorations. Sorry about that.ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤNow that he thought about it, it was those STRANGE DECORATIONS that had drawn him to that house in the first place. No ulterior motive had been in his mind at all for once; just the curiosity of WHAT those strange things had been for.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWhat were those decorations even for anyway ? What kind of EVENT ?ㅤ❜

Her gaze moved down to the dog before right back up to the child, her arms still crossed in front of her chest. The answer from the child was expected. She probably would've said the same in his situation. A frustrated sigh passed her lips as she shook her head. All of this had been nothing but frustrating and slowly but surely time was running out and she wouldn't be able to keep on going like this, at least not as long as she didn't take care of all the things that were trying to ruin it.

" Did your dog do it?" Aurelia asked. If her thoughts would be confirmed, it would at least give her some closure on the situation, in this case. ( At least it weren't these cats trying to destroy her things, again. ) Plus she could ask the child to help with cleaning up as well as doing new ones in return for his dog destroying these decorations.

" If curses were real, I'm sure this entire event is cursed. It hasn't been the first time the decorations got destroyed. " She admitted, more to herself than to the child. " But why were you even there in the first place? Especially with your dog? You really should look out for it more. "
