[ So Cilan had decided he really had to take that spicy food challenge advertised on the Verens task board and also get involved in showcasing clothing down in Shaarnath, and fortunately for the multi-talented connoisseur, taking a trip down to the desert city and keeping on that culinary lifestyle wasn't a tricky task. The two Trainers could even meet up outside one of the few restaurants they had in the city, a tiny outdoor table grabbed for them by Red before Cilan arrived there. ...just so Charizard could sit with them, eager for whatever Cilan had his eye on, on the menu.
(please buy him for too, tia.)
The more eyebrow raising thing here wasn't the fact that Red was on his second drink of an alcoholic variety already, in a more mug-shaped cup than anything fancy as back in Verens. Why would Red be looking at Cilan weirdly over his own tastes?
No. Cilan was definitely the one getting the awkward eyebrow. ]
...aren't you bored of eating the same thing yet?
[ don't you miss ice cream cilan ]

[ don't you miss ice cream cilan ]
[Yeah, he's probably gotten quite the eyebrow at the number of spicy foods he's been eating lately... or maybe it's because of the clothes he's been wearing, or both. Regardless, he shrugs at that.]
Hmm... I suppose I do miss them a little, but this just means that I'll appreciate those flavors even more than ever before once I've sampled all of the different spices I can find this month!

This month, all month, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. [ Just in case Cilan forgot after five days of it. ] Are you really going to make it? You work with food all the time... all you'd have to do is eat a plate of fries without any spice...
And that's it! You're done!
...
Unless you decide to cheat.

[ Leeeaning in. ]
Not even if you can make up a good excuse to explain how it's not cheating?

Hmmmm...
[ It's not a sound of distrust. Just... ]
...But you could think of something that would work. Right?

[ Ruuudeeee! ]
I'm not saying you should! I'm just saying you could because you're smart!
[ don't pick on hiiiim ]

I know that. You wouldn't be you if you didn't! > Pointing it out's different from tempting.
[ Red would never tempt anyone to cheat, thank you very much!!
...but, with a pause: ]
...Have you ever cheated before?

[ So was Giovanni. ]
Okay. [ Well, Red's easily content with that answer. But guess what? ]
So, after that comes... most embarrassing memory? Unless it's time to ask me questions.
[ Did this just turn into a question game? Why not? ]

[ Did this just turn into a question game? Why not? ]
Well... I don't really care about an embarrassing memory. But after asking if you ever cheated before, it matches, doesn't it?
[ That explains that part, but a slight tip to Red's head follows. ]
I've just been thinking... you can never know enough about someone. [ He's looking down at their table, but then gives a light shrug, smiling back over to Cilan. ] We can just talk about your day if you want. Did you have fun?

What is it? Isn't it just the same cloaks and robes they usually wear around here?
[ ...slowly....squinting...?? ]
No...? That's.... you mean the shows that cast magic spells?
[ Like wizards?? ]
No...? That's.... you mean the shows that cast magic spells?
[ Like wizards?? ]
Yes! And usually, they use these spells against rogue or sometimes even giant Pokemon that attack the city or something in order to defend the people and send them back to their own homes instead, while wearing colorful outfits and uniforms as they do so!
[... Or against different creatures for those worlds that don't have Pokemon in them for their magical girl shows.]

[ Just going to take a sip from his drink here. ]
Hmmm... I don't remember anything like that. I just remember a show that was set in the past where a group banded together to go after the big evil, and they all used the magic they learned on their journey!
[ Speaking of shows, this kind of reminds him of... ]

CILAN! DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE SPACE WOMAN WHO HAS SPACE ROBOTS?

A woman! She's from space and has a space fleet that are robots that transform!
She's a princess too! Princess Allura!
