Need to talk privately with Cilan? Send him a message via the crystal or carrier pigeon? Want to meet with him without posting a log for it? Here's the place to do it!
It's considered a necessary ingredient in the lifestyle of a Pokemon Connoisseur, so... you'd probably be considered to have a strange taste if you didn't do so, I think.
[... Which is a pretty fancy way of saying yes, you have to talk like this if you're gonna call yourself a Pokemon Connoisseur.]
There are plenty of Pokemon Connoisseurs that are not chefs, but they still speak that way nonetheless.
[... So it's not really much of a factor stopping people from talking in food puns anyway.]
Of course, we all have our own unique spin to it too, despite that. After all, the way I might describe something's taste might be different in comparison to how another would describe it, due to their own personal feelings or abilities as a connoisseur.
Ah, I see... [Hizumi doesn't have to explain much to get Cilan to nod.]
Is there something that I can do to help?
[Are we talking that we need to be giving cooking lessons here, or full-blown kick this person's door down and shove food at them that you want happening here.]
[Kicking down the door is close, if impossible due to the kid not living in a space that has a door to kick down in the first place.
Despite living here for a month already.
Do not underestimate how bad this child is at taking care of himself.]
I guess... if you happen to have food on you, and you happen to see a kid with silvery hair and blue eyes walkin' around in all black and lookin' like he hasn't had a meal in a while...
Maybe give him a little somethin' to keep him goin'?
[He even helpfully provides a mental image. This kid is... definitely skin and bones, by the looks of him. Not to the point of being in danger of starvation, but concerning nevertheless.]
[The link cuts right after Cilan's had a chance to see the boy. There's a lot of complicated feelings about this kid, and he's not about to let any of it through.]
Eyes Rutherford. He's from the same world as me, but... he's from a few years back, so even though he's supposed to be a year older than me, he's just a kid.
He's this famous musician by my time, but it looks like this place grabbed him before his debut. He always came off as pretty serious in all the interviews I caught... it was a huge surprise to find out he's a real brat.
[... His name is literally Eyes--actually you know what, Cilan's friends with a guy whose name is literally the letter "N", he can accept this as a real name too.]
Hm, I think I understand this taste: regardless of where and when people come from, when it's someone with a familiar flavor, we can't help but take interest in them despite the circumstances.
[That's probably why Cilan seemed to care an awful lot about Trip, or even said letter-name N for the brief time that he was here, despite the fact that particular N didn't know Cilan very well.]
Don't worry: if I see him, I'll do whatever I can to help him out.
I'll keep that in mind. [Like Hizumi suspects, Cilan's kind of used to dealing with people and Pokemon like that. He'll just have to do his best here if he sees this Eyes kid around somewhere.
Cilan's Pokemon, from where they've been listening, also offer a nod (Pansage in particular offering a salute too); if they see that Eyes kid, they'll try to do whatever they can to help too?]
[One of what? Well, who knows. It'll be up to Cilan to cash in on it - provided he actually does end up catching Eyes at some point. Currently, Hizumi's strategy is to cast a wide net and see what happens.
Doesn't change the fact that he's actually pretty cheery for the extra help, though. Did the air just grow a bit warmer?]
Anyway, I should probably take off before Ayumu starts askin' where I am.
[He waves just as cheerily right back at Pansage.]
Definitely! And same goes for you, too- I might not look like it, but I'm pretty handy at all sortsa things!
[...Mainly because he has a natural talent for just about anything he tries but. Details. They've already chatted quite enough about Devil blood today, even if Cilan doesn't realize it.]

...Guess it makes sense if you're a cook, but what if you aren't into that at all?
[He said Pokemon Connoisseur, that's surely different from being a chef, right?]

But then something seems to occur to him. Cilan is a chef...]
Hey... You're good with cookin' and an-- sorry, pokémon, right?
no subject
[Why do you ask?]
no subject
...Ahhh, it might be too much of a pain.
[Scratches at the back of his head as he considers this.]
Basically... there's this Otherworlder kid I know who stinks at feedin' himself.

What's his name? Is he a friend of yours?

[Ugh.]
...I guess I just feel sorta responsible, y'know?

Thanks, I'd really appreciate it. [This may be one of the most genuine things he's said to Cilan.]
Just... be careful too, alright? He's sorta like a feral cat or somethin'. Real wary around strangers, y'know?
[Though if Cilan's used to working with ani- pokémon, hopefully he'll have an idea of how to help out despite that.]

--Ah, yes, of course! I hope I didn't take up too much of your time.
[Pansage now climbs up Cilan's arm so that he can be at eye-level with Hizumi and offer a wave. It was great meeting you!]
See you later, Hizumi... oh, and if you need anything else, you're free to call us anytime, alright?
[... I mean as long as it's not "help me get rid of a monster" type of request, but otherwise Cilan will be willing to help out with other stuff.]
no subject
