[While Kanji is busy sewing more poké-accessories Chiffon the Snubbull decided that now was the best time to steal Kanji's gear. It's pretty obvious that Chiffon is in the bathroom and the only thing that's clearly visible is the toilet. Welp... it was nice knowing you cruel world!!!-- but before Chiffon could successfully drop it in, he slips, and lands in the toilet instead.

The gear is facing up in between the toilet and the sink by this time.]

Shnuh-Shnuh!

What the-- Chiffon? Where'd you go... Chiff--ffffft. Man, looks like you got yourself into some kind of trouble. What in the hell were you doing in here anyways? [With that said and done, Kanji walks over to the toilet and grabs said pokémon and gear and then walks over to the sink. He places the gear on the soap dish and goes about cleaning Chiffon. In between scrubs he pauses and stops as he looks at his reflection in the mirror.]

What in the-- jeez! How did I let this get so bad? Unless I can find some bleach in a store here I guess I'll have to wear my breeders bandana until I get back to Goldenrod.

What are friends for?

Yeah. I'll make it up to ya later, promise.

Oh, so you'll ask Naoto on a date once we hit Goldenrod?

T-That's too soon Rise!

It'd just be out for dinner!

I don't even know how she feels about me right now! And-- And what if she says no?

She won't. [ like Rise wouldn't talk Naoto into it if she had second thoughts. ]

[just--khwaiohtaif--give him a moment sobbb]

[ she's just smiling.

SO ENCOURAGINGLY. ]

Is considering it good enough?

... Kanji, you're one of the bravest guys I know. But you need to stop running.

It's just... hard for me to do somethin' like this Rise. I'm not used to doing stuff like this. And even though I give off this cold exterior and "fuck all" attitude--I can get hurt just like you.

I know.

[ she knows very well. She remembers the way he'd hugged her when Naoto left, like he was trying so hard not to act like he was hurting, but her arms had ached for a good hour afterward. ]

Trust me, Kanji, I know you. And I know how scary taking a risk like this is. It's just as hard for me, too.

But you're stronger, you're better than you think you are. You've got to believe me on this, okay?

[Kanji looks down and sighs.] Fine okay. I'll... I'll do it-- but only if it feels right. If it doesn't then I'm not gonna ask until it does, okay? I know this isn't exactly what you wanna hear-- but it's a step up.

No, that's--

[ for all the teasing and pushing - and this isn't about to stop the former anytime soon - that's the assurance she wanted to hear from him. She smiles now, shaking her head. ]

You're doing great, Kanji.

Thanks Rise-- For all it's worth... Thanks.

C'mon, don't go getting all embarrassed on me now.

[ that's you're welcome. ]

Che, as if!

I thiiiiink you're blushing...

Am not! You're makin' that up Rise.

I wouldn't lie about that.

Uh-huh, oh sure you wouldn't.

C'mon, Kanji, have a little more faith in me!

[He just shakes his head and laughs a little]

Alright, alright.

That's the spirit, Kanji!
