Skyler had not really been outside of Spades and he clung to Pablo's pant leg as the elderly Scyther spoke over the vendor's wares. There were...all sorts of weird items, mostly made of metal.
"Yes, and I will need the nails by tomorrow." Pablo mumbled, looking the vendor- a blacksmith's husband- right in the eyes.
"Papa?" Skyler asked, looking across the way to what looked like a tailor's shop.
"And I am going to need eight sets of 2" and five of 4"."
"Papa?" Skyler tugged his father's pants.
Pablo shook his leg and glared down at the young Eevee, who immediately shut his little mouth.
It was never good to mess with Pablo. His papa was kind to his son but was a very proud, respected man. He did not have a lot of patience, either, and he hated whining and bugging, especially when they had gone out for one thing only. He did not come to hearts to buy dresses or new clothes. They had those for cheaper in Spades.
But still, Skyler wandered away from his papa, seeming brave for the first time but being sure to stay in sight. He pushed his hands up against the expensive glass and stared in at the fancy outfits. His tail wagged and he wanted so badly to go inside and try things on. He had not seen many dressed as he did, but it was his own style. He bet the one who made these outfits could make him a beautiful new dress.

Bo looked at his Papa's fabric and his eyes seemed to sparkle at the thought of that becoming a fabulous dress.
Leavanny leaned forward so that Bo could touch it. Bo stroked the fabric with care as if he was afraid to even damaging the precious feel of it.
The older Leavanny chuckled. "You like it Bo, don't you? I bet you can't wait to make the finest clothes out of it huh?"
Bo just nodded in awe. Leavanny chuckled again.
The Wurmple tinkled laugh turned Leavanny's head towards him. "You're son takes after you."
Leavanny smiled and pulled the cig out of his mouth. "You know it."
Leavanny then pulled out two coins and gave them to Bo. "Why don't you buy some of that sweet bread you wanted Bo."
Bo smiled and took the coins. "Thank you, papa. I'll be right back."
Bo rushed through the back door and towards the front, the bakery next to the tailor's shop.
Bo bought the two sweet honey bread in a brown bag and almost finished the first one, half of it in his mouth, when he saw a cute eevee pressing his nose against the glass of the tailor shop.
Bo smiled, the eevee was cute but the dress was plain and didn't do justice to the eevee at all.
Bo walked up next to the eevee all quietly, until he spoke. "They are very pretty aren't they?"

Skyler almost ran back to his papa when he was spoken to, but instead he quickly spun around and just looked at him, hands to his chest, eyes full of fear, lip quivering as if he was going to be hit. His big, timid brown eye shone brightly but the other was covered by the long bang of hair. He would normally blow it out of the way, but he was too scared to move for a moment.
When he realized the other had asked a question, he merely nodded his head and looked back at the outfits for a moment, then back to the other boy.
He loved his dress, personally. His papa had bought it for him in town. The eevee thought it made him look pretty, like they said their beloved Alice once looked.He had heard that the queen wore a dress too. Plain as it was, it truely reflected his personalty- plain and flat but still rather attractive.

Bo frowned and went up to the boy. "I don't mean to frighten you."
Bo then smiled and cocked his head to the side. "My name is Bo." Bo then pointed his finger towards the building. "Me and my papa are visiting this fabric shop to talk to Mr. Wurmple there. He's papa's old friend. He also gave me fabric to try to make my very first dress. Your dress looks a little plain but it looks like it was made for Tiny Alice. My papa told me stories all about alice. Are you alice? What's you're name?"
Bo started rambling but that is what Bo loves to do. He loves to talk, loves to gossip and he likes talking to the Eevee.
Bo then grabbed a piece of his bread and ate.

Skyler hugged his tail as the other rambled, making his ears fold back and his lip quivered wildly. He had never heard so many words at once. Pablo spoke slowly and only what needed to be said was uttered.
He looked at his papa when the other mentioned why he was here. "I-" He was cut off. He looked down at his dress when the other mentioned how it was plain. "What's-" Again, cut off. "No, I'm-" Again, cut off. Then the other was eating and he was silenced. "Sk..Sk...Skyler." He said in a tiny voice. He hated that name, he really did.
"I...I'm here...with my Papa." He looked to Pablo, who was eyeing the nails and muttering about them. "And...why is it plain?" He thought it was gorgeous.

Bo sighed. "It's the color, It looks like a dull pink."
Bo gobbled the piece of bread and took another.
"But that's a cool name. Like the sky. Very good name. Maybe you were named after the sky so that your dreams can reach up and beyond."
Bo put the bag by his side and twirled around for show. At the end, he fluffed his fluff and battered his eye lashes at skyler.
"My papa named me after Beau. Meaning beautiful in some other language."
Bo smiled and took Skyler's hand. "Do you want to come in? I'm sure there a re plenty of dresses to try on."

Skyler frowned. "I'm named after my uncle." He said softly, still looking at his dress. He liked the dull pink. It really brought out his eyes.
At the other's offer, he looked back to his papa, then at the other. "um..no..papa and I are just here for the nails. I'm not supposed to wander and he certainly won't be buying any new clothes while he's here." He frowned.
"But maybe next time, Beau."

Bo giggled and jumped up and down. "Aw! It's sweet that you think I'm beautiful!"
Bo knew Skyler called him beautiful in french by accident but Bo didn't say anything.
"Oh! But here!" Bo reached in his skirt pocket for a piece of lace and broke off a piece of bread.
"Here you go. I'll be seeing you later then."
Bo smiled sweetly at Skyler

Skyler's face contorted and he made no reply to the claim. He had said no such thing...at least, he didn't think he had. He had just said the other's name, right?
Hearts was confusing. In Spades, he doubted anyone pandered about and made such a fuss like this and it caused him to scratch behind his head with confusion. What a weirdo...
Skyler looked at the bread offered and was about to take a bite when something smacked it out of his hands. "SKYLER."
The voice was undeniably his Papa, Pablo's. The scyther's protective hands pulled Skyler by the tail until he was behind him. "You know better than to take strange food from strange people!"
The grizzly scyther pushed his finger into Bo's nose. "Now you see here, boy. You just clear off and stop sharing your poison with my boy. Just 'cause we ain't from here don't mean we mean any harm. Now scoot! Clear off."
Skyler's ears were lowered and he again took hold of his Papa's pantleg, giving Bo an apologetic look.

Bo was hurt to be yelled at. Bo's papa was strict but when it can to scolding Bo he was firm but gentle.Bo sniffled and turned his nose upwards, fighting back the tears that threaten to spill over.
Bo muttered to himself. "Man has no manners."
But when he looked at Skyler he truly feels sad and hopes he meets him again.
Bo turned around and ran inside the tailor shop, straight into his papa's arms.

Skyler looked up at his Papa, who it seemed was finished with his nail shopping. The Scyther folded his arms and frowned down at his charge. "Skyler, you know you're not supposed to be wandering off when I'm busy." His voice was calmer.
"yes, Papa. I'm sorry." He whimpered.
"He could have poisoned you! You don't know what's in that bread."
"You're right, Papa..." The scyther knelt so he was eye level.
"Come on. Let's go home." He loaded Skyler into his arms, holding him under the armpits and sort of hauling him in one hand, the bag of nails in the other.
"Papa?"
"Yes, Skyler?"
"They had really lovely outfits at that store."
"Did they?" His voice was almost a dare.
"Maybe...for my birthday..."
"We'll see, Skyler. I told you, birthdays don't happen very often."

Bo sniffled as Leavanny calmed his little son down.
"What is wrong little one?"
Bo shook his head, afraid that tears might start to roll down his eyes.
"I saw that you talking to someone outside Bo. A new friend."
Bo hiccuped as the last of his tears started to stop and rubbed his eyes.
"I'm....I'm....I'm afraid I might...n-n-not see him....again."
Leavanny crouched down and wiped the tears that began anew. 'Well, I'm sure that if you've already meet your friend, you'll see him again."
Bo looked up at his Papa, doubting him yet hope filled his eyes. "How do you know?"
Leavanny picked up Bo and place him against his shoulder as he slung up his overnight bag. "Fate is mysterious like that. I'm sure everything will work out in the end."
Leavanny kissed Bo on the forehead as Bo snuggled closer to his pa. Bo believed his father and he hoped that he'll meet Skyler again.
"Come on little one. Time to head home."
