It was late afternoon when Ilmari left the shop. Misaki still hadn't made it back home and the whimsicott finally found time to himself to wander around a bit before going to train. Walking slowly down the street Ilmari had to hide a yawn. When had he truly last slept? It felt like it had been days now since his night training had began. I'll have to pass out eventually. Even Amalie was getting worried about him.
Sighing Ilmari turned around a corner. When would the worrying end? Just because those strangers had made him feel off...did he really have to train and work so hard? Still it was far better to be safe than sorry. Right?
"Or maybe I am just going crazy." Sighing once more Ilmari just continued on.

It had been a long time since she'd just gone for a walk on her own. Truffles was dressed in her long jacket and hood to mask her appearance, daring to venture into town again. It'd been so long since she'd had a run-in... Maybe they'd forgotten about her by now.
Walking past a teen, her ears twitched under the hood and she snorted in sour amusement when she heard him talking to himself. "Already crazy if yer talkin' ta yerself," she muttered out loud without looking up. Why was she bothering to come to town again?

Ilmari nearly continued on before it registered that the girl had made a comment about him, "He-hey!" Flushing the whimsicott shook his head, "No my fault if there's someone out here creeping to hear me." He wanted to continue on and just brush off the girl's comment, but worry stopped him.
"Actually." Ilmari turned around and caught up to the girl to catch her arm, "You shouldn't be in this area so late by yourself." His amber gaze was full of concern as he looked into the face of another poke-human, "It's really dangerous." Even if he and Kenna had just fought out a bunch of troublemakers...it didn't make the streets any more safe for a child.

Truffles smirked lightly and giggled at the flustered reply. With someone around or not, the guy was talking to himself.
When she heard the hurried footsteps coming up, she tensed and felt her heart pick up. She growled as her arm was grabbed, baring her teeth at the concerned face looking down at her. "Do I look worried about a bunch of punks around town?" she snarled, giving her arm a yank to free it.

At the growl Ilmari immediately tensed before relaxing with a sigh, "That's exactly why I'm concerned." He replied letting go of her arm yet staying near her, "You shouldn't come growling in unknown streets." He had been coming her for a bit now and had never seen her before. He doubted these streets were her home cause of that.
He did let out a faint laugh though, "Someone else would have once growled at me like that too. And guess what? He always found a ton of trouble." Stupid Tryce with his bravado. All the times they had to fight when they were growing up...Ilmari just shook his head, "At least let me walk with you then?" He really doubted he would feel safe just leaving her on her own out here.

Truffles narrowed her eyes. "Unknown. Why should I be scared of that? I can handle myself."
Her nose twitched, and her gaze shifted away slightly. She knew a guy who found trouble. Heck, she tended to do the same. Not that she wanted to... "I don't know you, so I should avoid you, too, right?"

Maybe she was related to him somehow? Sighing Ilmari ran a hand through his hair, "Perhaps one day you'll understand what that can mean." Then again ignorance was bliss. If the girl was confident that was fine, but he really hoped no one would take advantage of it or try to shut her down.
"If I was going to do something to you I would have already." Replied Ilmari quietly, "But here...my name is Ilmari. So now you know me." He smiled briefly before looking around them one last time, "So where to, miss?"

Truffles pressed her lips, tail twitching with agitation under her coat. She knew what the unknown was... She should have just kept walking instead of getting this busybody's attention.
Well.... Shoot. He did have a point there. Usually, those dangerous to her would have acted already. "We'll see," she muttered stubbornly. "Ilmari, huh?" She huffed softly, a sarcasm now tainting her tone, "yeah. I know everythin' about ya now." Arms crossing, Truffles tapped her foot while wondering how far to trust the guy. "I... was just lookin' fer somethin' ta eat," she murmured, scuffing her foot against the sidewalk. "You go on home. I don't need anyone watchin' me eat."

Chuckling Ilmari looked towards the girl, "Then that's good. I don't have much to hide so here I am." Really he didn't. All that stuff was in the past with "Ace" and the others. Even then that had been long ago...he felt ancient just thinking about it.
"I won't watch you eat." Ilmari smiled, "I'm actually starving myself and know of a good restaurant." He motioned forward, "The order I have usually is way too much food though so why let it go to waste? Wanna split a burger or something? They're super huge." And it was out in the open away from these back streets.

The guy did seem pretty open... and the offer to help her with food was almost too good to be true. Huge burgers that even this big guy couldn't finish off? Maybe he just had a tiny stomach. Or was fibbing. ....Well, either way, it would be nice to have someone else cooking.
She licked her lips and made a quick glance around. Maybe it would be okay; just this once. "Fine. Twist my arm, why don'tchya?" She debated another moment, and then said softly, "Truffles.... That's my name. Don't wanna eat with a nameless person, right?"

Ilmari chuckled, "You're welcome." Motioning forward he ushered her along the street with him. Though at the mention of her name the whimsicott nearly stumbled. "Truffles?" Blinking in the streetlight he suddenly got a good look at the girl's face. Wasn't this the girl that Tryce had asked him to help with?
Out of all things...
Shaking his head the teen flushed, "Anyways...let's go on." Tryce would maul him if he even mentioned that the umbreon had worried over this eevee. At her acceptance of food Ilmari just smirked, "Alright then. I hear they have good milkshakes as well. I don't know about you, but I have a bad tooth for sweets." He was really glad then that he got her away from those streets. Perhaps he could get her to stay somewhere warm for the night before letting her leave again. The shrine was nice, but getting there in the dark? He definitely would have to keep an eye out.
But for now...food was a good idea.
"Come on let's go~" With no more hesitation Ilmari led the way towards the restaurant that he had promised her.
