I don't think I was intending for this. Their presence was beginning to grow more suggestive. A simple pat on the back somehow brought them shoulder-to-shoulder as they continued along their way. "I never really liked it. That might just be the trainer in me, though. Most people say they enjoy it though." He looked for a bread shop first, and then tugged Usa along the way. This is getting out of hand, he thought quietly as he pulled himself free of their embrace.

"I'm from some really far away region, you've... probably never heard of it." Dmitri shrugged off the exact details and inspected the pumpernickel; Broski loves the stuff. I wonder if they sell truffles here...? He ended up parting with loaves of pumpernickel and a carton of bagels. Next he was off to find some meat. Maybe I should get Broski something there, too. He smiled and looked over at Usa.

"Is it weird to feed them human food here? I've never bothered with anything else." Why does it feel like I'm in an alien place? Living alongside pokemon felt like there was some sort of expectancy of the trainers, and Dmitri didn't like feeling obliged to follow someone else's standards. Who is to say what is the right way to train your pokemon, after all? He couldn't help but feel his methods were already being scrutinized by the trainer before him and everyone else who chanced upon him.

Why should I conform to their standards when I can set my own?

WITH ALL MY STRENGTH, I WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!

That was awkward... Usa thought as he breathed a sigh of relief. The end of their little awkward embrace meant he could actually relax a bit instead of trying to. He was also partially relieved by the confirmation that eating the tails of innocent Pokemon wasn't really the other trainer's thing. Still, it being a thing somewhere else left a bad feeling in his stomach and a bad taste in his mouth. What the hell kinda place is this guy from? He frowned his eyebrows at the thought of how barbaric this place must be. Nonetheless, Usa seemed to be on a mission to be friendly. Call it what you will, but it seemed his earlier attempt to trick his mind into perceiving the other trainer as his younger brother was successful. Now, regardless of what the trainer said, he would rationalize it or pass it off as a lack of knowledge. Usa smiled at the possibility of educating someone about the proper ways of doing things. For a moment, he seemed off in his own world - imagining himself passing off some valuable knowledge to the other trainer, much like he would often try to do to his younger brother.

It wasn't long, however, until he brought back from his little makeshift internal world. "No, I don't think it's weird" he declared. He cleared his throat and then continued: "But, I think Poke Food is specifically created to give your Pokemon the nutrients it needs". He paused for a second and then awkwardly proclaimed with a glimmering smile: "As long as you're not feeding your Pokemon Pokemon Tails, you should be good". He was trying to be funny. That wasn't very funny...and now I feel queasy again from thinking about people eating Pokemon.

He was never good at that sort of stuff. Making people laugh was always his brother's thing. He was the serious guy. The guy that pointed out the facts and inaccuracies in the humour. Admittedly, without the dynamic between himself and his brother that he had become accustomed to, he didn't really know how to interact with others. Perhaps that was the downside of being a twin. His mood suddenly changed. He was starting to miss his brother a bit. No...not good. I have to learn how to be on my own. We can't run around together like kids forever. I have to have my friends and life, and he has to have his... He tried the best way he knew how, to perk himself up (which was unusual because he was never perky). "I think I should get something for Leonidas as well...but, I'm thinking something more along the lines of a collar or pin". His eyes shifted across the street to a shop that seemed to sell ornaments. He quickly lifted his hand to point in the direction of the store. "Maybe we go over there when you're done here?"
