ugh. she couldn't move another step. her stomach was so full that she would have to roll home. but wait? that smell... omg! they have funnel cakes! gigi needed one. how could she leave knowing there were funnel cakes to be pillaged? would she regret this later? probably. but right now she didn't care.
excitement bubbled in her eyes as she carried the powered, fried dough to a bench on the outskirts of the district. today had been a productive day. she snapped a picture of the funnel cake, as she had done with the other various food items she consumed that night, and posted it to the 'gram. people loved photos containing food. gigi never understood it. to her, it was like torture: all that wonderful food that she couldn't eat.
the sound of scrapped metal caused her to head to jerk. an armored bird - skarmory, right? - was digging through a nearby trash can in search for scraps. gigi pouted as she stared down at her funnel cake. she was going to have to do the right thing, didn't she? goddamn having a loud af conscience.
"hey there," she cooed to the metal bird. the skarmory froze, looking ready to flee at a moments notice. "slow down there, buddy. i'm not here to chase you off." the bird remained wary, body shifting into a defensive position.
a piece of funnel cake was tossed to the ground in between the two. arceus she was going to hell for committing such a foul sin. at least it was working. the bird was cautiously approaching the funnel cake. although it kept an eye on gigi, its beak quickly gobbled up the food.
"i have more." gigi offered. "but you'll have to come over here to get it." the skarmory was hesitant. long, silent seconds passed by before the bird took uneasy steps forward. gigi extended her hands forward, albeit didn't let go of the food. the skarmory was conflicted as it mulled over the situation. finally, at last, he swiftly snatched the food from her hand.
gigi winced as metal sliced her finger but she kept a friendly, camera ready smile on her face. "are you still hungry?" the look in the skarmory's eyes screamed yes. "if you come with me, i'll buy you some more. pick any booth you want." the skarmory looked skeptical so she added, "nothing has to be set in stone. if you don't wish to join then you can go on your merry way once you've had a proper meal."
reluctance and caution melted away into excited jubilee as the two wandered the street. although her wallet continued to cry, the skarmory had loosened its guard up and looked keen to join the team. but was she right? only one way to find out.
