Doug snorted at Hideo's words, reaching over to ruffle his hair.

"Awright, awright. No glue." He said, before smirking. "For now."

Two large mugs of rootbeer were planted solidly before them as this exchange occurred, drawing Doug's attention to their meal. His smirk turned to a wide grin as he noticed the gold-like drink, licking his lips at the foam that crowned the large, crystal mug.

"Woo, look at that beaut!" He said as he swiped the beermug and brought it to his lips, kissing the thing.

He wasn't an alcoholic, shut up, Rootbeer didn't even have alcohol!

But he was a performer!

"Put it up Hideo, let's toast!" He said cheerily, holding out his root beer to the youth with a wide grin.

A few moments later, they were talking about Delibirds of all things.

And the Dreaded Orangutan Incident of November. Doug shuddered at the memory, scratching his head.

"Ugh, you just reminded me. I need to find some Pokemon Anger Management Classes." He said as he leaned his chin on the counter, placing his mug atop it. Well, all that aside... "But yeah. It was a Delibird. You'll find'em all over the place 'round Christmas time!"

He pushed off the counter and leaned far back, beginning to take large gulps of his beer before placing it onto the counter soundly, sighing contentedly.

"Nah, man! Delibird's are hard at work all Christmas season! Sometimes you can fin'em all the way back at November handing out gifts." He said, chuckling. "Think it's cause they've learned to relate Christmas decorations to Christmas time- people keep jumpin' the gun with these things."

"I've met 'em quite a few times. One of 'em crashed one o' my speed dates!" He said, "Really spiced things up with a free meal for two."
