Dusting off his hands as he made sure the boat itself was secure, Shaun caught the sound of someone addressing him, smirking as he looked down the length of the dock. "Oh hey! Didn't see you guys!" He laughed a little at the mention of the heathen, poliwhirl waddling up to the edge of the boat to get a good look at what was going on at the dock, Wartortle still standing on it's head from where he had to reach the control...not for long though as the moment the poliwhirl spotted an electric type it ran below deck, leaving the wartortle to fall on it's face.
"Snrrk. Sorry. Thats the poliwag you met the other day, still not the most brave of souls...can see what ya meant though. Seems like one hell of a fishy." Stepping forwards Shaun was a tad caution due to the electric nature of the pokemon and it's fangs, but thought to offer his hand out to see how it reacted. It seemed friendly enough.

Mr. Fish was excited! What an interesting human and what interesting prey— Pokemon! Seeing Shaun’s hand extended to them, however, the Eelektross was quick to roll sideways and rub themselves up against it. Ahhh, yes good pets. Swaying a bit, they hissed softly.
Orion had to fight the urge to snicker when the Poliwhirl so readily dodged his massive electric sea snake. Sure, it could be written off as a timid Pokemon, but it was a timid Pokemon for the right given Mr. Fish’s typing and the nature of the Eelektross’s species in general. Still, he’d reminded Fishy to be on their best behavior before coming so… they were mostly going to be fine probably. “They are,” he answered Shaun after another second. “Quite a fierce fish, but a fish none the less.” He was… grinning entirely too much at that.

Keeping their touch careful against the electric type, Shaun took in the feel of their scales/skin, not quite the same as a water type fish but the texture was fairly recognizable for the most part. The eelektross certainly seemed like a pleasant little chap, rubbing against his hand like that. It almost put Shaun on edge a little as Orion mentioned they were fierce, shooting the trainer a quizical look before shrugging it off. "If you say so. Seems closer to Derp than Demon to me."
Realizing they were going somewhere with the arrival of the green haired man, Ruck flew down from the clouds, having been acting as a lookout while they were sailing, landing carefully atop Shaun's knitted cap and bringing a light chuckle out of them. "Looks like he's ready to go. You ready to hit the bar?" Ruck gave out a light sqwuak as they spread out their wings. "Oi, wasn't talking to you noisy."

Derp than Demon? Oh fuck, oh shit, oh Arceus Orion was laughing. Really it came off in a vague shaky snicker and twisted up his face more than anything, but damn if that wasn’t funny. There were so many things he could say about how Mr. Fish attacked and ate things and took a bite out of Niso Konto one time, but ...nah he'd let it go for now. No need to insist that one's precious pet was a demon. “I actually have a Ditto I named Derperz cause it kept taking Mr. Fish’s form and messing up some details on purpose.” Mr. Fish, meanwhile, smiled a little too wide at being called a derp. A low, bemused, hiss resounded from them softly in turn.
As the Wingull came down, however, Orion gave a small wave to it and then gave Shaun a grinning nod. “Lead the way?” he asked with a semi-playful grin before following after. Setting his hands behind his head, Orion allowed his gaze to flicker forward and draw in the lines of the various buildings as they passed them. Mr. Fish, meanwhile, trailed behind swimming about in a more transient way, occasionally finding something interesting to catch their attention and heading off that way only to return again moments later.
“Getting ready for the holiday season?” Orion asked just to keep the conversation fluid.

Smirking at the laugh he managed to earn, Shaun started them down the path towards the bar as they started to talk, Ruck settling in atop his head and seeming to hold a fairly strong sense of balance as they walked despite a light bit of a kick to Shaun's seemingly natural style of walk. "A ditto eh? Been lookin' for one of those..." For reasons he didn't really care to mention. At least not to a stranger who he could very easily creep the fuck out of. "You catch it wild or buy it off someone? I heard they're very hard to run into, what with the whole transforming into other pokemon deal."
Ruck let out a light sqwuak as they swerved carefully to avoid a dock worker before heading up into the main are of this specific platform, Shaun cracking his neck to either side, the streets a little busy given people were just clocking off their day's work. "Er...can't say there's really much for me to do for christmas...don't wanna get ya down but kinda hard to make plans when ya ain't got anyone to plan with...that make sense?" He felt it did, it stopped him getting into any shitty topics too. "Might put some decks on my boat, drop off some presents, might see my little sister boxing day...you? You just moved right? Family in the area?"

Been lookin’ for one of those— Oh? Orion’s lips quirked up a bit as he glanced sideways briefly. What for? He wouldn’t ask that right then, however. Instead, he’d answer. “I caught it wild in the Safari Zone, surprisingly not too difficult an encounter— though I might have just gotten lucky~” Considering all the luck of sorts he’d had when wandering the zone, he had to wonder if Arceus was truly on his side. Yeah right, hahahahhahaha.
The response to his question, however, had Orion’s lips pressing together a little harder than necessary. It makes sense… In a sort of stabbing way, heh. Before Jazz had become his charge, he couldn’t say he really had anyone who would want to spend Christmas with him and before then hahahahah what the hell was Christmas anyways? Yellow eyes flickered forward, and Orion side stepped a couple of crates. “That’s understandable,” he answered calmly enough. Might see my little sister on boxing day— Ah so … Shaun did have family? Heh, maybe estranged..
As the question was turned on him, he chuckled a little softly. “Sort of, I live with my boyfriend and my kid cousin. We’ll be having his family over for a bit and then might be going out to see the rest of mine.” He tried very hard not to be too giddy but there it was all the same. “It’ll be our first Christmas as a couple~” Ok, ok stop Orion. Stop being a dork. OH FUCKING DON’T TRIP— He just barely managed to step over another unexpected crate left out and laying on its side.

Shaun's interest certainly piqued as Orion shared his christmas plans. So he'd moved here with his boyfriend and...kid cousin? It brought a brief sense of surprise but Shaun couldn't find the info all that hard to process. A lot of people supported close family with a place to live these days, and Orion gave off a fairly chipper first impression, seemed the type to support family rather than have the obligation forced upon them. As he went on to say it was his first christmas with the partner however...~
Shaun suddenly leaned across, hooking an arm across the back of Orion's neck in a tight side hook, grinning nice and wide as he maybe got a little too friendly with the practical stranger. "Aw look at you! All blushy and nearly trippin' over your own two feet!~" He hadn't noticed the crate as the reason he seemed to stumble in his steps. "Must be a special guy to deserve this kind of reaction!~" He let out a hearty chuckle as he pushed Orion back away with a hefty ruffle of his hair. "Best be sure you make it a good christmas for 'em if he makes ya smile that much!~"

PFFFFKLASDKASDJKASLD.
Orion was not ready for the sudden closeness— nor was he ready for the embarrassing commentary that came after. A weird squeaky laugh escaped from him, but words thereafter failed him. How? Why? What possessed him to be this embarrassed when he was the one bragging just a few seconds ago? This was Nik’s fault, Orion swore.
The ruffle of his hair and push had Orion snorting softly and righting himself again. Adjusting his glasses, he forced a small chuckle. “Oh trust me, I plan to,” came off a lot weaker than intended. “I have the best present picked out.” Even as Orion spoke, his features struggled to cool, and the tips of his ears would take much, much longer to come back down again. “Among other things, of course~”
It was only after this that Orion realized Mr. Fish was laughing. That hissy, breathy laugh would earn a sharp pair of eyes before Orion stepped sideways and knocked into the Eelektross. The latter fumbled a little but regained form pretty fast only to knock back into him again lightly. An ‘uhmph’ sound escaped from Orion thereafter. “And of course the Pokemon get something if they’re good,” Orion insisted. Mr. Fish only hissed after and shrugged. They knew they’d be getting a present no matter what so whatever.

Snickering loudly at the reaction he'd managed to get out of Orion, Shaun was definitely glad he'd felt like the guy was worth his time. Maybe they'd be good friends after tonight, maybe not, but he was certainly someone Shaun wouldn't mind hanging with again already. He seemed to even be trying to play it cool, but Shaun only laughed a little more, leaving the main section of the docks they'd have to stop for a moment as the busy december streets had cars moving in every direction, waiting for the green man to say go as Orion tried to earn back some dignity after the playful ruffling.
"Oooooh other things. Uh huh. yup." Despite the 'understanding' of his words, his smirk only grew, and just as the lights started to turn, he gave a very clear, if somewhat exagerated, grinding motion of his hips., "I'm sure he'll get some real a-pre-ci-a-tion!~" He couldn't resist a light thrust to punctuate the final syllable, but easily fell into laughing his ass off again as they started to cross the road, his hands, which had been making some rather lewd motions with his grinding tease, resting in his pockets for warmth, peeking back towards Orion just as the fish got a nudge. He might have just lagged back a step to offer the fishy a high five behind Orion's back.
"Ah I'm sure a lovin' lad like you'd never leave poor Mr.Fish here without a present would ya? I mean, no offense, but if I'm judgin' a book by it's cover, I'd say you're more naughty list than nice list yourself. Not that I'm one to judge, of course.~"

Orion’s lips quirked at the reiteration of other things. A small half-laugh escaped from him at Shaun’s motions right after. “Yes that too~” he answered a bit lighter. That was… somehow less embarrassing, and even as Shaun laughed harder, Orion simply smiled toothily for a few seconds.
Mr. Fish was getting elbowed again for their laughter that had grown quieter now but had still yet to end. Looking back towards Shaun as he spoke, Orion smirked a little softly. “Awe, I’m not naughty,” he insisted a bit too playfully snickering softly. “Maybe a little questionable now and again, but Santa can forgive that~”
Fishy hiss-laughed and swam over to Shaun’s side, pretending to whisper hisses in his ear before looking pointedly at Orion. Orion’s brow quirked, but he knew better than to believe Mr. Fish would even use Pokespeak for their supposed complaints against him so. “Now now Fishy don’t go telling my secrets~” Orion snorted. The Eelektross hiss-laughed back and threw out their arms dramatically before twirling around in the air.

"Oh I dunnoooooo..." Shaun cupped his chin, keeping the tease up with a wide smirk, genuinely enjoying the fact Orion was so open to a few light jabs. "I don't know any songs about Santa having three lists...Good,Naughty, and Questionable...I think you might be pushing your luck there.~" Rolling his eyes, he caught the view of the pub just down the road, with the early darkness of winter settling in, a neon sign flashing the letters "W-E G-O-T B-E-E-R" In order before flashing the whole sentence a few times was clear enough to see at a distance.
With Mr.Fish swimming over, Shaun clearly couldn't understand any of the hissing, but Ruck, who had rapidly been flapping his wings and sqwuaking at the electric pokemon got too close for comfort, rapidly calmed down as he grew confused...as this pokemon talking in hisses? What? Why was he whispering hisses in his Shaun's ear? Weird bugger.
At Orion's prompt however, it just gave Shaun even more fuel, giving a dramatic gasp as Mr.Fish pulled away, spinning on his heels to walk backwards and look Orion in the eye, hand covering his mouth as if he'd heard some of the gravest secrets ever told. "You use conditioner before shampoo...and ladies underwear? Gaaaasp." Letting out another snicker, her turned back around to keep walking, idly muttering with his cheeky smirk. "Then again, lad in ladies underwear, 'ardly one to talk me!~"

Orion snickered. Of all things Shaun could have come up with those were by far the tamest. “What can I say? It makes my hair so much softer and makes me feel pretty,” he jived back entirely too sing-songy right then. His interest would peak, however, as he caught that mutter. Oh huh— did Shaun considering themself a guy? (Ah huh that would explain the vibe he’d been getting that conflicted with what he was seeing yeh? Or was he just trying to make himself feel better for not realizing sooner? Whatever, brain, whatever you want.)
“Ah— guess I never asked but, pronouns?” he mused a bit after the fact. Man he really should have caught on sooner considering Alex and Nik but ??? Was he being biased for never having seen a dude with massive tits before? Could he get off this subject before Dad dropped in from out of nowhere to give him an earful about the wide, colorful ranges of human gender and sexuality? Not that he needed a lesson in the latter, obviously. Alright brain, alright.

Shaun's head dipped back as Orion asked about pronouns. For a second it caught him off guard, but only because he was used to that being covered on a first meeting. Really? Had he not used the wrong pronoun with him yet? Huh. "Oh er, male preferred mate, but I'm good with Neutral. Female can technically fly if you don't mind getting a flick everytime you use them." There was a proud sqwuak from atop his head, and Shaun added with a smirk. "Or a peck!~"
The bar not far away now, Shaun turned on his heels, talking to Orion more directly as he walked backwards. "Don't worry though, I know I don't exactly 'present'~ How about you? May as well do you the favor of making sure I ain't assumin either.~"

Oh, huh so he was right, kind of. Good to know? Orion’s lips quirked a bit, and he gave a small nod. “I’ll keep that in mind then,” was the simplest answer. Yellow eyes briefly raised to the Wingull, and Orion winked briefly. Slowing his pace just a little so he could keep an eye out for Shaun as he walked, Orion hummed a bit softly as the question was returned to him. “Pretty sure I’m a guy,” he answered resting his hands behind his head. “Though I guess if I ever tried one of those Chroma cookies, I could know for sure but.”
Orion shrugged and offered a grin. “Mr. Fish’s actually gender neutral… I named ‘em too many years ago now to fix that now though~” Mr. Fish seemed to like their name as it was, and there was already attached affection so…heh. Whatever, right? Ah fucking— he’d said boyfriend instead of girlfriend or lover or hhhhhhh. Damn it brain and habit. “My babe is actually working through some pronoun rearrangement…” he explained, briefly allowing his gaze to raise and catch the sign before he spoke again. “Kinda have a boyfriend-girlfriend-the-bae at the moment.” He grinned a bit and shrugged his shoulders. “Love ‘em anyhow and way but old habits die hard ya know?”

Seemed about right, not as many people tended to lack the presentation of their gender like he did, even if Orion wasn't the same gender as their sex, he clearly presented as a male, and as lanky as he seemed to her it was easy enough to see a guy more than any hints of a girl...though the long hair...nah. People just wore it like that more commonly these days. Twirling back on his heels, he gave a light "noted~" as he walked along, pushing open the gate to the pub's front garden area, waving to a buddy of his as they passed one of the wooden tables.
"Ah I heard about those cookies a while back...My mom had a weird talk with me about them and...well suffice to say they're not for me." He gave a light shrug as he pushed into the bar, the place seeming to mainly consist of brown colors and wooden surfaces, seeming to hold a bit more of a british vibe, the kind of place filled with people just off a hard days work rather than anyone looking to party. Quiet and chill with a few roast meals being served at the tables. "I mean, I've been tempted? But it just ain't my thing. As fun as I'm sure they are, just cause I'm a guy don't mean I NEED a dick." He snickered a little, cupping his chest fairly blatantly. "Plus, these are pretty fun too, and there's two of 'em!~"
Clearly just joking about the issue, Shaun's head perked up as he heard a wolf whistle, recognizing who was doing it and holding up a middle finger, though a big enough grin to show Orion they knew them. "AH Piss off!" There was a little bit of laugher from both sides before shaun returned his attention to Orion, taking a seat at the bar as Ruck flew off to perch itself on a small light fixture against the wall, snuggling inbetween it and the smooth wooden pillar it was attatched to.
"Wait so...your boyfriend took a cookie and now are sort of a gender neutral girflriend? Not er...trying to offend, just making sure I have that right?"
