[Ah, good, he caught him just in time. Phew. Who knows what would have happened if Aegiomon was only a few minutes late. He takes the kite and holds it proud and center, like showing off a trophy.]
You bet! These lightning bolts...you drew 'em, right?
[They're shaky and not very professional, but that means nothing to him.]
That's way cooler than just buying something. I can't believe... I mean, I can, it's just...no one's ever made anything for me before. Not until this holiday stuff. But you...a-and so many other people... I have so much stuff now, I don't know what to do with it all—
[It's a little overwhelming, actually. But okay, alright, getting a little off topic here. Aegiomon takes a deep breath and straightens out his thoughts before he ends up rambling Bigby's head off.]
[ He's not sure why he feels so sheepish over admitting as much, especially given how excited Aegiomon is regardless of how it actually turned out. Maybe it's the thought that he could do better next time. Maybe it's the thought that there could even be a next time at all. At least Bigby can relate on feeling overwhelmed by the amount of gifts now in his posession. ] You and me both, kid. [ Bigby finishes up his poffin with a smile and a quiet huff of amusement at the Skiddo's rambling. ]
But, that's right. Just need a little wind and some open space. Beach might be a good spot, if you don't mind the cold.
[ He very much will mind it, but thankfully his scarf is stashed not too far away from here. ]
[So it's confirmed, a true Bigby original. The Morpeko's comment about not receiving any presents either catches Aegiomon off guard, though. It made sense to him that he never received a lot of stuff, simply due to time. And...he's positive Inori would've made him all sorts of things if they weren't so busy. He wishes she did, he would've kept it forever...
But Bigby? Bigby is, like...old. He's pretty sure, anyway. He's had tons of time to receive gifts, and he...hasn't? The math simply isn't mathing, but instead of assuming Bigby is some friendless loser, Aegiomon is now determined to regularly draw for Bigby to make up for lost time. Gifts are special!! Just like this kite!!]
I don't mind the cold at all! I'm super fluffy, remember?
[Shedding his winter coat is going to be hell come spring—]
Right, right. [ He laughs a little, though mostly at himself for even worrying in the first place. They’ve talked about this before, yet he still felt the need to ask, just to make sure. Can’t let the kid catch a cold on his account, even if said kid is currently musing over Bigby’s friendless existence back home. ] Let me just grab my scarf, then we can get a move on.
[ One pit stop later, and they’re on their way from the Spire to the beach. The thought did occur to him to ask for a ride, just to keep him from slowing them down, but a leisurely walk doesn’t turn out to be so bad after all. It gives him a chance to ask about Aegiomon about his other presents and how he’s been liking the season so far. You know, normal things a kid should be experiencing. ]
Alright, this is as good a spot as any. [ Given the time of year, there’s not a lot of other Pokémon crowding up the place, which is all the better for them to run around. ] Wind’s not too great today, but like I said. Shouldn’t be a problem. [ He has a surprise tool that can help them later, after all. ]
Want me to talk you through it, or do you wanna follow my lead this first time?
