Kayo stares up at Ford with big, unexpressive eyes. She blinks, showing that she's listening, and looks back at the Slowpoke with a tiny smile on her face. She counts inside her head to five, and it finally closes its eyes and sways a little in response to the patting. Kayo's smile grows.

"Are you a teacher?" She asks, turning to see Shiinotic struggling to get up on the bench. She hesitates for a second, and then offers a hand out to help.

The Shiinotic reaches out with one wiggly root-like arm and takes her hand. With a little more leverage she manages to pull herself up onto the bench. Her expression doesn't change much -- she's pretty much always smiling -- but she gives Kayo a thankful pat on the cheek.

"Not in the strictest sense of the word. That is, I'm not employed by a school." It wouldn't be Ford if he wasn't excruciatingly pedantic. "I'm a researcher and more recently I've stepped into the role of museum curator, so you could call me a teacher if your definition is someone who likes to share knowledge and foster a love of learning in others."

[pretendingto]

Spoken like a guy who's a teacher. Kayo stares at him as he goes through his whole out-loud thought process. "So you teach at a museum." It isn't a question, it's a statement.

She startles a little at the pat to her face, that feels weird. Fukuro the Hoothoot pops out of his pokeball without notice because he also wants to make friends. Ford is getting gently tackled.

[meteorman]

Ford looks at her for a long moment and then his expression breaks into a grin.

"Yes, that's more or less -- oh!"

Given that he's kind of a brick wall, Fukuro isn't able to completely knock Ford over. What does happen is that Ford has to lean back and catch himself on one hand, which means he can no longer pet the Slowpoke, who predictably doesn't notice the petting hand is gone.

"Real perceptive kid you have," he says to the Hoothoot, like it can answer back.

[pretendingto]

"Fukuro! That isn't nice!" Kayo immediately scolds the pokemon for bonking without warning, and immediately he "hoooo"s sadly and looks all crestfallen. Kayo crosses her arms at him and frowns slightly.

Her stern look softens a bit as Ford seems unbothered. Well, he is a large dude, maybe Fukuro didn't hurt him...

The Hoothoot "whooooo"s approvingly, flapping his little wings.
