"You're planning on telling stories with your Pokemon? I don't know much about Pokemon. Do they enjoy that kind of thing?" He's not entirely sure what Cali would be getting out the experience either to be honest, but he knows better than to ask her directly. He busies himself looking through the lanterns for something he might have an interest in. It was interesting to look at all the different types.

"It was beautiful. All of Wishfield was filled with flowers and life. I mostly traveled alone, so there isn't a whole lot of interesting camping stories to share, unfortunately. However, I can't say the same about travelling in general. Between Esslings appearing on the road, and the occasional sudden downpour, things could always get exciting in a moment."

"I find storytelling as a great way to bound with my Pokemon, we get to hang out in together after building some blanket tents in the hotel room we stay in at night. I like to think they enjoy it a bit, it's pretty calm and relaxing. If you want, would you like to join me for storytelling?" Cali happily said as she picks out that lantern she pulled out earlier as it's a cute space themed one :3

As Giovanni explains the route he would take and camp out in, Cali becomes enthralled with just how magical the outdoors must have been back in his home world. Though, one word caught Cali's attention and she simply had to know, "What are Esslings? They sound super adorable."

"I see," Giovanni replied. While he was curious about what stories she would tell, he wasn't a very social person, so it takes him a moment to reply to the offer. "Sure. Perhaps that would help me bond with my Pokemon better too."

[Giovanni picks out a more functional lantern, but one with a lot fancy swirly flourishes.]

"Esselings are fabric brought to "life" by the Dark," He explained, "They'll attack anyone nearby, and often appear in groups, which makes them a threat to travelers."

"I think it'll be a lot of fun to do, are there any type of stories you like the most?" Cali asked, she was very much used to being with groups and building bonds with others as she checks out the lantern Giovanni picked out.

Cali's expression dropped a bit behind the mask upon hearing what an Esseling was and they had such a deceptively cute name too, "That's not fun at all, I'm sorry you had to deal with those back home. Esselings don't sound like very nice creatures."

"I tend to prefer stories about the past, however, don't feel bound by my preferences. Any type of story would be good, I'm sure."

Giovanni chuckles, "They aren't, no. But they were nothing that I couldn't handle, so it's alright."

"I'm glad they're easy to manage, but goodness, Esselings certainly have a misleadingly adorable name." Cali was still pretty surprised by all of it, but she's happy that Giovanni was able to manage them pretty well.

Cali thinks for a bit over stories as there is a great way to compromise for a story to tell Giovanni for his first storytelling time, "I think I may have a story that works, it was from this old fairytale collection from Italy called The 'Pentamerone.' I think that one story from there was called 'Pintosmalto'?"

"Pintosmalto? It sounds interesting. I can't wait to hear it," Giovanni replied calmly, even though he knows nothing about it. He looked around this floor of the store, "Was there anything else you were interested in getting here?"

"It really is, it's sort've like an off shoot of the Galatea myth but with almond paste instead of marble." Cali explained in her upbeat tone as she thinks a bit before answering, "Let's see if they have any outdoor meals? They're insanely helpful while camping outdoors during travel and don't have the energy to focus on cooking from scratch."

"I see," He didn't, but that was okay.

He looks around the floor, seeing if there were any signs for outdoor meals. "That sounds convenient. We didn't have anything like that back home. Hmmm...Do you see anything?"

Cali goes to looking carefully from the aisles before pointing it out, "Here we go, it's two aisles down from us. They truly are though, they come in handy if you're in an area that's under fire warnings too if you find the self heating meals."

Cali was just thrilled to share stories with others and Giovanni seems like a very nice person to hang out with.

Giovanni heads to where she's pointing. He seems surprised at the variety of meals available. He picks one up and turns it over in his hands. "There is quite the selection here. And I had been wondering what I would be able to eat on the road if I couldn't fish anything other than Pokemon."

"There really is, it's pretty fun though as you get to pick and mix what meal idea you may want out there. Though, as a heads up, some of the meat here can be a mystery like the Slowpoke tail instant curry, I think that one is supposed to be a hotdog rather than a Pokemon's tail." Cali goes to pick up a package of the said infamous Slowpoke tail cuisine to show...oh the mysteries of meat in Pokemon world.

Cali does pause a bit at the fishing part, "Woah, that's so weird. I don't blame you for the confusion, I would be too on the fishing part."

"That's an odd choice. I would think that naming a meal after a part of a Pokemon would turn more people away from that kind of meal," Giovanni said. He's picking up a few different kinds of meals to buy.

"I wonder if they have any paper here."

"Right? I would've thought the same, but folks seem to like it despite the weird name." Cali goes to pick a few more herself before pausing for a moment to think

"I think so, would you like to go look for paper next? Is there any specific kind you're thinking about?"
