[color=SpringGreen]”Hey, I haven't been a baby for like, a few years”[/color] Jr retorted to the question about what their deal was, while Rika cocked her head in thought, and then responded [color=Aqua]”I’ve only really been me for, um, two weeks? So I guess you could say that, but it would probably be rude?”[/color] the whole concept of babies not really having been relevant to either her pre or post personhood existences. 

Either way, as a consequence of just ordering what was already available, the troop got their dishes before Juri did, and so were already tucking in by the time Naida returned with her fresh catch. Rika naturally started sampling everything, and was joined in this by Dazzle, the sea lion pokemon having quite the appetite for fish unsurprisingly, while Jr dug into the heartily meaty megamouth shark sushi, the squid like Peeka took mostly to the Fried Onion Cuttlefish of all things and the in some ways rather eldritch Mimi spent her time dragged bits of the Deep Fish Tempura under her disguise to be devoured by the void within.

It all made for quite the lovely meal, which made the following reminder that they had actually had a mission to do over the week a rather bitter desert. 

Because the kids had entirely forgotten about it.

[color=SpringGreen]”Uhhhhh”[/color] Jr went, unable to think of an excuse to get out of this, leaving the floor to his sister who didn’t even consider such a thing to be required.

[color=Aqua]”We’ve been busy waiting for papa, then being sad on the ship about him not coming back, then training out on the water and robbing the mafia fishing boats as hero stuff. So we forgot that learning stuff was the plan. Good thing you remembered!”[/color] without any kind of filter about giving out that kind of personal information to someone who was functionally a complete stranger even if they were on the team.

[color=SpringGreen]”Siiiiiis, don’t tell her about that!”[/color] Jr whined with embarrassment, specifically about them mopping on the ship.
 
[color=Aqua]”What about us stealing from the Mafia? She’s just gonna stab them in the back first like papa says all bad guys should though, so it's fine”[/color] Rika replied, before turning to Juri and asking [color=Aqua]”right?”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]”Urrrgh”[/color] Jr groaned, before deciding that if they had nothing he could still criticize [color=SpringGreen]”I mean maaaaby the bird's one, but the other ones all basically stuck to one place. In Peach’s castle, in a mountain, on a beach, and inside a power generator or something. So if its moving then I dunno if that fits”[/color] 

[color=SpringGreen]”I mean it would be a smarter way of doing it than having them sitting in one spot waiting for us to find them? Maybe?”[/color] he then wondered, before admitting [color=SpringGreen]”ugh, ok fine, maybe Galeem mixed it up and had some move around and be hard to catch and some stick still in one really hard to reach spots”[/color] because that would be the smart move. 

That meant all he had was falling back on defending what they’d been up to by insisting [color=SpringGreen]”Besides, training and tinkering stuff’s productive. Gotta make up for papa not being here to carry the team by fighting even stronger and smarter than we have been, and with better gear too”[/color] defensively, before perking up and offering: [color=SpringGreen]”hey. If you let me see that ‘cool new gun’ you’ve got I bet I could make it even cooler, make the shots all zappy or burny”[/color] 

[color=Aqua]”You should, he’s good at that stuff. Just set me up with these massive stabby flying things recently, and those have been super neat now that I’ve kinda got the hang of them”[/color] Rika added in support, pointing to the compact stack of 6 two meter long rocket propelled swords she’d set down alongside her gauntlets and rigging, creating a pile of destructive ordinance that the ghostly Peeka was using as a chair.
