[Aone does his job marvellously, even Skitty realising its path is completely closed off like this. The little cat seems conflicted, unable to move between either side. That is, until Ryousuke pulls out a muffin from the basket he's carrying, holding it out in front of him.
Well, that settles it.
Skitty trots over towards where Ryo's crouching, grabbing the cake in its mouth. He promptly scoops the cat into his arms.]
Got him.
[He straightens, shifting the pokemon in his arms so he can give Aone a thumbs up.] Thanks to your help.
[Relief!! This little terror will stop harassing him now! But looking at the two of them together, Aone can't help but realize that the Skitty looks an awful lot like this guy...
Maybe this isn't such a good thing...]
Mm.
[He nods, indicating that he's happy to have helped out.]
[Even if Aone seems uncertain, his (unwelcome?) houseguest is making the decision for him.]
[He coaxes the cat to perch on his shoulder instead, freeing up his hands. It sure seems suspiciously well-behaved now. He pulls off the cloth covering the muffins, offering the open basket out to Aone.]
What's the matter? They're not poisoned, if you're worried.
[ The only reason why he's not placing one directly in his hands is- well, because cat fur.]
I'll even give you my name. [He's not some suspicious fairy offering up cakes with a price.] It's Ryousuke.
[Ryousuke observes the small pokemon with a mild expression. See, no matter how you look at it, his skitty can't be anything other a cat. It looks like a cat, acts like a cat, it's a cat. Taka-chan however...
Heeeh. [Ryousuke's only had to play volleyball in PE class, when he'd much rather be out on the baseball field, but he's familiar with the basics at least. A blocker, huh?] So defence must be your specialty.
Then we're of the same kind. [He smiles that mystifying smile of his. What an odd thing to say. Actually, based on appearances alone, they couldn't seem any more different?]
[Aone is a little confused by the statement at first, but at the mention of the shared title, his eyes widen and he looks... about as excited as a big scary guy can look.]
Iron Wall!!
[He's leaning down a little, staring hard at Ryousuke. You are also Iron Wall??? Yes? YES??]
[This is??? Really nice, actually! Another Iron Wall! Aone straightens up and looks down at Ryousuke, looking for all the world like he's trying to intimidate the smaller boy.]
Right.
[It's mostly... the fact that he feels competitive about this now! And that's a really nice feeling! He'd like to see which Iron Wall is better. Or maybe combine to make the ultimate Iron Wall! That would be something...]
ok but libero ryosan... same voice as noya... wears number 4 :OO
I can't say I know too much about volleyball, but second base and a blocker couldn't be any more different, no?
[Far too focused on the sport he can do, volleyball just doesn't pique his interest the same way. But there's enthusiasm, competitive spirit. Those things he knows all too well.]

no subject
What was your name again?
[He never got his name in the first place, but. it's a way of prompting it.]
Did you want some? [He nods to the basket of baked goods hanging from elbow.] The note said to share, and you did find my cat after all.
no subject
[He doesn't hesitate to give out his name. But he frowns a little at the offer of the treats in the basket.]
Um...
[Aone looks uncertain. He wants to accept, but he doesn't want to seem rude in doing so. But it's pretty hard for him to not seem rude. Hhhh.]

no subject
But ... oddly enough, Aone finds himself feeling okay about accepting a muffin?]
Ryousuke.
[He nods, repeating the name to make sure it cements in his mind before reaching out to take a muffin.]
Thanks.
no subject
Aone, huh... [ He's not much of a talker, but it's a nice change of pace from some of the loud mouths on his team.]
Did you get one too?
[He reaches up to scratch Skitty perching on his shoulder. He means a pokemon, of course.]
no subject
Aone nods and then promptly goes to grab the Aron that had been wandering around near a wall, trying to figure out why things had gotten so loud...!!]
Taka-chan.
[He holds the small thing out to show it off. Look how cute, Ryousuke!!]
no subject
His smile widens.]
What's it meant to be?
[a pasta colander? not cute at all!]
no subject
Though...
Aone turns Taka-chan around and stares at him, hard. What exactly IS he supposed to be? He's a pokemon, sure, but...]
Armadillo...?
[That is so not right, Aone, what the heck.]
no subject
Wrong. Definitely wrong. [He chuckles a little, reaching out to pat the pokemon himself.]
It's like it's made of iron, amazing.
no subject
But at the word iron, Aone perks up again. And points at himself.]
Iron Wall!
[Then he looks at the Aron with a newfound delight. Taka-chan really is just like him, isn't he??]
no subject
How so? [Ryousuke's a mixture of curious and expectant. He has a hunch, if it's anything like his own given title.]
no subject
Mm. Blocker.
[He holds his hands up, looming over Ryousuke in the process, pretending like he's blocking a spike.]
Volleyball.
[That should be a good enough explanation!]
no subject
Then we're of the same kind. [He smiles that mystifying smile of his. What an odd thing to say. Actually, based on appearances alone, they couldn't seem any more different?]
We even share the same title.
no subject
Iron Wall!!
[He's leaning down a little, staring hard at Ryousuke. You are also Iron Wall??? Yes? YES??]
no subject
[He socks a fist into his open palm, missing his glove already.]
Baseball.
[It's a mirror of Aone earlier.]
There's another guy here- Kuramochi. We're the cornerstone defence. [Seidou's own Iron Wall.]
no subject
Right.
[It's mostly... the fact that he feels competitive about this now! And that's a really nice feeling! He'd like to see which Iron Wall is better. Or maybe combine to make the ultimate Iron Wall! That would be something...]

[Far too focused on the sport he can do, volleyball just doesn't pique his interest the same way. But there's enthusiasm, competitive spirit. Those things he knows all too well.]
screeches softly!! so perfect!!!!!
He shakes his head.]
Defense is defense.
[That's the important part! No matter how different, it's the same idea!]
no subject
In that case, I'm sure you won't mind swapping places one day.
[This is only hypothetical. More of him poking fun, entertaining an idea than actually suggesting to go through with it.]
no subject
Aone nods!]
Okay!
[He ... will apparently swap places with Ryousuke for a day without a fight, okay.]
