((@Fused: *Was thinking that* XD
And he's not an outlaw now, but most haven't forgotten what he's done lol))
With the rise of exploration teams showing up along with the Guild Members, Chikao decided that picking a job now was too risky. I'll just go check Spinda's Cafe again, he decided, quickly but drawing as less attention to himself as possible making his way to the stairs. It was then he fell over his feet, a mass slamming from behind him knocking his feet from under him and face-planting to the floor.
"Nnn..." turning over raising a paw to his head, Chikao began rubbing it when he opened his eyes to see who had bumped into him... and froze. There was no mistaking the kitsune before him, he even recognized her voice and for a quick second thought she knew who he was. But no, that was not the case, because she just asked him a question in a rather polite tone. But... she is Metis, he told himself, ears pinned back and the look of alarm still plastered on his visage. Does she not know who I am? Or does she not remember it was me who was involved with the "accident"?
Quickly realizing the possibility and the fact that he had remained silent for awhile, Chikao quickly regained his composure and gave the Vulpix an apologetic smile. "Um, not quite," he answered as he picked himself up and dusted his fur off. "I've been around though don't visit the Guild very often. I was just on my way out in fact to see if I could get my paws on a decent job elsewhere." Realizing how that may have sounded, he quickly raised his paws and waved them back and forth rapidly. "Not that any of these are poor or horrible or anything, but I didn't want to take any from the trainees or leave better exploration teams empty handed of a good job."
It was about then he realized the strange pair, a Riolu and a Electrike, were behind the Vulpix, the Riolu waving a greeting at him. Though he masked his recognition with interest, and he gave a sly smile in their direction. This could be an excellent way to get to know the two more, he still held his suspicious toward them though in general he probably didn't have the right to. Hearing the Riolu complain about the job given to him, a mischievous gleam past the Meowth's eyes and with sly movements was by the Riolu's side and swiped the job offer from him.
"Hm," his eyes scanned the text on the page and he looked over at the duo with a smirk. "Sounds like the perfect job for you both," he said. "It's no good if you're cocky, you're trainees after all, aren't you? Think like that and they'll have to end up sending an Exploration Team to save your tails. Besides, it's required for newcomers." Chikao handed the form back, and more out of habit then anything offered, "I can come along if you like, it should be fun. Unless it violates any sort of rules you have then I'll stay behind. Oh, I guess I should introduce myself first, I'm-" it was then he remembered about Metis, clearing his throat for distraction then continuing, "Tensu, nice to meet you all."
