Am I free to go then? Or... you're not going to take me to the authorities or something, right?
I didn't do anything. Ever, I swear! [ he does not realise that the denial just makes him look like he DID do something far worse than throw a shell by accident. ]
It's harmless and stupid and he'll probably get some Chroma out of it since palm readers need to touch your hand, right? So whatever, he'll just hold his hand out.]
As long as this doesn't obligate me to join your cult or something like that, go ahead.
[No cults anywhere else, either, but he'll leave that ambiguous just for fun.
Gen doesn't waste any time in latching on to Tarrlok's hand while he's being agreeable. If he's familiar with palm reading at all, he'll know that the way Gen rubs his hand against his whole palm to maximize Chroma-producing contact isn't conventional.]
Let's see what the lines have to say.
[He lifts his hand and peers down like he's deep in thought.]
I see many plans here, but are they successful...
[He looks serious, and serious men tend to have plans. That's his inspiration, rather than any configuration of lines on his palm.]
I would think that we could handle some sort of theoretical accidental shell-throwing incident between us, so no. Hopefully that's all you would have done.
Oh, no, I'm being honest. I'm similarly unused to these sorts of things, and the fact that you managed to capture something with an interesting aesthetic shows potential, if nothing else.
Oh! Well then, I suppose we can consider it a deal! :)
And yes, it is. From my understanding, our process of consuming Pokémon is fairly similar to how it is done with animals in other worlds, though perhaps not to quite as large of a degree.
[We try not to think too hard about where the curry sausage comes from.]
