He shrugged at their comment though, shooting back, "You never know, dude! If your team's been through a lot together... Then there's no knowing where you guys can stop. I mean..." Hilbert paused for a second, stepping foot into the casino with them because fuck yeah. "...The only reason I got to where I was was because I was forced to... I'm no longer needed in what I set myself up for, so...I'm sure you could beat me if we fought!" The boy gave them a thumbs up, that cheeky grin still flowing.
Being forced to get strong, though... Thanks, Team Plasma. You certainly helped in defining the way his training took place...and left him the way he was. Thanks again.
>>13838325With that same grin he was showing off to Seth, he looked on back at Venus; the hand on the back of his neck eventually finding itself playing with his backbag's strap. So they were just here for any ordinary reason anyone would be around here. Business, sightseeing, training... The usual. Didn't stop him from being curious, though, even as his eyes' attention went from her to the surroundings of the casino.
"Huh, yeah, I thought that'd be a good idea too, but...business? What kind of business do you do, Aphro...ditus?" You are the worst, Hilbert.
