Cynthia was actually impressed that Leon was able to head towards the cafe without getting lost! She feared that he may have gotten distracted by the colourful lights of other areas, or the chatters of passersby to take him to different areas. Although he did bump into a couple of others, he had made it! Less work for Cynthia as well since she didn't have to go running after him in heels, just to drag him to the correct location. Perhaps he was changing for the better? Or was it because the cafe was literally 10 feet away from where they were. If he seriously got lost within a 10 feet distance... Cynthia would have given up on him, like seriously, who gets lost in a 10 feet of distance? Unless he went the other way...

Cynthia selected a table, closer to the inside as she didn't want the pararazzi getting any ideas of what they could be together. For all she knew, they could easily twist up the scene of make it so that she was dating this idiot! A lovely and cute idiot but an idiot nevertheless. It would have caused way too many headaches for Cynthia, all the while as she's on vacation. Before anything could happen, Cynthia would look towards Leon, hoping he wouldn't be distracted by anything else.

"Well Leon, how about you tell me what's been happening around you? What have you been doing lately? All the updates if you may please."

He made it! ~~What a damn surprise.~~ Leon isn't that *Bad* At directions! His mind is usually filled with running thoughts that it's simply hard to *Focus.* Walking through the entrance, he almost stood there, standing proud with his hand on his hips, before he was ushered by Cynthia to go into the deepest part of the cafe, away from the windows. Too bad! Leon would've liked to simply stare outside and up into the clouds. Staying inside isn't fun at all. 

The waiter gave them a small, free example of this Pecha berry cobbler, and then their menu, before heading to the back to give the two time to look through and make their decision. In his opinion, Leon isn't much for sweets, it doesn't seem to fill him up as much. And all that sugar... His eyes skim the menu in his hands but he's not really reading the text, instead hearing Cynthia. If he mentioned about the shenanigans that he had been with Allister, would she diss him, be proud, or don't care? That's the thing with the Sinnoh champion. She's unpredictable.

"You're so nosy, you might as well tell me something about yourself first," He says with a single laugh. He proceeds to say, anyway. "Still undefeated (officially) as you know!" He exclaims and takes a bite from the cobbler, still leaving enough for the other to enjoy ~~definitely not holding back~~. "Aside from that, there's a lot of free time so I've been pulled into other things in the meantime." Back in Galar, it came to interviews and commercials. He's also been called to be a model or act in shows. It's stuff that Leon did because he's champion but something he personally wouldn't want to do.

The acting bit... Yeah. He's not so good at that but the producer's excuses are usually along the lines of "If you look handsome enough, no one would care if you're bad!" Which stung. Leon likes to always give it his best but knowing he's an exception just because he's 'champion' can get pretty annoying and seemingly entitled.

And photographers are a hit or miss, some creepy... "You know how much I don't like photoshoots, though. If they want pictures, then they should just ask my Pokémon team since they're the ones who are mainly doing most of the work in those battles." He leans back in his chair and sighed. Leon can't forget the weirdos when he was just made champion. New to the paparazzi stuff, he was almost put through some strange stuff if it wasn't for the chairman who saved him from those. 

"How about yourself?" He asks. "Got a boyfriend yet?" It's something you wouldn't expect Leon to ask but it has been a running gag for him to ask whenever they reunite since he knows how difficult the woman is to score one!

Even as Cynthia dragged themselves to the deepest parts of the Cafe, it wasn't anything boring. It was vibrant! There were many paintings on the walls of ancient Pokemon, along with tv screens showing battles of none other than Leon! There were some Cynthia ones too but she didn't really pay too much attention to them. She knew Leon would have his eyes glued to those screens if he saw them. Unlike her, Leon knows how to have fun whilst battling, and with style.

Cynthia gave a thanks to the waiter who gave them a small sample of the Pecha Berry Cobbler. Although sweet and savoury wasn't her type of food, it was free food! She could never say to free food. After allowing Leon to consume his half of the cobbler, she'd nom away on the other side. Cherishing the sweetness of the Pecha Berry and the savoury crust. Perhaps she could change her opinion on sweet and savoury after this as the cobbler was out of this world! Sweet but not too sweet that the sweetness would overpower the whole item. The crust was well prepared, possibly freshly made pastry. 

"I suppose I am but can't you let your ~~older sister~~ friend hear about what you've been doing so far? That's the whole point of us meeting isn't it~?" She'd playfully respond to his remarks. As she'd listen to him ramble on about whatever he had been doing since, championship, undefeated, acting, modelling, blah blah blah... Her eyes wouldn't be on his cute stupid mug but on the menu. There was quite a few savoury items along with the sweets. As her eyes scrolled through the menu, they'd reach the ice cream section. Before she could flip the menu over towards the ice cream section, she'd hear Leon finish, ending with a question and a silly remark towards her.

She gave a little laugh in response to his silly question. "A boyfriend? Well... Not exactly as of yet. I do have some close friends that have the possibility of reaching that position but none as of yet." She'd twirl her hair a little bit, looking amused. She was quite surprised when Leon asked that question... But that was a question even the paparazzi asked. If she was being honest, no one truly fit the role to be her boyfriend as of yet. Wallace was a powerful contender, spending time in the festival did bring them closer but there was still something missing from him. The essence of youth. 

"I've just been alone ever since we've met Leon. I had no time for a relationship until well... I guess I am in a spot of free time so perhaps I may achieve on here." As she finished, she began thinking of what to tell him, about what she had done over the past years since they last met in person. Well, nothing really as she's only focusing on research, holding onto her champion position and... Visiting other regions and their festivities as well! 

"Ah, you must know, travelling all around the other regions has been so much fun! I was able to learn so much about their culture and how they party differently! I know~ It's a little weird hearing partying from me but if you haven't noticed, I still wish to retain my youth!" She'd go on about partying in Unova, Kalos and other regions, dressing up differently from her normal full black attire.
Alicia
Leon averts his eyes and nervously chuckle. "Are you kind of saying it's my fault you haven't gotten into a relationship?" Except, he knew what she meant. Time is short for any champion. Leon could agree with that too. But there's also something else. He doesn't want the person—if he was ever going to worry about anything like dating—to be overwhelmed with paparazzi because of him. It could be stressful, and putting someone through that would be his fault. Of course interviewers these days are desperate for dirt. Leon wouldn't be surprised if a conspiracy was made about him! The world is wild like that. If he ever thought about having a significant other, it has to be someone who's used to it... A funny thought flashed through his mind. Cynthia. Since she goes through the same thing, she wouldn't be so deterred. 

It seemed uncanny though, and Leon moved on before it could get any weirder in his mind. Talking about the world, Cynthia has the luxury to travel it. Leon usually stayed in his own region since that's where he's mostly needed. This island getaway is the first of after a while where he got to leave Galar. The other one being Alola. "Party? Yeah, never thought you as a partygoer. Are you quite the party animal or are you as bland as when you're with your books?" He's making fun of her now, but Leon sure as heck was the bookworm when he was young. Although now, he barely reads. He rather battle! Just in time, his eyes lift to a tv screen, and a battle of Cynthia displays. "You look gorgeous still," He simply puts. "It's as if you never changed since you were a kid." Aside from that damn height! Then again, she was still taller than Leon even in those years back! 

That's when the waiter comes back, ready for their orders. Anyone could guess what Leon is going to order—half the menu! His expression is lighten up like a kid's who thinks he did something worth praising for.
William
"No, I'm just implying that the media has the power over humans with as powerful statuses as us." Cynthia would definitely want a significant other was confident, wild, young and intelligent but attaining all of those traits seemed almost impossible. Perhaps if she asked for a male clone of her, that would be her perfect match but that wasn't obtainable either. Should she give Leon a little chance? No, he probably already has someone with him, how could he not? He was a loveable dumbass (~~with a shiny butt~~). She wasn't used to many trainers either, and a relationship would need to grow, start off small until either party feels completely confident with each other. They'd need to spend a lot of time together... However, with how much Cynthia moved around, that was difficult. There just weren't many suitable suitors for her. 

Yes, contrary to everything Leon believed about her, Cynthia was a party animal! She loved partying, even heading to some night parties disguised as a complete stranger! She needed the freedom away from all the responsibilities and the reigns she held. Getting caught would be the end of her champion image but that was also the the thrill Cynthia enjoyed. By day she was a little miss perfect, but at night, she was a completely different person. "Maybe I should take you to a party one day Leon. I'm certain someone like you will enjoy the atmosphere and the music." As she'd say, her eyes would drag towards the TV screen as well. "Eh, they got my bad side... I wish I could just tell them to get my good side every time!" She'd give a little frustrated mutter which was also a joke. "Thank you for the compliment Leon. I don't think I have changed since I was a kid no... You haven't grown either." Yep, she teased him back with a remark.

As the waiter came, Cynthia would order a couple of things. Another Pecha Berry Cobbler and well... Half the other menu Leon didn't order. She'd save the other half to taste all the ice cream flavours later.
Alicia
It's not a surprise that Cynthia ordered the other half. Even better! She'll share, right? As for their drinks, it'll be quickly made. The waiter gave both the champions a quirk brow before heading back to the kitchen. "That's true, but I'm not going to worry about that stuff." Leon smiles widely. "Live in the moment now! Romances will come when it does." He always pushed it aside until it's right in front of his face. Right now is the prime age for enjoying his youth with whatever he likes! If only he knew...

As an added bonus for ordering quite the bundle of dishes ~~pretty much *All*~~, Cynthia and Leon receives a free cafe au lait for their patronage. "Parties..." When he thought of "Parties", he thought of raves for some reason. He actually never got chances to go to much. Maybe this would be a good opportunity for him then. "Sure..." He takes a sip of his free drink slowly, his eyes focusing anywhere besides Cynthia. The man knows how clumsy he can get. Rave parties screams something that could go wrong! "What are you talking about?" And just as he tries to focus on this supposed bad side of Cynthia on the tv screen, it transitioned over to a battle from Steven.

"You worry too much! Just have fun when it comes to battling. You'll only grow older if you dwell on things like 'appearance'. I wouldn't care if I was head-to-toe with mud as long as I have a champion time!" He does his signature Charizard pose while sitting down (so basically only his left hand is in the air). He's going to take the "Haven't grown" Comment as a compliment. "Anyway, you have plans after this?" He's curious what Cynthia was doing in the plaza in the first place. "I'll leave you to it after we're done here."
William
She wasn't going to order half of the entire menu at first, but after Leon ordered one half, she supposed ordering the other half to taste wouldn't be too bad. Also, she found it incredibly adorable when Leon was eating. An innocent expression, not a single care in the world when he was stuffing his face with food. "Of course, that's why I'm waiting until someone is to come to me~ It wouldn't be me very much if I was to chase someone now would it?" Cynthia was still in her 20s, right in the middle of her 20s at that. Her youth was still ever so present but it wasn't going to last forever. She was going to make the most of her 20s. 

Cynthia would sip her drink, listening to Leon speak as his innocence shone through it all. He had never been to a party, which was something expected with his dumb little innocent mind. Raves on the other hand, were something not even Cynthia had experienced before. She had read online articles and they were, very revealing. Although it looked really fun, she knew she couldn't indulge in such activities. With the amount of clothes they wear... It wouldn't be long until someone was to find out who she was underneath it all. "Heh, looks like the media saved me from you seeing my bad side."

She'd look back towards the TV, watching Steven and his Metagross fending off another challenger. "I suppose I do. The more I frown, the more wrinkles appear on my face." She'd give a smile towards Leon. "I'd still rather not have any mud on anywhere." Cynthia gave a chuckle as Leon did his signature pose, clapping as the audience would. He was such a baby in her eyes. "My plans after this? I wasn't planning on anything if I'm being honest. I was looking around since this is my first time around the plaza. If you'd like, would you like to have a little tour around with me? Or would you leave your ~~older sister~~ friend so early?"
Alicia
Leon thought about it. He really wanted to work out and train. He feels like he's been lazy, even in a vacation! And here he is, ordering amounts of things with sugar! He'll have to burn it off later... "Ah, well..." He looks around to make up an excuse. It's not that he doesn't want to hang out with Cynthia but he rather do something *Without* Her ~~what's the difference?~~. Still, he can't help but take this opportunity to tease her. "And *You* Tell me, I'm the one who gets lost." He almost slams his empty cup of cafe au lait down on the table as he declares. "Guess I just have to show you around! Did you know I already know this whole island?" Which is an exaggeration at his end, but he and Allister really went places! 

That's when their cakes and sweets arrived. It all came on a cart and put on their table delicately. The whiff of cream and fresh fruits, along with chocolate has Leon drooling a bit at the side of his mouth. Too bad Leon felt the common courtesy to wait until everything was laid out in front of them. There was still plenty of other sweets on the cart which the waiter told them that he'll leave so that the champions could grab them anytime. Once they left, it was CHOw time! Ignoring etiquette—because he's in front of Cynthia anyway—his elbows are on the table as he forks up about four different desserts into his mouth, chewing happily.

Messy eater as ever... He gives a thumbs up to Cynthia to show his approval.
