With tears down his face, Yoshi was surprised when Grayson stops what he was doing, and instead of bringing the belt across his behind, lowers his arm and instead reaches down, pulling Yoshi's pants back up, before replacing his belt back around his waist. Through teary vision, he turned to watch what the older man was doing, sniffling. He...believed him? Yoshi couldn't help but feel relieved at those words, and was more than glad that he wasn't in danger of getting hit with the belt anymore. Grudgingly he follows Grayson out of the Center, wondering what they were doing, tears still coming down his cheeks, though not quite as much as before. Every now and then a sniffle could be heard from him, and Torchic, who was being held in his arms, looked up at him with worried eyes.<br/><br/>They went in to an eatery, sitting down at a table. After they'd ordered for lunch, Grayson spoke up to Yoshi. His eyes were still wet and glistening with the tears before, his eyelashes covered in them, small droplets could be seen. When he heard what Grayson was saying, his eyes grow wide, not quite sure whether he could believe what was going on. He was about to cheer in happiness, but was held off when Grayson held up a finger, going on to tell him more. It sounded like a weird exchange, having Grayson taking care of his food and hygiene, and being punished for disobedience...but if that meant being taught...it was worth it. Once Grayson had finished, Yoshi nods repeatedly, a smile on his face now instead of a sad one with tears. "Yes! I do! I don't care what I gotta do to be your student, I just wanna learn how to be strong!" He stands up, placing his hands on the table and leaning forward slightly, a more determined look than ever on his face. "I promise I'll do what you say! So please! Be my teacher!!!" He grins at Grayson, a big wide smile that made him close his eyes slightly. Torchic makes a happy sound and jumps up and down on the seat next to Yoshi, fluttering it's little wings.
