Leo's eyes turned to Pentral, widened at the revelation. "OH!" He pointed at the anthropomorphic fox and nodded in understanding. "Oh! Okay got it. Well in that case, best we find out what he can stomach then." With that, he turned to Makoto placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. "As soon as your ready; you know, those new clothes and all that, you can find me in the restaraunt, I'll be saving you guys a seat."
He lightly waved before he walked out of the alleyway ahead of them.

Makoto watched as Leo walked off. It was a strange creature, but it was nice. Makoto looked at the clothes that had been handed to him. When was the last time he had new clothes...? He couldn't remember.
He also revealed he didn't seem to have a clear understanding of indecency as he began to change right than and there. And the clothes were giving him trouble as they would a child not used to dressing themself.

Pentral saw this and opened his wings so people wouldn't see Makoto naked and went to help him wear his clothes. "There, that's better." he said happily as he finished dressing Makoto up. "Now let's go to the restraunt." he said cheerfully as he wore his jacket.

As the two walked inside the restaraunt, they saw good old Burnin' Leo at one of the tables talking to a waiter. "So you see sir, I'd like help in finding my old pal, think you can help me?"
"Well of course sir, would you mind to describe him for me?" The waiter said as he pulled out a notepad. [The waiter's a random generic character, so don't worry about a character sign up for him.]
Leo thought a moment. "Well he's about as tall as I am." The Waiter nodded at this, "He's pink." He noted this, "He can inhale with enough force of a typhoon, like this." He faked a somewhat loud inhale, "And he can puff up into a balloon and fly, like this." With another inhale, Burnin' Leo puffed himself up like a balloon, making his already round form seem rounder and bigger. After jumping up, flapping his arms a few seconds to hover, he landed on the ground and turned back to the waiter, whom was giving him a confused look. "He also, really, really, really, really, really REALLY likes food."
The waiter took a few notes before ripping off the note and putting it in his pocket. "Well... Okay, I'll keep my eyes open then."
Burnin' Leo nodded thankfully at the man before turning and seeing Pentral and Makoto standing not too far away. "Ah! You guys! Come on over and have a seat! I've already talked to the waiter about the food options."

Makoto was now wearing simple black shoes, black pants, and a navy shirt. None of them had any patterns, but the colors went well with his indigo hair. Or would have had it looked like it had been washed in the last decade...
Makoto was trying to make himself as small as he could. It was crowded in here. He didn't like crowded places. In fact, Pentral was having to guide him to get him to go anywhere.
He wanted to go into a corner. At a table would have been fine, just in a corner so his back could only face the wall. Sitting at the counter was about as far from that as he could get. His back facing the entire rest of the restaurant. He was hunched a bit, as if trying to make himself smaller.
He didn't seem talkative, that was for sure.

Pentral just sat next to Makoto and rubbed his back slightly. "Don't worry Makoto, try to relax a bit." He said happily while trying to comfort Makoto a bit.
(Lols I have absolutely no clue what was going on XD)

Burnin Leo took his seat once more. As the waiter came around once more, handing out menu's. "What'll you be having?"
Burnin' Leo momentarily looked over the menu before closing it. "I'll have the spicy chicken strips, hold the sauce and..." ... He quickly looked at the drinks... "What is... ... Dr. Pepper?"
The waiter stared at him strangely. "Well... It's a fountain drink." Burnin' Leo continued to stare at him confused. "It's a sugery drink with caffeine."
"Is it any good?" The helper asked.
The waiter considered this. "Well yes, actually."
Taking that as his cue, he smiled as he closed the menu once more, "Then I'll have the Dr. Pepper to drink, please?"

(OOC: Since the waiter is an NPC, I took a little control of him. Hope you don't mind.)
Makoto looked at the menus like they were some odd foreign object. He lifted up a corner and looked under it. There were pictures and symbols he'd heard described as writing on them. But he had no idea what they meant. He placed the menu down and looked at Leo as he ordered. Dr. Pepper? A drink?
If he had been a little kid, it would have been cuter than hell. But this was a seventeen year old boy. As such, he just came across as mentally damaged. He looked at Pentral, tryiing to come up with words. He felt the gaze of the waiter on him and let his shoulders sag. He stared at his lap, refusing to give eye contact to anyone at the table.
The waiter seemed rather awkward, too. He opened his mouth but closed it again. He didn't want to seem like an ass, after all.

Pentral just rubbed Makoto's back again to relax him while saying, "Two waters and two salads please." happily as he took both his and Makoto's menus and handed them to the waiter.

(Of course you guys can control the NPC, if you want, don't worry about it too much.)
Burnin' Leo handed his menu to the waiter himself, as the man took the last of the notes of the order, and, taking the menu's walked off.
As they sat there at the counter, Burnin' Leo turned to Makoto... It took a moment to realize what had happened back there. "You can't read?" He pat the boy on the back. "I'm... I'm so sorry..." He looked away, almost looking angry. "What kind of inconsiderate-?! What kind of people raised you as a child Makoto? I have half-mind to find them, and beat them down for what they've done to you... ... (Grumble.) Doesn't even teach their own kid to read..."
[Well of COURSE he jumps to conclusions like this, he doesn't know the full story. Not only that, but he DOES come from the near Idyllic Dream Land, so he really can't imagine the more horrible stuff some worlds are familiar with.]

Makoto had been looking at Pentral, but when Leo brought up the issue of his raising, he seemed distraught. He looked down at his lap again and it seemed that he wasn't going to answer when a very quiet and meek, even for Makoto, voice replied.
"I don't... know my parents..."
Even that small broken sentence appeared to be painful. Makoto closed his eyes and seemed to be trying to calm himself down. Whatever memories Leo had stirred up, they seemed painful.
"G-G-Global Alliance..." he muttered in a very audible voice. He found himself shaking his head rapidly as if trying to shake memories out of his head.

Pentral remember Makoto spoke of Global Alliance before but never talked about it. "Don't worry they aren't going to get you. I said that I won't let you get hurt again and I'm determined to keep my word." Pentral said comfortably as he rubbed Makoto's back.
(Woah whats Leo going to think of this XD)

Honestly? What was Leo SUPPOSED to think?
He didn't know what Global Alliance is, or why it had left such a horrible mark upon Makoto. Near as he could tell however, he could make out some parts of his story...
Makoto did have parents... Before he was taken away from them. And that thought outraged him. What kind of thing was this 'Global Alliance' that it could wrench away a child from his family and do 'ZERO KNOWS WHAT' [That's Leo's way of saying 'Devil knows what' since a monster named Zero is a true evil in Dreamland.] to him. He couldn't imagine it... He just couldn't...
What kind of twisted world had he landed on?
"I'm..." But back to reality, Burnin' Leo looked aghast at what he had heard; he didn't know all the details, but he knew none of them could be anything good. "I'm so sorry Makoto... Truely I am... What all you went through... With how you're reacting, I'll bet it was all horrible..."

Makoto had clammed up about the situation. He didn't even acknowledge he had heard Leo. Even if he had, he didn't know how close Leo was to what had happened. Minus some of the more painful details, but his assumptions were correct. Makoto could have known if he'd felt like invading Leo's mind, but he found mind reading to be terribly invasive. People had a right to their own thoughts...
He blinked as a bowl was set in front of him. He looked up and saw the waiter placing the order on the table. Something crashed behind the group and he spun around. The glass of Dr. Pepper fell off the table, and Makoto reacted without thinking. As his eyes fixed on the glass, it floated in mid-air. It hadn't tipped far enough to spill more than a few drops, but the glass now floated in mid-air.
Makoto realized he was being stared at and quickly apologized. He averted his gaze from the glass and it fell the rest of the way to the floor. The waiter stood there, mouth gaping. He had no idea what to make of that.
"S-s-sorry..." Makoto mumbled, trying once more to make himself smaller. Despite the island having all its visitors, Makoto's little stunt had attracted most of the restaurant. The mumbling and whispers was about the floating glass, and the waiter's dumbstruck stare at Makoto indicated who was responsible...

Pentral just shrugged a bit before waving it off as he ruffled Makoto's hair a bit. "Let's try some of this salad shall we?" Pentral said happily as he took a fork and took a bite out of the salad. "This is good, you should taste it for yourself." he said as he drank a bit of his water.
