[ Ken is feeling pretty good. He's spent enough time in Union now to get a better feel for the culture. How it works. How to get people to leave you alone. How to prey on their weaknesses. He'd never doubted he'd master the place, but the feeling is gratifying, all the same.
So when he notices the woman who'd pestered him while he was hunting Pokémon earlier, he figures he may as well have some fun. He'd been in disguise out in the forest, after all - mask, Mage robes, and the strange way his hair sticks up when he's using his powers (a side effect not worth pondering). Plain, modest boy genius Ken Ichijouji has never met this woman before.
And therefore is free to speak with her pleasantly. ] There's a lot to pick from, isn't there? It must be confusing.
[ No guile in this smile. He is just a passing boy who wishes to help his elders! His poor, baffled elders. Lucky you. ]
