Yue had followed the scent to a stand selling cinnamon buns and was staring at food the while drooling.

Leon followed Rex's barking as he found Yue looking over the cinnamon buns, realizing that they likely wouldn't be able to get her moving unless she had one, as he looked at the person selling them "How much for a cinnamon roll?" he asked curiously, hoping Alex and Brooke would join them before he had to pay.

"Cinnamon buns are half a crown each." The vendor replies with a smile.

Brooke looks surprised at Alex's apology, then concerned. "Aw, hell. I didn't mean anything by that, Alex, I was just makin' a bit of fun. Reckon I oughta be the one saying sorry, if anyone is. You can talk as much as you need to, I don't mind." There was something oddly soothing about his anxiety; she wasn't sure what that said about her. Maybe it was just easier to forget about her own uncertainties when she was looking at someone else's.
"Just don't be too surprised if Yue tunes you out," she added, a note of humor re-entering her voice. "I wasn't kiddin' about that part."

Leon looked back over at Alex and Brooke looking for their assistance but when he saw they were still a bit aways talking he realized he was on his own. Leon looked at his satchel before pulling out a 5 crown coin setting it on the stand "I'll have as many as this will get me" he said hoping the coin was at least a crown

Alex sighed with relief. In what seems like less than 20 minutes, he's met three new people, gotten closer to them than he has with most people besides injured patients, and already half spilled his guts and sent most of them on one of his inner roller coasters. He was off to a wonderful start. The good thing was that, he hadn't scared any of them off yet, been looked to as a support figure, made a couple of good friends, and even got his first job since helping his folks. He chuckled to himself at the last thought. "Thanks Brooke, at least I have someone here that won't instantly tune me out when I ramble. We'd better catch up to those two before they buy the entire cart, or she hires that vendor as her personal baker." Alex said with much relief in his voice.
He wandered over to the cart and saw that Leon had already placed a 5 crown coin as payment. 'Too late' he thought. Alex felt bad because he had just said he'd be there to help, and then literally misses his first opportunity. "Oh wow Leon, you guys must be hungry! I hope that doesn't give you an upset stomach later." He says cheerfully. "Are you sure you guys can even eat ten of those?" he asks questioningly.

Leon looked over to Alex a grateful look in his eyes, as he pulled out 3 smaller 1 crown coins setting them down, picking up the 5 crown coin "You're right, I was still a bit tired I was trying to buy one for all of us with an extra for Yue, and I misheard this kind vendor I thought it was a crown for a cinnamon roll, I'll buy 6 since I don't have a half-crown coin." he said hoping his excuse sounded plausible as he pushed the three coins forward.

The vendor hands a few buns to Leon, and then places the rest in a small portable container for later.

"Thank you," Leon said to the vendor handing one of the buns to Alex, slipping the portable container into his pack revealing 'Witch Slayer' to the medic for a moment. Then turned tapping Yue on the shoulder offering her the third "Miss.Yue, I saw that you were enamored with these treats. So I purchased one for you, two if you're still hungry after eating this one" he said.

Yue looks to Leon, looks down at the cinnamon bun, looks back up to Leon, takes the cinnamon bun from leon, takes a bite...and then shoves the rest of it into her mouth.

The vendor chuckles at Yue. "Slow down, kiddo. You're gonna choke if you do that. The buns aren't going anywhere."

Alex graciously accepts the treat from Leon. He takes a bite and as he chews, looks over towards the others.‘Maybe I should heave let him get all 10’ Alex thought as he sees Yue inhale her treat. He quickly asks the vendor, “Are you usually out here at this time? I’m pretty sure after that display, we’ll be back for more from time to time.” He says happily.
Alex looks towards the group and says, “Now that we all have our treats, we should get inside and see about getting settled in. There’s so much to do today still. We’re supposed to get a new friend each aren’t we? I can’t wait to see what kind of selection they have. Squirt is the only Pokemon i’ve ever had. It will be nice to expand on the team and get to know another one. There’s also all of your friends I have to get to know also.” He added looking at Bubbles, Rex, and Sharp. He had to ask Leon later about what he caught a glimpse of, and he didn’t feel it was right to ask here and now. Alex decided to wait until they got settled in to ask.

Yue tilted her head. "Inside? Select? What are you talking about, Mr. Alex?" She said after wolfing down another cinnamon bun.

The vendor indicates he's set up a stall out here only for the day. Normally his shop is in the Market Square at the center of town. He even offers directions to it. You just head south along the road from the Guild building (where you are now) and hang a left at Market Square (which is recognizable by the numerous open-air shop stalls). His bakery is right there on the corner.

“Inside the Adventurer’s Guild. You know, the building right next to us.” Alex says as he points to the building. “We go inside. We join up. They give out a Pokemon to new guild recruits.” ‘Did I hear the information right?’ He starts to wonder. “After that, we go on adventures and stuff. You, you did come to join it right?” He asks questioningly.

Leon pointed over to the guild "Me, Alex, and Brooke had all come to the city today to join up with the guild and get a new pokemon because of their 2 Year Anniversary. Also now that I've met you Miss.Yue, I believe it's likely the best place for you to go in regards to your former living situation and in finding your mother. D'Mara was pro guild, so I'm sure if you enter the guild someone would be able to direct you to her." Leon suggested believing from Yue's statements she'd be safer with her mother since her father seemed like the one who imprisoned her.

"A new friend and information about Mother?! What are we still doing out here?!" Yue began to run into the Guild at full sprint.

"I'll stick with her" Leon said to Alex and Brooke picking up Rex, before following after Yue wanting to make sure he didn't lose the young woman in the crowd.

As it's still early, there is a huge line of people waiting to get a new Pokemon. A good portion of them just select a new Poke-Friend and leave. They often walk away with pamphlets of some kind (likely talking about how/why to join the Guild), but there doesn't seem to be a requirement to actually join to get a 'Mon.

Yue immediately attempts to walk up to the front of the line.
