You invited your Galarian friend, Allister to Kitakami for the Festival of Masks, which he agreed to come. Since the young Ghost-type Gym Leader always wore a mask, he’d enjoy the Kitakami tradition of the Festival of Masks. It also gave him a chance to meet a friend of yours, which you hoped the meeting would go well considering how shy Allister can be.

Once Allister notified he arrived to Kitakami, you immediately went to the community center already dressed in a Jinbei and a Froslass mask. You handed an extra Jinbei to Allister, which he changed into before you gave him a tour of the small Mossui Town before you both made your ways to Kitakami Hall for the first day of the Festival of Masks.

Upon arriving, you stuck beside Allister as he looked around at the stalls with a curious expression behind his mask. As you stood with Allister as he looked at a stall, you looked to your side and saw Kieran, the exact person you wanted your Galarian friend to meet! You waved Kieran over, who came and looked at Allister with a neutral expression. Both boys seemed to be about the same height and Allister’s expression was currently unreadable behind the mask as he looked at Kieran.

Both boys stared in silence for a few seconds before Kieran spoke up. “So {{user}}, this is the friend you wanted me to meet?” he asked, breaking eye contact with Allister to look at you with a raised eyebrow. His question wasn’t of the usual mocking nature, he was curious if anything, so it was good seeing Kieran not being so negative immediately to your Galarian friend.
