From what? [Unconciously, Shinji speaks more quietly as well. But his is still a gruff voice, so it does next to nothing to really soften it.]

Whatever that tries to harm him. [ Whether it be Strega or Team Rocket or even Ken himself. ] It's something I wasn't able to do for my father.

You're a good [kid-]friend. [It's a good thing Ken found someone like you.]

[miniworth]

[ At this moment he gets flustered-- embarrassed, pleased mostly. Friends weren't something Miles did well with, having walked away from his last ones without a word. ]

I-I'm not really-- .... Thank you.

[A half-shrug half-nod. Shinji doesn't give compliments he doesn't mean.]

Ken was-- he was one of the first people I met here my age. [ There had been Luke, too, but there was something very different about Ken and Luke. Ken he related to more. ]

How long ago was that? [ Because it's obvious they're really close, and that doesn't just happen over night. ]

We first spoke to at the end of November, and met in Goldenrod in December. [ And inseparable since. ]
