As the cruiser came to a swaying halt at the docks of Strawberry Hill Island, Yoshi promised his companions that this would only be a quick errand. He’d be back long before it was time for the ship to set sail again, but insisted that this needed to be done.
Walking over the gangplank, Yoshi set foot on land and took a deep breath to take in the air of his home, where it all began. He had a couple of bad memories of this place, but some very fond ones too. After he had been forced to leave the orphanage, he was able to make an identity for himself that brought him to this point in his life, a proud musician aiming to make it big! Being optimistic was what always got him through in life, this episode was treated no differently. Along the way, a few mishaps did cause some issues, which prompted the young artist to keep his head down, but he was hopeful that it won't last forever.
While his bounty was nowhere near those other folks with massive numbers on their heads, it was still a bounty, and to an innocent person like Yoshi, it was enough to make him anxious whenever out and about in public. One day, he hoped to prove that the bounty was undeserved and everything was all just a misunderstanding, but right now he had another goal in mind.
He needed to replace his yellow jacket.
This was the place he had originally bought his old one from, after all, surely he could find an identical - or incredibly similar - one. As he walked through the streets of Strawberry Hill, planning to steer clear of the Orphanage and any other areas where he might be recognised, he made his way toward the shopping district that faced the docks with his wings folded and concealed underneath his t-shirt. The subtle slits cut into it would allow them to spread if he needed them to; however, with one wing injured, it wasn’t likely they’d be doing that.
“Alright…” pausing, he rubbed his gloved hands together, the padding stuffed into the fingers making up for the thinly structured digits in the gloves. A smile grew on his face as he was excited to be here and slightly overwhelmed at how busy this district was. He had quite forgotten what it was like to even be at a shopping district, let alone one such as this! There were so many shops, all lined up with items on display outside and in. Lightly patting his pocket to check that his money was still in there, he hurried forward to begin his browsing, lingering outside each one to do some window-shopping first.
