The response was enough to make Gold crack a wide smile, giggling softly as he turned back towards Lucas. He sounded confused almost, but that was silly. Why would he be confused about heading back towards Vermilion? That's where the boat was docked, the Pokémon Center was stationed...did he want to just stay here instead? It was a pleasant thought, and Gold focused on it for a moment or so before Lucas decided to finish the statement.
"Yeah! Horsea probably needs a good fix and you haven't had a chance to see the city yet, right? C'mon! I can show you things along the way!"
Holding his old rod firmly in one hand, the other reached out for Lucas and gently took hold, moving the boy slightly faster than he had originally been intending to travel. The excitement of catching Horsea, making a new friend and being able to attend the cruise were now at the forefront of every breath, Gold's energy renewed tenfold.
It felt good to be back on the road again. Strides were taken quicker than most, but not fast enough to tug annoyingly or make either boy uncomfortable. Every once in a while, Gold would point out something of interest to Lucas with his pole hand, giving his 'expert opinion' and smiling as if he were showing off treasure of rare, personal value. He didn't even stop to consider whether Lucas was really listening or not -- Gold was too caught up in the now to really mind.
