He retorts with exactly what she means but she can't find the words to convey what she's trying to get at and her frustration with the situation grows. A part of her wishes it were a different sort of fight, something she has an easier time with. This is harder because she knows the words and the patterns but deciding which route she wants is harder. She doesn't know why. Something about this blue haired asshole gets to her.

"That's what I mean though, in one breath you treat me like a total underling and then the next we're having drinks together so which is it?" she gives him a hard look, still not sure this is what she's getting at but it is a part of it.

Why it bothers her so much she can't be sure.

"you say that like they have to be mutually exclusive."

fernando intentionally refrains from completing the rest of his statement. the way he says it hints at something else, something more, but he wants it to fester. food for thought. "why can't it be both?"

by now, he realizes that he's hardly going to get any further work done. their conversation's become to engrossing to return to. without turning away, his furthest hand closes the screen to his laptop. the sound of the porygon whining fades away as the computer goes to sleep.

"last call, isra. i'll be closing out soon."

Isra opens her mouth to say something but chooses to bite his tongue at his last comment.

She accepts the drink, downing it if for no other reason than it seems rude to reject it now. She'll spend the night thinking about what he's said and how it doesn't fit with her, how she sees things. and perhaps in many ways how she wants things to be because it's how she likes it.

"I expected you to leave earlier to be honest. You day people normally do."

"tch. i'm neither a day or night person." his commitment to silph was before isra's time. there's no way she could've seen the nights he's stayed. even then, he'd never let her in. the only merit the league has is that fernando only cares about it to an extent. there's no reason to bust his ass past his bed time. not unless it's an slateport level emergency.

fernando toys with the glass, swirling the blue liquid in circles. "what do you have planned tonight?"

"So it seems." or perhaps he just has a bad sleep schedule, or a workaholic which can be expected from someone still working even now.

When she looks at him its with a raised brow. "Work, double checking that everything's done and then nothing out of the norm." and the norm for her was dealing with the fact no one else was awake yet and she needed to find a way to kill time.

"How long does that really take you, Isra? I can't imagine that takes up your entire shift." Fernando continues to play with the glass, taking deliberately small sips.

"it doesn't. That's why I double check everything before I leave."

Her smile is small. It's a small pride but she takes it, having never done such a mundane job before.

"And are you satisfied with how things are now?" The smile is unnerving but only because he doesnt know why she's beaming. "I believe youre the only one there most of the time."

"I'm used to it, so to that extent I am satisfied." she nods, more to affirm it for herself. It's not that she has a problem with the solitude, she gets to wonder down the halls singing and dancing to herself with no one to look at her funny.

"You can't really ask a question like that. There's nothing to compare it to." not really.

"so you're saying i shouldn't spoil you." fernando takes a pronounced sip this time, killing about half of it. he sighs when he breaks from it. the warmth is starting to pool and he can feel the growing flush on his cheeks. it's not an obvious pink but it'll grow with time.

"complacency keeps you content, isra?"

The woman shrugs. She's never been spoiled before, the thought of it foreign. She knows the concept but not what it would mean. "I'm not sure how one would spoil me to be honest."

She has to think a moment. "I'm not content. Not in the slightest. If I were I wouldn't be here." She doesn't know how else to word it, but it's true none the less. She is not content with the way of things in the slightest.

"i guess you really do think i treat you like a grunt, huh?"

he smiles at the comment but it's obviously forced. "then what do you want, isra?" it's a deep question and one that fernando's been curious about but couldn't find the fuck to give to ask it. only now, in the bare bones of a casual, open conversation does he start to pry into something more personal.

"can't really answer that. It's not something that straightforward." she looks at him a moment.

"... I'm not sure what you treat me as. What do you? What do you see me as?" its about time she asked a question, isnt it?

there's a deviousness to his smirk that implies that the alcohol plays a part to his answer. "i'm not sure yet. you can be a pain sometimes but you get things done. i'm satisfied with your performance and you're not as naive as the others - ideologically, anyway."

fernando kills the rest of the drink. it's gives him the push to finish his answer.

"i like you more then the others but that depends on how whimsical you're feeling. i'd like you more if you were obedient."

She's chuckling. It only takes one word for her to start up and she covers her mouth to hide the grin. "of course you would. You won't get it. Besides a challenge is probably better for you than you think."

The grin is still there when she drops her hand, "but men who like obedience never see it that way."

She not really surprised.
