and if the footsteps didn't alert her, the roaring of a motorcycle sure would.

cordelia was cruising through the streets, letting the feeling of her bike unwind her. there has been so much going on lately - if anything, she finds herself wondering if life was meant to be this way for her. and it was only out of luck did she see someone duck into an alleyway - into a dangerous area. that made her curious and slow down doubling back. only to see someone wandering in after the first person. seeing the face of the male that went in, cordelia felt her eyes narrow, and her heart harden. she knew the type. she had seen them often enough in lilycove, often unrepenting when found next to a body, or a sobbing person. so she didn't even think to give it a chance.

she eased into the alleyway, just before it opened into a back road. revving her back, the echo of the motor would resonate through the whole thing, grabbing both wanderer's attention. "how 'bout you walk away real quick like, and I won't run you over big guy?" she said, her green eyes sharp like steel. the male seemed to pause a moment, but then saw that not only she, but probably his intended victim, had noticed him. with a click of the tongue, he disappeared into a connected alleyway, leaving cordelia to roll up towards the - now easily identifiable - female. well, cordelia hoped it was a girl, it's been a thing lately to trick people. and that's not even talking about those that are atypically gendered to say the least.

cordelia really just wants to be correct even if it makes her want to rip her hair out in confusion.

"hi there! you ok? I saw him come in after you, and wasn't sure if you needed my help, but this is a pretty risky area of the city to be walking around alone at night." she said, giving the girl a shrug and a smile. she only knows because she's been seeking out dark places like this, for reasons she's not too sure of yet. "I'm sorry if it was too forward of me, I just can't help but jump to people's aid. I could offer you a ride, if you'd like, to your apartment or wherever you're comfortable me taking you? oh right! my name's cordelia, pleased to meet you!" she said, not quite babbling, but clearly unafraid to speak. she offers the other girl a grin, hopefully a comforting one.

but in this new, dangerous world she had been dunked into recently, cordelia really doesn't know anymore.

the blonde beams. it's clear she doesn't have a single decieving bone in her body - she's too earnest and forthright for that. and honestly, if she was a deceiver, this would be some amazing acting because she herself believes it. so case in point, cordelia's warning did not apply to herself. she didn't even think of it applying to herself. but her attention catch on a few words from the woman. "a request huh?" she said, thoughtful. she didn't elaborate, but instead waited for the request itself. of course, the blonde feels her attention perk even more when the red head proceeded to summon a pair of pyroar - excellent, amazingly red pokemon.

from the pack on the bike, an eevee poke it's head out with a small yip, ears flicking. curiously observing the pair of lions, and wiggling out of the bag to come close to his trainer.

"oh?" cordelia answered. the request was - well, understandable. and something in her heart thumped a little bit. this time, when the blonde smiled, it held something else. something unfittingly dark on the bright and bubbly seeming girl. "that, that I can definitely do." she said. honestly, it felt as if her mind was splintering in it's own way, her perception moving quickly, rapidly. the girl reaches to her own belt, and pulls out a singular pokeball. with a flick of her wrist, without letting go of the ball, a beam of red light materializes into a scizor.
[break][break]
"laus, track the guy that went into the alleyway." she said. with a nod, the scizor was off - bouncing up the building to the rooftops, and then vanishing in the night. carefully, she turned off her motorcycle, and fully slid off the helmet she had been wearing, letting her blonde hair cascade free. she hadn't bothered to tie it up tonight, if only because it would've been troublesome. "claudius, guard speedy won't you?" she said to the eevee, patting it.
[break][break]
her attention turns to the woman. "what's your plan? I'm curious to know." she said, offering another grin - this one also tainted by that sense of something different.
[break][break]
he will not receive mercy from her tonight, that's for sure.
