[attr="class","spiral"] there's something different about the onsen in the hyacinth quarters than those in lavaridge. perhaps it's the accessibility that keeps bringing fernando back. with each passing day comes another chance for a bath and during this stretch of vacation, he'd be a fool not to take up on the chance. so, here he is, laid back, flushed in a heated pink, and cooking in the heated waters.

Lenora's footsteps are light as she enters the onsen, intending to meet with a friend only to find herself met with Fernando. She blinks then continues forward, stopping at the edge of the spring. Her hand clutches a towel to her chest.

"Good evening, Fernando!" she chimes, shifting to take a seat. Lenora lets her ankles slip into the water and tucks the towel in a manner that will hold it in place.

"How are you? I don't think I've seen you since the event started - outside of destroying everything, of course."

[attr="class","spiral"] fernando's smile is as fake as his attempt to curry a meaningful conversation between them. while he has no innate issues with her, the energy she exudes on the daily has the opposite effect of why he settles into the onsen's waters. eyes rise up to meet her own and fernando looks away at the mention of the war front.

"it's not easy keeping up with the tempo of the events. unfortunately, i don't think i destroyed enough to warrant a hyacinth victory."

"I had no idea you were such an accomplished trainer, to be honest. You always struck me as a bit - hm - a bit too proper? I also watched you defend Hyacinth on the first day."

She taps a nail against the corner of her mouth.

"You led the defense for Slateport, didn't you? Or something like that! I suppose it makes sense now - why you were in charge, I mean. I can't believe that Lopez boy was the one to bring Rocket down, though! Can you? He doesn't have the sort of face you'd expect for it. He looks a bit - hm - simple? Like the sort of man you'd watch mow his lawn next door, you know?"

[attr="class","spiral"] "ha ha. it's nothing, really." fernando plays the humble card but his face shows a distinct stiffness that comes with the mention of being too proper. formality is a gift and a tool of preservation among the upper class. the only thing annoying about it is the constant reminder that other's feel the distance between them, as if it's a bad thing.

"i suppose serving my time on an actual war front has made more more capable than i give myself credit for. however, that's mostly thanks to some skillful planning done by my aids." whether or not lenora believes his lies is one thing, however there is some merit to the lie. the frequent visits by various members to his office showcase his web of connections and more often than not, they'll be passing their visitation rights through lenora. at least during normal business hours.

"but, to be fair, it was less of put in charge and more of who made it out safely. it is the survivors and victors that determine the narratives after. a lot of the fame is exaggerated accounts by people who weren't there." fernando grins a little wider. "but lopez is the real deal. quite the trainer— essential to rocket's take down."

Lenora hums as Fernando finishes speaking, eyes lowering as she contemplates his words. "I'm not very good at battling myself," she says with a sigh, swishing an ankle in the water.

"You know, in books and movies, the bad guy is never defeated that easily. I suppose it wasn't really easy - do you think this was the final battle? Or do you think it's like a movie saga and suddenly a new threat will rise up and take Rocket's place!"

Lenora looks back at him, her smile wide, eyes bright. There is a vacancy to her expression, as if she's talking only for the sake of it and doesn't really understand a word of what Fernando says.

[attr="class","spiral"] fernando's eyes narrow at her response. "there's already a new threat," he comments, crossing his arms while his mood dwindles due to their topic of discussion. "we just don't know when it will strike or what's it is." it's an issue that's plagued him since the beginning of summer and he still doesn't have a solid answer. the mere mention of it is the easiest way to annoy him.

"fiction, is often different than reality, grimaldi."

"Perhaps," Lenora says with a laugh. "I would like to think fiction is, somewhere, someone's reality."

She leans back on her hands.

"What sort of threat do you think would happen? Do you think it could be worse than Rocket? You're very smart, Mister Silph! I quite enjoy talking with you."

[attr="class","spiral"] "perhaps."

fernando leans back against the stone wall that makes up the ridge of the onsen's perimeter. the bulging corners of the rounded stone presses against his back and he leans in further, allowing it to dig in.

"mossdeep."

if it wasn't for their previous encounter, one which fernando was well disguised, as well as dominic sinclair 's assistance, he would've been uncertain about her patronizing him. however, he still hides his discontent, settling on treating her with the same expectations shown since their first meeting, all those years go.

"don't know where those pokemon came from but should they reappear, they pose a greater threat than anything the world's seen before."

Mossdeep had not been a consideration. Lenora tilts her head up to watch the sky. "That's true," she murmurs, trying to recall if she had ever read anything similar to it.

"Perhaps it was a very ambitious science project gone very, very wrong! Or perhaps the end of the world is upon us. Wouldn't that be absolutely terrible? I'm sure whatever it is, it'll turn out fine, of course. We have you and Mister Lopez after all."

Lenora tilts her head down and flashes a disarming smile.

"Really, Hoenn would be a much lesser place without you! I'm sure you had your fair share of backlash but now, you've become an integral part. Isn't it funny how those things end up happening?"
