In truth, he didn't frankly care if he caused this man discomfort. Especially not when Kanto was involved, but his homeland had always been something of a convenient excuse, hadn't it? He wasn't doing this out of retribution. He also hadn't interrogated and tortured people for the safety and security of his people. No, he did it because he liked it. If this man was expecting any kind of leniency out of him, he was sorely mistaken.
[break][break]
Though, guilt and self-blame were things he could work with. There were such excusable things to him as absolution and if this man sought that? Well, he could afford him some leniency for that at least. He marked the notes down in silence as the other continued to explain his story. "They made you do horrible things..." He quoted from the page, ice blue eyes darting up to fixate on the others.
[break][break]
"You know, Mr. Sharpe, in my experience, what I find least disturbing is what people are capable of doing when they feel cornered. I'm not unsympathetic to it but, in the end, the choices you make are the ones you want to make." Of course he wasn't sympathetic, he lacked utter sympathy for most people. "The truth is they did not force you to kill that man, you chose to because you wanted to live. It's really that simple. There's no fault in that, but what matters is the choices you plan to make from here on." He was useful, that was it. Otherwise, this would have gone differently.

"Mmmm no, not really." Considering he was constantly partnered with a ghost that exuded frost wherever she went, maybe he'd grown accustomed to the cold over time. He slipped his scarf off, "Do you want my scarf?" It wasn't really necessary, he just liked the color — crisp icy blue. Maybe he was a bit odd.
[break][break]
This wasn't exactly an orthodox partnership and after finding out her secret of fighting, well... the one thing he should've been doing was reporting her, not going on a winter excursion with her to catch pokemon. His attention was spared from the thought by a floating crystalline pokemon — a Cryogonal.
[break][break]
Releasing Onna, she attacked with will-o-wisp and then he tossed a pokeball.

How was it that someone so tiny could also be so formidable? That was one of many questions that he had, among a slew of others. He didn't really like opened questions. Like little spaces of unsatisfied air that hadn't yet been filled up. It felt like inadequacy, and he couldn't have that.
[break][break]
She appeared out of nowhere and suddenly he was being yanked down to meet her eyes. The difference was rather back-breaking, to say the least. Very uncomfortable. Yet what alarmed him more what the tightening feeling of fingers on his collar, the grubby mixture of dirt and blood that stained her fingers, hid under her nails. He felt a convulsion crash down his body, but he didn't yet pull away. It was very likely she wouldn't allow him to.
[break][break]
There was blood on her face — her own or someone else's, there was no way of knowing for certain. Likely, it wouldn't matter either way. For a moment, he felt far away. In a white room, a body hanging from the steel bolts in the ceiling. He pulled back a little, but it wasn't permitted and his mind returned back to the filth of the underworld. "I was following you." He said, plainly. Likely only echoing her own sentiments. "I was curious." Another non-lie. There really was no point in lying after being found out.
[break][break]
"I want to know why you fight." Another simple non-lie. A truth, as many might say.

There were alarm bells going off in his head, but he couldn't trace the origin. It felt quite far away, by that point, fueled by a fear he couldn't understand. He had no reason to be afraid of Blue, even if she was... a bit of a peculiarity in comparison to other people he'd spoken to. Almost nearly a complete enigma. This was a closed case, she was dirty. He could tell the first time he'd met her, could see it in the bloodless lines of her hands, the war in her eyes, the brutal edges of a fighter in more ways than one. Though, a foolish part of him, wanted to believe that her crimes were limited to the ring.
[break][break]
It was okay to be angry. It was okay to fight. He handled his own demons by digging in people's heads, why couldn't she handle her own with her own brand of violence. They weren't unalike. Yet, that didn't mean she was Rocket. Or, at least, that she was like the people that burned his country. Even then, he wasn't even so much sure if he cared about his country. It had never really been home, but an excuse for something to fight for. In reality, he just liked to break people. So what if she broke things with her hands? Broken bones mend over time, but a broken mind...?
[break][break]
"Oh you are far from forgettable. I was simply giving you an out if you wished to share any secrets." No amount of alcohol could dilute his mind that much. Or well, he'd yet to meet that limit. He drank his drink then as if he was seeking out that limit. Maybe he could turn his brain off for a second and simply be. Would she prefer that?
[break][break]
She waved down the bartender and he took the opportunity to order yet another liquid mistake.
[break][break]
"Okay, I hate that you're here and my day is thoroughly ruined." He laughed at that, despite his attempt to seem genuine in his contradiction. Shinra shook his head at that, feeling a little ridiculous. "You say that, but if you knew me, you'd say otherwise." If she'd met him a couple years ago, she'd be afraid of him. He was sure. His job would have been very different.

"Yeah, I suppose you're right." He laughed at that, but it was dry.
[break][break]
Gunner was intriguing, in a way that likely wouldn't constitute friendliness to many people. Under his skin, Shinra wasn't a friendly person. He enjoyed the blonde's bluntness, yet even more so his guarded disposition. In truth, he'd much rather pry open his skull and see what lived inside, rather than entertain flat conversation over an over-priced drink.
[break][break]
The truth was what had made this year less memorable than those before was that he no longer had a war to survive through. He hadn't just survived, he'd thrived. He enjoyed the excuse to feel alive, even if he'd lost a part of himself in the process, even if that made him a mosnter. And he never got that feeling from anything else.
[break][break]
Still, he smiled then. "I'll be there."

Manipulative, perhaps he was. Perhaps he'd always been. Twisting people into thinking he was in anyway human, when he felt sometimes anything but. The amusement snuck up on him, but it was brief at best before he tuned back into place once more. Even so direct, so focused, never slipping up. That was, admittedly, a mild slip up on his part, but it could be chalked up for an attempt to seem human. Like he cared. When, in reality, all he cared about was the result.
[break][break]
Blue was, admittedly, still something of an anomaly though he could pinpoint certain key traits. He wondered what she valued, clearly not compassion and yet she also seemed to have an aversion to bluntness. Bit of a brat, wasn't she? Did she wish for understanding? It wouldn't have been easier for him if things could be settled in more effective ways, time-effective that is.
[break][break]
"Alright then, your department threw you under the bus. The world is so unfair." Did she feel like the victim in a world of her own making? A bit pathetic, that. At one time, he might have been able to be softer in this though. Something had changed, though he knew exactly what that was, even if he didn't want to admit to it. You don't just go back to being an understanding person after years of cutting through people, ripping through their vulnerabilities and weakest points, without changing in turn. "She probably is better than you. You set the standards of comparison. If you wish to believe yourself less in comparison than no one can tell you otherwise. Certainly not me."
[break][break]
He raised an eyebrow, still smiling. "Do you truly want to know my opinion?" He tilted his head, "I can tell."

His life had been a bit more enigmatic than he typically liked. Shinra was more often the type that enjoyed remaining in control of it all. He had no family to rely upon so oftentimes these holidays were spent alone and his job had become more of a devotion than an occupation because of it. Of course, things felt more complicated after meeting blue murtagh , who should've been no more than another investigation (solved by now if anything). Clearly, she was a dirty cop, and yet his investigation was left open. She reminded him of himself, albeit grungier and with a far fouler temper. Yet lonely.
[break][break]
"I'm looking forward to the new year." He said simply, thankful that it was there at last. Maybe he'd wake out of this stupor and get his shit back together again.
[break][break]
His attention slipped away for a second as the other agreed. He appreciated that, but realized that idle conversation slipped away from him. "Sorry, I'm being a bit grim on a holiday. Aren't I?"

This was probably a bad idea.
[break][break]
Despite his best attempts, he couldn't justify this as work. Shinra wasn't there to analyze blue murtagh , at least not for the intent of trapping her. It felt less like interest to analyze and more... something else? Hell if he knew. He'd never fully understood himself or his own mind, thus this just felt like yet another anomaly.
[break][break]
Maybe it was easy being around someone that was as broken as he was. Even if he put on a better face about seeming anything but broken. He liked the quiet of the icelands. Not only because he preferred the cold to the heat. It felt natural, like a representation of himself. "Are you cold?"
[break][break]
None of this made any sense. Maybe it was a dream.

Shinra raised his hands at that, "Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I believe you." Maybe it was because he'd had more drinks than he could handle, but this was not going at all like he expected. He certainly didn't expected blue murtagh to turn that shade of red or speak with a nearly bratty hitch to her tone.
[break][break]
Despite his brevity paired with intoxicated abruptness, he had to take a moment to study her. The look of pause on her face as she studied the compliment, it was enough to tell him she wasn't used to receiving compliments. It was a shame, though he shouldn't have been the person to provide her with that. How disappointing that would be for her, to realize these compliments are temporary. The person he is under it all was unfeeling, uncaring, vacuous.
[break][break]
"Good," He said, risking a smile, which he found was unexpectedly difficult. Not out of ease, but practice. He smiled often, but it was rarely genuine. "Nope, tonight a psych-free night. I probably wont remember it anyways." He shrugged, a little nudge for her to speak as she wished. He wasn't here to analyze her, even if he might retain the memory for posterity's sake. Though the alcohol might not allow for that.
[break][break]
He tilted his head at that, not exactly the pinnacle of depth in any way. He was a fake person, a persona. Who would he be to suggest otherwise to her? That the holidays could hold more depth? "I can't disagree with you there, I suppose." Was all he could manage. She was a bit of a struggle for him, admittedly. Usually, he adapted with who he spoke to, but with her he didn't necessarily know how to adapt. Instead, he felt the inclination to honesty, which was dangerous... and boring.
[break][break]
"Chatting you up? Is that what the kids say these days?" He snorted at that, "No, I'm not chatting you up. Oh — so I'm not the worst person you ever met? That's a first."

spitting off the edge of the world [s]

Her eyes connected with his. Violent red, flashing through the crowd to fix on him. Like some kind of primal animal in the wild. A latent instinct in him warned of something dangerous and yet all it managed to do was intrigue him even more. There was nothing inherently special about her, he told himself, he'd seen snakes before and he'd seen wild predators. He'd seen the worst sort of men and plucked through the confines of their mind with relative ease. Yet, for some reason, she intrigued him.

As soon as she looked at him, her focus on the fight was lost. A split second, and then she was getting nailed by a nasty hook. He cringed at the sight, teeth gritting on the realization he was maybe a little at fault for that. No point in saying sorry though, she really should have been focusing, shouldn't she?
[break][break]
Turned out there was far more to her than met the eye. As if he hadn't expected as much, considering the volatility of their first meeting. Despite the voice in his head to give berth to the girl with the violent eyes, he couldn't help but follow after her. Only... then he lost her. "Shit," He muttered, steering himself through the crowd in the direction he'd last seen her head.
[break][break]
Well that was disappointing, wasn't it?

blue murtagh was, admittedly, intriguing. Why? He couldn't be entirely certain. Maybe it was simply because he wanted to know what existed in her head and would do anything to pry it free, but his interest felt less... aggressive. This wasn't the Kanto war anymore, he was forced to occupy a new shape. However, unexpected even to him, her next words made him laugh. It was unbidden and forced him to pause.
[break][break]
Okay, odd. Still, he played along with it. "Am I coming on too strong in my psycho-analysis? Too psycho? Not enough analysis?" The hell was he talking about? He focused on the place his pen connected to crisp white paper. Control. "I did not mean to make you distrust your department, I'm sure their reasoning is purely out of concern." He was lying, of course, they didn't call him out of concern for a co-worker's mental state. They called up an older woman that talked like she was a pre-school teacher. Kind eyes, he didn't have that. This wasn't a safe space, she was very much in danger. Though, in retrospect, Blue seemed like the type to enjoy danger unconditionally.
[break][break]
"Well clearly she doesn't so that should be of comfort." He paused then, with an abrupt sigh.
[break][break]
"We can make this a three hour session, I have time. Or you can tell me why they might have concerns about you. This is your opportunity to sugar coat it in any way you wish. I'll accept it for what it is, though my opinion has yet been unchanged."

"I say I do, knowing you will most definitely destroy me." At least at first, he was a quick study, as was to be expected of his job. But there was no doubt that Gunner would beat him until the point he could cheat. He'd never claimed to be honest, himself.
[break][break]
"Has it been a good year though?" He couldn't say that it had been good for him, but it also was better by past circumstance. He was no longer in Kanto and that was always defeat for him, yet success could be found in simpler ways.
[break][break]
For a moment, he wondered if he should speak about these things. Especially not someone he found like-minded and similar to himself. "I work hard because I can't go home." He shrugged at that, "I'm beginning to realize when you live like that, you're never truly satisfied."

"Here you are again referring to this friend, I'm beginning to think they don't exist and are just an excuse." He was actually teasing her, which some (by some, that meant no one) would say that, that was practically flirting for him. Maybe he'd not realized how much he drank before arriving here. Considering he'd only had a couple of drinks with Gunner Graves and a couple more here as well. It wasn't like he was counting or anything, which therein lies his error.
[break][break]
"I have to be drunk to think you look cute right now?" He laughed at that. "Regardless of whether or not I am, which I am not... it'd be impossible not to think that." He raised a brow at her skeptically, maybe even conspiratorially. "Did you dress up because you have a date or something? Am I interrupting it?" She didn't seem to have anyone else around, but maybe the date was before or... after? Hmm.
[break][break]
Despite this circumstance being purely coincidental, he was unexpectedly happy to have the company. This was the second time someone he knew popped up out of nowhere so maybe the universe was telling him he was in desperate need of company. He begged to differ, but Blue was certainly company he wasn't about to object against.
[break][break]
"No, can't say I'm very merry." He shrugged at that, a very light admittance. The holidays didn't mean much to him and he hadn't any fond memories of them. "Well I'll admit, the outfit had surprised me into thinking you might be."
[break][break]
Of course, with her track record, it made sense why she might not be entirely festive either. In that, unexpectedly, he could empathize with. He wasn't sure if he liked the feeling though. It seemed messy. "Well you showed up out of nowhere, so I think my luck is on the up and up. Do you disagree?" Of course, she did.
