he couldn't articulate why something smoulders under his skin. usually, in the long quiet periods, dominic can reduce it to an almost forgettable ache; dulled either through ingested substances or something more carnal.

"sorry to disappoint," dominic says after a moment. he pauses before speaking again, his tone turning sardonic. "at least it'll look good on a written report."

maybe it will be generations before hoenn can consider itself healed; reconstruction efforts with the aid of legendary beasts can remedy a gored land but nothing can undo what has been done to a shattered people. although kanto burned differently, he still knows it to be true.

dominic runs his tongue along his teeth and scoffs. he wants to laugh in marcel's face but settles for a half-hearted sneer. "fishing to see if i'm a danger to myself and others?"

the losses were too exhaustive to call it a victory, although really dominic knows he will never be satisfied. he - all of them here, leagues under the sea - suffered nothing.

his eyes narrow and his smile, briefly, grows wider only to fade just as quickly. "not really," he says with an apathy that he doesn't truly feel. "unlike those two we have locked up in holding, i'm not a savage."

he's familiar with marcel's propensity to answer questions with his own. dominic's smile turns jagged; the back and forth is a fleeting distraction from the festering in his chest. he spreads his fingers - hands bloodless - across the table's surface.

"are you saying you don't have one?" he counters in a lazy drawl.

the three days that the war lasted weren’t long enough; the gnawing, scraping ache living behind his ribs was never sated.

when dominic tilts his head sideways his exhaled laugh is humorless and dry. "yeah? you could have stayed back here. safe," he says slowly, his gaze contemplative when it flickers to study marcel’s face. "why didn’t you?"

dominic's gait is carefree when he enters the room but slows dramatically the moment he steps in and sees the pair. the fridge is open and the contents is apparently being emptied on every available surface.

his eyes drop to a container baring his name and he feels the muscles in his face freeze up.

"that's my fucking food," he says after a long moment, his tone curt. dominic raises his gaze to regard circe, sharp and accusatory. he mistakenly thinks priam would never dare touch that which is his.

he specifically prepared that for the megalopolan general - the one that apparently bites? dominic had heard from one of the other grunts that the guy couldn't handle gluten or lactose so he had spent the night researching what the fuck he could eat and this was the result.

"put it back it's... experimental."

when the adrenaline bleeds from him, when the dust settles over the cycling road and when their vessel sinks to the ocean floor once more; dominic will close his eyes but he will never sleep.

there’s commotion outside the door by the medical bay, but the breakroom is empty but for the underboss and the arcanine by his feet. his wounds are for the most part superficial so he waits for his turn with bruises running along his sides, with gouges at his back from the explosion - but otherwise intact.

he carved this place in the submarine out for himself, the mere presence of the man enough to deter most from entering. someone does anyway and dominic eyes his colleague for a moment before reaching for bottled water behind him and tossing it toward the admin.

"cheer up," dominic says flatly, without even looking too closely at marcel’s expression. he thinks he already knows what he’ll see.
