He’d like to say that his reason for being here was completely selfless but, as the hungry people who would soon be sitting around the fold out tables would tell you, sometimes life wasn’t all that fair let alone uncomplicated. At least he wasn’t taking money from the soup kitchen, so that was something.

Pulling the apron over his head, Angelo ignores the empty ache in his stomach, used to the sensation of it not being fully content and pushing it to the back of his mind. Although he didn’t let himself go to sleep hungry, when he was alone Angelo wasn’t always very good at making sure he had a nutritious diet, instead sticking to cheap and easy foods for his on-the-go lifestyle. Lately the best meals he’d had was with Skyler, where he could justify getting ingredients together and make something worthy to go with the good company, rather than pick up the cheap leftovers from a restaurant at closing time, as he did more than he'd like to admit. After this, he reminded himself, he’d get a properly cooked meal to stuff his face with. It was worth looking forward to.

Besides, helping out at the soup kitchen for a few hours in the healing Lilycove wasn’t all too bad.

“Five minutes, then we’re opening up guys.” Informs the guy in charge and Angelo lets out a hum of acknowledgement, reaching behind him to tie the apron into a messy knot at the back as he strolls out into the front of the building where the makeshift food station had been set up, a line already visible beyond the blur of a window. At least if it’s busy, it’ll keep his mind off having no breakfast..

Shiny Sinistea (Cursed Body): Protect | Giga Drain | Nasty Plot | Shadow Ball | Will-O-Wisp | Phantom Force

[break][break]

A pink Sinistea tidies up, using its ghostly manipulation to organize utensils, tables, and food trays at the serving station. The spectacled young man stirring the soup, in the meantime, shifts his hues of blue-grey towards the lad that has just approached. He notices a small hole at the end of the other man's apron. Instead of mentioning it, he follows the other man's gaze towards the line of poor people outside.[break][break]

"First time?" The man inquires with the hint of a Galarian accent, raising his soup ladle and tapping it against the edge of the pot. "What are you here for, exactly?" He bluntly adds, hanging the now dropless ladle from the rack above the station.[break][break]

His Sinistea appears to have finished its preparations at this point, and floats over to the stranger as the other volunteers move to open the doors. It offers the lad a polite little bow before bouncing up and encircling him twice with a quizzical look.[break][break]

He spares one last glance at the line outside as he walks up to the counter, his attention instead diverted to the utensils and cooking pots, scented steam wafting out and making his stomach feel empty again. He’d rather that though then focus on the outside, the line reminding him of back home and how, although his family had little money to their name, they had managed to keep food on their table at least. Even if they had had to cut a lot of corners. But who was he to say that one little bump in the road couldn’t have made them resort to the same situation as the people outside? The thought was one he didn't want to linger on...

Another man is already there at the station with his Sinistea and Angelo regards the floating teacup with a return gesture of greeting, giving his head a dip in a singular nod and not minding as it curiously floats around him. “Actually, yeah.” He responds casually as his serving neighbour opens up with a question. “I’ve got the look of a newbie, huh?” Much like there’s the detectable tang of a foreign accent on his tongue, there’s one on Angelo’s too, the Alto Mare dialect hiding a twang of Johtonian within. By voice alone it’s clear neither of them was natives.

Angelo raises a brow at the next question, not bothered by the follow-up but a little puzzled by the query in itself. Surely it would be fairly obvious why someone was here on this side of the counter, right? “I’m getting a free meal out of it.” And so he answers with half of the truth, although his voice has a hint of laughter at the edges to pass it off as a joke, his lips curled into an easygoing grin. After all, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the primary motive for helping out at a soup kitchen. He didn't need to divulge that his benefit of helping out on such short notice sat right in front of the guy's nose, bubbling away temptingly - at least not right away. “And you?”

The accent was certainly noticeable. Not obvious by any means. But as a well traveled individual, Remiel caught on with little trouble. "In a place as dreary are this, the fresh-faced as easy to spot." He answered bluntly.[break][break]

The royal would rethink that, however, upon discovering the lad's true reason for participating. He supposed he didn't look too fresh-faced at all, upon closer inspection with his nonchalant eyes. But he didn't exactly seem to fit the bill as 'dreary' either. In fact, the stranger seemed to emanate quite the opposite. Some might could even call his enthusiasm 'infectious'. [break][break]

"I'm a volunteer for Galar Gives, the charity run by the Galarian Embassy here." He explained, not bothering to mention he was the head of the aforementioned organization. "My name is Remiel." He added, extending his hand. "It is a pleasure to meet you."[break][break]

Meanwhile, the volunteer hosting tonight's dinner moved past them and made his way towards the door to let the first of the refugees and homeless inside.[break]

“Fresh faced? Me?” Angelo’s lips curl into a smirk, amused. That wasn’t the kind of descriptor he would have used for himself. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”

He ignores the comment about the place being dreary because, although it could easily be swung in the direction of being an insult, these kinds of places weren’t exactly known for being filled with sunshine and joy. Kind of why they existed in the first place. Although, dreary didn’t seem like the right kind of word to come from someone in a charity who frequents such places, either.

“Angelo,” he responds with an accompanying handshake, calloused fingers reaching out to clamp around Remiel’s own as the charity volunteer greets him on fancy tones. “Likewise. Oh, and hey – as you’re the seasoned veteran volunteer – don’t be shy about showing me the ropes, ‘kay?” Angelo grins, dropping their hands. It looked like their shift was about to begin.

Dressed in a Christmas, Delibird knitted jumper that balances the fine line between tacky and charming, the volunteer in charge opens the door. Refugees and homeless trickle in off the Lilycove streets, filling the hall with chatter and clattering as they get to work serving up the free meals. Angelo flits about, not seeming to stand still for long, either busy bringing tall stacks of clean bowls in from the washing station out back and stirring or dishing up soup, making brief conversation with the guests as he did so. Being rushed off his feet isn’t new territory for him, it seems.

“Looks like the line is slowing a bit,” he says behind a tower of freshly cleaned crockery in his arms, placing them down on the station besides Remiel. “Let me know if you want to step away for a sec for a break? I can cover, it’s no problem.” It was quite warm behind here, Angelo noted, with all the heat pouring off the ovens. They'd been going non-stop since they opened, too.

Their work begins, though Remiel spends most of it regarding the tacky Delibird jumper that the volunteer wears. Some grown men were comfortable with looking like fools. Remiel couldn't imagine a future where he shared that comfort. His eyes shifted over to Angelo, wondering whether he was one of these men as well. The lad caught notice of his glance, however, and regarded him after setting down a collection of plates.[break][break]

Remiel nods in response, then begins to untie his apron after soaking off an emptied macaroni tray in the sink. "You've earned a little break yourself, I'd say. At any rate, we've served the majority of people who come to partake. Theodore can handle those who trickle in for a little while." He declares, nodding towards the enthusiastic college student stirring the gravy nearby. He had a Mr. Mime helping ferry out the trays of food and clean, anyway.[break][break]

Removing his apron, the dark-haired prince holds it up in the air for a moment before his butler Sinistea quickly levitates it out of his grasp, hovering away with it to hang it on a hook against the wall. "Let's head off, then. There are some chairs just out the backdoor. I'll grab us something us drink." He says, already moving away to do so.[break]

Angelo raises a brow at the suggestion before shaking his head, about ready to insist that he didn’t need to take a break. It wasn’t like he couldn’t take five minutes; he was just used to kind of ploughing through, on working through the fatigue and the aches. “It’s okay, I’m not-“ He starts, ready to assure Remiel that he was fine to keep going, only for the other man to seemingly not take no for an answer, already assigning his replacement and hanging up his apron. Angelo’s gaze follows him for a moment before, with a soft sigh of amused defeat, follows along. Why not?

“Thanks Theo, don’t burn yourself out at Christmas though, ok?” He claps the younger man on the shoulder as he passes, passing a small smirk his way as if he wasn’t the type to totally do the same – as if he wouldn’t have just kept on working if Remiel hadn’t insisted.

Not bothering to remove the apron, Angelo walks through to the back, leaving the other volunteer to go and get some drinks for the both of them. Stepping out through the door, he’s met with a refreshing breeze, tinged with the faint scent of the sea. After spending the afternoon under the stuffy heat of the cookers the cooling air on his skin is greatly appreciated and Angelo lets out a little sigh in the dip in temperature, releasing Lyra the Clefairy so she could share in it, too.

Hooking one of the chairs with his foot, Angelo drags it over so that he sit without having to stare at the view of the chain-link fence, Lyra immediately hopping up onto his lap as soon as he reclined – waiting for Remiel and the drinks.

Somewhere nearby, a faint rustling through a dumpster could be heard but it’s gone before Angelo can spare it much thought.

A bottle of red wine (three quarters empty) from the previous new year had been stashed beneath the kitchen sink and forgotten. Remiel had discovered it the week before when he'd been searching for an extra container of mop soap. Seizing it from the dark depths below now, the black-haired royal yanked out the cork that had been jammed inside it and took a quick sniff of its contents.[break][break]

It certainly didn't compare to any of the wine in the Palace Calcifet's cellar, but... it would do. So, using his other hand to pluck up a pair of styrofoam cups he had set upon the counter, the Galarian headed out the back door with their prize. It was there where he found Angelo once more, sitting in the alleyway and accompanied by a Clefairy that Remiel regarded with an indifferent glance.[break][break]

"I trust you drink wine?" He asked, returning his hues of cobalt to Angelo as he held up the bottle for him to see. Reaching forward, he offered the young man his cup before finding his seat. Just as he began to think they'd have to serve themselves, Earl Grey slipped in through the open crack of the back door and took charge. The bottle levitated out of Remiel's hand soundlessly, and proceeded to pour itself into their cups.[break][break]

"When I was last in Alto Mare, it was still a beloved tradition to have a glass after a hard's day work with your peers." He added, folding one leg across the other as he watched the crimson liquid pour into his white cup.[break]

When Remiel had suggested a drink, he hadn’t thought he’d reappear with a bottle of half-drunk wine from a soup kitchen, deep red and with a promising label. An unexpected but definitely not unwelcome development.

“Yeah,” the courier responds simply, reaching out to take the styrofoam cup that had been offered to him. Angelo holds out his other hand too, wanting to get a proper look at the bottle and to offer to pour it for them, partially just so he can admire the liquid as it glugged into their waiting, cheap containers. It seemed the Sinistea was having none of it, though; swooping in from the kitchen like it was on a mission and serving the portions itself.

“But it’s been a while. You have to offer up your right arm to get hold of a decent bottle here,” Angelo muses, as he holds the cup out for the Sinistea to pour for him, feeling just a little bit awkward at being waited on. Remiel seemed unperturbed by it though, his body language letting him know that this kind of service was not a new experience for him. “And it never tastes as good as back home; so I don't really bother.” Angelo sinks down in his chair a little with a sigh, posture far more relaxed than the other volunteer, his legs stretched out as he brings the cup to his mouth to take a sip.

It’s not bad… That probably means it’s out of his price range. At least if you buy shit beer then you know you’re going to get shit, reliable beer.

“It still is. Traditions like that stick around for a reason, you know. What’s better than sitting on the edge of the canal and having a drink after a long day on the clock?” Not like everyone had the time to do it every day but when it was brought up, it was something that you took. Angelo had managed to partake a few times but usually he’d been busy helping at home, so finding time to get merry on cheap, flavourful wine in the fading, afternoon sun had been a rarity…

“So, you’ve been to Alto Mare, huh? What did you think?” He queries with a small smile hidden behind the lip of his cup, something in his blue eyes sparkling in intrigue. Lyra, too, blinks up at Remiel with curious eyes about the place she’d been hatched.

Remiel certainly shares Angelo's frustration over the lack of fine wine in Hoenn. Barring the trouble of having a few barrels personally imported from other regions, the finest Hoenn had to offer was decent at best. And some yet wondered why the Galarian Ambassador had chosen to build a winery in the fields north of Rustboro.[break][break]

"I trust that will change soon," He chimes in, gently stirring the contents of the styrofoam cup with a titled rotation of his hand. "Especially if there's a market for it, outside of holidays and other celebratory events." With any luck, there were more connoisseurs such as himself and Angelo out there. He'd already met a handful, though much more that only pretended to be.[break][break]

The black-haired young man takes his sip as Angelo fills him in on the current day happenings of beautiful Alto Mare. He's pleased to hear the tradition remains alive. It certainly wasn't something he took for granted anymore. These were tumultuous and ever-changing times.[break][break]

"It's hard to find the time, or even someone willing to partake in such traditions, these days... but I agree." He nodded, on the cusp of noting how important it could be, and had been, in the aspect of human socialization. But, having learned from dead conversations of past, he refrained from diving into the pool of his anthropological knowledge.[break][break]

Lightly rocking the foot he has propped on his knee, the prince thinks for a moment before responding to Angelo's inquiry. His cobalt eyes set themselves upon the starry sky above as he answers. It's almost as if his mind dwells elsewhere, though clearly not enough to keep him from giving an honest and thorough reply.[break][break]

"It's lovely. I've never seen a more crystalline sunrise than the one I witnessed in Alto Mare. The summers are warm and sweet... the fragrance of fresh brine in the cool breeze is invigorating. I've gone every year since the age of thirteen for the Tour de Alto Mare. I expect I'll be going this year as well, with Isra."[break][break]

He pauses; blinks. He hadn't meant to divulge her name to somebody who didn't even know who she was. But alas, he tries to move past it as he takes a sip of his wine again and turns to his peer. "And yourself? What made you leave all that behind?"[break]

“Well, if you ever find any give me a shout,” he adds, not really holding much hope that Remiel would stumble upon a bottle that met his requirements – as modest a standard as they were. He was no wine snob, at least he liked to think, just having grown up with a different kind of character. “If it’s reasonably priced, they’ll get a loyal customer out of me.” Angelo takes another sip, enjoying the flavour and smoothness after too long of tipping back alcohol that burned your throat in all the wrong ways. It’s a nostalgic taste and one he finds he appreciates more now that his palate has gone without for a time.

Listening as he nurses his drink; Angelo prepares himself to put on some kind of smile for the answer. Not out of faux niceties as Remiel discussed his opinions about his home town, nor to cover a lack of interest but perhaps to mask the bittersweetness of it all. It had been a few years now since he had gone home – avoided going home.

He didn’t need it though, the fellow volunteer's answer pulling an amused smile from him, regarding the other man with a raised brow. “That’s, uh… one way to describe it. You work as a travel journalist in your spare time or something?” There’s a soft chuckle echoed into his cup, regarding Remiel’s choice of descriptive words with a prickle of amusement. That was the vacationer poetry, he supposed, as someone who grew up there such things seemed normal that a romantic spin just felt odd. It was just 'the sunrise', to someone who lived there. “If not, maybe you should. The Alto Mare Tourist Bureau would probably pay you a pretty dollar for ‘crystalline sunrises’ and invigorating brine’.” His humoured smile turns a little wicked at the corners.

If Angelo hadn’t figured out this guy was from money yet, then it was obvious now – who else could afford to go abroad to Alto Mare every year since they were a teenager at peak Tour season?

“Nice to finally find someone who can appreciate The Tour,” he responds genuinely, thinking back to the narrow canals filled with floats and racing pokemon, crowds filling the streets and balconies with competitive cheer. It had been a while since he’d seen it live, longer still since he had actually competed himself. “I know some good spots to watch it that a lot of the tourists don’t know about, if you’re interested – as long as you can keep the secret.”

Angelo notes the name dropped casually into the conversation – a woman’s name – but he doesn’t bring it up, or make note of the man’s brief pause. Probably Remiel’s girlfriend or something. It wasn’t really his business to pry.

“Studying. Mauville U. I’m on a gap year at the moment,” he answers, honest but not diving too far into the details as to why he’d leave Alto Mare behind. Angelo brings the cup to his lips and realises he’s on the last few drops, having unknowingly sipped at it during the conversation. Drinking it like it was water. “Think I picked a hell of a year for a work stop, though.” He tips the rest back and shamelessly brushes the rim with his mouth to catch the last droplets, voice dry, both probably knowing exactly what he meant. Angelo still feels thirsty.

Remiel smiled a little, though the expression faded away almost as quickly as it had arrived. "I'm afraid not. But I suppose, in manner of speaking, my current job is akin to something like a 'tourist bureau'..." He adds, taking keen notice of Angelo's mischievous smile but saying nothing of it. It was likely he'd realized exactly who he was dealing with at this point. Or perhaps not.[break][break]

Taking a sip from his wine, the black-haired royal pauses when the lad mentions the chariot races. "Oh? Perhaps I'll see you on the next tour, then? I would gladly take a former local's advice. I'm sure there's plenty of Alto Mare I've yet to see, beyond the five-star resorts and landmarks."[break][break]

University seemed as good a reason as any to leave one's hometown and venture out into the world. Remiel, himself, had not done so. He had been born, bred, and educated in Hammerlocke his whole life. It took a few defining events to prompt him to leave the comfort of his palace grounds, and the duty of his royalty, behind. Since then he'd felt more alone than he'd ever felt before, and would have stayed that way had it not been for Isra. Even so...[break][break]

He notices Angelo's cup is on its last few drops. So, grabbing the wine bottle Earl Grey had set on a crate beside him, Remiel casually pours the young man a second serving before filling his own cup once more. "Why do you think so?" He inquires. "Current events?"[break][break]

“Please tell me you haven’t just been sticking around the hotel district and tourist spots since you were a kid. That’d be damn tragic,” he raises a brow at him, unsure whether to be surprised or not. Angelo wasn’t taken aback by the word ‘five-star resorts’ coming out of Remiel’s mouth but for someone to have been going there for years, surely he must have ventured pretty far into the maze of canals and small streets. Alto Mare wasn’t exactly big.

“You’re missing out. Tell me when you go next, I’ll give you a list of places to hit up – you can’t just limit yourself to the Museum and Guardian Plaza. Maybe I’ll sign you up for The Tour, too. It’s always fun getting the tourists involved.” There’s a sly grin on his lips then, hinting towards mischievous memories of unprepared tourists being dragged into the challenging allure of the water chariot races.

Reaching his empty cup out for Remiel to fill, he offers him a thanks before turning back to the conversation. Angelo softly sighs against the lip of the styrofoam cup before taking a sip. “’Current events’ is a modest way of describing it,” it was more like a shitshow but Angelo had been in Hoenn for a few years now, albeit locked within Mauville. Craziness was an everyday event in the region but this year had really taken the fucking cake. “Not like there was any way of avoiding it, I suppose. Would have happened whether I was on the road or not. Guess I should just count my blessings…” Some – more like many – hadn’t been so lucky.

Tipping back a larger splash of wine down his throat, not taking the time to savour that one as it pleasantly warmed his chest, Angelo turns his focus onto Remiel; not wanting to delve too deep into the circumstances that led for this soup kitchen being opened in the first place.

“What about you? Always lived here?” He didn’t sound like a local.

Remiel had done his fair share of exploring in Alto Mare. At least... he thought so. Unsure that it would serve to meet Angelo's standard, however, he chose to make no mention of it, instead taking another sip of his wine as his eyes flitted away. Regardless of what he had or hadn't explored, he was sure the lad had him beat.[break][break]

Indeed, he'd gone to the tourist spots mentioned by Angelo and had watched the chariot races for some time now, but never had he... participated in them. Now that Remiel had more or less separated himself from his family, however, there was no one to make a fuss about him joining. Well except for, perhaps, Earl Grey. The pink Sinistea had gone back into the building to fetch them snacks.[break][break]

After the ambassador had finished refilling their cups, he spared a moment to hear the other man's explanation. He mused on the current, violent and bizarre, happenings in the region. And, when he was ready to speak on it, he set the wine bottle down, took another sip from his cup, and leaned back into his chair with a sigh. "Well... we weren't eaten. I suppose there is some comfort to be had in that, hm?"[break][break]

The spotlight of Angelo's inquiry soon shifts back to him, and he doesn't bother to mask his response with lies of any sort. Whether that speaks to the potency of the wine or a sneaky sense of comfort he hasn't realized yet, however, Remiel has yet to figure out. "I moved here over a year ago from Galar, on a work visa with the Devon Corporation. Then I came across some... opportunities that compelled me to stay longer."[break][break]

He pauses for a moment, but only to regard the Pidgey gathering on the power line just across from them. They'd come expecting handouts. "This is a rather strange region, though... isn't it? It really makes you feel as though you're part of a grander story..."[break]
