[attr="class","callie"] hoenn is a stranger to callista too.

[break][break] she's only been in town for a few days when they call her in for assignment. not that callista seems to mind — she's always been more at home when she's at work, defending something important.

[break][break] "yeah. i see it too," she says, hand to her hip.

[break][break] a pause, head tilted towards URIAH BLACK . "black, right?"

[attr="class","uriah"]the shrine's a small little wooden structure that sits just on a bit of land that overlooks one of the waterfalls up ahead. at a different time of the day, they'd be able to see how the setting sun cascades across the waterfall, glistening shades of orange over the shrine.

it's still beautiful now, however.

"ry, but black works, too."

he steps over an incline, approaching the shrine.

"do you prefer moon, sergeant moon, sarge..."

[attr="class","callie"] "definitely not moon." her voice is flat, almost like a mockery of @sol 's normal tone of voice, but callista's gaze is surprisingly serious as it rests on URIAH BLACK .

[break][break] moon reminds her of her mother, and she hates her mother.

[break][break] though, maybe that's an exaggeration.

[break][break] she shrugs. "callie's fine too. or cal. callista, whatever floats your boat."

[break][break] a flash of a grin, nearly smug. "i won't complain to sarge, though."

[break][break] she follows him down the incline, making a note of the wildflowers that grow along the curve. her head tilts. "ry's good. anyone ever call you uri before?" she says it like 'yuri', except without the y.

[attr="class","uriah"]huh. for a moment there she kinda sounds like his captain. the thought passes not long after.

"i'll be honest with you, cal, sarge was never gonna stick. i was just being polite."

mirroring a grin that's definitely smug, he shakes his head.

"no, but don't take that as an invitation to start."

the shrine's dusty, almost as though it's been months, maybe years since it's last been cleaned. guess it's up to them to do that today.

[attr="class","callie"] "no, but don't take that as an invitation to start."

[break][break] oh, poor URIAH BLACK . he didn't know callie, but he was certainly going to learn today.

[break][break] "sorry, too late." she flashes a grin at him, eyes sparking with mischief. "uri." she drags last part of his name out, so it sounds like uriiiiiiii.

[break][break] it's a cute nickname, and she's glad she coined it.

[break][break] callie looks towards the shrine, which looks probably worse than her mother's house after a very long seance. luckily, there seems to be two brooms stacked not too far away, one of which that she hands over to the ginger. "you're up, kid."
