[attr="class","matias"]admittedly, there might have been better places for a meeting that carries much more weight than perhaps he realizes at the moment, but it's a relatively safe choice considering how little he knows of eris.

but still, after what they went through together in kanto, it won't take much for him to trust her.

so for now, he waits inside the same haidilao restaurant that the league once met in recently. hopefully, it won't be as chaotic this time.

[break]
apprehension

The slew of messages left on her phone go unanswered. Emotions are high, albeit a little numbed by the lack of energy she has. She's barely had a wink of sleep ever since she steeled her will to visit Razz in Dewford, barely a moment where she's not doubting the choices she's making.
[break][break]
Lies. Deceit. Betrayal. Broken promises. As far as she knows, Melody Miro is granted safety as long as she cooperates. As far as she knows, they haven't physically roughed her up beyond the kidnapping. But what of the past few days? Surely there hasn't been enough things happening to change the status quo...
[break][break]
Eris tugs at the hood of her cloak, pulling it further down if only to block light out for the briefest of moments. It is by sheer will that she doesn't start picking at her fingernails. What's going to happen to Melody if this doesn't work? She wants so desperately to confide in her closest companion, but she's afraid of people recognising the Luxray, paranoid of being recognised herself.
[break][break]
"Itllbeokay... everythingsokay..." Comfort is whispered under her breath, a child not wishing to give Razz Kingsman more trouble than she already has. Surely, he's still a little bitter about everything that's happened as of far. She doesn't lead the way and she doesn't dare to lag too far behind, her fists clenching and relaxing in rhythmic cycles even as they enter the restaurant and find the table for 3.
[break][break]
The scent of food feels so heavy, but she tries her best to ignore it, keeping her gaze to the table as if she were a child guilty of shoving another kid in the playground. Tense and relax, a deep breath in and a slow breath out.
[break][break]
She's gotta pull herself together if she wants to help Melody at all.

Maybe he should’ve been the one to pick the place as a restaurant was far too public for all this. Did the other think he was leading him into a trap of some sorts? Did they want witnesses in case something happened? Razz doesn’t entirely know but he goes along with it as it’s what he promised Eris. And with hostages on the line he wasn’t going to take it all lightly. [break][break]

He tries to give Eris a comforting pat on the shoulder, even giving her a squeeze to try and comfort her. He doesn’t know if it’ll work, but he’s trying. “It’ll be fine,” he tells her, something he’s come to do more out of habit than anything else. Though he’d be lying to say he can’t relate to the choice she's making. [break][break]

“Silph,” Razz greets with a nod before he sits across the older man and besides Eris, “Thank you for agreeing to meet”[/.b]

apprehension

She wonders if Razz shared the same feelings as she did when he defected. Though, it can be said that their situations are a little different. Where Razz had found a cult that had ensnared him with blood ties, she had found a family that loved her despite their lack of relations. He hadn't been attached but she is, undeniably so.
[break][break]
The pat he gives her does remind her that she's not alone in this. And yet, doubts are beginning to cloud over the clarity she once held, uncertainties poisoning the sparks of courage she'd been given.
[break][break]
"I uhm... I've... been okay?" Boiling and bubbling, thoughts arise like the overcooked vegetables that sit in the stew, each one never seeming to hold the words that she wishes to convey. Her gaze falls upon anything but Matias himself, idleness filled with the monotonous spinning of metal utensils. "Could probably be better..."

"I"ll... consider it," Razz comments not feeling comfortable with it seeing as this felt like official business to be using first names for. For now he only takes a seat after Eris and takes a look around, trying to listen, see how well he could hear others. Wanting to know just how much people could hear them, especially since they were here with quite the public figure. [break][break]

Something catches his attention though as he looks back to them, "You two know each other?"

[attr="class","matias"]the beef finds a bowl in front of eris, followed by spoonfuls of soup and vegetables. he slides it closer to her, gesturing, before doing the same for razz.

"somewhat. we met in kanto and only met again at the tournament."

and again at mount chimney. it's a little coincidental, but he pays no mind to it.

"but you don't remember me, do you, eris?"

apprehension

Knowing each other feels like such a vague descriptor. If they were to speak in terms of acquaintanceship then yes, Eris and Matias know each other. But Matias has implied that they've met before and he only confirms what she'd thought at the tournament.
[break][break]
Somewhere, somehow, they had crossed paths in Kanto.
[break][break]
"I... don't. I can't remember much from that place either."
[break][break]
She feels so reluctant to have that name sit upon her tongue, her memories hazy whenever she so much as tries to scrape at the surface.
[break][break]
"Reiner might remember you, but he hasn't given me any indication that he does."
[break][break]
And maybe he doesn't want to, for the sake of her already fragile sanity. The bowl slid before her does nothing to coax her appetite, a clean spoon stuck in as she slowly stirs.
[break][break]
"I'm sorry."

Well this was getting no where fast. Though it wasn't like he was hearing much detailed conversations over the clinks and clanks of spoons and forks hitting plates. With the air around Eris clearly uncomfortable as it was, to him the best thing to do was to just skip any pleasantries and get straight to the point. It was why they were here. [break][break]

"Look as much as I like the atmosphere here," he didn't and he'd drink water after to recover the sting in his mouth, "We have important information," he lowers his voice a bit as he leans in being careful of the food, "Its about Melody Miro"

"it's fine, eris. i'd forget kanto, too, if i could."

that much isn't a lie.

the shift in topic isn't subtle but he accepts it all the same, turning to look at razz over the thin steam that floats between them.

Maybe he should've instructed Eris to not say she's seen Melody and just knows. As he doesn't entirely feel so much trust can be put in Matais just yet. "I would like to keep Eris' involvement as hush hush as possible if you don't mind," Razz makes sure to add. "After all she thinks you were the best person to go to, but if we can possibly Melody Miro out in the end doesn't matter much on who we go to"
