"That's up to you, honey." Del sat atop her resting Altaria, legs crossed and focused on her nails.

Arceus, they needed a fresh coat of color. Maybe she'd go with a darker shade this time. Something to match how she'd been feeling lately. A deep red perhaps?

She glanced up, "I won't be helping to capture them. Best to think of me as a cheerleader." red lips spread, a smile lacking emotion on display.

"Go team." the worst cheerleader in the world.

A casual wave of her hand dismissed the man from her presence.

"Now hurry up so I can leave."

"you can leave if you want" Reyes states, though his voice was void of insult or anger "I'll tell them to pay you" because he guessed; she was only here to get money "also" he adds, noticing "I would try a color called Chocolate Cosmos" regarding her nails "it is a classy yet violent red."

the man moves from his position and pulled out two Pokeballs from his waist. his Charizard and Zangoose were revealed soon enough. he ordered them to attack the Pikachu. Zangoose was faster, aiming a Crush Claw at the nearest mouse. the swarm of them immediately descended on the two Rocket Pokemon at the Pikachu's cry. Reyes did not give orders.

if they could not survive on their own - the Pokemon were useless to him.

2/5

She scoffed, "Unfortunately, I can't trust you to do that." frankly, Del couldn't trust anyone in this organization. They were all liars and cheats, masquerading as noblemen. But they were useful and that's what mattered in the long-run.

The color suggestion brought her eyes up from her nails. A finely trimmed eyebrow arched. "What could you possibly know about nail polish?" the critical gaze reserved for Melody Miro fell upon him. He didn't look the type to be into something so feminine.

he shrugs in response.

at least, the first jabbed remark. the second? Reyes' eyes linger over the fighting Pokémon before he answers. "I've paid a fair share of manicures for women" but it was not a brag "take the suggestion or not; you don't need me to tell you that you'd look 'ravishing' with the color."

but there was also another few reasons he knew the colors. one was simple; he liked the color red. learning the different hues was fascinating. he had a passing interest in art. paint had all very different color names. "and you are a classy but violent woman; am I wrong?" why wouldn't he suggest it?

3/5

"Have you now?" what a hashtag subtle brag. Madeleine lowered her arms, resting them on her thighs. She shifted on her cotton throne. The Pokemon beneath her rustled uncomfortable but Del paid it little mind.

"It's awful tacky and rude to make assumptions about others, honey." not that he was wrong. One could have used both words to describe Madeleine, amongst a long list of others.

"Look out." she warned dryly as a Pikachu Volt Tackled toward him.
