The cool night air in contrast with the hot spring water was invigorating, refreshing. It rejuvenates aching muscles and tired bones. Lex hasn’t relaxed like this in quite some time. Although she enjoys the peaceful night melody, the experience isn’t broken by the sound of a familiar voice.

Lids peel open to cast a look towards the royal as he descends into the pool. A small smile even creeps across red lips, “Remiel,” she sings, adjusting slightly to sit up straighter, “No, just me this time,” she assures him.

Sootopolis. The reminder of the raid on the city brings a pang of guilt with it. She should have been there, not off doing mindless, unimportant things. Not that long ago the thief would have been happy to be involved. A lot has changed since then. Lex belonged beside Killian Decker, fighting with Rocket, not hidden behind it in its shadow where she once liked to remain.

“Yes, it has,” she agrees, letting a pleasant smile cross her face instead of bitter, “I’ve been fine – busy. How have you been?”

A sharp exhale stifles her chuckle. Of course he’s busy. Why wouldn’t he be? E holds far many more titles than Lex’s humble “thief”. She shifts in the ledge beneath the water, turning slightly to face the royal.

His question pulls the stifled laugh forward, accentuated by a mischievous grin. It’s rare she talked about such things in the open like this. Being one of the higher ups in Rocket, he’s privy to her skills, “Have you read the latest HNN article?” she referring to the one about the break in at the Mossdeep Space Center.

Lex has no idea who that is but she assumes it’s a compliment gauging by his reaction to the news. So she smiles, sinking a bit deeper into the water, closing her eyes. She should have asked for extra compensation . . . but it wasn’t Walsh that asked her to do it.

“I just do as I’m told, Remiel. And I don’t as questions,” therefore, her knowledge on the subject is quite superficial. She did her part of the job. She stole it because Killian asked her to, and that was enough for her.

Remiel had certainly piqued her interest. Though she is incredibly intrigued, it’s a casual glance the shifts towards the admin. A brow raises slightly, especially at the mention of ‘good money’. And a favor from someone in Remiel’s position is a useful tool. Perhaps even more sueful than the money. She shifts to face him, a small grin tugging at the corner of her red lips, “I’m listening,” Very intently.

December? Lex sinks into thought, silent for a moment while she contemplates what she’s up to in December. It’s quite a ways away, and typically she didn’t plan that far ahead. As of right now, nothing big stuck out in her memory. With a sift tilt of her head shrugs her shoulders, “I don’t have anything big going on in December, I’m sure I can spare a few days for travel,” Surely Killain wouldn’t bitch about it. Of course, that depends on where they are traveling too, “Where would we go?” Not Johto she hopes. Although, with Kaito in Hoenn, Johto isn’t as dangerous anymore.

Her lips curls into a satisfied smile at the mention of a palace. Sounded like a wonderful place to rob. Lex sinks lower, letting the bubbles of the sauna tickle her lips as her red hair spread out on the surface behind her, “I’ve never been to Galar,” she muses out loud, tilting her head up to allow herself to speak.

“I assume you know this palace well?” the artifacts didn’t interest her, but they would probably interest Killian Decker. As long as she was paid fairly and got a say in planning the operation (so it didn’t go to shit), she’d be content with the assignment.
