"Okay." he replied dryly. Took everything Xander had to keep the edge from his voice. Hoping to make it easier, he steered the subject away from the rock. "There's something else." Teeth sank into the inside of his cheek. Seeking to quell a sudden bout of nerves to no avail. [break][break]

He pushed off the wall and sat down on the nearby recliner. Still didn't help him relax any. "I've given it a lot of thought recently, and I'm going to apply to be a gym leader." Anxiety ate away on the inside, but he can't afford to let it show, not to do his dad. Idris would tear it apart put doubt where none had been. [break][break]

"Rescuing Professor Creighton gave me some notoriety, but if you also gave your endorsement...."

idris pulls a kerchief from his back pocket and wraps the stone around it. better to keep it somewhat safe while he transports it back home. he misses the sanctity of his research center back in celestic; all of his tools, his assistants, and his resources had been gathered in one place. sure, he could schedule a trip back, but that's nonsensical. 

would have a cow to know he'd wasted time merely because he'd experienced a bout of homesickness. 

he looks up when his hands are empty and regards his son. and then he takes an exaggerated gesture towards the rest of the room. his frown is apparent, his annoyance plain in his eyes. 

he reaches for draxon's pokeball, a weathered thing, scratched and scorched from years of use on expeditions. xander's never been fond of the beast within. 

"have you made any efforts since rescuing creighton to preserve the notoriety that came from the incident? or did you cower away, shut yourself out of the world and let it pass you by?" he already knows the answer. he stands. 

"i won't publicly endorse your tie to the belmont name, to my name, unless you give me good reason to do so.

"if you can fell both draxon and petra, and impress me in battle, then perhaps we can further this discussion. and for arceus' sake, have some pride and stop living in squalor."

Xander ground his teeth, brow furrowing to a scowl at the nerve. Of course, he'd do this. "Why do you always make everything so fucking difficult?" He didn't need an answer. It would be bullshit, anyway. Nothing but hurtful words masquerading as fatherly wisdom or advice, the same crap Idris constantly spat. [break][break]

"Not investigating a rock doesn't mean I cowered. I was helping people, helping Pokemon, dad. I died rescuing a kid." He hadn't said it aloud until now. Anger brought the truth to the surface yet dulled its edge enough not to cut. [break][break]

My name. Said as if it belonged to Idris and Idris alone. It ignored that Xander was his son and held just as much right to it as he did. That made the way it stung so much worse.[break][break]

Asking for his father's help had been a mistake. He could get the gym leader position without him. But taking the words back now felt like proving his father right. Xander couldn't do that. [break][break]

"Then let's go outside. I'll beat you and your dusty old dragons into the ground." He spoke with a fire that had been absent their entire conversation. Fueled by rage, it burnt anxiety to a crisp and gave emotion to his dry tone.

xander still stands where he does not and yet idris can sense it from him, how small his son feels in his father's presence. and as though to reinforce this, idris finally gets to his feet. he smooths out his rumpled overcoat, straightens his tie. 

helping people, helping pokemon. ah, the charade of the hero - a journey for pompous fools who live for spotlight. his degrading thoughts falter, however, when xander's heat brings forth truth from his mouth. idris' gaze flickers, chest tightening, and he swallows the emotion (literally and figuratively). 

he'll do his own research, in his own time, on just what his son was talking about. had he really been so detached he'd missed something like that?

idris sighs. he pockets draxon's pokeball once again and reaffixes the buttons on his coat.

"outside of your apartment complex is no place for a battle like ours. no, we'll sort this before our research begins in earnest."

he steps over another pile of books and turns toward the door.

Xander stared long and hard. From what he's heard and read about Slateport, it's taken worse damage than a battle between him and his dad could make. But Idris has a point. Hateful as that is to admit for the second time today. [break][break]

His neighbors wouldn't be happy about property damage.[break][break]

like a toddler, demanding answers that will hold no meaning, asking for possibilities when there is only one truth. idris checks his watch. this visit has run longer than the time he'd allotted. he'll have to reschedule a couple of things to keep everything on track. 

he doesn't even bother looking over his shoulder as he reaches for the door. 

"me? i'm going to work. my assistant will get in touch about that battle." and with that, he steps outside the door, tension still in the way he holds himself, chest held high. he closes it behind him and raises his phone, burying himself in his work while xander's last few words ring in his ear.
