it was a quiet evening in mauville as kim, dressed in a sharp suit, made his way through the streets of mauville, the one escorted this evening, cait alfric, walking with him.

his plans for their date had been delayed once he got word of the progress she had made with the city. it had completely slipped his mind that she had taken the reigns as leader of the cities gym, and with this knowledge regained he wanted to see all she had accomplished with her time spent as spokesperson for mauville.

he was quite impressed that this girl, once only a cadet, had made strides so wide in such a short amount of time. he thought much more of her with every new thing she had introduced him to during the impromptu tour.

by the time they had finished, the sun had started to set, and the moon began to come in full bloom. the lavender haired man would bit his lip slightly as he noticed the lighting began to dim, looking to cait with an expression of regret, rubbing the bridge of his nose as he realized the time.

“sorry caity, i didn’t mean to waste up all our time sightseeing, i wanted to take you out somewhere nice, maybe get something to eat, but it looks like we wasted all our time.”

a brief pause would leave him a moment to think, quickly speaking his mind after eyebrows raised in excitement.

“how about we go somewhere you want to instead? i made you show me all your new additions so it’s only fair you drag me around in return. how about it?”

"hm?"

aimless wanderings and conversation had filled the hours that followed councilman cole's arrival. she had sought to impress for the duration of their encounter, and their discussion had offered her the opportunity to do so with ease. it made for a pleasant surprise that he was so eager to partake in her company - the woman having only ever previously encountered the man a handful of times. not once had cait expected that the fellow would be at all interested in her progression in the ranks nor her newly acquired position.

'caity'

she tittered softly in response to the name, her expression having lit up to a noticeable degree.

'how informal.'

a pleased little smile took shape as she pondered over her response.

"i'm not really craving anything fancy, at the moment."

either could foot the bill at any restaurant in the city. and she was absolutely certain that they'd be escorted to the very front of the line when it came to securing a table for themselves. but she didn't feel the need to 'wine and dine' at the moment, and decided to suggest something far more simple in comparison.

"there's a family run cafe on the lower floors here," she informed. "a bit pricey but their ingredients are top notch."

she seemed to have liked the nickname, something unassumed by kim as well as his writer.

though the unoriginality of said nickname was one that bothered him. the only thing he did was add a y to the end of her name, and this was unacceptable on his part. something more suitable would pop up eventually, but in the meantime he’d test his bounds with a few more prodding nicknames said jokingly.

“caitykins, i’m a man of quality over quantity, so if you suggest a top notch local business, i’m inclined to take you up on that offer without a second guess.”

he would extend an invitation for her to take his arm as they walked to the location, thinking them seen together would spur more viewers but less ingagers.

whether or not she accepted the invitation it was up to her to navigate them to said shop.

the use of the nickname 'catykins' very nearly caused the young woman to unravel. she stifled her laughter, though her smile was almost painfully wide as she accepted his offered arm.

"r-right."

she began to lead him toward the elevator that would grant them access to the lower floors. it was a trip spent mostly in silence, though cait would occasionally point out a business or two that she'd frequent.

"i never imagined i'd live in a place like this," she said. "i doubt i'd have been able to scrounge up enough for rent if i tried to move into mauville by my lonesome."

cait tapped at the elevator button and the doors slid shut behind them.

her stifled laughter welcomed a chuckle from him, upturned lips curling up more so as she took the invitation.

with each opportunity she presented with starry eyes, he would listen, intent on hearing every piece of commentary she had on the subject in question.

when they had reached the elevator, her words caught him slightly off guard, their belittling context, forcing his smile to dissipate.

“i knew you had it in you…”

the doors would close and kim would continue.

“when i first met you, i didn’t think much of you. you had bags under your eyes, your hair looked bad and you were a nervous mess. but by the time we parted, i figured you’d make something of yourself; i saw potential in you. and to have come this far without the help of others...”

he’d pause, chuckling to look at her, amber eyes locking with her green hues for before he spoke, a radiant smile rooting on his face as he did.

“i’m very proud of you cait.”

cait blinked owlishly at the handsome fellow, her face growing hot before she dipped her head.

"oh - i - "

while she was somewhat use to receiving praise, she hadn't at all expected councilman cole's choice of words nor the brilliant smile he currently wore.

"t-thank you, sir," she murmured. "i'm very much thankful that the council trusted me to take on such a sought after position."

ultimately, her application had been reviewed and accepted - with the majority of those seated having voted in her favor.

"i hope i live up to your expectations."

the doors of their elevator slid open, and the freckle-faced woman maintained her grip on his arm as she led him toward the cafe.

"with how many people there are here," she commented, shifting her gaze toward the local foot traffic. "someone's bound to assume we're out on a date date."

the bridge of his nose ruffled as he gave one last chuckle

“just call me kim, kaitykat, i much prefer that than sir.”

his head would turn to look towards the door as they slowly shifted downwards.

“and don’t live up to my expectations, live up to the people’s. your citizens are the ones that really matter.”

once the doors opened and the began their walk, kim would glance down at his partner, her worries on something as fickle as chatter.

he’d giggle, pulling her a little closer as he looked forward.

“and here i thought this was one.”

a joke on his part as he continued forward, giving waves to those that eyed the two with his idle hand as he passed by.

she laughed in response to his jest.

"you're too much, councilman kim," she replied, teasingly.

the cafe was only a little busy, which allowed for the pair to easily secure a seat for themselves. they'd order their drinks prior to doing so, cait having decided upon a simple vanilla latte for herself. the woman wasn't over fond of consuming caffeine in its purer form, finding the taste to border on unbearable.

"how have things been at headquarters lately?"

cait only ever really visited the building for business purposes.

"i imagine it gets a bit boring after a while. paperwork - politics - you know what i mean."

already curved lips would reel up moreso, his eyes squinting as he looked down to the girl.

she knew well that wasn’t he meant but made a retort to his own in a way he was almost surprised by.

they were seated as quickly as they arrived, a table unoccupied greeting the two. his order was tea, to which after arriving he would promptly apply copious amounts a of sugar to, the packets emptying as he spoke.

“you’d likely do better asking another councilmember than me, i’ve barely been there. and as for the times when i am, i haven’t had an opportunity to exchange pleasantries by the water cooler.

around seven now empty packets sat neatly in a stack as kim idly stirred the mixture with a small straw once held within the holder between them.

“we have a new councilmember and i’m not sure if she’s handling all the work well or not, i only hope FERNANDO SILPH doesn’t put any weird ideas into her head before i can properly talk to her. he can be pretty intense.”

he’d finish stirring only to take a sip of the brew, his body shivering in delight as he lowered the cup. it was perfect.

but he couldn’t help but wonder how her own drink tasted, his interest now averting to her glass as he offered over his own.

“let me taste yours, you can try mine too if you want.”

she surrendered her drink after having taken a few sips from it. its taste was familiar, the girl having ordered it multiple times over since moving into the city of mauville.

"here you go."

cait offered the tea a curious little sniff once it was within her grasp, very much thankful for the man's willingness to dump a copious amount of sugar into the mixture.

'i think he loves sweet drinks as much as i do.'

she took a tentative sip to gauge both its flavor and its heat - and found that it was indeed perfect.

"this is good," se remarked, face splitting into a wide grin. "i'll need to order it for myself sometime."

and as the night continued on, cait would politely inquire about the freshly seated council member, genuinely intrigued and eager to learn as much as she possibly could about the woman.

'perhaps i'll meet her one day.'

it wouldn't hurt to familiarize herself with another member of the council, especially since currying their favor could potentially lead to a better chance of her proposals being approved.

"hm."

she took another sip of kim's tea, refusing to return the drink to its original owner.

'this is really good.'
