It’s a long way back to Sootopolis City from Oldale Town, and even if a TELEPORT makes the journey all the more expedite, nighttime has already overtaken the skies by the time they make it back to Rocket-controlled territory.
[break][break]
Thankfully, nightlife seems to be of preference among the members of the criminal organisation, and it should come as no surprise that the doors of more than one bar are open to customers even during the busy holidays.
[break][break]
”What’s your poison?”
[break][break]
Surely ’s taste in such things has changed since they were teenagers, no? Mars himself goes for a glass of Scotch, on the rocks, because while he generally would prefer good gin, this bar is not the type of place to have those of a quality that meets the high standards of the banker.
[break][break]
”Great work earlier, by the way. I’m kind of impressed.”
[break][break]
Is he really?
[break][break]
Maybe, but the words come with a smirk that makes it all too hard to tell.

"Whiskey."

Upon being given the glass of relief, Felix immediately brought it to his lips, taking a heavy sip. The image itself was a stark contrast to his high school self. Before, even the scent of alcohol would send him vomiting. Now? It'd take a few glasses at least to see some results.

The sly smirk was met with a look of cynicism. If there was one thing Felix was certain about: Mars hadn't grown out of bullshitting people. Still, it was hard to deny the small lick of warmth that came with talking to an old friend. Shoulders relaxing, a soft puff of air shot from the man's nostrils, and his lip twitched into a half-smile. "Keep complimenting me and I'll take this as a date."

Not a bad choice.
[break][break]
While there may not usually be any ill-intent behind it, Mars will always be the sort of person who harshly judges others. Not on things they can’t control, but on those they can: the way they act, the way they talk, how they dress, what they like – the choices they make. He pays attention to every detail, even while drinking with an old friend.
[break][break]
Felix’s choice to tease him? Unexpected, but not one he disapproves of in the slightest.
[break][break]
Maybe he had just needed some time to come out of his shell and shrug off the initial awkwardness of seeing each other after it’s been so long…
[break][break]
”Ha! Would you like it to be a date, Felix?” A gaze of a warm honey-like shade falls upon the freshly-minted Rocket grunt, staring at him for a moment while smirking just as he had a moment ago. It’s not a professional comment, nor the way a superior should act, but the mission is over and they’re here to celebrate, aren’t they?
[break][break]
Friends grabbing a drink together.
[break][break]
”Schmoozing up to an admin is not very professional, you know?”
[break][break]
Two can play this game, of course.

The half-smile grew at the other's words, curving the other side of his lip a touch upward. So this was what his victims went through, huh? No wonder they all fell for this bastard.

"Neither is entertaining it."

His tone was light - teasing, almost. Bringing his glass to his lips, Felix drew a slow sip of the sharp liquid before glancing back at the admin.

For a moment, the image of his former friend flashed in his mind. It was growing increasingly hard to believe that this was the same dumbass flirt he used to play football with years ago. was, of course, the exact same, but still.

"I'll keep quiet if you play me Wonderwall, though."

Mars is far from the person he once was. Back then, when they were teenagers, he could do all these things and truly find joy in them; face all his demons with a smile and wield his happiness as if his greatest weapon. These days, that enjoyment has dwindled, and it all serves as no more than temporary distractions – ways to push himself to ignore all of the things that threaten to take away what little remains of the happiness for which he once fought.
[break][break]
But, that’s all beneath the surface, of course, for Mars has always been too damn good at hiding his true emotions from the world.
[break][break]
Even now, he chuckles at Felix’s words, a brow being quirked just as he takes a sip from his glass.
[break][break]
”Sure, I’ll play it for you, but is that you suggesting we should go back to my place? Unless you can pull a guitar out of thin air, that is. Very bold, Felix.
[break][break]
It’s all too easy to tease, to pretend, to ignore, and yet their circumstances are still far too ever-present and obvious: one of Team Rocket’s admins and a grunt, having drinks at a bar in Sootopolis City.
[break][break]
”How do you like it, by the way?”
[break][break]
He gestures vaguely to their surroundings, but does he mean the bar, Sootopolis, or Team Rocket?

Felix chuckled in response. He would never admit it, but it felt nice to cut loose for once and enjoy an old friend's company. Unfortunately, he was well aware of how rare and fleeting these moments were. It's not like he had much time for them anyways - not with the piling level of work back at ANVIL HQ. ANVIL's cooperation with Rocket only further added to his workload.

His eyes dulled at Mars' question. These hidden meaning bullshit questions were always a drag to answer. Still, he relented to the other's interrogation efforts. "It's what I expected it to be." A shrug came with Felix's response. Whether he was referring to the bar, the mission, Sootopolis, or Team Rocket - his answer wouldn't change. None offered any surprises or merit to look forward to, and so, they were effectively the same.

A chuckle.
[break][break]
When they had been out there, taking care of their mission, Mars had almost wondered if Felix was even capable of things like those anymore; if the circumstances of life had made him into some soulless robot who was incapable of feeling any joy.
[break][break]
So, truly, hearing him chuckle is nice, even if it’s a faint sound that fades away into a bland response and a shrug.
[break][break]
At this, Mars inevitably sighs.
[break][break]
”Is it? It’s nothing like the way things are at Sinnoh.”
[break][break]
It's ironic really, how the syndicate had always been much more ruthless with him despite his position as heir of the Marzán family – it had forged him into who he is at a terrible cost. But, there’s no need to elaborate on that or explain to Felix why he's here, so he takes another sip of his drink, allowing the statement to linger between them.
[break][break]
”What’s ANVIL like?”

Sinnoh.

Their home: a place they should be yearning to return to; a place that should spark fond memories worth smiling at. But instead, its sound only trudged up a bitter taste in his mouth. It always reminded him how much he missed the carefree days they had spent together-- back when football and crushes were their biggest concern. But, even those days were growing overshadowed by the region's current state of affairs.

Felix's motioned to the bartender for another glass, noting the disappointing state his current glass was in. "It's..." How should he describe it? How does he even feel towards the company? Towards ? Carved lips deepened into a contemplative frown -- he always hated this. Putting feelings into words...it felt beyond his reach. "like anywhere else. Pay is good, though."

Relief returned to his glass in time for Felix to steal another sip. One last gulp to shoo away needless thoughts. "But work is work."

Pay is good.
[break][break]
Work is work.

[break][break]
What kind of description is that? It’s not what Mars had asked for, so he can only assume Felix either doesn’t trust him enough to tell him what he thinks of ANVIL and , or he doesn’t want to think about it too much. Does he not like being in that position? Why did he choose to do all of this to begin with? For August, is what he had said, but how true is it?
[break][break]
”Hmm… Work is work, huh?” He repeats Felix’s words, his own expression a mask of perfect impassiveness as he watches the remnants of golden liquid in his glass – slowly swirling it around.
[break][break]
”And if you had to choose between them and Rocket?”
[break][break]
Mars looks at Felix then, once again leaving it up to him to decide exactly what the question means.

His glass went back down along with his emotions. No amount of want, or desire, could bring them back to those memories they shared. Mars' question only reaffirmed this fact of nature. Hell, even celebratory shared drinks held business undertones now. Felix couldn't blame him for asking the question, though. Ever since their eyes first met, the two held the same level of distrust in one another. The only difference was that his was bundled in a blanket of despondency.

The ANVIL employee met the admin's gaze with the same pair of steady eyes he has always held. "Them." Cold, distant, he gave an answer without hesitance. His right hand then snaked back around his glass and lifted it high enough to offer Mars a small cheer. "As it stands, they've done more for me than Rocket. "

There is no surprise when hearing Felix’s response – no shock or offence. Mars simply stares at him, refraining from ordering another drink just yet so that their conversation won’t be interrupted by the unwanted presence of a server.
[break][break]
”So, it’s purely transactional, then?” It’s not so much him asking for confirmation as much it is him putting the strings of this story together. After all, placing his blind trust in ANVIL could be dangerous, not just for him but also for Team Rocket. ”Good. They’re not the sort of people you just trust… Nor is Rocket, for that matter.”
[break][break]
Is that the sort of thing an admin should be saying?
[break][break]
Probably not, but it may just be some advice in honour of the friendship they once shared…
[break][break]
”I don’t expect you to be a loyalist who’s all for Rocket’s cause the moment you join. I’m not even like that myself.” It’s only then when he taps his glass to ask for a refill, yet his gaze remains fixed on his former friend. ”But, I hope you know not to do anything stupid, Felix... Rocket will expect loyalty and I won’t be there to protect you if you betray their trust. You have to be smart about all this.”
[break][break]
For his sake, and for that of the people who matter to him.
[break][break]
Is that just advice or is it concern on Mars’ part?

The admin's assertions were, more or less, on the nose. While they were some fray strings that kept him from completely voiding out all emotions from the equation, for the most part, he saw the two organizations through the same practical lanes. The only difference between them? How much they've contributed to his current life.

From the moment Mars started to when he finished, their locked eye contact never broke. Despite how to misplace this advice might've been, Felix felt obligated to at least listen to its entirety without interruptions or objections. It was the least he could do, considering their circumstances.

"You worry too much," He finally breathed out, "...I don't have the luxury of being reckless."

Thankfully, none of this mattered right now. ANVIL and Rocket were in cooperation with one another, and there weren't any indications that their partnership would fall anytime soon. There was still time to think, see things play out, and pick sides.

It has to be said. Because of who is. Because of who they are. Because Mars doesn’t do well with just drawing lines in the sand; they have to clear, unmistakable, etched upon their very souls if necessary.
[break][break]
It’s what he has had to do to survive this life.
[break][break]
”Worrying is part of my job, Felix.”
[break][break]
The job of a Rocket admin.
[break][break]
And yet… Why is it that a slight yet playful smirk tugs at his lips?
[break][break]
His glass is raised as in a silent toast, and his next words are also advice Felix will know how to heed:
[break][break]
”Hope you make the right choice if the time ever comes… Rocket’s resources are nearly endless, but they will only ever give as much as they receive. Don’t forget that.”
[break][break]
Mars would know; he had joined Rocket because he needed their resources, and for them had paid the cost.
[break][break]
He’s still paying that cost.

Words are flimsy, mistakable things. Compared to the hard truths of action, they are ultimately worthless in the grand scheme if it all. That's why, no matter how reliable the admin sounded, Felix could only silently raise his glass, clinging its outer rim against his.

Because, at the end of the day, his situation wasn't too far from Mars': stuck paying the cost for the decisions they've made a long, long time ago. Unfortunately, escaping said consequences was much easier said than done.

But there was no turning back the clock. So, with a matching smirk, Felix downed the rest of his drink before offering one last joke to ease the mood. "If we keep talking about work, I'm going to need a few more of these."
