CERI GLYNN


SPEED DATE #3



THERE’S NO NEED TO MOVE this time around. the table for his third date just so happens to be the same as his second. fernando remains in his seat, observing the other attendees move in a clockwise formation.

so far, his expectations have been subverted.

, for what little they did share, proved contrary to what he expected from a participant. older, mature, and not caught up in the superficial nature of being paired with a complete stranger. it tickles a small satisfaction in him that leans into his second date.

, a completely different encounter, felt more akin to networking at a conference than speed dating. a seemingly level-headed scientist looking to make a name for himself is a story that fernando rarely disregards. the fact it’s under ’s umbrella only perks his interest further.

however, fernando remembers distinctively registering himself as open to women. half the value in attending such an event was to serve as both fan service and advertising rights by putting himself up as available.

to no surprise, his next date fits the description.

good evening,” he doesn’t bother to stand but he parade a thin zororark smile.

name’s silph. .

Two rounds, two dates on the opposite side of the spectrum, one of them having had the potential to ruin this whole affair for her. That thankfully hadn’t happened.
[break][break]
Resilient as ever and even pleased to have seen again, Ceri approaches the table where she’ll meet her third partner for this event, that bright smile of hers remaining at her lips even when she so very easily recognizes the man before her.
[break][break]
How couldn’t she, when he’s a councilman? And, more importantly, when he’s at the very top of a company known for its breakthrough technologies?
[break][break]
If she were someone else, she would fangirl.
[break][break]
Instead, his formality is met with a sweet smile and cheer as she takes a seat, every word being coated in a distinctively Galarian accent. ”Oh hi, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Ceri… Ceri Glynn.”
[break][break]
Introducing herself with her full name feels strange, for it’s not like it’s of particular relevance. Well, not this one, at least, but she’d rather not speak of that side of her family...
[break][break]
”Honestly, I’m a bit flabbergasted. I didn’t expect to get paired with someone like you.”
[break][break]
Admittance comes with a chuckle, her small Toxel taking it upon himself to climb up onto her lap.

“A PLEASURE, MISS GLYNN.”

fernando wades through formalities like tissue paper. they’re repeated, identical, and disposed of the moment they’re of no use. once they find a real talking point, the conversation can diverge from his cookie cutter opening.

oh,” a strum of curiosity peeks out from an otherwise flat tone. “and why is that?

She hadn’t expected him to be particularly shy, because in her experience, rich and successful people who involve themselves in the political sphere very rarely are, but the question still makes her tilt her head just so slightly. Isn’t it obvious?
[break][break]
”Good question! Uhmm…” An index finger rises to meet glossy lips as she seems to consider her answer. ”I guess it’s because we’re at very different standings? You’re the CEO of a corporation responsible for a lot of technological development, I’m just a grad student.”
[break][break]
A poor grad student, at that. One that had to join Team Rocket to pay for her education.
[break][break]
Still, it’s not like Ceri to diminish herself or her own achievements.
[break][break]
”The odds are rarely favourable for such things to happen, you know?”
[break][break]
There’s a playful wink, followed by a soft laugh, because even if the odds are not favourable, those things do happen indeed. After all, she’s here, sitting in front of .

“INDEED,” on the surface. “however, an event like this puts us all on equal footing. isn’t that the appeal? to dive into a crowd of strangers from all walks of life?

his smile fades as he leans in. he comes in closer, abandoning his stiff posture to slip her advice not meant for others.

and, depending on your field and success, there’s no reason this meeting doesn’t repeat itself after your graduation.

”Is that the appeal of it for you?” A question asked as that warm gaze of hers meets his, and although Ceri knows perhaps she should slip into a more formal tone with someone like him, hadn’t he just said this event puts them all on equal footing?
[break][break]
If he really meant it, he won’t mind this.
[break][break]
It’s then when he leans in, and if only so slightly, she leans in too – as if to hear a secret meant only for her ears.
[break][break]
”Oh? Maybe. That could be interesting... I’ll keep it in mind.”
[break][break]
Considering her own focus on Biotechnology, it would be fitting. Shame Team Rocket wouldn’t be very fond of that idea.
[break][break]
”Too bad it seems like we’re running out of time, Fernando.

“NOT QUITE.”

there’s no need to mince words when he holds all the power in their dynamic. for others, fernando’s influence is only in titles. what affect he has on their everyday lives is miniscule at best. but for a prospective student?

i was coerced into making an appearance,” he reveals, leaning back into his natural position. “a guest star, if you will.

she remind him to pay attention to the time and his frown is as noticeable as the ticking clock hand. “unfortunate then.” he shuffles his hands back underneath the table, flat across his legs.

it was a pleasure, miss glynn.

In the end, it is moot.
[break][break]
No matter what her interest in Silph Co. may be, that’s not a life meant for her. Whatever may be able to offer her, she can’t take her. belongs to Team Rocket.
[break][break]
In another life, things would be different, this is her life. She has debts that need to be paid and promises she made.
[break][break]
”I can’t imagine what sort of person would be able to coerce you.” Ceri chuckles then, genuinely amused at thought. But their time is indeed short, and the ding of a bell soon proves this to be true.
[break][break]
”Well… In any case, I hope you do end up enjoying yourself.” Her words come with a smile, standing up while holding her Toxel in her arms. ”See you around, Fernando.”

A BELL DINGS, announcing the curtain call for round one. Immediately, a shuffling of chairs and flustered movement can be heard. Awkward goodbyes accompany the brisk steps of Pokémon partners as they cascade across the polished flooring.

Before you leave your table, perhaps you'd like to take a sweet treat?
