She had dressed nicely for the occasion A satin dress with floral print, the blue hibiscuses contrasting her pink hair. It was rare after all that she got to have dinner with her father so she had to look her best. [break][break]

"Reservation for Lionel Miro?" she said approaching the hostess who had already sat her father. 'Right this way mam' [break][break]

She had followed behind the hostess where she eventually saw her dad and eagerly waved to her and rushed over, embracing him tightly. "Dad! How are you?!" she said excitedly, almost knocking him over with how fast she ran towards him.

It was always a nervewracking thing to be face-to-face with your loved ones. Lionel felt it to his bones of the aniticipation, and at the soame time, a passable amount of fear and excitement. He had not been vulnerable in a very long time, and Melody mostly like the only one who still knew of him. But what he feared was that she only knew what used to be him.

Was he still a father? Was he still a man? Did she still look up to him with the doe-eyed love of a child, when she now stood atop the world? Perhaps. Or maybe it was just him, fearing that the relationship would be changed, and part of him knew that it was because he was not there for her all the time. It was a Schrodinger's love, he desperately wanted to be back with his daughter, and at the same time, feared it. But he seated himself here, ten minutes earlier, scrolling through baby pictures all the same, wondering how much these last few years had changed his girl, for better or worse.

"Dad! How are you?!"

It was the bright voice of a girl, and it almost melted his heart to see him. Lionel smiled, genuinely, goofily, as he stood up from his seat and clutched his daughter in his arms. He buried his head into her hair and kissed her forehead. "I missed you sweetie." He replied, slowly relaxing his hug, before holding her shoulders and looking down towards her face. She was a woman grown, older, mature, her eyes stronger than she was at twenty and at sixteen. But still there was something else there that he couldn't pinpoint, but he didn't care at the moment, he just wanted to stay there for a little while longer. "Look at you dear." He said, "I can scarcely believe how much you've grown."

A scarcity he did not wish to repeat. He turned quickly to the waiter, "We'll have the set, whichever one the chef recommends." He replied, smiling, he did not wish to be disturbed with recommendations of wine or the choice of bread, or anything vapid that would cut away from spending time with his girl. "I saw you on the Wailord dear." He replied, smiling, though a hint of regret filled his eyes, "How was the festival, was it any good?"

She rushed into his arms, hugging him as tightly as she could. The smallest hint of fear that he'd leave again whispering in the back of her brain. [break][break]

When he looked into her eyes, the doe child was still there but her eyes were different. "I'm still your little girl though. I missed you Papi." she said pulling away but still keeping her hands on him, afraid if she let go he'd vanish again. [break][break]

But let go she did and he was still there, this was real. His speaking to the waitress brought her back to reality and she took her cue to sit down at the table and smiled as she decided to tell the waitress a wine for them to share. "Oh you did?" she said chuckling a little bit to herself. "I'm sure you had a heart attack. But I was safe the entire time, Noivern was on stand by ready to catch me if I slipped." she assured him. [break][break]

"I think everyone really enjoyed it." she said as the waitress brought over the wine she requested. "That was my only goal to be honest so I think it was a success." she grinned "And what about you? How has work been?"

Lionel squeezed Melody's shoulders, "Part of me will always think of you in that way." He replied, but he knew she needed to stretch her wings without his suffocating presence. Still, if it must be said, "But, if you're ever in need of a father, you can let me know dear." He paused, he knew with good reason that Melody held him tight, he wasn't as strong of an influence on her life as he should have been.

An absentee father, a warped pedestal.

"It was more that I couldn't be there in time for it." Lionel admitted. "But seeing you up there with all those faces with you, that was a very awakening experience for me." Lionel paused as she began to ask him about work. Strangely enough, he couldn't really put down a direct answer on how it was, "It's as usual sweetie, most days I wake up to the the sound of a call, sometimes I lay at bed trying to put out fires, but mostly it has been good. I think of it as--" A child. Lionel's eyes stared into his glass of wine, before turning back to Melody, smiling. "Well... sometimes, when you have so many people asking you for things, you forget to spend time with those you care for."

Lionel took his wine glass and raised it up, "But we're here now, so cheers honey, I'm going to spend more time with you from now on." As he sipped, he pulled a fast one on her.

"So, will I have any grandchildren soon?"

She cheers when he proposes a toast. Their glass clinking together as she took a sip of her wine, she got both of her parent's love for wine. [break][break]

She also unfortunately gained their work habits. [break][break]

She grimmaced for a moment, she knew what he wanted to say but he held back. She never blamed him for what had happen, he did what he had to do. She did miss him but she knew he left for their benefit. These thoughts were unpleasant, a migraine came in and... [break][break]

And then she was fine. Her smile returned suddenly and then it turned to a look of shock "PAPI!" She exclaimed, hushing herself ever so softly as to not disturb the other customers enjoying the establishment. "I-" she says as her face turns red "I don't have a boyfriend! You could have just asked that instead of kids!" she says covering her face with just the palm of her hand from the other customers. "Jeeeez." she says as the waiter returns with their appetizer of garlic bread sticks. She takes one and places it on her plate. "Work's too important right now for that kind of stuff." she says awkwardly as she was lying.

Lionel watched, just ever so slightly, the quick snap of emotion between her worries. Then... nothing. It was as if she had no recollection of the sadness as he spoke. That was odd, but nothing that concerning. It was just a one off thing, or a defense mechanism, perhaps. So he moved on.

There was something so immensely fun about making fun of one's own kids or making them feel embarrassment. As she suddenly yelled, Lionel snorted in response, "Sorry dear." He replied, placing a hand on his neck, "I see... does your partner have well manicured nails? I'm totally fine in meeting her, or them, or whoever." He gave an innocuous smile as the breadsticks came over. Lionel waited until the first in the course was served before picking a garlic stick up.

Lobster Bisque with red shrimp, someone knew his tastes. He broke a piece off, dipped it into the soup and chewed. Heavenly, food never tasted so good, though he mostly ate by a laptop and alone. No room for relationships though, he quirked a brow. "I can't believe that Hoenn's biggest pop star would not have any suitors." He smiled, but then again, he too was engrossed in his work, perhaps it ran in their blood. "Or perhaps you're just not settling for anyone in particular right now?"

The only thing redder than her wine was her face at the moment. [break][break]

of course he thought his daughter was the most beautiful girl in the world, that was the type of father he was. [break][break]

"I-uh. Iunno.." she says looking down at the table, there had been guys who had flirted with her. She was dense, not completely stupid. "None of them have asked me to go out with them or made the first move.." she tells him [break][break]

"But uh I think the prince of galar liked me at one point?" she said realizing she said it out loud and putting her hands on her forehead as she got visibly nervous. "I mean I do want one but I don- I don't know how to- Uhhh." she said panicking slightly as she was extremely flustered

Lionel paused as he listened, clearly this was something that was put onto a backburner and he had placed her on the spot. He decided to tone it down, just a tad. "Find someone that you'd like to spend time with?" He asked, finishing her sentence. Lionel didn't really think that she'd be absolutely without suitors, that was not the case at all, but perhaps picking someone that was able to reach a standard in her head.

"Take all the time you want Melody." He chuckled, "I would like to see tiny babies with pink hair someday, that would be very cute." That would be something worth building an empire for. Lionel sipped his wine, white, a pairing with lobster, relatively dry. It fostered memories best left forgotten, or perhaps it was this conversation?

"Perhaps looking for love is not something high on your priority either, and that is okay too." Lionel smiled towards her. He did not tell her however, that he was thinking of someone in particular. But he decided to drop the conversation here before the mood bittered for him. "So, aside from work, and love life, how have you been recently? I hope you're still managing to stay healthy, I can't imagine the amount of stress being put on you now that you're Elite Four and a global pop star."

The idea of love was something that always alluded her.[break][break]

She could define it, and she knew her father loved her and felt like her mother loved her too. But that was it, it was paternal. [break][break]

She always struggled relating to others and it was evident in this conversation with her father. The reason she loved music so much? Other people would feel more like her instead of the other way around. [break][break]

It was selfish. [break][break]

"I mean..it would be nice but.." she said scratching the back of her head as she wish this subject of conversation would die. "Who else could ever measure up to you papi?" she said trying to distract him. [break][break]

He moved on to ask about her becoming Elite 4. "Well it's strange, dahlia goode had asked me if I was interested in becoming Elite 4 since it seems like stormy stepped down? I'm not entirely sure since she wasn't exactly..forthcoming of what happen but..I cant imagine it's good." she explains. [break][break]

"Honestly? This is all still so surreal. I had been posting my youtube videos for years but no one really paid attention to them until I became a gym leader." she explains as a thought crossed her mind that refused to go away. "Have..have you told mom you're back in Hoenn?" she asked, the smallest bit of hope her parents would get back together still lingering.

There's a quietness to Lionel as he hears her speak, the tone of her voice was flustered. But it clearly did not make her feel comfortable. Teasing was fun, but too much, and he didn't want to press perhaps into a sore spot in her daughter's life. He nodded simply and said, "They are out there sweetie. Your old man's not the as infallible as you may think he is sweetie."

The dinner progresses apace, soup finishes, followed by an entree of Impossible Slowpoke Tail. Lionel listens, nodding as Melody summarizes the events which collectively pulled her into stardom. "Because you're the most qualified for the job honey." Lionel replies, "You're a remarkable trainer. if you choose, you will become Champion one day. It's just a matter of patience." There is absolution in his voice, as if there was nothing that made him more confident in the statement. He had seen her battles, he had watched her fights against Matias Silph as well.

Lionel paused as she continues. "I see..." A smile forms on his face, "Perhaps it will always be like that, perhaps it'll fade. I think the public eye is often like that: Shallow out of necessity, not out of spite." A mantra he repeats to himself. "How do you feel about that?"

Ah, Del.

"No... not yet." A smile forms on his face, though its mainly to mask what he feels. "Some things are best left buried dear. Seeing her again would bring back memories of pain, joy too, but mostly pain. For both of us." He cleared his throat, sipping the wine as he stared into the glass, before back to Melody. "Did you want us to meet again?"

Champion huh? [break][break]

She did covet the position. She'd have a lot more authority in the league than she already did, but..that means something would have to happen to kyle lopez and she'd rather not since she regarded him as a really close friend. [break][break]

"I'd have to be able to beat Kyle and he's a tough cookie to compare to." she says acknowledging his skill. [break][break]

The conversation shifts over to the subject of her mother, @madeleine. "Uh, not unless you wanted to. I was just curious since I know you guys aren't on the..best of terms. I should say." she says as she awkwardly twiddled her thumbs. [break][break]

"But seeing as how she's still managing me, avoiding her wont work for very long. You know how she is." [break][break]

Controlling [break][break]

She was still the same madeleine.

Speaking of Madeleine left a rather bitter taste in his mouth. But he did not wish to change anything about the relationships between Melody and her mother, irrespective of how toxic it was. She was her own adult and should make her decisions on who to keep in her life.

"I know dear." He replied, his voice rather darkened by the subject matter. "It's just not something that is comfortable to me. I still have feelings for her, but I also remember how vividly unhappy the situation was. For my own good, and hers, it's best if we stay apart as much as possible."

Lionel sipped his wine, finishing the glass as he called for another to be poured. "Well honey, I'd ask you this question instead, why do you want to become Champion?"
