A call to the jayden cross’s company headquarters on a Sunday was certainly unexpected. It’s the last thing she really wanted to do. What on earth could she offer the admin, anyway? Maybe he needed something stolen. That she could help with.

The announcement of the more inclusive M.A.G.M.A initiative didn’t escape her. Lex still had her reservations about the whole thing. Instilling power into humans was not natural. In her humble opinion, it just asked for trouble. Even though Killian Decker seemed better, perhaps even healthier, now with Deoxys that didn’t mean he would remain that way if the legendary left him.

Parasite or symbiont? Lex had yet to figure that out.

“Thank you,” she offers Jayden a brief smile as her amber eyes drift over her surroundings, “What can I do for you?” there’s no sense in dancing around with formalities. Waste of time.

This is what separated Lex from the admins – social skills and politics. Where as the beast would rather get to the point and get the job done, Jayden saw no need to rush. A conversation was warranted, sure, but the details of that conversation didn’t interest Lex. There were other things she could be doing, and it irritated her being far from home or Killian Decker, especially with everything going on.

Still, she would entertain the admin. Lex offers Jayden a wordless nod as she steps past him and into the building. As they walk she inspects it, taking in the partially unfinished parts. It’s a new toy, and nice too. No wonder he wants to show it off.

“Hm, didn’t peg you for a pharma guy,” she leans against the receptionist desk, flicking the name plate he just readjusted so a metallic cling briefly resonated, “So, what? Need me to sabotage the competition or something?”

No, that’s not why she’s here. Her brows crease in curiosity as he continues to lead her down a hallway towards an unknown destination. Disturbing flashbacks of when Cillian Quinn led her to a room for interrogation resurface. The knot in her chest tightens and a cold glare burns into back of Jayden’s neck, she doesn’t trust him.

“Yes,” it’s a short answer, offering him only what she feels the conversation is worth.

Lex can’t help but let a smile creep across her red lips. The fact he thought she put thought into what kind of a man he was apparently amused her.

“Haven’t thought about it,” she shrugs her shoulders, slipping her hands into the pockets of her leather jacket. Despite having not thought about, she knew a pharma-boy wasn’t it. Of course, Mars is a CEO and Killian a Casino owner so, you know, anything is possible.

What could she accomplish?

If she had any motivation, she might be able to accomplish great things. Too bad she’s content with where she’s at.

He brows crease in the slightest at the mention of War, “Depends,” Of course she does, she infamous of riding him through the Phantom Plane, “What’re you gonna do with him?”

“Just a sample, hm?” she repeats with caution as her amber gaze moves towards the medical supplies Jayden had presented as if to prove his point. With just those tool on hand, Lex doubted he could do any real damage to the mythical beast.

“Fine, but I don’t take responsibility for any injuries that may occur,” After all, the stallion wasn’t entirely tame. They simply shared a mutual respect.

A sphere expands in her hand and a beam of light releases the shiny Spectier. Phantom hooves move silently against the sterile floor as it steps forward. It’s nose twitches at the strong disinfectant and War lets his distaste be known with a strong snort.

“Be my guest, I doubt I have the skills to acquire whatever it is you need,” Lex steps towards the horse’s head, letting it rest it’s snout in the crook of her arm. Her other hand reaches up to sooth the pokemon with finger running through its crimson mane.

The equine was used to being beat senseless by pokemon. The small prick of the needle barely bothered him. Even though it was nothing but a pinch, the horse STOMPED the tile floor with a loud CRACK. Lex’s hold on the pokemon’s head tightened slightly, “Shhhh,” she soothed, stroking his neck as Jayden finished collecting his samples.

“Wonderful,” As soon as she steps away, she returns the Spectier to its pokeball, “Will that be all?”

jayden confirms that they are done. Lex continues to do her best to avoid bonding with anyone in rocket. Mostly because she doesn’t trust them. Killian is the only one she will ever really trust. And he loyalty remains to him, and by association, Rocket. What benefits the organization, benefits him. That didn’t require her to socialize with others, though it would probably be in her best interest.

“Thanks, but I have another engagement,” she doesn’t elaborate on it before she turns to leave, “Maybe next time,” she promises the admin.
