[attr="class","illeana i"]late hours prompt impulsivity, that much she understands.

it's why she's here in familiar halls, looking more like a ghost than personnel. her steps are slow, soft, drawn out.

the slower she gets to his office... the better.

somewhere between the fifth door passed and the tenth, she notices a faint anxiety creeping into the bones. it lingers, persists, clings. and despite herself, she knows it has foundation.

tension still exists, even with an answered text to meet.

and after the hospital, after rustboro, confusion has long since joined to make one messy situation.

her knuckles knock against the closed door in the same rhythm of an echoed statement. i couldn't take that chance. it's tucked close between sentiments and actions, simmering on the stove in an odd concoction. how long can it be ignored?

"councilman?"

not long enough, perhaps.

“IT’S OPEN.” which is a distinct difference from his usual ‘come in’. there’s no usher to bring her forward. the choice is pointedly in her court. the time for babying others and working around their faults to come to an end. they are out of time.

fernando can’t be bothered.

inside his office, he holds the same sight as always. he’s at full mast, helmed behind his extended standing desk, reading the text that bleeds from the backlight of his screen. his good eye shines despite the monitor’s fuzzy glow.

he persists as he always has.

[attr="class","illeana i"]she enters quietly, awkwardly, almost without a sound.

he's as impressive as always, buried in mountains of work and ushering everything into completion with an otherworldly quickness.

she observes him for a moment. tracing the lines of his face, the shadows that computer light paint across structure... as if she can find an essence of exhaustion where there is none.

"hi."

nice, good job.

she lingers halfway between the door and his station, fingers fiddling in front of her hips because she wouldn't know what to do with them otherwise.

"is this a bad time?"

not since he answered her text, surely, but she asks anyway to break silence. she can't quite say what she wants, let alone do whatever she pleases.

it results in an awkward presence and a hesitation she hasn't shown in months.

“DOES IT MATTER?”

fernando’s time is not his own. never was and never will be. for he wears too many hats that require him to be available should the matter prove important enough. the fact that it comes from their head scientist, means it should carry such weight.

“what is it, reyes,” he asks promptly, unwilling to wait for the inevitable back and forth.

[attr="class","illeana i"]only a mere 24 hours after meeting her doppelganger once more, she wastes no time in seeking answers to questions she never wanted.

he cuts to the point and she sighs.

"at rustboro..."

she stares a little too long as if she can pinpoint where the change occurs on his face. she can't but she likes to think she knows him anyway to have a ghost of an idea.

"why couldn't you take that chance?"

why not cut the rot out at the beginning before it festers and spreads? why leave a monster unchecked?

and... why heal her afterward?

“TAKE WHAT CHANCE?”

his reply is quick and sharp. immediate. without second thought as he starts to type away at his keyboard. click and clacking away as his attention, seemingly, gets divided.

[attr="class","illeana i"]he continues typing and normally, it would go in one ear and out the other. today, however? the sound claws at her skin.

she takes quick steps over to him, a hand reaching to still his against a keyboard. it stills a moment later, hoverkng in his personal bubble but unwilling to touch him.

”allowing my doppelganger and i to fight.”

HER HAND BRINGS A PAUSE, for a moment, but once it registers he swats it away immediately. like shooing away a fly. the looks he gives her is full of scorn. a challenge to the audacity of her claim, before he starts up again, deleting his last line just to rewrite it again.

“i heard fairburne, miro, and you will be deployed to mount pyre. will you be assisting?”

[attr="class","illeana i"]she (mostly) ignores the scorn splashing across his face. her hand travels back to her side as if unbothered by the swatting motion.

and in a way, she's not surprised. it's to be expected, she supposes, given the apparent demise of their relationship.

"yes, we are."

she blinks, then, and confusion rises.

"assisting who?"

she doesn't believe the elite four could ever need her assistance but it's half of a nice thought, perhaps.

“THE LEAGUE,” he states, as if obvious. “what other reason is there to be on the field instead of in the safety of our bunkers?”

she's not entirely useless. at least, in her eyes. the same cannot be said of the man in front of her.

besides, it's not like it's the warfronts all over again...

“BECAUSE YOU CAN STAND BY IDLY AND LEAVE IT UP TO CHANCE,” is his roundabout answer come full circle. a click of his tongue silences the matter as he continues his work.

it's the only logical answer for her, truthfully. she's a bright mind, an adept healer, and had been useful by his side in the war. did he simply forget or does he... not care?

"no, that wasn't it."

but what exactly does she want to say, anyway? what does she want out of this?

"you're still mad, aren't you?"

“I AM NOT MAD,” fernando reaffirms with narrowed eyes. “i am out of time.”

this time, he stops his work, stops the chittering of his keys as he voluntarily concedes his time.

“METENO approaches and we are not ready. if we fail, everyone dies. no exceptions, no re-dos. and i cannot let that happen.”
