[attr="class","illeana i"]she finds him on one of the days he's at the lilycove office for silph co. and while she would typically announce her arrival prior with a text, she uses the element of surprise to her advantage. well, as much as she can. she does send a text prior to heading over here to at least inquire if he's here to narrow down her hunt for the councilman.

she knows, realistically, she's not someone he'd prefer to see at this point but time is of the essence. she knocks once, loudly, before entering his office without waiting for the go-ahead.

"fernando."

it's sharp, urgent, leaving no room to avoid or wave her away like a child.

she demands his attention for one sole purpose: this conversation is bigger than her and him and whatever uncomfortable tension lays between them.

"i need to tell you something. it's... about mt pyre."

SHE CATCHES HIM AT A BAD TIME. hasty movements move to shield his face from view as he shuffles his eyepatch back into place. it fits snugly with a snap, rounded rim tight against skin. the way he does so calmly but hurried makes it seem as if she was a moment earlier she would’ve caught sight of the same exposed socket she had seen back in his hospital room.

“go ahead,” he says without missing a beat.

[attr="class","illeana i"]she realizes as the eyepatch settles that her timing isn't the best.

it doesn't deter her, necessarily, but she does linger a moment before speaking again.

"there was a pink slash that appeared in front of me at mt pyre."

she has an idea of what -- no, who caused it -- but she's hesitant to utter the name. last time she did, he spat it in her face for months.

"it showed a glimpse into sea hoenn before reality mended itself."

her eyes narrow as if she knows what verbal beating will come next.

"i saw them mining the meteor."

“AND THAT’S DOCUMENTED IN YOUR REPORT,” is his only real question. while this news is important his reaction belays its magnitude. for little can compare to the actual end of their lives. even this, while foreboding, is a prelude to disaster as opposed to METENO’s immediate call for attention.

she frowns.

"the meteorite fragments had primal markings only when in their hands."

she doesn't want to think of what they're planning.

and yet, it rises out of the throat anyway like proverbial word vomit.

"if they function in a similar manner to primal crystals, they'll be coming for us."

another war. will this one be solely her fault?

“A RISK WE TOOK ON WHEN WE DECIDED NOT TO DIE,” is his composed commentary. he seems well collected despite the news. unafraid.

“and one we compounded on when we exposed our primal points to them repeatedly well before the operation. and again when we met them for a diplomatic conversation that took away our surprise and and afforded them ample time and preparation.”

[attr="class","illeana i"]her eyes narrow further at the tone.

did he… expect this? was it all part of whatever plan he had in place?

”so, you’re not concerned?”

her voice takes an incredulous tone before she sighs.

fine, new tactic. it’s half self indulgent, as if she just needs to get it all off her chest at this point.

”okay, what do you think the pink slash was then?”

“I AM VERY CONCERNED,” or so he claims.

without a lick of hesitance, he answers her question. “palkia, no?” one hand moves to claim the rubber pokeball on his standing desk and he looks for a spot on the wall.

a practiced pitch bounces the ball against the wall in a trajectory that cause it to return to him.

“congratulations.”

[attr="class","illeana i"]okay, she's never wanted to smack the shit out of someone half as badly as she does right this very moment.

it persists as he throws the ball, as it bounces back.

"then what're we gonna do about it?"

since he's just soooo concerned, right?

a crack in her irritated composure allows confusion to knot into the expression.

"what do you mean congratulations?"

she has nothing to show for any sort of accomplishment... just a pink slash in reality and an increased paranoia. no god, no powers, nothing. she's still right back where she started, right where he left her.

THWUMP!

the ball strikes true. dry wall lets out a hollow groan as the piece of rubber rebounds off the floor and back into his hand. it cycles once as he thinks about his next words. these, he puts more thought into. affords some time.

“do you really want to know?”

she knows this, understands this.

and yet, she still answers for a simple, never changing fact: she has an insatiable curiosity.

"yes."

somehow, she doesn't know what to expect. yelling, scolding, praise, absolutely nothing?

irritating.

“ALRIGHT,” he says in self reflection, “where do we begin?”

thwump! another bounce circulates a round of predictions as fernando starts to pool his predictions into a digestible sequence of events.

“you may want to sit down,” he says, lowering his standing desk regardless of her choice. it should come as no surprise that fernando lives by his own advice.

“we have a lot to do.”

[attr="class","illeana i"]the response catches her by surprise. enough so that the expression splashes across her face like a cold bucket of water.

"okay."

she hesitates a mere moment before lowering herself into the seat opposite him. one leg crosses over the other and her hands settle into a small knot on her lap. subconsciously, she picks at her cuticles until they threaten to bleed themselves dry.

"what's first?"

“WELL, FIRST—NO, NO, NO.”

fernando interrupts himself as he still struggles to contain his thinking in something that is both comprehendible and fluid.

“we’ll start with the top.”

thwump! the ball leaves his hand again. this time, he aims higher to account for his lowered height. it bounces higher, jumping twice, before it comes back to its ORIGIN POINT.

“i am going to tell you, and everyone else who’s willing to listen, to stop fucking around with matters we do not understand. we must approach this situation, and other events, with the utmost caution. due diligence and practiced patience.”
