The directness of the question surprised her, almost as much as his suggestion that this lack of agency was a temporary state of affairs.[break][break]

Is it? her eyes openly questioned him, her eyebrows raised. How much power was it reasonable to believe she held beneath ?[break][break]

Better to assume too little, she privately reminded herself, than to dare to presume too much.[break][break]

A finger drummed on the table for a moment, her answer to his question already resolved before it was spoken aloud.[break][break]

"We must stay on the offensive. We have already built momentum," with the attack of during the Dawn of the Darkest Day, as much as the raids of METENO, Mt. Pyre, and Littleroot, "and we can either continue to push forward and seek to overwhelm the League with that aggression, or we allow that energy to peter out and invite the League's retaliation. The latter would give them the ability to dictate the terms of warfare, and I do not think that is wise."[break][break]

It wasn't that she enjoyed war. No part of her relished in the events of Littleroot, or eagerly awaited throwing herself into the fray again so soon.[break][break]

This was strategy, plain and simple.

"no, it wouldn't."[break][break]

not when they've already spent months building up momentum. the scales are tilted in their favor. to do anything other than being offensive would mean allowing it to tilt away from them. this is something elisabeth understands well.[break][break]

"do you know why we won the war in kanto?"

Her hands slid back to her lap, pressed together there silently as her restless drumming ceased. She looked at for a moment -- as if trying to ascertain what answer it was he wanted to draw from her, what angle it was that had led him to ask her such a thing -- before she replied with slow, careful consideration.[break][break]

"I have suspicions, but no, I don't know why we won in Kanto. Not definitively."[break][break]

Elisabeth leaned back then, her stare sharpening with curiosity as she met the underboss's gaze evenly.[break][break]

"Why did we succeed there, then?"[break][break]

Before the question could be answered, she quickly followed it with another:[break][break]

"And why did we fail in Johto?"

"timing and unity."[break][break]

he explains.[break][break]

"we were equally aggressive in johto as we were in kanto. despite that, the invasion failed because we were spread too thin. we were too divisive within our ranks, which was to be expected when factoring in the differences between those operating in kanto and those in johto, but we failed to bridge this divide."[break][break]

which ties into his next point.[break][break]

"we can be as aggressive as we want here but it would amount to nothing without unity. it's why failed, betrayed by his own, and i worry that it might be our downfall once more."

He, too, had a keen eye.[break][break]

It occurred to Elisabeth, suddenly, that she'd never considered to be an observant person. This was not due to anything the underboss had said or done to suggest this, but rather, her own misconception that those who wielded power through fear might not care about the thoughts or behaviors of others.[break][break]

A misconception that Elisabeth caught in herself now, and immediately moved to readjust and remedy.[break][break]

"We are agreed that now is an ideal time for attack, then. But you're right. Unity is lacking. The fact we had a rat among us is evidence enough of that."[break][break]

The tea cup settled on its saucer, etched Ledian and Ledyba visible on its gilded edges. Elisabeth's Bellossom brought in a tin of cookies from the back of her kitchen, humming as if her mistress wasn't currently discussing warfare and interfactional politics with another terrorist at the tea table.[break][break]

A question hovered at the tip of her tongue, before curiosity got the better of her.[break][break]

"Why did Rocket betray ?"

he nods, agreeing with her comment about the rat.[break][break]

"the transfer of power is a more glaring evidence that even those high up in the chain of command do not see eye to eye."[break][break]

a small nod is given to her bellossom before he reaches for a cookie.[break][break]

"blackwell was an authoritarian. he led through fear which he believed enforced loyalty. but what happens when fear isn't enough?"[break][break]

he continues.[break][break]

"his invasion on verdanturf and fallarbor was sabotaged from the start, leading to the arrests of multiple rocket personnel which left him to fend for his own."

"What does that make , then?" A wry smile creased her lips. "A politician?"[break][break]

It was a joke, but also a serious inquiry. Truthfully, Elisabeth didn't know what to make of the man. Part of her appreciated that he had been transparent with the rest of Rocket as he had in the first place, and that he had allowed disagreement to be voiced in a public forum, futile though it may have been.[break][break]

Another part of her seethed with resentment to know how utterly powerless she was before Walsh, when it came to acting in her own self-interest. The irony of it mocked her, after so many years forced to endure the yoke of another man's power over her.[break][break]

Would I be willing to betray Walsh, then? The traitorous whisper lurked beneath the shadows of her thoughts, buried as quickly as it came. The answer was too dangerous to ruminate on.[break][break]

Especially here, with .[break][break]

"A common enemy is the best way to unify people, I find. Our mistake was timing, I think, where the Transfer of Power is concerned. METENO was the enemy in many's eyes, moreso than the League."[break][break]

Her green eyes flickered up to meet his.[break][break]

"Thankfully, METENO is no longer a concern. Which means we can begin focusing again on those we mutually despise."

her joke slash inquiry is taken as the latter, so he answers it accordingly.[break][break]

"declan's elusiveness lends to his allure. many fear what they do not know yet respect what he chooses to present. so i suppose he is a politician."[break][break]

he chews on his cookie, swallowing shortly after.[break][break]

"the rifts will soon be points of contention. we need to be united, take the fight to them, and continue doing what we sought out to."[break][break]

Strangely, that concept resonated with her. Elusiveness.[break][break]

She had learned that withdrawing and allowing others to project their own opinions on you could be a telling thing, in and of itself.[break][break]

"It's an arms race of sorts, isn't it?" A hand slid into the tin, taking a sugar-dusted cookie for herself. "Who can move faster. Who can obtain what's needed most efficiently."[break][break]

The concept was more thrilling to her than Littleroot had been.[break][break]

"I'm curious. Which rifts have your priority?"

"it'll likely come down to timing like you said. whoever moves faster will have the advantage."[break][break]

and traditionally, team rocket have not been known for their speed. sootopolis, for example, was an operation that took months of planning. with the rifts, they'll only have days to plan. hours, even.[break][break]

"objectively speaking, the one at mount pyre should be our priority. but the one at granite cave has my curiosity."[break][break]

ultra deep sea.[break][break]

"I find myself resolved to the same two locations, actually. With a third added to my list, for personal reasons." She turned towards her window, gesturing vaguely. "The rift outside of Petalburg. I plan to explore it, if I can."[break][break]

Otherwise, Mt. Pyre and Granite Cave were her favored locations as well. The former because it was wise, the latter simply because of rumors she'd heard that piqued her greed: of Nihilego seen gathered undersea, tempting her with the promise of power.[break][break]

"They're bound to be unpredictable, however. Venturing alone would be foolish and unwise."[break][break]

Unity would be necessary to achieve these ends in a timely manner. Was the League fractured, as Rocket was? She wondered, sometimes.

he nods, acknowledging her interest in the rift outside of petalburg. if he has time, he would not mind exploring that one either. actually, he would not mind exploring all of them.[break][break]

"then i suppose we will simply have to venture into them together."[break][break]

he offers with a faint smile.[break][break]

"can i trust you, then?"[break][break]

not just for the rifts and whatever may lie beyond them, but also for the future.

Could he trust her? It was a good question.[break][break]

Elisabeth didn't trust many people; part of what attracted her to Rocket was the expectation that you worked with other people out of obligation. You understood the value others brought to the table, and in return, they respected the value you offered.[break][break]

That wasn't what he was asking though, was he? The question as he phrased it rang in a different way:[break][break]

'Will you be united with me?'[break][break]

"I am not your enemy, Underboss Beckett." A faint smile of her own greeted his. "It is as I said before, hm? There is value in being able to adapt."[break][break]

Whether to a more vicious Rocket, or to a Rocket that thrived in the shadows. Her loyalty was not dependent on ideology, but her own survival.[break][break]

"So yes. I think you can trust me, if you'd like to."

"i would."[break][break]

he clicks his tongue, quick to correct himself.[break][break]

"i do."[break][break]

because beneath the masks they wear, the two of them are the same. they adapt, they learn, and they survive.[break][break]

with a final sip of his tea, he sets the cup back down, then begins to prepare for his departure.[break][break]

"i will let you know when the time comes for us to venture into the rifts. until then, i do hope you have a good evening, and thank you for the hospitality."

The frankness of the admission stunned her for a moment. Not because of its suddenness, but because she believed its sincerity.[break][break]

He had outlived and outlasted so, so many in Kanto.[break][break]

He had no reason to humor her with idle lies of kinship here. Not unless he trusted she might outlast others, also.[break][break]

"I'm glad." Her gaze lowered to her tea cup for a moment, before returning to meet his. "Because I trust you, too."[break][break]

To do what must be done. To work alongside her, and not against her.[break][break]

"I look forward to hearing from you, then, when the time to explore the rifts comes." The Bellossom carried away the cookie tin, and Elisabeth stood up from her seat, moving towards the door. "And you are welcome, Underboss Beckett. It was my pleasure."[break][break]

Her own sincerity reflected itself in her soft-spoken words.
