It is late afternoon, the sun has just begun to set. Callan has just finished meeting with regarding his personal controversy, and has for lack of a better word, meandered into the streets of Slateport with existential flair. By now, he had grown used to Teleportation to allow him to manage his schedule.

The roads, bars, shops and stalls are all familiar to him. He had lived here, raised a family here, lost his purpose here, and rebuilt his life in this area. And so walking through the chaotic streams of Slateport and meandering into a bar are pasttimes that he is familiar with, and fully intend on doing for tonight. With, or without company.

Callan bumps into a familiar face. Familiar perhaps, stretching it slightly. He's seen her on the news and in magazines, and a few times in formal meetings and operations, but he'd never actually spoken with or interacted with her.

"Katherine, hi." Callan says as he approaches her by the street, sliding a hand in his pocket. "Are you shopping nearby?"

It's her first bar for the night. The first in a series of many, Katherine hopes, but a part of her knows that one way or another, Hoenn will find a way to let her down. Even when it comes to just providing good alcohol and passable bar music.
[break][break]
There'll be an incident. An ugly drunk or even a Pokemon handled by one. Either way, she expects it by now—although the elite four doesn't welcome it, she accepts it as part of her life.
[break][break]
For now, at least.
[break][break]
She is only a couple of steps away from Ritual's entrance before Callan makes his presence known, prompting a quick turn and a delay in her plans of getting intoxicated. A short delay, hopefully.
[break][break]
"..Hi," it's a bit weird. Co-worker or not, they don't really know each other, and as it stands, the Malevolent can't find a reason to change that. "Shopping? No. I was just... I was going to get a drink, actually," it dawns on her finally. He's her co-worker. He could handle whatever stupid drunks she'll find inside Ritual.
[break][break]
"You're welcome to join me."

This was a pleasant surprise. Alcohol was an appropriate neurotoxin in place of therapy. Callan smiles. "I would love to." He sets his phone to silence as he appraises the bar. "As your plus-one I think I'd also help with preventing your admirers from being painted on the walls by Giratina." Not that he'd discount himself.

Ritual was not a bar he typically attended. Though it was known to be a spot for rougher types, the price of the drinks were no less cheap. The new management by @virgil and the addition of the club also somewhat gentrified the local population. Though Callan supposed, he is part of the gentrification now. Callan slid the drinks menu for the both of them to read. Callan scans the lines of the menu, he knew what he was going to order.

"How've you been? I don't think I've seen you since either Slateport, or the Cloud."

A pang of guilt stings her heart when Callan names Giratina so easily. It's possessive and territorial, and the urge to reprimand him for the bad joke is barely resisted. "Ah, that'd be nice," fortunately, Katherine's voice is no less dry than it usually is.
[break][break]
Although she spares a glance at the drinks menu, Katherine knows that it won't be necessary. She knows what she wants, and besides, what sort of self-respecting, alcohol-serving establishment doesn't offer martinis?
[break][break]
"Busy. I almost miss Meteno, you know? I didn't have to worry about work when the entire region was convinced we'd all be gone soon," most people wouldn't want to admit that, but it comes easily to the Malevolent.
[break][break]
"It's fine, though. I can't really complain. What about you? How's the new job treating you?"

After the chilly reception, Callan's trust in hit wit dampens somewhat. He shrugs off the spike of cortisol that comes from the awkwardness of the event as they enter into the bar.

As they get to talking, the bartender comes over and takes their order. Callan orders an Old-Fashioned, the bartender awaits the Malevolent's order, then gets back to work.

"I think I understand." Callan said, though wholly interpreting the sentence entirely differently from Katherine's aloofness, for him it was the novelty of the expereience. "I wouldn't like to live through it again. But parts of me did enjoy the whole debacle. Sometimes it takes a life-shattering event to find out what you're capable of."

Trapped in a hothouse with a meteor threatening to pancake everything and everyone in the region. Teravolt on the uprise until it became an international sensation. His daughter moving away from Hoenn to safety. He had his worries, but out of everything, he certainly didn't feel bored. Every day was a fight on one front or another, two near-death experiences, a band, saving the planet whilst dooming the infinite peculiarities of the dimensions surrounding theirs. It was distracting, and distracting was good for him.

The question then turns to him. In truth: "So far it hasn't hit me yet." Callan admitted, "I've been doing paperwork, but I've not been challenged on a level that an Elite Four is expected to handle. And I've not been in any of the fun AQUA meetings I've been reading about."

"How do you feel about the job?" Callan turns the reply back to Katherine, he was more interested in that, given her longer experience in the field.

Their drinks arrive just as Callan redirects Katherine's question and offers her the opportunity to answer it herself, "Mm," she collects the cocktail skewer from her glass and rescues a single olive with her teeth, maintaining the suspense.
[break][break]
"Well, it pays well."
[break][break]
The dryness in her voice hasn't changed, but the olive somewhat soothes her mood, "The real challenges are scarce and few in between, to be honest. You're more likely to be challenged by Matias and Melody before anyone else jumps at the opportunity."
[break][break]
As the most senior elite four among them, it's hard to argue against Katherine's word. She knows these things because she's experienced them already, after all.
[break][break]
"AQUA is what it is. I don't know if I'd describe it as fun, but it's necessary. It's getting a bit crowded these days," was she referring to him? "but, ah, you learn to look past those who're just there to keep a seat warm."

Callan gently taps his cheek with the back of his index fingers after Katherine finishes speaking. His eyes turn back towards Katherine, "I can imagine a room full of opinions makes the entire process slower."

Callan takes the whiskey tumbler with the old fashioned and sips from it as his eyes return towards Katherine. An eyebrow is raised, and he tilts his free hand palm side by a fraction, "What's the difference between a person that's a benchwarmer, and one that isn't, my friend?"

"I suppose so, yeah, but regardless most people fall in line once sufficient guidance is provided." A short sip, a moment of reprieve dedicated to savouring the taste of her martini. Its sharpness is admired, and its smoothness is appreciated.
[break][break]
"Think about it this way: it's easy for people to avoid questioning plans or even provide commentary. It rids them of the responsibility and potential blame."
[break][break]
Katherine briefly runs her tongue across her teeth, pausing to consider Callan's question, "We're not friends just yet, Callan," she's quick to clarify and remind, "but I can assure you that you'll see the difference when the time comes. It's no fun if I tell you what to look for, you know?"
[break][break]
The Malevolent's not the type to make someone's life easier, that much is certain.

Callan listens and drinks his old-fashioned, his eyes fixed in Katherine's mannerisms as she speaks, studying. "Really?" He smiles, "A shame, perhaps sometime in the future then."

But as to what she had been speaking about others.

"Well, I've met a lot of people who were brilliant but lacked confidence." Callan replies, "Presenting an idea to a board of people takes a certain skill. You'd need the confidence and composure to prioritize your beliefs over others, the ability to speak in a manner that acts as a social unguent to your opinion, be able to maintain your frame in the midst of pressure, and also have a prerequisite amount of presence."

He swirls the remainder of his cocktail and downs it. "Perhaps their ultimate competencies lie elsewhere?"

"I hope so, yes."
[break][break]
Katherine often contemplated and questioned what sort of comptencies some of her co-workers and peers had, if at all, and it was all too often that she found herself without answer to that question.
[break][break]
Her eyes briefly glance at Callan's OLD FASHIONED, wondering if she should spice up her order for once before easily forgoing the idea. She shouldn't look to fix what is broken. "If nothing else, though, I am grateful that our commissioner has started to dismiss those who've overstayed their welcome and can no longer provide what the League and our region need."
[break][break]
She's undoubtedly referring to their former head ranger.

Callan's eyes briefly glance sideways in recollection, it takes a moment before it clicks. Much of what Katherine spoke was context between the words, and Callan hummed after she spoke. "I don't know much about the people who were dismissed, outside of what I read or heard," Callan unfurls a cigarette from a box kept in his pocket, he lights the end and inhales the nicotine into his lung, "But I'd not be here if it weren't for them, so I can't complain."

"Thank you for the drink Katherine." He extends himself off the bar stool, focusing back on Katherine, "I'll see you at work tomorrow."
