Angelo nods.

“You don't need to worry about that. No explorer is goin' to pass an opportunity like the rifts up.”

Until the day that illeana reyes makes good on her intention to stitch the portals shut, he vows to take as much from its depths that he can smuggle into his pockets and more.

It's secrets. It's treasure. It's wonder.

Whatever he can find.

“If there's something in there that could be a threat to Hoenn, then it'll be found long before it has a chance to come through.”

There's confidence in his voice as Angelo lowers the mug from his lips, eyes flickering down at the diminishing liquid.

Blue eyes crinkle in the corner, a smile. “Just don't work too fast, Dr Reyes.”

There's much that both parties could capitalise on before the door is locked tight.

with what's to transpire.

[attr="class","illeana b"]
[attr="class","illeana i"]a soft hum escapes and she holds him to that sentiment. no explorer would pass up the rifts... but what could it cost them?

and her expression turns slightly serious.

"it will, but what will we do if we do not have the means to contain or defeat it?"

there's too many variables held within each rift for her to feel comfortable leaving them open.

her mind has already begun stringing up theories and ideas in an effort to heal the dimensions, to stitch up the wounds in space-time... but will any of them work?

her smile returns, then, in an amused sort of nature.

"i'll try to take it slow."

it'll be a snails pace, anyway, she believes.

"besides, who knows if more will show up once one is closed?"

Blue eyes hold fast as the researcher's expression falls, laughter lines disappearing as honesty peeks through. Concern bleeding through the gaps in her fingers, dripping through the cracks.

“What would we do if none of the contingency plans work?”

Angelo lets out a hum of contemplation, mulling it over as if tasting the flavour of the coffee on his tongue.

“How have we survived every disaster, professor? I've known the Hoennians to be a tenacious sort.”

His head tilts, smile calm. Flowing with steady purpose like an Alto Marean canal. Much like the concealed depths of those rivers - like Angelo himself - however, there's a bite to this region.

If the premeditated fails, then tooth and nail it'll be.

“But that's why we need to be the ones to find it first. Know what we're dealing with before it has a chance to even be a problem.”

Early bird gets the worm, after all.

“True.” Angelo chuckles, a private part of him wishing her theory correct. “Then it's a good thing we're workaholics, right?”

And after all, a wise professor once said, less disasters meant less work.

[attr="class","illeana"]
[attr="class","illeana b"]
[attr="class","illeana i"]she's quiet as he advocates for their tenacity.

and for the most part, he does have a point. hoenn has survived each and every disaster they've faced. whether it's by well-laid plans or scrapping for victory tooth and nail, they've come out on top.

that fight is expected to continue with similar results, isn't it?

"this region does not go down without one hell of a fight, you are correct in that."

and when the day comes where they cannot succeed in such a fight, what will come then?

she hopes to never have to see such a time.

"i expect the information you and other explorers extract out of the rifts will prepare us for what is ahead."

there is no other way forward. their expeditions are vital to the survival of hoenn, whether it seems it now or not.

and slowly, a reassured smile begins to rise. angelo might not be closely tied to the league, but she appreciates his presence in these hallowed halls all the same.

"quite a good thing."

they have their work cut out for them.

"before you begin, will you need any resources to assist you with your work?"

What were explorers but scouts for the unknown?

“Shouldn't think so. All the equipment I'll need is ready to go,” he answers simply, his supplies had been well stocked long before the opening of the rifts in preparation.

“But I'll take you up on that offer if anything comes up.” There's an edge to his grin, then.

Angelo leans forward, forearms resting on his knees as if he's about to stand. Gravity of recollection keeping him grounded.

“Oh, I'll bring in those frequency readers for you soon.”

Pinched between his fingers around the lip, the Ditto mug dangles. Last drops of coffee and conversation swirling with a lazy twirl of the wrist.

“Sometime this week good?”

[attr="class","illeana i"]a hum of understanding escapes.

and should he require any additional equipment or bodies to help with his exploration endeavors, all he would have to do is call. she'd lend whatever she could to ensure both parties involved gained what they need.

she has a budding feeling, however, that he has everything more than covered. it is his area of expertise, after all.

the mention of the frequency readers has her perking up slightly, eyes igniting with that curious spark once more.

"yes, absolutely!"

her smile returns brighter than before. new equipment to tinker around with always feels like christmas day.

"i have a relatively easy week after today, so whenever you're free, please stop by."
