it's only after she pulls away does he realize the exact same, but where she flushes, he only smiles in return.[break][break]

"oh! don't be."[break][break]

and when the topic shifts back to him, he takes a moment to ponder.[break][break]

"in some capacity, yes, but i'm not too sure to what extent i should involve myself."[break][break]

he is honest.[break][break]

"i feel as though i'm so far behind everyone and that most of my time will be spent playing catch-up."[break][break]

"I don't really think so!" she says as her old peppy self seemed to leak through, the part of her that she wished died long ago. [break][break]

Somehow her interactions with alexander brought it back. "I mean if anything you can easily catch up! Hoenn's constantly changing so I mean...no one really is super experienced with the stuff coming around. Look at the recent terastalization phenomenon, not even I fully understand it or use it myself." [break][break]

"But I think you can make up that difference with skill!" she says readily offering her compliments as Melody remembered watching Alexander in some of his exhibit matches.

though he hadn't been fishing for assurance, he finds that he does not mind it from melody. in fact, he quite appreciates it.[break][break]

"you think so?"[break][break]

a soft sigh escapes him, more relieved than anything.[break][break]

"i'll offer my support wherever the league needs it."[break][break]

he had told the commissioner as much.[break][break]

"that offer extends to you as well, of course."[break][break]

She smiles when he accepts her compliment "Of course! I mean you were one of the bigwigs in the league." she says nodding her head as a question was burning inside of her. [break][break]

"Then I hope you better be ready to help me with the concert because I'm gonna need people to cheer me on." [break][break]

"You better! Promise?" she said giving out her pinky again.

"i promise."[break][break]

even if he's not sure if he'll be needed at the concert, he'll be there. if not for the sake of the mission, then for her.[break][break]

"are you hungry? there's this restaurant i used to frequent often. i'm not sure if they're still open but if they are you'd be in for a treat."[break][break]

She finally begun to let her hair be a little more loose in front of Alexander. "Alexander! Already trying to get a date with me? In the middle of enemy territory no less? Dahlia would have a heart attack." she says laughing a bit "Sure, where is it at?" she asks as Melody walks over to him and wraps her arms around him. [break][break]

She blushed being so brave and forward like this but for some reason, Alexander had a certain charm about him that made her at ease...much like Ollie did.

he laughs.[break][break]

"that sounds like dahlia."[break][break]

her forward approach is enough to catch him off guard. he smiles as she holds onto him, ready to depart for their impromptu date.[break][break]

"this way."[break][break]

it does not take them long to reach the restaurant. much to his surprise, it's still open despite all the trying times as of late. it's run by an old couple, sootopolis natives who have been here their whole lives.[break][break]

as he holds open the door for her, the sight greets them of of a warm restaurant that sits by the water.[break][break]

Melody once considered herself to be a rather eccentric, not really paying attention to social norms. [break][break]

But alexander seemed to take the cake, not caring about getting caught by rocket, causing problems for dahlia? If he wanted to do something...he'd just...do it.[break][break]

She was a bit envious of his ability to just do that. Maybe she could learn a thing or two from him.[break][break]

As he holds the door open to him she nods and thanks him with a shy smile. She stares out at the water "It's so pretty here...what do they serve here?" she asks as Melody's zoroark follows behind them but makes himself unknown to the couple by turning invisible and sitting away in the corner.

it's amazing how inconsequential most things seem now once he's been dead. it has allowed him to reevaluate and has given him a revived perpsective on life.[break][break]

they remain disguised so the owners don't recognize them. they are allowed their anonymity and their privacy.[break][break]

"their pasta is amazing. homemade and everything. so i'd recommend that."[break][break]

"No, I'm not." she hadn't really thought of it before but it'd make sense for someone to think she was. [break][break]

"It's too difficult for me to give up meat. I've tried in the past but cravings get the better of me since im a foodie." she tells him "Is pasta your favorite? I really like any kind of pasta." The zoroark yawns in the corner as it remains curled up until they're done eating. [break][break]

The waiter comes and take her order, a clawitzer scampini with linguini. "What are you gonna eat?" she asks as she looks up at the menu, curious to see what he'd order.

"that sounds exactly like my journey."[break][break]

his had been short-lived as cravings always got the better of him. it's like she said: he's a foodie as well.[break][break]

"it is! i usually make it at home but it still pales in comparison to most places."[break][break]

he orders spaghetti carbonara, a classic.[break][break]

"do you drink? red wine? white wine?"[break][break]

while it could be dangerous for them to be drinking in sootopolis of all places, he finds it safe enough to.[break][break]

"Red wine!" she says as she was at least glad that preference had never changed. "Making pasta at home? I'm probably not a good chef at all. I usually uhh..hired someone to make my food." she says as she awkwardly fidgets in her chair as he might've judged her for it. [break][break]

Hopefully he never found out it was Hideo Kino who was essentially her personal chef since he proved he could make a kick ass egg omelet with behyeem's help. "What about you? red, white? Or are you a liquor guy?" [break][break]

The realization had just hit her in that very moment, were they...on a date? She hadn't even gotten dressed up- she did dress- What the hell! Alexander stone??? and her??? [break][break]

Her face turned beet red.

"that makes sense. we have a chef as well but i find cooking quite relaxing."[break][break]

he does not judge her in the slightest. if anything, he understands her.[break][break]

"i usually drink wine. either is fine, though i often enjoy red more."[break][break]

it does not take long before a bottle of wine is presented to them, red, an aged merlot.[break][break]

"are you okay, melody?"[break][break]

he asks, concerned but also still smiling as he raises his glass towards her.[break][break]

"what should we toast to?"[break][break]

"Nothing! Everything's fine!" she says as Melody quickly snaps out of it as Alexander asks her what's wrong. She immediately grabs the glass and raises it. "A toast huh?" she asks wondering what to toast to. [break][break]

"Us? The future?" she ponders out loud "I'm not really sure." she says awkwardly as melody's nervousness was still detectable in her tone despite her facial expression not matching her tone at all. She had gotten really good at hiding her expression.

us sounds a little too personal and he's not quite sure if they're there yet. the last thing he wants is to scare her away, which may be a possibility given her reactions so far.[break][break]

"to the future."[break][break]

his glass clinks against hers before he brings it back to sip.[break][break]

"have you been to rustboro much? there are some sights that i think you'd appreciate. i'll take you around to see them if you'd like."[break][break]
