It'd been a week since their private expedition out to the wilds. Since then, a lot has happened. For both of them.
[Break][break]
Guilt still plagued her heart at every mention of either man's name. Whether it be for the promise she shattered or the pain-struck face she had departed from, the end result was always the same.
[Break][break]
A grimace, a sigh, all punctuated by a pang of regret.
[Break][break]
Today, such shackles were forbidden from binding her. The importance of the league had been left propped up on her shoulders yet again, and with onlookers now taking curious glances wherever she went, Penelope made it a point to keep appearances neutral.
[Break][break]
"Matias," she called out to him from across the hall. It'd been a nightmare trying to lock him down, but alas, here he was, submitting a report. "a word?"

"all good?"[break][break]

why the fuck does it take so long to submit a report? he stares down the clerk, foot impatiently tapping against the floors of the league hq which might have been a bad idea as a familiar voice calls out to him from down the hallway.[break][break]

the mere sight of her is enough to fill him with an unfathomable amount of guilt.[break][break]

"don't have the time to."[break][break]

the clerk mutters something to his back as he turns and walks away.[break][break]

This bitch.
[Break][break]
"Matias!"
[Break][break]
Frustration lashed her voice, weighing down the few positive memories of their last shared trip. Why does he always find a way to make things difficult?
[Break][break]
Quickening her speed, she looked to find a way to scuttle nearly behind him. She tried again.
[Break][break]
"Matias! I'd like a word. Please."

unfortunately for him, there are only so many places within the hq he could slip into. the majority of the meeting rooms are occupied so he's left with the only choice of having to speed toward his rarely used office.[break][break]

"i'm incredibly busy so you'll have to keep it short."[break][break]

with nothing in particular. his schedule is all clear for the day.[break][break]

they round the corner, approaching his office. he shoves through the door, leaving it open behind him as he moves to his desk which he also rarely uses, if ever.[break][break]

"what is it?"[break][break]

Annoying.
[Break][break]
Pretentious.
[Break][break]
Words swelled in her mind without an escape to slip through. Patience did its best to smother their unruly tendencies, but it was truly her duty that kept them tamed.
[Break][break]
Especially when he mentioned his busy schedule. She'd checked his virtual calendar - his entire day was cleared. Fucking liar.
[Break][break]
Only after the door clicked close does she move to speak.
[Break][break]
"I want to be added to the team attacking Team Rocket's sub," she stated, voice chilled with distance, "given our situation, I just thought you should know."
[Break][break]
Better to be prepared than surprised by these things.

"first off, we don't have a situation. secondly, that team is full."[break][break]

matias will be joined by the likes of kyle lopez and Katherine Fairburne, two of hoenn's finest and strongest while Melody Miro and Callan Young draw the civilians away with their concert.[break][break]

it's a simple plan in theory but terribly difficult in execution.[break][break]

"in other words, you're sitting this one out, councilwoman."[break][break]

Maybe she deserved the first one. It was poor choice of words on her part. Their situation - that had been concluded after returning back to hoenn. [Break][break]

His second point, however, probed some nerves.
[Break][break]
"I'm telling you this as a courtesy. I will be joining your group."
[Break][break]
She had already wasted far too much time simply watching from the sidelines to let another opportunity slip by.

"no."[break][break]

he says as though he has any sort of control in this situation when he very well knows the power dynamic present at work. the hierarchy that sits her above him, making her his boss on a technicality.[break][break]

not like he has ever treated her that way, of course.[break][break]

"I wouldn't."
[Break][break]
Experience didn't bleed from her the way it did from him. But, after months of diligent work, she could at least say her efforts wouldn't bring down the team.

Why did his comfortability out rank hers?
[Break][break]
Narrowing her gaze, her arms slip into a cross across her chest.
[Break][break]
"If that's the case, maybe you should switch teams."
[Break][break]
Her lips twitched into a sickly sweet smile.
[Break][break]
"Wouldn't want you uncomfortable at the job, after all."

he blinks, having to take a moment to process what she suggests. the audacity of it to follow him into his office to tell him to switch teams when it was his idea in the first place.[break][break]

his glare cuts through the space between them.[break][break]

Her smile doesn't fade. It features, withstanding the blow of anger that bellowed out from him.
