"I've had to be."[break][break]

Having said this, Elisabeth took one of the bread loaves in hand, a knife delicately cutting a piece for herself. The silver gleamed in the ambient light of the restaurant before she discarded it, soaking the slice of white bread in the oil.[break][break]

"If I don't look out for my own interests," she continued, her voice calm despite the intensity that flashed in her gaze, "then who will?"[break][break]

She took an unhurried bite of the roll, giving him space for his response.

[attr="class","stonemain"]"i used to think the same but later realized it would only lead to a lonely life."

it was something his father taught him, actually, and it was one of the reasons why rustboro used to be closed off from the rest of the region, at least in terms of resources.

"there are always people who care for you."

"You've lived a charmed life, I suspect. To have always been cared for, in some way."[break][break]

Though Elisabeth attempted to curb it, her words held an acidic tang in their dry retort. She did her best to cleanse her palate with another sip of wine, drowning one dissatisfaction with another.[break][break]

Her next question aimed itself at an unspoken assumption on his part, an eyebrow lifted.[break][break]

"Do you believe that people choose to be lonely?"

there's no point in admitting otherwise. he has lived a comfortable life and has not had to struggle the same way others do. he comes from privilege which skews his perception at times.

"some do. maybe not voluntarily, but through their actions."

She folded her arms over her chest, considering the stranger across from her. The combination of his calm manner with seemingly noble intentions made her cautious; this was a guise she'd witnessed many times prior. With FERNANDO SILPH, in fact.[break][break]

That thought wasn't given much room to breathe before she shoved it aside.[break][break]

"I'll confess something to you," she said at last, her hands falling into her lap. "I don't read people very well."

[attr="class","stonemain"]considering what she told him in the border of her experiences, he does not fault her for being guarded. he is a mere stranger, brought back from the dead, and the only connection he shares with her is through a common enemy.

his expression softens a little.

"i'm not very difficult to read. or at least i try not to be."

he chuckles.

"you can always ask, and i'll be honest."

"Honesty is a dangerous thing to promise a woman," Elisabeth replied -- a warning she had given once before to GIDEON GRAVES, the night of the Winter Masquerade. She had meant her words then, and she meant them now. "I don't do well with broken promises, you should know."[break][break]

Perhaps it was better to view his offer as a challenge, instead.[break][break]

"How is it that you know Silph?" she asked, just as the soup and salad were brought to their table. Only when the waiter departed did she finish her thought. "And what is the nature of your relationship to him?"[break][break]

If their mutual enemy was all they had in common, it seemed sensible to begin there.

[attr="class","stonemain"]"this promise won't break."

that much he is sure of.

"we became acquainted when we were younger. our families did business together, and so i would often visit their estate in kanto, though i only met him once, maybe twice."

as the prodigal kid was out traveling. training.

"we were later gym leaders and on the council together."

All men believed their promises were sincere, liars most of all.[break][break]

"You must have been born into a powerful family, then."[break][break]

The polite niceties of dining inserted natural pauses between their conversation, pacing them. Despite the inherent slowness of her movements, Elisabeth's mind became restless with the new information and its implications.[break][break]

"Did you align often on the council? Or were your voices more often opposed?" she inquired.[break][break]

She could picture either, strangely enough.

[attr="class","stonemain"]"i was."

which is a fact that most from this region would know.

most things in his life were given to him. some were earned, sure, but the majority were through his family and name.

her next question makes him chuckle.

"we played our cards well enough. we were civil and in agreement more often than we were not."

"That's a curious foundation for resentment," she observed, a slightly puzzled look revealing her quiet calculation. "You'd think such a partnership would be a valuable one for you both."[break][break]

A belated question rose to the fore, somehow deemed insignificant until this moment.[break][break]

"I don't believe I know your last name."

[attr="class","stonemain"]"it was valuable to an extent, but our disagreements came outside of work."

when other people started to get involved and roped in and affected. before he can clarify, however, she brings up an excellent point that catches him off guard.

it even leaves him slightly embarrassed.

"Ah." A hand tucked an errant strand of blonde hair behind her ear. "That clarifies things."[break][break]

Two scions of two powerful houses, one from Kanto and one from Hoenn.[break][break]

A rivalry seemed inevitable, with the seeds of such a foundation set between them. Not to mention the current state of Devon Corp under Silph Co.'s umbrella.[break][break]

"Business was the wedge between you, then? Or something else."[break][break]

The implication of what the other option might be went unsaid.

[attr="class","stonemain"]the smile he offers her is apologetic, shown more so for himself to excuse the mistake in assuming she knew who he was. with that realization, he now wonders what her intentions here are.

it's refreshing, in a way, to not be recognized. it's humbling.

"it started with business but later stretched into our personal lives. he felt the need to control, and i felt the need to liberate."
