[attr="class","char-words"]the bell that marks his entry chimes gently, bugling the arrival of the middle-aged man. river, despite the early-onset of spring, wears a long sleeved t-shirt and ripped jeans.
[break][break]
river casually flips a golden coin into the air, clasping it to the palm of his other hand. peering beneath his cupped palm, he sighs.
[break][break]
his eyes search the shop lazily, landing on a shelf of old telephones somewhere along the wall, before he moves with all the grace and hurry of a sleeping persian to investigate the shelf.

Even from the back room, Girard could hear the tinkling of the bell. Someone had arrived.[break][break]
Mortimer perked up, moving to the office door, but Girard waved him off. "Stay here and watch them," he ordered, standing up from where he'd been working on coaxing a Shellder onto the arm of a Slowpoke in order to induce an evolution into the Galarian breed of Slowbro. He motioned for the Galarian Mr. Mine to remain in the office, making sure the Shellder and the Slowpoke did not cause any trouble. Then the pawnbroker slipped from the room and went in search of his newest customer.[break][break]
To his delight, he recognized the man perusing the shelf of antique telepohones. An old friend, one he'd actually been meaning to contact. It seemed the universe had seen fit to deliver the man to Girard before he'd had the chance to do any summoning. How convenient.[break][break]
"Marx," he murmured pleasantly, amber eyes sparkling with intrigue. "Good of you to stop by the shop."

[attr="class","char-words"]"fraser." the name left a sour taste in his mouth, but not for the usual reasons. he'd never quite understood the whole 'last name' thing, but like a good kecleon, he adapts.
[break][break]
"these look old," his finger spins the dial of an old phone in-front of him, but he loses interest quickly. sighing lightly, river turns to face the other man.
[break][break]
"how've you been?"

"Old, yes. Relatively speaking, anyway."[break][break]
Girard watched, amused, as River's interest in the antique telephones receded like a sudden low tide. The other man's reserved demeanor hid the fact that he was somewhat impulsive, Girard had observed. Like his namesake, River never seemed to linger too long in any one place - physical or mental.[break][break]
"I'm well," Girard answered. "As well as any of us can be, given the ongoing turmoil in the region." Rifts opening, faction conflicts, strange dating simulations that knew way too much about Hoenn's citizenry. "And yourself?"

Girard thought back to his recent expedition into the strange realm that was the Ultra Crater. The burn on his leg was gone, replaced by shiny pink skin, newly healed over - yet the memory of the incident was still fresh in the pawnbroker's mind.[break][break]
"They are dangerous," he answered simply, tone matter-of-fact. "But they are also lucrative. There are treasures - and rare Pokémon - within them worth the risks. Have you considered visiting one?"[break][break]
Girard could take him, of course. He had enough connections now within Hoenn Rocket to have gained access. He'd already begun formulating plans with nikkari hect to return to the Ultra Crater, to start.[break][break]
"I must caution that they are also rather unpredictable," Girard murmured, playful. His amber eyes watched the coin in River's hand dance from finger to finger in seamless transition. One could be hypnotized by such sleight-of-hand if they weren't careful. "You may find them...distasteful."[break][break]
Was it a challenge, Girard's own desire to see River rise to the occasion? Or merely an observation, to assuage an old friend? Constantly, he flitted between the two like a Combee between blooming flowers.
