Talks of the morning's initial attack and the aftermath of Rocket's siege of ULTRA DEEP SEA drew into the deep afternoon of the several spanning days following the league's defeat.
[Break][break]
Victories had been won, battles had been fought, but it was Rocket that held the final triumphant stand.
[Break][break]
Exhausted, at today's meeting's end, Penelope wasted no time in collecting her belongings.
[Break][break]
It was during this she stole a simple side glance of the man who stood beside her. FERNANDO SILPH.
[Break][break]
"If you need assistance with your part in Elinor Anderson's workload, let me know."
[Break][break]
An olive branch of sorts.
[Break][break]
"I can help wherever needed."

“THAT WON’T BE NECESSARY,” is her second dismissal of the day. “it won’t be the first time i’ve had to cover for an anderson.”

the implication goes beyond just the HEAD RANGER. for all the talks about silphs and nepotism, their family has represented hoenn well.

one fallen in the line of duty. another being the longest serving member of their illustrious council. can the same be said about the other family who stains the league in their failures?

no.

it cannot.

“however, we should talk.”

his only good eye strays to his wrist out of courtesy. he already knows his schedule well ahead of time. and by extension, hers too.

“do you have a moment? in private?”

A private conversation with the FERNANDO SILPH?
[break][break]

That was the furthest thing from good news.
[break][break]

Alas, there was no denying the request of a peer. Especially when it was clear they were both well aware of her freed afternoon.
[break][break]

"Sure. Your office?"
[break][break]

It was closer than hers.

“THAT’LL SUFFICE.”

a bit more political than his usual diction. the common use of more informal (by his standard), such as ‘indeed’, has been scrubbed clean. a consequence to the constant hearings they’ve been subjected to in their thorough defeat.

hours backfilling follow up meetings with and on behalf of Eva Morales has turned him into a drone. prime and proper for the nuance politics demand.

and like his persona, his office is just as bare. empty and void of anything that does not serve purpose. minimal in contrast to the man that many say, has everything.

“remind me livy,” he makes sure the door closes behind him. “what is our purpose?”

The question was patronizing. An absolute waste of time.
[break][break]

Narrowed eyes swept the bare room in slow, low-reaching arcs as she took a small pause to answer.
[break][break]

No wonder most employees left his chambers with such taut smiles - the simplicity of the room was anxiety inducing on its own. Nevermind the man that came tact along with it.
[break][break]

"Silph,"
[break][break]

She hated calling him that. It reminded her too much of MATIAS SILPH .

“LIVY,” he retorts with heavy disdain. “if i thought you had the mental capacity to understand what i have to say, i would have.”

stern words have a tendency to drop lower. his volume is just as vacant as his office. the silent calm before the storm.

“but recent allegations have swayed me away from that notion. so, i must hear it from you myself.”

it only takes one eye to bear down on her with all his scrutiny.

“as council members, as members hoenn’s league, what is our purpose?”

Penelope straightened her back, not daring to allow Fernando's biting words to be her downfall. In some ways, she understood a piece of his frustrations. Had it been anyone else, she would've been in his position, berating the unlucky fool who'd thought it wise to make a mockery out of the league. Ironic how some things turn out.

“…”

her answer is correct. it is exactly what he wants to hear. but her answer brings him no peace and her no reprieve. for that are some wrongs that cannot be corrected. no matter how much lip service she gives, actions speak louder than any politician’s words.

“i am glad we are still aligned on that front.”

they face each other as the only two members of the council. but he does not see her as such. she is just as green as the day she started. perhaps greener.

“do you remember when i asked you if you thought you could take down groudon?”

"How could I forget?"[break][break]

Being berated under freezing temperatures, surrounded by the frozen carcasses of forgotten souls was not a memory easily forgotten.
[Break][break]
And, despite her best efforts to avoid it, a similar conversation looked to be budding between them. At this least this one would be done under easier conditions.

“I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT,” he says to the same tune. “i realize now that i asked the wrong question.”

she should recognize it by now. the cycle of his discussion. but just anticipating is not enough to brace for impact.

“but, on that topic, do you think kyle lopez could rise to the challenge?”

She blinked at the question, hesitant.
[break][break]

While this conversation was warranted, there was little she wanted to divulge with the man of crippling frost. Even casual conversation was out of the question. And yet, here she was, forced to endure another lecture.
[break][break]

"I think he would rise to any challenge he was asked to. Matias or otherwise," she sighed, eyes motioning toward the windows. The weather looked clear today. What a waste.

“I CONCUR,” is his way of ferrying the conversation over to his side. “and if they couldn’t, we have Katherine Fairburne and Callan Young and so on. there will always be another trainer to rise up to the challenge.”

her wandering eye does not go amiss. whatever attention she refuses to give him is instead stolen by his choice of flattery: mimicry. they parallel, looking out the window. one sees perfect weather. the other sees whats at risk.

“how about this? who can break down the chemical process of mega evolution in pokemon? who can describe the ecological impact primal rifts have on our environment?”

Two pairs of eyes stared out, one considered what was at stake, while the other considered the redundancy of another lecture. Another attempt for someone to belittle, besmudge, and disparage the councilwoman for a decision she'd already begun to swallow the regret down for.
[break][break]

The snaking of his directive influence over the conversation earned a placid side glance.
[break][break]

"Eva Morales ," her voice sounded tight, as though a smoldering flame were developing beneath the underbelly of her docile smile. "That is the answer you're looking for, right?"
[break][break]

Burning embers flickered in the golden pools of her eyes. They shifted back to the safety of the window and the world beyond FERNANDO SILPH .
[break][break]

"If you're looking to talk about that, then go ahead with it. I've already said what I needed to dahlia goode - nothing here will change that. So, given that, I'd appreciate it if we can speed this along. Maybe jump a few of these trivial questions you love so damn much."

“IS THAT SO?”

silence mulls an infinite amount of questions. there’s so many ways to start this. so many ways to dissect the human body and its many passages. but all it takes is one obstruction for the hate in his veins to clot into something fatal.

“then humor me, livy. what do you see in him?”

his lips twist into a frown deeper than the pit of his envy.

“what about him makes you so willing to sacrifice this institution and your principles.”
