Returning to work in the days following the battle at the Ancient Tomb was surreal. Gunner felt like he hadn't worked in this capacity in two decades, and he possessed a real worry that he'd forgotten how to do everything.[break][break]

Somehow, thankfully, that was not the case. Only occasionally did he stare dumbfounded at something on his computer screen, taking a few seconds for his brain to remember how to find what he was looking for. Missions and operations outside of the office were much easier, on the other hand, the training of a spy ingrained into his body.[break][break]

What he had not expected, however, was a casual interview. The case handler who'd signed him up told him a prospect from the police academy was interested in learning about the Hoenn Bureau of Intelligence and Counterterrorism.[break][break]

Of course, Gunner couldn't share confidential information, but he could talk about what they look for in employees, the kind of public work they do — that sort of thing.[break][break]

At first, he protested, insisting a case handler or even someone from Human Resources would be better suited for this conversation. But he was a senior field agent with several years' worth of experience under his belt. Surely someone from the police academy would want to follow in his footsteps.[break][break]

Which was how Gunner found himself at a café, sipping a latte and waiting at a table for the cadet in question. He'd been given her name and photograph for ease of identification, but she hadn't walked through the door yet.[break][break]

With one eye on the entrance, he passed the time checking his newest AmiGo notifications and sending DMs to interesting matches.

An Interview With A HBIC Agent? Imagine.

[break]

[attr="class","da-cerbmidtop"]

[attr="class","da-cerbpost"]

[break][break]In the unaware defense of her future interviewee/interviewer(?), when she was told she'd be having face time with an actual HBIC agent via e-mail she'd assumed several things other than the truth. Then she had to sign a NDA, have her background checked *deeply*, her department confirm her living address, proof of employment, all other manner of safe guards...*Then* when she drove up early, with hopes to make a good impression, she got a knock on her window. Her drivers license, badge, and prints were checked. They even checked to make sure she wasn't a ditto. A ditto.

[break][break]Finally, in a daze she slowly walked through the doors and awkwardly adjusted her blazer. She was told to leave her phone in the car. So she did. She just relied on her memory where she was supposed to sit and noticed a man sitting there. A little frazzled, she sucked in her breath and calmed down. Then she made her way over while putting away her shades and sat down in the seat opposite of the gentleman at the table.

[break][break]"Mr. Graves?" she spoke carefully, noticing he'd looked a bit busy with his phone.

[break][break]"I'm Officer Cadet Shion Uehara of the Lilycove Police Department. I was...told were to meet today."

[break][break]She offered a faint smile to at least try to look pleasant.

Probably not at all how that works. lol[break]
Eitherway, TL;DR -[break]
Got e-mail confirmation for her interview, thought she was seeing things.[break]
The League Government Bureaucracy quickly ensured her it was very real.[break]
After a jarring start, she's here and ready to interview![break]
She's also scared out of her mind, but only micro-expressions will tell you that.[break]

As soon as he caught sight of Shion Uehara entering the café, Gunner finished the message he was typing out and put his phone on Do Not Disturb. He placed it facedown on the table between them just as she sat down.[break][break]

"Pleased to meet you, Miss Uehara," he said, extending a hand for her to shake. "Yes, you're right on time. Would you like a coffee before we begin?"[break][break]

Though most visitors ordered at the cashier, they could also flag a barista over to their table if needed. Hanging on the wall behind the counter was a large menu, the coffee choices visible from where they were seated.[break][break]

Gunner was in no rush. Besides, he was the one being interviewed, not Shion. She set the pace.

What Are Your Experiences?

[break]

[attr="class","da-cerbmidtop"]

[attr="class","da-cerbpost"]

[break][break]"Sure...That sounds good." She shifted to shake his hand. As if remembering something a grizzled vet used to say to her in the back of her head, she made sure it was a hardy shake at that.

[break][break] When her rear met seat again she flagged down the barista herself. So not to waste time she let her eyes glide down to the first thing that sounded palatable on the menu. 'Medium Roast Alohan Macadamia', that'll do. Then she adjusted in her seat and worked her nerves out. When she was finally ready to ask questions she let their eyes meet and held contact.

[break][break] "I guess I'll go ahead with my questions..." Her back straightened and her fingers interlaced with each other on the table in front of her. She went through each question that came alive in her head and found many to choose from. At least that might have been the atmosphere she briefly gave...Curiosity easily shined in her otherwise neutral gaze.

[break][break] "I understand you won't be able to go into detail for most of my questions. I'll make it plain that I'm only interested in learning what it takes to become HBIC and what kind of people do." she began," My first questions are...When you first took the job, what were your expectations and how did they differ from the actual experience?"

[break][break] There were more coming in her mind as she spoke. She just had the restraint to stop herself. Shion relaxed her shoulders and applied internal patience to wait for her answers and listen to them all the way through to the end. She was highly attentive. Her eyes were primed to catch anything and her ears were fully focused on him. Chances were...this little cadet was going to hang on every word he said.

Gunner sat back in his chair, turning over Shion's question in his mind. He joined the Bureau six years ago. Taking another sip of his latte, he allowed himself a moment to think back and reach for a suitable answer.[break][break]

"There's a lot more paperwork than they advertise," he answered, his lip curling at the joke. "I expected the training that prepares you for working in high risk situations, for meeting foreign contacts, the language study… but I didn't expect the report writing."[break][break]

He chuckled and set down his cup on its saucer.[break][break]

"It's not all fun and games. I would say, the majority of the time, it's not cool stuff. It's very mundane stuff, sometimes stressful, sometimes maddening. You do cool stuff maybe ten percent of the time."[break][break]

Even though he was the interviewee, he could not help but ask a question of his own as he regarded the young woman seated across from him. After all, though his job description did not involve recruitment, he could still scout for talent among the masses.[break][break]

"What interests you about the HBIC?" Gunner asked, eyebrow arched slightly.

A Difference of Agency.

[break]

[attr="class","da-cerbmidtop"]

[attr="class","da-cerbpost"]

[break][break]Shion tilted her head curiously. Although the joke had certainly eased her nerves, even pulled a small laugh from her, the look in her eyes suggested that might have been what she expected. She mulled over her words and thoughts to obtain a way to build to her next question and generally provide her view point at the same time. While she was doing that, his question to her caught her somewhat off guard and added to the stack of things going on inside of her head.

[break][break]"It makes sense.", she starts," You probably have a lot of autonomy due to the width and breadth of your job. I bet there are times the main reason you have the paperwork you do is because you were the only one to witness what happened. I bet reports like that are your main source of paperwork, right?"

[break][break]She gently rested her weight against her table, propping her forearms against its surface.

[break][break]"Ah...What interests me...? Well...the reach, I guess? As an officer cadet my affect on the world and reach to make change is...narrow. Along with only being expected to support those in higher ranks than me, I'm limited in my clearances, I only know so little of what happens on a case, I'm essentially glorified hired help for my precinct." she stops thoughtfully and shrugs simply," This...isn't so much as a complaint as an observation. I know that I have to start small to get anywhere...but I'm starting to realize how small I am. How little my opinion matters or changes the sway of events. So...I guess I'm checking my options to see where I want to go to...help. To bring change."

[break][break]Her gaze slipped down to her coffee once it came. She took a spoon and gently stirred in a little sugar and a single small container of cream. The warm, sweet smelling coffee was sipped and she looked pleased with it. A brief small on an otherwise neutral expression. Her thoughts briefly didn't weigh so heavy in that moment...but just as fast she remembered where she was and what she just stated. She sighs softly and stares a the swirling vortex of sweet brown.

[break][break]"One day I'd like to become a detective like my father...but like him, I'll be meaning to change the world for the better. Can I do that as merely a Lilycove Police Detective? Is the world truly that small?"

Gunner nodded at Shion's question about reports. He did not have much else to say on the subject, so it helped that she answered his question in turn. Sipping his latte, he listened closely to her explanation.[break][break]

"The world is enormous," he said. "But at the same time, it is much smaller than I first realized. What happens in other regions affects us here; what happens here affects the rest of the world."[break][break]

Though he maintained a neutral, serious expression, his thoughts flashed to Kanto and the war six years ago. Beneath the table, the hand resting on his thigh clenched into a fist — but only for a moment. After a few contemplative heartbeats, he relaxed his hand.[break][break]

"A lot of agents come to the HBIC seeking to change the world, so you're not alone," Gunner continued. "I was the same way. I was a foreign affairs analyst for the Department of Defense before changing careers."

[attr="class","da-cerbpost"]

[break][break]Shion would have no idea. Her mind was elsewhere. The gravity of his words casually reawakened memories of nightmares and morbid lists of lives lost. She knew firsthand how even the actions of a few can vastly affect the many. His point was a strong one, and she'd not argue against it.

[break][break]"'Was?'", She watched his expression curiously.

[break][break]"I don't suppose bureaucracy has ruined yet another noble undertaking?", Her question came with humor gently applied.

[break][break]Shion took hold of her coffee mug and held it in both hands, a small sip to stimulate the mind. The agent had given her much to consider and reposition. Quietly, she decided to seek more perspective. Curiosity would be negotiated for knowledge.

[break][break]"Do you feel like your actions help reshape and change the world?"

Gunner raised an eyebrow, meeting Shion's attempt at levity with his trademark seriousness. "I joined the Bureau six years ago," was his explanation for using the past tense. "And we have policies and procedures for a reason."[break][break]

A half-truth. The HBIC abided by some rules, but the League government conveniently looked away when they needed to.[break][break]

By that point, Gunner had finished his coffee. Sitting back in his chair, he crossed his arms over his chest.[break][break]

"I don't feel like they do; I know they do," he said with steely conviction. The look he gave Shion possessed an intensity that exposed the fervor behind his belief.[break][break]

"That's why I continue to do this job, as demanding as it is. It's not a career that just anyone can do. I don't say that to discourage you; quite the opposite. If you feel called to it, you should pursue it."

Proof of a Hero?

[break][break]"I wasn't being serious, Sir."

[break][break]She shook her hook her head with a faint smile. Then she finished off her cup of coffee and sat aside the stirring straw, packets and other such into the cup. Her menu would be set aside neatly under her cup so that the waitress from before could pick it all up in one sweep.

[break][break]Though she might have been distracted, her eyes were fixated on the agent's words as he confirmed what she'd dreamed may be possible. Her eyes widened just a little and the shine of hope sparkled in her gaze. It seemed he'd resolved a major concern she'd had about her own possibilities. The cadet took her time digesting his words before her next set of questions came.

[break][break]"Actually, that's something I'm curious about. What sort of person you feel qualifies for your position? What general skillsets are simply required?"

Gunner watched Shion's eyes widen with hope the way the sky brightened at dawn with the coming of the sun. He could not help but smile at her eagerness. But a tinge of bitterness seeped into his expression.[break][break]

His own entry into the Hoenn Bureau of Intelligence and Counterterrorism had been a thorn-riddled path, devoid of the light of optimism.[break][break]

He shoved those memories away to answer her question. "The required and recommended general skill sets are on the website, of course. A Bachelor's degree in a relevant field of study, a Master's. Experience working or living abroad. Foreign language knowledge."[break][break]

Gunner ticked these off on his fingers, then waved his hand dismissively. Shion could look up the rest online.[break][break]

"What the site won't say is a strong ability to separate one's personal and professional lives. Our work is confidential, even if you don't find yourself on the field. And sometimes it's hard in a way the average citizen can't handle."

[break][break]Invigorated by the chance to make a difference, Shion's overall aura bled a quiet determination. As if she were ticking check boxes on a list, she nodded at the general requirements he rattled off from memory. He was absolutely right. These things were listed on the site and on every recruitment board that had to do with the HBIC. There might have been a hint of Shion not only being aware but having accounted for or have already attained each. It was only when he got to the matters she knew came with tacet understanding, that she attached herself to his words.

[break][break]It was also then that she looked a little curious...

[break][break]"To what degree? Like...Not being able to explicitly explain what your job is to a civilian or how you might have to separate yourself from an identity you undertake while undercover?"

[break][break]A thought seemed to bubble in the back of the cadet's head after her question was posed. Golden brown eyes become distant in that moment as if something nostalgic had just occurred behind them. She returned back to the present and spoke again after a brief contemplative pause. A soft apologetic look would show, just incase her brief 'disappearance' of awareness might have thrown him off. That is if he'd shown any sign of noticing it.

[break][break]"...Do you at least have co-workers you can commiserate with or scheduled therapy sessions? I know psych evals become a thing in higher positions in our department..."
