Her need to keep quiet. “Are the rest not suited for this particular knowledge? Surely it would be a boon if utilized properly under the correct circumstances.”[break][break] They observe the Tapu Fini coolly– a flicker of interest glinting through the pale seafoam of their eyes before dissipating. There is a flash of teeth, all cheshire-like coyness. “Unless you deem the rest of the lot unworthy of knowing your cards?” They can understand the desire to be an island unto oneself.[break][break] They are not unlike in this ideal. Fern has always been autonomous–long before they were ever tied with Rocket. Before they ever climbed within the ranking– they maintained their own dealings and enterprise. A one man show.[break][break] It was all that was necessary.[break][break] Still, though, it is scintillating to see an underboss hold such knowledge without divulging to any of the others. Even in confidential reports.[break][break] They tut playfully, their words a chiding coo. “Whatever would our fearless, noble leader think if he discovered this?” Their hand gesticulates in lazy turns, rotating at the wrist as they spin their thoughts. Fingers curling inward to examine their nailbeds until their glance flits up to her again. “Unless at least Walsh knows?”[break][break] “Well, I suppose the report simply has not been sent yet,” one shoulder rises and falls with a simple shrug, unbothered. “Only for those who need know, of course. I find it…distasteful to announce something without a clearer picture of what purpose it will serve. Or why it has tethered itself to me in the first place.”[break][break] It is something they don’t understand. Something a piece of them still resents. “I wish to know why it is here. I am just…biding my time for a moment.” Why them? Though they suppose it may be no more than a case of like calling to like.[break][break] It certainly is a strange bird.[break][break] Another commonality.[break][break] Idly, they watch as Tapu Koko studies Tapu Fini. Like a petulant younger sibling, it chases the darting movements of the prod from the elder. Regardless of what world it comes from, it is consistent even in its petulance. Where Fini is composed, it is frustrated.[break][break] It draws closer, but it is not calm in the way it does not attack. In fact, electricity crawls over its shielded pincer-like arms. At the ready, should it be necessary.[break][break] “This isn’t Hoenn’s Tapu Koko. If that wasn’t already obvious.”[break][break] Elisabeth Fiorelli FERNANDO SILPH // tapu hours[break] [attr="class","star3"] [attr="class","petalpoke"] [attr="class","rouxcredit"] ♠[newclass=.petalbase]font:11px roboto;--accent:#5fb2c9;[/newclass] [newclass=.petalbase]max-width: 450px; height: auto;border: 1px solid #1a1a1a; border-radius: 10px; overflow: hidden; background: #252525; [/newclass] [newclass=.star1]border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0; max-width: 460px; height: 220px; background: url(https://i.imgur.com/zsBjQYG.png), #000; background-blend-mode: screen; background-attachment: fixed; background-size: cover; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center;[/newclass] [newclass=.starimg]width: 100px; height: 100px; position: relative; border-radius: 100%; object-fit: cover;[/newclass] [newclass=.starimg img]height:100px;width:100px;border-radius:100%;[/newclass] [newclass=.star2]width: 350px; padding: 20px; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; color: #eee; margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px; border-radius: 5px;[/newclass] [newclass=.petalpoke]text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; [/newclass] [newclass=.petalpoke img]margin-top:0px; [/newclass] [newclass=.circleoutline1]border-radius: 100%; width: 120px; height: 120px; background: var(--accent); opacity: 0.3; position: absolute; [/newclass] [newclass=.star2 b]font-weight: bold; color:var(--accent);[/newclass] [newclass=.star2 i]padding:1px; text-decoration:italic; color:var(--accent);[/newclass] [newclass=.star3] border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0; max-width: 460px; height: 50px; background: url(https://i.imgur.com/zsBjQYG.png), #000; background-blend-mode: screen; background-attachment: fixed; background-size: cover; display: flex; text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=.rouxcredit]align:right; color:#AB4646; font-size:10px; text-align:right; padding:10px; [/newclass]
