"We're not talking about school. Just because the tactic works for humans that will never see battle doesn't mean it applies to pokemon who's entire co-existence with humans at this point hinges on battling and a status as pets."

She looks away from him and scrunches her eyebrows, not because she has a problem with what he said but because she' just flabbergasted she even has to point that out to him at all.

"And that method leaves a gap. Isolate and exploit."

She says nothing else, waiting for his response.

"And the variables and context influence the outcome." she narrows her eyes at him, determined as ever. "Is that a challenge to battle fernando?" though her face is stern her tone is almost more playful about the idea. She's neither for or against it really, but she's willing to prod at him all the same.

"Attitudes like that are how giants fall flat on their faces." she retorts because if she doesn't say something different they will end up talking in circles that she doesn't feel like falling into. "I do." Isra doesn't even know why she feels the need to be huffy about it but she does- and she blames fernando entirely for it.

she almost snorts in response, reigning herself in just in time. It's almost hilarious how he gets some times and she cant decide if its a good or bad thing. Probably bad but the rest of her life gives her nothing better to do with her time than be entertained by him.

"Even if someone did knock you down you wouldn't admit it." fact. She's doesn't bother with clarifying because it's every bit a part of his demeanor.

"and sucks for you, these heels are taller than your attitude and if they can't put me flat on my face you definitely can't either."

She sticks her tongue out at him like a child at play. No part of her it taking the challenge seriously even if she should. It's not even really to prove the point now, now it's just fun.

Nothing in his response surprises her, not even a little bit. It all reeks heavily of Fernando and his typical attitude and demeanor. Something Isra has grown used to and in some ways fond of. Others not so much.

"That sounds rather ominous, planning to take over the world next Fernando? No wonder these space beasts are so damning to you." the amused chuckle is likely a familiar one, laughing at her own joke. Something she finds herself doing only in his presence- likely in the hopes of annoying him because even when something should be giving her a red flag she doesn't take it to heart. Isra seems thoroughly unbothered by him at this point.

"I'll be waiting for the day you do then, so I can make sure to knock you off your throne." Isra is grinning, amused below the painted surface of her gestures. Perhaps because the idea of it makes it worth her while to follow him around until he gets there. There is little more satisfying than taking a king's crown and Isra would be more than willing to try. Though she thinks Fernando would take such things far too seriously.

Isra blinks.

Not at what he says but at the fact he dares to point his finger at her.

"Are you really doing that Fernando?"

She leaves the discussion of ferocious aliens behind because to her they are a threat on paper and in a vague space of reality that she had not witnessed. A distorted view that could only be brought into focus if she witnessed them first hand which she had not. She had seen the destruction but even then, until she sees what is left of mossdeep in full for herself it holds no true merit.

"I really hope that I don't have to wait that long, that means going to the same old people home together and dealing with you yelling when I shove you and your old man bones off that throne." she's half amused and half horrified at the idea.
