When she opened the door he could see the mask, because it was one that he wore all the time himself. It was the one he wore when meeting with clients, business partners, or females that he wanted to take home for the night. One look at her, and he knew that she wasn't really smiling, but instead he smiled back, his usual charming smile.

"Hello Elinor...." His voice was lower, things had changed him in Galar. Instead of speaking further he held out the bouquet to her still smiling gently. "I thought perhaps to pay you a visit....I know things have been....Rough...." That was an understatement he knew exactly what she had been through. Though if he said he was sorry it would seem shallow, pedantic, and like he was just trying to pander to her.

In contrast he was dressed in his usual black kalosian suit. A red handkerchief in his breast pocket, and only one pokeball at his belt. It was a sign of how much he trusted her that only brought one pokemon. Whether she knew that or not.

"May I come in...?" He asked her simply with a tilt of his head.

He observed the room, and he found his brow furrowing with worry. Even in his large mansion, everything saw some use at some point or another. This however, this was disconcerting, and he wondered just how much damage she had taken. Had anyone come to check on her? Did anyone care? Another layer of hatred was added to his heart for the League, but he let it settle quietly. Standing in the living room he didn't hesitate he didn't want to put her off, and so he sat down on the sofa resting one arm on the rest, and just gazing at her.

"I have been better, and I have been worse. As you well know...." She had visited him after his incident with Melody Miro. Well he had sort of summoned her, but she had come nonetheless. One good turn deserved another, and Amor never forgot acts of kindness. "I may or may not have pissed off some of my associates by attacking one of them at his club during a celebration...." He spoke with an easy smile. She was one of the few people who knew that he had joined Rocket, so she would understand. "So it would seem that I am a little volatile....But that is nothing new." It wouldn't be the first time he attacked someone recklessly, and it certainly wouldn't be the last.

"How about you....How are you....?" When he asked the question his tone shifted, it was serious, lower, and softer. Amor didn't let the worry show on his face, or in his voice, but he saw the state of her. Her clothes were messy, but her living was clean from disuse. She must've been driving herself mad in this place, at least that's how it appeared to him. If no one was helping her....Then he would.

"I figured as much....This place looks far to clean...." He stated to her, and then he just wrapped his arm around her, and pulled her in for a hug. Of course he knew she had the rough of it, being tortured for information, being busted out, and then getting let go of your position. That would do a number on someone, and he realized she had been here facing it all alone. It didn't feel like others had visited her, it didn't even look like anyone cared. Which only made him despise the League further. For them to do this to one of their own. "I think you should just let it all out....I can tell it's been gouging you out...." Elinor was a strong woman, and he wondered if she had truly just let it all go yet?

If she had then him hugging her like this was going to be very awkward for the both of them, but he was committed now. So he gave her a literal shoulder to cry on.

"I'm sorry I didn't find out about your captivity sooner....I would have done something...." What he could have done at that time as a mere grunt he didn't know, but he would have figured something out. "I'm sorry I didn't visit sooner...." It was genuine, despite him having come here to brag, she was a friend in need. Perhaps he could give her this one small comfort to make the rest of her days easier.

Everyone needed a little help every once in a while, she was no exception to that, and so he gave her the chance to simply let the dam fully break. Even if she didn't he was still gonna hug her, the way her voice had sounded....She needed one.
