"You don't understand anything about me," she retorted, slightly irritated by the audacity of his suggestion.[break][break]

The proximity of the enclosure was stifling, and she shifted uncomfortably, counting down the seconds until they returned to the ground.[break][break]

Was insulting her sanity meant to be flattering?[break][break]

"And the only reason I understand you," she continued, tapping her fingers restlessly against the side of the seat, "is because men like you are all the same."[break][break]

Predictable, self-interested, boring. Always taking, taking, taking.[break][break]

The memory of Mt. Chimney entered her mind unbidden, of bubbling lava pools and a hand fastened on her throat.[break][break]

"I should throw you out of this Ferris Wheel," came an abrupt, distant observation.

he interjects at the same time as her, spilling words with similar inflections as when she says it.[break][break]

"Maybe declan walsh would promote me," she said with a shrug. "I'm curious. What bounty is the head of Elite Four MATIAS SILPH worth these days?"[break][break]

His mocking imitation of her went ignored, save for the slightest clench of her jaw, followed by a soft 'tch' that hissed through her teeth.[break][break]

'Partners.' She wouldn't have used that word.[break][break]

"It's a temporary arrangement. I wouldn't get too comfortable."

he shrugs.[break][break]

"a lot, i imagine. i've killed many of your kind, one of the underbosses included, and i'll kill many more, hopefully until there's none of you left. that's the fucking dream."[break][break]

if there's anyone capable of doing such a thing, surely it would be him.[break][break]

at the mention of being comfortable, he shifts closer.[break][break]

"i already am."[break][break]

"...How charming," she remarked drily, shoving him away as he made his advance. "It's good to know your comfort comes at the expense of my own."[break][break]

Boundaries seemed to be a recurring issue with him. She'd have to do something about that, at some point, if this treasonous arrangement was to be useful in any capacity.[break][break]

"You do realize killing Rocket isn't on my agenda?"[break][break]

The end of this ride couldn't come fast enough.

he's shoved away, and though his natural instinct is to lean back in, he stops himself for the moment, laughing instead.[break][break]

"yeah but you're not really one of them, are you? i know you've pledged your allegiance to their flag but that's not who you are. you're just using them."[break][break]

his observation is shared.[break][break]

"No more than you are a Leaguer as an Elite Four," was her cool reply, an eyebrow lifted. "But I know where I get my power and influence from. I'm not so stupid to think I'd have gotten as far on my own."[break][break]

Half of her expected him to push back, and a quiet exhale of relief left her when he didn't. She didn't return his laughter, though, as a quizzical glance answered him instead.[break][break]

"You can say I'm not one of them all you like, but when all is said and done, my corpse is a victory for your side. Regardless of my motivations, I am what I am."

that much should have been clear from their conversation in the woods. how he would easily cast the league away in his pursuit for more power and control.[break][break]

he frowns.[break][break]

"We're both selfish, Matias. In the end, the person you can always trust most is yourself."[break][break]

The Ferris Wheel finally slowed to its conclusion, and Elisabeth arose from her seat, descending back on the ground as his unexpected confession rattled oddly in her mind. It rang false to her, to imagine MATIAS SILPH grieving the loss of a wanted underboss who all of Hoenn realistically would prefer to see rot and die in prison.[break][break]

What were these theatrics supposed to accomplish? Was she meant to believe his concern was genuine?[break][break]

That seemed a purposeless goal, given she'd already agreed to work alongside him for their own ends.[break][break]

"I suppose you're right about one thing," she admitted, glancing up at him. "We're more useful to one another alive than dead."

and so, their capsule arrives back down, and as per usual, he follows after her, choosing to stick close to her side as they make their way past queueing patrons.[break][break]

"we'd be more useful to each other once you stop pushing me away."[break][break]

he leans his shoulder into her.[break][break]

He'd expect the absence of warmth that would follow her retreat from him, withdrawing into herself so that his gesture met empty air.[break][break]

"I said one ride, Matias," she scolded him. "Does wearing women down always give you what you want?"[break][break]

A click of her tongue signaled her disapproval as she walked through the carnival with unmistakable intent, her eyes locked on the approaching exit.[break][break]

"I don't see why you're intent on complicating our arrangement," she continued, clearly exasperated. "The less entangled we are with one another personally, the more successful it will be."[break][break]

Both physically and emotionally, to her mind. It baffled her that he kept insisting on intertwining those two aspects into matters between them.[break][break]

"You should know better than most how quickly those situations spiral out of control."

her first question goes ignored as they meander their way through the carnival before eventually nearing the exit.[break][break]

His nonchalance held so much certainty it elicited a slow, amused smile that crept across her lips.[break][break]

"And you're over-confident. You assume you're untouchable, when you aren't."[break][break]

He made his own vulnerabilities so blindingly apparent, it astonished her sometimes. The more time she spent with the man, the less powerful he seemed to her.[break][break]

That observation would probably be an unwelcome one, she figured.[break][break]

"Just because you think you're uncomplicated, doesn't mean the rest of us are."

"oh but i am untouchable."[break][break]

he's quick to retort even when a part of him knows that he isn't, that he's mortal and vulnerable just like everyone else.[break][break]

it's a tiny part of him, though.[break][break]
