THEO BECKETT finds him in the makeshift medic tent, tending to his own wounds. marcus gives him perfunctory acknowledgement in the form of a glance as the tent flap opens, then returns to peeling charred fabric away from his injury.
[break][break]
"any news?" he asks, gritting his teeth as his uniform tugs at burnt skin. "something good, preferably?"

[attr="class","beckmain"]INTERDREAM MIST is left behind in favor of tending to a friend.

whether the news is good or bad is left for marcus to decide on. theo shares what he has in the same typical manner that he does: stoic and absent.

"we are making good progress. the line has moved forward, but the league still holds."

his sygna suit deactivates as he approaches, wasting no time to tend to the wounds.

"let me help," he says as care creeps into his voice.

"good," he murmurs distractedly. "progress is progress — the league will tire eventually."
[break][break]
he hesitates, then relents to the note of worry in THEO BECKETT 's voice. he doesn't need the help, but he finds himself flipping the tweezers over in his hand and holding them out for the underboss to take. [break][break]
"here."[break][break]
a beat. [break][break]"i've gotten rusty."[break][break]

[attr="class","beckmain"]but will the league tire before rocket do? his belief in his own organization has not wavered in the past but it has now. he keeps this to himself, however, as he tends to marcus' wounds.

"i see as much."

he shakes his head.

"we'll have to toughen you up."

marcus breathes out the ghost of a laugh at the blunt concession THEO BECKETT gives him. it cuts off short against his teeth as pain radiates through his arm. [break][break]"i'm not sure you can. at least — not against the man who gave me this."[break][break]his eyes catch his shoulder in his peripheral, indicating to his injury. [break][break]"he threw a bolt of lightning at me."[break][break]

the corner of his mouth twitches, but he doesn't give THEO BECKETT the satisfaction of seeing him frown. [break][break]"perhaps."[break][break]
he humors the theory, despite everything, if only to make a remark of his own: [break][break] "you should savor your youth, in that case — you're only a couple years away from joining me and the other geriatric rockets."

[attr="class","beckmain"]"i will."

he remarks back as he finishes cleaning the wound. it's crude work but it'll do for now. they don't have much options during war, after all.

after setting the equipment back down, he sighs, admitting a truth to marcus.

"i didn't think i'd live this long."

"nor did i."
[break][break]
they live a precarious lifestyle. marcus has long since held the belief that there is no kind end for men like them — they would die before their time like the others, or be captured by the league. maybe even both, for particularly unfortunate rockets. [break][break]
"but we're alive nonetheless."
[break][break]
he does a cursory inspection of his wound. THEO BECKETT has none of his finesse, but it looks clean and dry.
[break][break]
"do you want to talk about it?" he asks dryly. "or is now not the time?"

[attr="class","beckmain"]it isn't the time, no, and he's unsure how much of it they have regardless. he spares a glance over his shoulder, peering through the flaps of their tent to the encroaching INTERDREAM MIST.

"what is there to talk about?"

"everything?"[break][break]the war. the takeover in hoenn. THEO BECKETT's bleak outlook despite sitting near the top of the ladder. he doesn't notice the interdream mist approaching the tent — he only sees the man in front of him. [break][break]"but your attitude would be an excellent starting point."

[attr="class","beckmain"]"as much as i appreciate our conversations..."

he says as he fishes for pokeballs on his belt, popping them open to counter the PARADOX POKEMON that spawn from the mist. the MEGA BAND around his arm that looks overused glows once more.

"talking changes nothing."

marcus catches onto the issue as THEO BECKETT pulls a pokeball from his belt, eyes moving from the underboss' waist to the paradox pokemon bundling out of the interdream mist towards the tent. fine, he thinks, they can table the talking for later. he's sure he and his salamence don't need it, but —[break][break]"let me help you."[break][break]and then his houndoom is sent out, growling low as the paradox pokemon comes closer.

[attr="class","beckmain"]he would have tried harder to save the houndour—it was a gift from marcus kotov, after all, being from the same litter as the houndoom before them—but what is the point? pokemon die all the time. this one makes no difference.

confined to this medical tent, they watch their pokemon fight battle after battle, fending off waves of PARADOX POKEMON until their pokemon are no more.

houndour has died. both salamence and houndoom have fainted. but they are safe.
