[attr="class","illeana i"]she does not wait for his schedule to clear up.

on the contrary, she enters his office regardless of what his secretary says - an assertion of dominance she doesn't have.

"councilman."

her greeting is restrained, void of pleasantries. this is work, this is professionalism, this is what ruins remain of them now.

"i have new updates on the rifts from the league laboratories."

a beat passes.

"do you have a moment?"

“REYES,” he answers without missing a beat. there’s no alarm in his reaction. just the same unbothered acceptance that comes with hoenn’s natural cycle. as if he expected her all along.

“indeed.”

he clears his throat, thrums a few more keys, before diverting his attention past his monitor and onto her.

“especially if it carries the same urgency you do.”

[attr="class","illeana i"]"alright, then."

she chooses to ignore the urgency remark, leaving it on the floor to die.

"the dimensional pocket beneath rustboro has shown signs of alteration to its structures. there was a feeling of a shifted space and clear signs of disruption to silver spire's ruins."

her eyes spark briefly, light returning with the concepts. it fades as quickly as it comes for it does not belong here - not in front of him and his judgement.

"we found evidence of spatial gaps within the ruins as well. there was pink glowing energy repairing them and when touched... they produced the sensation of repairing space."

she doesn't mention lesser megalopolis. not yet.

“AH,” he says with lukewarm reception. “do we have any insight as to the cause of the disruption?”

he blinks, eye rolling in recollection. two thought pop into his mind but he suffocates them before they can surface.

“or the spatial gap?”

[attr="class","illeana i"]she hums. it's a slightly pleasant sound.

"it's likely sea hoenn utilized the ruins somehow, whether to stop the meteor or for something else, but the exact reasoning is undetermined at the moment. we'd have to conduct further expeditions to be certain."

the spatial gaps, however, are a new development... one she can't quite wrap her head around just yet.

"the pink energy in the spatial gaps had been similar to what mt pyre saw during the meteor operation. my best guess would be palkia repairing breaks in space-time."

that brings her to her other point...

"i found the same pink energy within spatial gaps in lesser megalopolis as well."

“HM.”

as good a guess as any other. yet, he can’t shake the doubt that rises from her statement. on paper, it’s sound. there’s nothing wrong with her path of thinking. but here he is.

something strikes a nerve. as if the words do not match in that particular order. an annoying prick he can’t quite shake off.

which is fine. they have time. discovery leads to unraveling. it’s merely a matter of when and to what extent.

“how did they react when you attacked them,” he asks genuinely.

she blinks, confusion quick to rise.

"touching the pink glow in the dimensional pocket produced an odd sensation on your fingers, though."

is that what he's looking for?

or is it simply just for wrong-doing on her part... again?

“OH?”

his surprise is paramount to the punchline of the jab that’s undetected.

“well, that’s progress then. good work.”

his eye lingers back to his monitor.

“was there anything else there, reyes?”

[attr="class","illeana i"]she nods and begins to step away.

"thank you."

before she goes, however, she brings one last mention to the table. an oddity or a delusion, perhaps, though she isn't certain which.

"i could feel the altered space of the dimensional pocket where Eva Morales could not."

she's quiet for a moment. uncertain, even.

"it was like the center of gravity was several degrees off. that should be everything of note, now."

IN A TWO PERSON PARTY, how can they confirm what one feels and the other does not? there needs to be a third to bear witness. a clear divide between two evenly split sides. which makes her comment noted but far from credible.

“i presume you’ll be writing the report then?”

[attr="class","illeana i"]"yes."

well...

"unless you'd prefer i defer to Eva Morales instead?"

a pointed concept, if she stops to think about it. the ruins between them breed distrust for her experiences, for her word even in the confines of an official written report.

"if not, it'll be on your desk by tomorrow morning."

“NO,” he dismisses with his attention fully devoted back to his computer. “if morales cannot feel this disturbance then there’s no point. you can provide the details more accurately than anyone else.”

which marks a tiny spot on his calendar. he dots it with her expected turnaround time of tomorrow morning.

“i just need to know who i will be discussing it with over dinner tomorrow.”

he dots the straight line of his mouth with a tiny curl. the small inch of a smile.

“which aligns perfectly since morales already had me booked.”

one that he hides almost immediately.

“anything else, reyes?”
