Shouldn't he have been tasked with this first? Sure, the paradox Pokémon running rampant had been a problem, but surely he hadn't been the only one available to deal with it. According to them, he had been, which was why he was only just now getting a lay of the place despite having been down here before.
[break][break]
Oh well, he supposed there wasn't much to do about it now, even if they were doing things a bit backwards.
[break][break]
Pausing to look down at the paper he had been using to mark down any landmarks, he sighed. Hopefully, this didn't look as bad as he thought it did. Cartography had never been something he had studied.
[break][break]
A noise from his companion Pokémon caused him to look away from his makeshift map and over at the Espeon and Umbreon at his side. They were both alert, as if they heard something or maybe sensed something. Not wanting to take any chances, he decided to call out.

"who's asking?"

[break][break] caden's voice called back, feeling particularly petulant in that moment. because he hadn't wanted to be here, certainly not alone, but this was just another one of those occasions when marcus kotov wielded his superiority over him, telling him to go in his steed simply because he didn't want to.

[break][break] the grunt walked languidly out of the shadow and into view. from a distance, it wouldn't really seem like he was a team rocket grunt. after all, caden refused to wear that ugly uniform.

[break][break] he wore a clean, black sweater that looked like it was made of 100% cotton, slacks, and fashionable black gloves. his hair was perfect coiffed. it looked almost like he was out of place here, which he probably was.

[break][break] beside him, his hypno blinked owlishly at the other man.

Of course, Mikael didn't answer. He wouldn't until he at least saw what the person looked like, knew what kind of person he was dealing with. The guy could be an axe murderer after all. Well, maybe not. But still...
[break][break]
The person in question finally stepped out of the shadows, and he immediately took in the older male's clothes. He was dressed nicely, a little too nicely. Someone from money, then. His own jeans and sweater seemed out of place next to the other male but probably made him seem more fit for this kind of environment than the other male.
[break][break]
"My name's Mikael," he said at last before continuing. "It's dangerous here," he told him, seeming a bit concerned. It was clear that he thought he was a civilian.
[break][break]
Of course, he was well aware of the fact that the government was allowing civilians to explore what Area Zero had to offer, not that he approved. In fact, he still felt civilians should stay far away from this place.
[break][break]
To distract himself from saying something that could be considered distracting, he looked around. His eyes landed on what appeared to be an indentation in the ground. Frowning, he moved closer to see what it was, only to be faced by tracks.
[break][break]
Crouching down, he studied the tracks more closely, only to come to the conclusion that the tracks weren't familiar.[break] caden maher

'mikael, huh,' caden thought, committing the name to memory.

[break][break] "dangerous?" he said, deciding to play innocent. it would be fun to see what the other person knew. or rather... who the other person was. "if it's so dangerous, what're you doing out here?"

[break][break] caden followed the other man to where there was an indentation in the ground. unfortunately, the markings didn't look familiar to him either.

[break][break] thinking on his feet, he grabbed his phone and snapshot a few pictures.

[break][break] he got the back of mikael rosenberg in the process.

[break][break] "are you tracking something?" he guessed.

"Yeah, there are a lot of powerful Pokémon down here. Not your run-of-the-mill Pokémon," he said, busy scanning their surroundings for potential dangers, unaware that the innocence was faked. However, upon hearing the question, he turned his attention to the other male.
[break][break]
He thought about the best way to answer. He didn't really want to admit he was an officer. Don't get him wrong, he loved his job, but he wasn't in the mood to get into a discussion about his career. It involved one thing he didn't care for: talking about himself.
[break][break]
If not that, he supposed he could tell a bit of the truth. With that in mind, he spoke. "Back in my homeland, I was trained as a knight, so I'm used to dangerous situations," he said with an air of someone who wasn't used to talking about himself, or maybe just didn't like it.
[break][break]
The tracks momentarily grabbed his attention, and he studied them before responding. "In a sense, I don't plan on tracking them down. The chasm is massive; one could easily get lost if they're not careful. That, and tracks could belong to a really powerful Pokémon or lead you into a trap," he said before directing his attention to the other male.
[break][break]
"Anyway, I don't think I got your name, unless you want to be called 'hey you'," he commented, the last part being said jokingly.[break] caden maher

'a knight, huh.'

[break][break] "you're a transplant from galar?"

[break][break] caden blinked. it wasn't like such things were uncommon, especially within rocket's ranks, but it was not exactly something that people came across the in the day-to-day. caden didn't press further though — either because he could sense it was something that the other didn't wish to talk about, or he simply didn't care.

[break][break] "if not tracking, then, what are you doing here?"

[break][break] finally, when the question was turned to him, the rocket grunt was forced to answer. he gave a careless shrug of his shoulders.

[break][break] "you can call me dr. maher."

[break][break] if the other was going to be elusive in his own answers, then caden would too.

While he might not always be the most forthcoming, as a rule, he didn't lie. So upon hearing the other's question, he immediately shook his head before responding. "I see how you would think that, but no, not from Kalos either," he commented, adding the Kalos part before any question could be asked.
[break][break]
He didn't like talking about his home region. It brought up too many bad memories. Forever soured due to what had gone down. It also brought forth a lot of emotions that he just didn't want to deal with or didn't like dealing with.
[break][break]
"If I was by myself, I wouldn't mind tracking it down to see what it is, but as a rule, I won't put another person's life in danger," he commented as he stood up from his crouched position. In other words, he didn't care if he put his own life in danger, but he wouldn't put someone else's life in danger.
[break][break]
He refused to be the cause of someone getting hurt.
[break][break]
Fear flooded him at the thought of once again failing to protect someone. Images flashed through his mind of his brothers and his friends, them getting cut down before his eyes. He hadn't been enough to protect them.
[break][break]
The other's voice broke through his dark thoughts, and he turned, giving the other male a small smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Maher."
[break][break]
"Anyway, I came down here to map out the place," he said, remembering the other's original question and how he hadn't fully answered the question.[break] caden maher

"believe it or not, i can take care of myself."

[break][break] caden didn't seem to be bothered by the other's assumption. after all, it wasn't like he looked the part these days — rocket had made sure to beat that out of him. not that, of course, this man needed to know the details.

[break][break] "in fact, i might be able to even be a little helpful, if given the chance."

[break][break] he nods towards him.

[break][break] "what do you say to mapping out the place together?"

[break][break] or at least, caden would pretend to. for the moment. this would all be easier if he could get the other guy to do all the work for him, and then he could take it back to headquarters and pretend like he'd done it himself.

He had become bad at assuming things. Thankfully, the guy didn't seem offended even as he told him he could defend himself. "Sorry, I can get a little carried away with the whole protective thing. Old habits," he said with a small shrug.
[break][break]
To some extent, he reminded him of his younger brother. The one a few years younger than himself. Always acting tough, claiming he could take care of himself. That's where the similarities ended though. Unlike Dr. Maher, his brother would've pouted if Mikael had even implied that he couldn't take care of himself.
[break][break]
"Well, if you're sure you won't mind, I'll take you up on that offer," he said warmly as he took out a piece of paper. It showed signs of already having been started.
[break][break]
Showing him the map, he indicated where the entrance was before tracing a line with his finger to show where they were at. "It's not great, but it shows the basics. I'm better at reading maps than drawing them."
[break][break]
The map itself actually wasn't bad. However, Mikael, being a perfectionist when it came to stuff like this, would never admit he had done a good job.
[break][break]
"Now, if you're ready, we should head further in," he said, waiting for a response before starting to head further down.[break] caden maher

Caden was pouting, but Caden was also good at hiding his emotions on his sleeve. He was no CIAN MAHER, after all.

[break][break] "Hm."

[break][break] He peered at the map, deciding to commit it to memory anyways. He doubted it would be very helpful, considering this was just a civilian's representation, but who knew, right? Maybe he'd be able to copy it when it got back to HQ.

[break][break] The Rocket grunt nodded towards him, lips twisted into a smirk.

[break][break] "Sounds good to me. Lead the way, Mr. Cartographer."

[break][break] Caden gestured for the other man to lead the way. He could follow him for a while and then slip away when he wasn't looking. Easy stuff.
