Mei wrinkled her nose. The air was thick with humidity. Sweat beaded on the back of her neck and along her hairline; she much preferred the crisp cold of the Silent Icelands. This felt far too much like descending into hell for her liking.[break][break]
"I suppose I ought to feel shocked that there's an entire rainforest beneath the surface of our region," she remarked dryly. "But compared to those other rifts, it's rather mundane, wouldn't you say?"[break][break]
She still remembered the burning eyes of the dead, the way they groped for her with greedy, incorporeal fingers. It made her skin crawl.[break][break]
The man next to her cut an elegant figure. She knew him - not well, but enough to know he liked to drink alone. Too confident to be socially awkward, too handsome to go ignored. Expensive wines meant he had fine taste, or...[break][break]
He's trying to impress someone, she decided, though she had a feeling he could defend his choices with a sommelier's tongue.[break][break]
"I'm not sure we were ever properly introduced," she began. The opening steps of a dance she knew by heart. Suspicions circled beneath a sultry smile. "I've seen you quite a bit at my roommate's casino, but she hasn't mentioned you. Perhaps she hasn't mentioned me, either."[break][break]
She dipped her head.[break][break]
"Mei Liu, at your service."[break][break]

his hair is up in a loose tie, but that doesn't stop the humidity from dewing the back of his neck. his sportwear is breathable on account of it not being standard-issued rocket wear. he can be light on his feet when he needs to be, but he's by no means a hardened explorer or hand-to-hand combatant. 

that's what his pokemon are for. 

"i'd agree, but what lay beyond the rifts are technically far away from hoenn, no? this is here. an entire ecosystem, right under our noses."

was it here the entire time? 

ianthe has taken immediately to the escort, which he wasn't prepared for, as ianthe doesn't take to anyone. crown has fallen right into step behind her sister, as she is want to do, and nikkari gives her a look-over when he can, while they walk.

he's seen her around the casino before, but that's not how he knows her name. or her profession. or her history. had left him breadcrumbs and he'd picked up the rest of the pieces with his network, so he's more than prepared when she dips her head. 

"nikkari hect," he replies mildly, "and she mentioned her roommate, yes. apologies for not making a proper introduction before. i get a bit absorbed with my work."

The demanding Alolan Vulpix nudged Mei's leg, and without missing a beat, she scooped the little white fox into her arms.[break][break]
"What a darling," she commented, sincerely enamored. Her own Ares was a haughty fellow, and she recognized the same vanity reflected in this one's dark eyes. A trait of the species, perhaps.[break][break]
If Nikkari wanted her to unhand his Pokemon, he would say so. Until then, she would scratch behind the Alolan Vulpix's ears, allowing her to survey their surroundings from a higher vantage point. Beside them, Boreas fluttered his wings in a restless manner, antennae attuning to the new environment. Luckily for Mei, he was not a jealous creature.[break][break]
So, Yumi had mentioned her, and even a comment made in passing was a sign that the other woman had taken notice of Nikkari. Yumi was not the sort to waste a single breath on someone she deemed unworthy, so this man had done something to impress her: enough to earn an entire conversation, it seemed.[break][break]
"And what sort of work would that be?"[break][break]
She could guess. His clothing was utilitarian - expedition into uncharted territory appropriate - but the brands were higher-end. Well-made. He struck her as intelligent, with an undercurrent of weariness - too many late nights, perhaps. He lacked the authoritative aura of politics, but he wasn't lacking for confidence. A business man, then.[break][break]

ianthe is a spoiled rotten prince. to see her swept up in mei's arms colors surprise on nikkari's face, but her hackles are flat, ears relaxed. even her tail wriggles with joy? as mei scratches her behind the ears. the frosmoth makes him think she has an affinity for ice-types, but this is more than that. 

"property management," he says promptly and flashes an endearing smile as he strides a couple paces ahead to hold back an overgrown monstera leaf in their path. 

"you have a keen eye, don't you, miss liu? what else do you think it is i do?"

Property management. Of course.[break][break]
She ducked beneath the leaf, his chivalry appreciated - construed or not. She shielded his Alolan Vulpix from stray branches, just in case. Mei suspected the little ice fox was about as pleased to be in this wretched jungle as she was, sweltering as it was.[break][break]
Beyond, there was a waterfall. Scenic, she supposed. Perhaps they'd be able to take a moment to cool off, stick their feet in the rushing water. She regretted wearing boots.[break][break]
"Do I?" She mused pleasantly. So he knows, she decided. She couldn't blame Yumi for telling him, if she had. It wasn't like she was ashamed. She serviced men like him all the time, the only thing separating him from them was timing.[break][break]
"Very well," she could entertain him now, for free. A little reward for taking interest in her closest friend, and doing so respectfully. "I think you get people what they want." She paused. "The more important they are, the better."[break][break]

bits of debris from tera crystals falls beside them once while they walk and he's taken by the shimmering flakes of dust it leaves behind. by the time they come upon the pool, he's drained his water bottle. all of them look as though they're ready to strip bare and dive into the oasis, save for crown. she's thriving right now. 

ianthe does manage to wriggle free so she can cool off her toes in the water. nikkari crouches down by the water and fills his canteen, only after crown has sniffed a couple of times and deemed it safe. 

"like i said, a keen eye." he takes a generous swig and then offers it up to mei. "but take that a step further. why do i have such an interest in miss hasegawa?"

She stripped off her boots, rolled up her pants, and sighed audibly with relief as she dipped her feet into the water. Boreas floated over, ice forming around Mei's ankles as his wingtips made contact with the pool, now several degrees colder. A grateful smile, a pat on his head. "Thank you, love."[break][break]
She took the offered canteen, drank deeply. She bent over to refill it as Nikkari played his hand.[break][break]
"She's beautiful," Mei answered immediately, eyes bright with amusement. "And she demands attention. What man would ignore her?"[break][break]
Straightening, the escort leaned back against a rock, staring up at the canopy of trees overhead. Dappled light filtered through from above, and if she didn't know any better, she would never have guessed they were miles and miles underground.[break][break]
"You see great potential in her," Mei continued, more seriously. Long lashes fluttered, and she turned her seafoam gaze on him once more. "She inspires loyalty by having high standards. She is willing to be patient for perfection, rather than settle on speedier - and perhaps, easier - paths to power."[break][break]
A playful grin spread across her lips.[break][break]
"And I think you find that captivating."[break][break]

their cohabitation makes more and more sense to nikkari with every word that drops from mei's mouth. yumi can afford a place on her own, should she so desire, and he'd assumed, rightfully so, that her chosen roommate would e just as interesting as the woman herself.

at her insinuations, he raises a brow. she's fetching, certainly, but he's somewhat disappointed that she reads his desires with a want for anything remotely having to do with the flesh.

throes of passion, if he so wanted, could be bought. infatuation comes with attachment; like flyaway hairs, brushed away but their tickling sensation left upon the skin. he says, "i find powerful people captivating when their dynasties were built by their own hands." water slips through his own as he skims the surface of the pool.

"and i'm a filthy opportunist at my core," he says, showing teeth. "i spent a great deal of my life sitting on the sidelines and reporting to my betters. would you know how many times i've seen the kindling of an empire snuff out before it can catch?"

"Too many times," she answered softly.[break][break]
She'd seen it in the bedrooms of royalty, in the after parties of executives, in the charity banquets of politicians. Secrets whispered in her ear as hands groped for supple flesh; conversations had without regard for the pretty eye-candy on the arm of someone worth speaking to. She'd watched so many men and women crumble under the weight of their own scheming before they'd ever had a chance to build.[break][break]
"You and I are not so different," she decided, twisting so that she could face him. If her feet were growing numb due to the icy water, she didn't seem to notice.[break][break]
"I, too, take advantage of the rich and powerful whenever it suits me. And it often does."[break][break]
She examined her nails, running her thumb over the tips of the acrylic manicure.[break][break]
"But if it ends up suiting you to hurt Yumi, I will kill you."[break][break]

they aren't so different. it's what makes nikkari believe every word of her threat; his smile maintains itself. one hand brushes some of the grit from their travels off of his shoulder. he stretches languidly, like a cat, and his gathered hair swings like a pendulum between his shoulder blades. 

"there is no equity in a partnership. not in totality." someone, inevitably, gives more. takes more. relationships are malleable intricacies. "but only the weak stand to benefit from wetting her flame.

"and besides, i still have a moral compass, miss liu."
