[attr="class","snub-greyson"]"A mercy. My first, and last."

An offer of goodwill elicits curiosity, and the question has his pausing for a moment.

Katherine Fairburne? Why..?

He recalls a conversation with Melody Miro only days prior—though it certainly felt like weeks.

"No." A truth. "She up and disappeared— " Another truth. "—So quickly she left everything behind."

A lie.

everything?

as per usual, his expression betrays little. it does not even falter at the revelation that all of her possessions were left behind, meaning they now fall under league custody. that also means they're being kept somewhere. the options are limited; he could narrow it down easily.

he leaves the thought for later.

"why do you think she disappeared?"

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]It's a question he's considered multiple times before—less for Katherine Fairburne than others, but inevitably her name falls into the mix.

Under the guise of nonchalance he sudies Theo but can discern nothing profound; nevertheless, like the wind, the simple act of seeing something wasn't necessarily believing.

"War sucks." It's simple. "We can bullshit all we want, but let's be real—this shit wears you down." Small traces of his were visible on his face, in the sinking of his shoulders, the twitch of his fingers.

"Didn't strike you so concerned for Fairburne. Old friends from Rocket then?"

"unfinished business, rather."

his answer serves as a deflection from the truth. as much as he's offered the elite four today, it would be foolish to reveal more of his hand, so he keeps his interest in the DISTORTION WORLD to himself.

instead, he shifts to what's before him: an elite four with traces of war despite being so green.

"i wonder," he starts, "how long will it take for war to wear you down the same?"

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]"Mm." He pauses for a moment seemingly to study Theo before physically waving it off. Better to let the Underboss think he suspects little.

"I wouldn't get your hopes up." He intones as he checks his watch, frowning at the time. His eyes lift and with it one of the corners of his mouth. "The death of Velmos should clue you into my resolve, shouldn't it?"

the mention of VELMOS stirs up unwanted emotions though none more prominent than the innate desire for vengeance. an eye for an eye, as they say, and on that fateful day in the prison, greyson removed an important piece off the board, weakening their position by doing so.

"an unfortunate death, but a necessary one, i'm hoping, to act as a catalyst to some of our personnel."

grudges are held; theo is no different.

"you've given them a personal stake in the war to come. best be prepared for what's to come, elite four connors."

which he's sure greyson will be.

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]He physically waves away Theo's comment, but can't deny a pang of regret. Killing Velmos had been a split second decision and he still wasn't sure it was the right one.

Maybe he never would be.

"I'm sure you're all moving to take advantage of this situation even now." He grimmaces before releasing a small sigh. "But, it doesn't quite matter what you all do. As always, it will amount to nothing."

Greyson pushes himself to his feet, hand nestling into the comforts of his pocket once he was fully standing. He looks down on the Underboss with a complicated expression.

"I wasn't lying, Beckett. That offer was my first and last. Take it and maybe you can still get through all of this unscathed. Otherwise the next time we see each other, it will go about very, very differently."

"you shouldn't underestimate your enemies. that line of thinking is what led to us claiming sootopolis."

and it will lead to them claiming the rest of hoenn.

with offers exchanged between the two of then, hanging around their necks like nooses, their interaction approaches an end as greyson stands, ready to depart.

theo makes no attempt to stop them.

"be well, connors, and be safe."
