so long as theo's eyes are closed, marcus' are allowed to wander. from the cut of his jawline to vulnerable, pale throat. his gaze follows his adam's apple as it slides along words that contest his own. the underboss is never content to just be sold an idea, to be soothed by niceties — he has to make sure marcus believes what he's feeding him, too. [break][break]"every man needs faith in something. what else do we have otherwise?"[break][break]some believe in gods. some believe in fate. some believe in their own ability to carve destiny. and then some are THEO BECKETT, verging on a crisis of belief. [break][break]"i believe in it."
[break][break]the pneumatics of his chair squeak as he leans against the back of it. [break][break]"do you?"

wandering eyes are allowed to roam as they please, eyes closed or otherwise, for they may sit across each other on different hierarchical levels, but they have always been equal and one.

"i used to. i'm not sure if i still do."

his head shakes.

"our survival no longer hinges on ourselves but on the success of our avatars. more importantly, on how much we can control them."

marcus doesn't say anything, but disappointment flashes across his face, unseen by the underboss' closed eyes. he has gone through so much, but here is where THEO BECKETT falters? when the organization needs his guidance the most?[break][break]"you will find a means to control them," he says flatly. "or we all will die. there are no other alternatives at this scale."[break][break]the sobering thought gives him an itch to light another cigarette, but he resists. he picks up his pen instead, turning it idly over his fingers to keep his hand busy. [break][break]"have some faith in yourself, beckett. the solution you are looking for will find you in due time. perhaps it will be in the form of a legendary pokemon of your own."[break][break]he wonders if this conversation, in that imagined future, will be rendered null once theo has a taste of godhood. people rarely want to give up power over others once they have it — it is why the hierarchy of team rocket is so strongly outlined.

"or i can choose to place my faith in those above my station."

one is an avatar, one is is estranged in another region, and the others remain not even in the shadows but in the void. perhaps all they do is watch and leave the mess to those below them to clean.

"but i am not foolish enough to do so, nor am i to hope that a legendary pokemon may one day deem me worthy enough."

his eyes open having found a compromise.

"the most i can do now is bide my time."
