a man of few words, always. the both of them are terrible conversationalists and no one sits between them to ease the silences when they lapse, but also similar are they that they don't mind the quiet. 

she used to enjoy his company. but was that me? was that really me? katas on the balcony, his tapping away at his laptop, the constant march towards the inevitable onslaught. 

until she ran. 

her fingers dimple the glass. she thinks of softer things. "have you checked on eva recently? i'm...worried about her."

she asked for distance. she asked for distance since the kiss.

“CONSTANTLY,” he admits. “she is our brightest scientist.

a crinkle of his nose dissuades the praise. how can he vouch for her right before the eventual slander?

however, she is painfully naive. her continued overexertion will ruin her.

brightest scientist indeed. they can't afford to lose her, and that makes it all the more worse that she continues to over-exert herself. but she's powerless to stop it, powerless to help her. 

she flexes her fingers, grits her teeth.

"she's too good," she says softly. "more than we deserve."

“INDEED,” he says, skimming his first sip off the top of his drink. “a dangerous good that doesn’t know when to stop.

taking it slow brings a grimace to his face. he winces at the taste, and having to repeat it as he slows his consumption to a more respectable level.

he starts to match her pace.

she’s seemed upset and bothered about something lately, but i haven’t been able to pry it out of her.

eva tracing circles on her skin, giggling in the moonlight, holding her tight with promises that they'll be together forevermore. always the optimist, grinning wide and ready to face the world. she blinks away the memories of another version of herself, frowns. 

she takes another sip and a heat smatters red across her cheeks. 

"should you be prying?" she bites before thinking better of it, exasperation leaking through her words.

“INDEED,” he doubles down, stern in his stance.

i am responsible for her well-being and it is imperative to all of us that she remains stable.

his eye narrows.

or would you prefer another dross?

her nose wrinkles. she knocks back the rest of her shot and spares him a glance out of the corner of her eye, struggling to hide her irritation. 

"last i checked, you weren't responsible for her well-being. unless i'm thinking of the wrong silph?" 

she waves a hand, snags the third of his shots and takes that too: "she won't be another dross."

“I’M NOT BLACK,” he reiterates with a swirl of his glass. “the well-being of the science division directly affects their productivity. burnout is a real and tangible detriment. we can spare trainers, but these scientist are not easily replaced.

his eye narrows and his eyebrows furrow. an annoyance slips out between being petty and vindictive.

i think she’ll forgive hererra.

the glass makes a louder sound than it should when she places it back down on the bar. she taps the top of the rim, considers another one of the shots in front of her, and pointedly takes one while insisting, "well, officially consider it one of my duties now to look after our head scientists."

the envy slithering through her uncoils and she adds, "since you've already so much on your plate."

and then, with a raise of her brow, "i hope for her sake, she doesn't."

“STRETCH YOURSELF TOO THIN,” he warns. “and i’ll be left with just livy.

fernando winces at his own statement. a moment settles, as he tries to conform his face to his usual neutral, before he gives up and takes another sip. like putting out a fire, that seems to work.

except, alcohol is flammable.

please do not leave me with livy.

"careful," she warns, "or i might start to think you actually care." the words are dry, teased at the edges. she sets the whiskey down for now, allows the taste and the slight haze settle for the moment. she's not after a hangover. 

there's a brief pause and the slight smile on her lips twitches when he doubles down on the sentiment. seems he's as susceptible to liquor as his fellow man. 

then why...?

"i worry about her avatarship. at least with your brother's, we knew he would implode."

“HERRERA’S ISSUES ARE HIS OWN,” comes an aggressive follow up. “groudon will be used as a scapegoat but that is only a farce—no matter how much the others forgive and forget.

he takes another sip. more desperate to choke it down at once, but with the restraint to leave some still in the cup.

we already know what will be morales’ undoing.

vindication strikes hard and fast, so much so that her fingers curl, her breath rakes in sharply. so many are content to blame fiorelli for the part she played, and to the legendary he claims lay waste to his mind, but at the end of a string of justifications is a man too weak-willed to wield what was bestowed upon him.

did kyogre not hunger for the same? did dross not resist her urges? 

every fiber of her being seethes at the idea that this man has autonomy, has always had autonomy, and hides behind lie after lie after lie. she shows her teeth, takes the rest of the shot, and flags the bartender down for another round.

"she will not be undone," she says firmly, content to put his face out of her mind; in his place is a lie of her own.

“HM.”

a click of his tongue echoes a sound she knows all too well.

tch. would you be willing to wager on that?

a sneer breezes past his lips as he props his opposite elbow onto the bar counter. his head rests in the safety of his hand, cupped toward her.

"yes," she says, without hesitation. golds flash and she props her own chin up to mirror him. two more glasses are slid their way. 

"because i will not let anything happen to her, councilman."
