for years, lenora had kept up with hoenn’s thriving entertainment industry. she performed divination through the crystal ball of social media, fine-tuning special menu plans far ahead to suit what crowds would undoubtedly reach out for seats at bellamy’s.[break][break]

it was on one such afternoon of scrolling that she’d happened upon a familiar smile, backlit by a glistening chandelier.[break][break]

”no way.” she pinched at the screen, zooming in to confirm that yes, it was that same cocky smile she remembered, and had nearly forgotten. ”so that’s where you went.”[break]

weeks later, when she’d found time, she took a cab from slateport. after the ride to neighboring mauville, she stood before the face of the nightclub icarus in a plunging neckline and very nice pants.[break][break]

entering past security, she was met with all the excitement and luxury she’d been promised in the club’s ad – but not the face she was looking for.[break][break]

she approached the central bar, guessing he was probably lurking. if he was, she was sure he would see her before she saw him, and that she was in as good a spot as any to be found. a friendly smile was given to the bartender with an order for a gin and tonic, before she cast her searching gaze through the dark and the glitter nonetheless.

Aris is where he usually is on a busy night, right in the middle of all the bustle as he chats with the regulars, greets any newcomers and leads people away from the STAFF ONLY areas of the club.[break][break]

It's been a couple of years since Icarus started. Thanks to Rocket's funds and well-placed advertisements, the business has been booming. Managing a venture like this is not the most enjoyable experience in Aris' opinion despite sharing burdens with Cato and Cassidy (though one may argue they cause more problems than they solve), but at least it's far better than running errands for the organisation or living at HQ dorms.[break][break]

Aris strides up to the bar with Sydora perched on his shoulder and leans on the surface with both arms. He notices that he has positioned himself beside a pale-haired woman, but before he can spare her face a glance he addresses the bartender. "Table 12 has been waiting on a couple of Appletuni's, please hurry up!"[break]

she sipped and watched, sure that sooner or later, one of them would stumble upon the other. it was he that stood out to her first, easy to spot with his looks and style, and the same air about him that she thought immediately better suited him to this position – though he’d not seemed out of place behind bellamy’s bar, either.[break][break]

she was wordless as he approached the bar, observing his interaction with his staff. there was a hint of amusement on her face that she hid behind a quiet sip of her gin and tonic, for she was almost certain that he’d been on the other end of a similar situation at least a time or two.[break][break]

she leaned just a little closer to him, so his bartender couldn’t hear as they were working, and suggested casually, ”maybe you should show them how it’s done.” she wasn't serious; perhaps he'd known her well enough to figure as much if he looked over.

The familiarity of the new voice amongst the chatter of the club calls for his attention more than the words themselves. Aris' eyes are quick to flick to the source beside him, and they widen at the sight of his former colleague.[break][break]

Well, fuck.[break][break]

"Nora." He shifts his position to face her completely and a smile brightens his face, but his mind starts to run through excuses. Aris remembers how his last month at Bellamy's had been; frequent sick leaves, zoning out during work, and keeping his conversations short. It was the month he had officially been recruited into Team Rocket; he had thought he'd be able to handle a normal job alongside his tasks as a grunt.[break][break]

"I might have to if they don't catch up," Aris chuckles lightly. The Eevee on his shoulder hops off and onto the bartop. "Arceus, how long has it been? How have you been?"[break]
