[attr="class","FEARtext"]

For the first ten minutes Naia had received these "notes", she couldn't help but just stare at them. She had seen children write better than this both in a structural sense and in a legibility sense. The notes her father had dropped on her after they both took on a full late night shift stitching Rockets together, were most definitely written by a doctor--an impatient one at that. Then again it isn't like he's needed to care about this work, both mother and Naia knew that he only took on this extra work due to his wife's alliances; plus it's Naia's full responsibility to make sure this world is done.[break][break]

For once, Naia wasn't exhausted like she usually was; perhaps it was the power nap she took before situating herself in the rocket lounge, or in the more likely case it was pure irritation that fueled her. Especially since some of these notes were already transcribed before hand, coffee stains and panicked scribbles can attest to that, but half of it was garbage. Mistakes were littered everywhere, so much so the very act of going through and fixing these would be far more effort than she truly believed it was worth it.[break][break]

So here she was, papers sprawled across her table; one half being her own sleep deprived notes and the other being the artistic representation of what language should be by her father. Normally Naia wouldn't show the amount of frustration she was feeling, especially back at home but Rocket was her safe place, a place where you wouldn't get beat and punished for breathing too loud. A place where she could take a take a breather and express herself by a hand raising up to pinch her nose, lifting her reading glasses to her forehead in the process. [break][break]

Her straw was notes on a burn victim, normally you'd just prescribe some antibiotic ointments and have them address or return everyday for new bandages and doses, but here in rocket many need to go back into the war efforts. So many different pain medications and simple quick fixes with human aid and Pokémon heals could really go so far, and many were creative. She couldn't understand for the life of her why her father wrote scribbles that COULD be bacterial treatments, unless there was something she was misreading.[break][break]

As she contemplated the degrees of experimental treatments that could have taken place right under her nose, little hands of her two Indeedee's nimbly got to work. Zoe being sure to make sure that Naia's table hadn't gotten too disorganized yet be conscious of enough to leave room if another needed to sit here, as for Seb, he was on sugar and caffeine duty, already taking her cold coffee and working his way to procuring her a second drink with a snack to keep her brain running.

Another day had come and gone and honestly he is hoping it's less eventful than the last few. While he has been excited to actually make some newish friends in Rowan Wrynn and Adrian Malcolm, having a hands on lesson in fighting this soon during recovery was not something he was up for. Hopefully the break room could actually provide him with that, a break as he ate his meal. [Break][break]

Thankfully most now seemed to ignore him as he passed by looking for a seat, but the scene before him was one that he was very familiar with and it causes him pause. Papers scattered, lots of coffee and unmistakable doctor scribbles that they claimed to high heaven were legible. And while he was mostly blind to other's emotions he knows a stressed assistant when he see it.[break][break]

"Need help there?" he offers as he puts the salad he ordered from their cafeteria down and feeds his Bulbasaur one of the tomatoes from it. "I was a lab assistant for years and all of their writing looked pretty similar so I've become pretty fluent in it." he says with a small chuckle curious if the other would actually let him out.

"Need help there?"[break][break]

The new voice caused Naia to pause and before she would even look over at the individual the agitated expression that washed over her face would soon be replaced with a much calmer and collected one. Not only did she not recognize his voice, but she hadn't seen his face around either, her eyes lingering on the scars covering half of his face probably longer than a second or two. she thought that maybe underneath it would be a face that she could maybe recognize, but she highly doubted it.[break][break]

"I was a lab assistant for years and all of their writing looked pretty similar so I've become pretty fluent in it."[break][break]

Her eyes dropped from his face as he continued to speak and instead focused down on his salad, and more importantly his Bulbasaur. Never had she seen such a uniquely coloured one and for a moment her eyes would light up before she'd awkwardly look away from it. Up to this point she'd been silent, that's awkward.[break][break]

"Sure.." her lips would press in a fine line, as she'd start gathering her papers to make more room for the newcomer. She obviously did not hand him her old sleep deprived notes and instead would give him only a couple pages of her father's notes. she had no idea how that would come off to him, but to her at least, it didn't feel right to just pass your work off to someone and have them expect nothing in return. [break][break]

So she'd start small, that way whatever she needed to turn was small as well.[break][break]

When her Indeedee returned rather than only coming back with one cup, it instead returned with two coffees, one black and the other just the way that Naia liked hers. Dutifully it would point out the milk and sugars for Raziel while it's other paw would place down a small plate of an assortment of sweets. [break][break]

"Naia." She'd blurt out without much prompting, a hand reaching out for donut having to stop herself from taking a bite before she'd even elaborate. "My name. And yours?" Once the Indeedee's work was done with a small light he'd return back into his pokeball, while her female Indeedee, Zoe, would be on standby incase any crumbles fell on the table or things needed to be thrown out. "If you want something else, just tell me." She'd say using her nose to point towards the coffee before diving back into her paperwork.

Admittedly he slightly turns himself so that the part of his face that was burned was more out of side. The stare making him self conscious, he keeps forgetting that it's there as the memory of it happening was gone. Still made him uncomfortable though. [Break][break]

Though it seems that she was interested and he smiles at that. His brain has felt like mush the past two weeks with nothing going on. So with the chance to do this he was a little excited to help as notes were handed to him. "Do you have a spare paper and a pen?" he questions at first before trying to read any of it. [Break][break]

His only pause was when the indeedee interrupted them for drinks, "Oh umm thanks," he gives his appreciation though his Bulbasaur seems to poke him about the salad first over the coffee and sweets. He gives an eye roll before taking a few bites and then gives his pokemon a 'you happy now?' kind of look before feeding them another tomato from it. The silence from the other going completely unnoticed on his part.[Break][break]

"oh right names uhh Pry-Beckett, he's quick to correct himself knowing Theo has told him to use his name. Though there is a pet of him that does feel a bit giddy to say it, "Raziel Beckett," he offers formally because that is what he's been taught to do before he looks to the notes and tries to start translating. [Break][break]

Normally his writing would be very neat however after trying to write a few letters he would realize that he couldn't use his right hand right. His nerves still damaged and uncooperative, so he switches hands. It's slower and still not as neat but he was getting the job done, "May I ask who's work this is?"

[attr="class","FEARtext"]

"Do you have a spare paper and a pen?"[break][break]

At his question Naia would silently separate some papers and slide them over in front of him as well as place a couple pens for him to choose from, all the while her eyes barely left the paperwork in front of her. She did wonder if it would be been more friendly to say anything, but at the same time she really didn't see a point in talking to just fill the silence with. Or at least here it didn't feel like it needed it.[break][break]

Upon him thanking Seb is when Naia would have lifted her eyes from the pages to take a small break, and while she didn't show it on her face, she was greatly amused by the antics between this stranger and his Bulbasaur. They must have been really close for his companion to be aware of his eating habits, or perhaps it was closer to her Zweilous. Maybe it just wanted him to eat so they could have some left overs too.[break][break]

"oh right names uhh Pry-Beckett,"[break][break]

Pulled away from her hypotheticals on their relationship, Naia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at his response. From a quick look at him he didn't seem to be wearing a ring so maybe this wasn't a new last name from marriage-- Oh, it could be an alias. They are rockets afterall.[break][break]

"Raziel Beckett,"[break][break]

Beckett.. Tori had the same last time name, perhaps they are related. Naia couldn't stop herself from staring over at him, she had almost missed clocking the fact that he couldn't seem to use his dominate hand. Only to leave her with plenty of more questions.[break][break]

"May I ask who's work this is?"[break][break]

"My Father." Blunt, straight to the point, but even though she did answer his question, she couldn't help but feel the need to further explain the situation. "He's a surgeon as his day job, but is forced to do back alley jobs for emergencies. What Mother wants, she gets." There wasn't room for love in the Kayode family, everyone has their own agendas and all of those were secondary to her Mother's. Naia knew that and so did her father.[break][break]

"It's why they are probably half-ass," She said tossing a finished page off to the side with barely a care. "Don't get me wrong, he doesn't treat anyone's life lightly. Just if he's going to do extra work, he'll just find ways to slack or have fun." A lot of what they've done together was incorporating pokemon heals with human surgeries; while a heal isn't always perfect it can really help heal up incisions and repairing rips if guided properly.[break][break]

"Are you related to Tori?" It felt only fair that Naia got to ask a personal question, they both did have the same last name and similar hair and eye colour. Perhaps they are siblings or cousins, "I met her not too long ago and I can see why Jayden recommended me meeting her."

"That makes more sense of these notes about burns," he offers as he slowly gets through the first page of notes he was given to help the other translate them to be more legible. Raziel simply nods in agreement with the whole 'mother wants mother gets' notion. "I can get that a little bit," he comments but doesn't go to much into it as talking about his old parents wasn't something he wanted to think about. He wanted to help to exercise the mind and get his thoughts off the past. He just wants to focus on the present. "Well I'm no medical expert but these don't seem to uhhh 'half-assed,'" he muses before handing her the first page of translation of the best of his understanding at least. [break][break]

He goes back to his salad after that figuring the Bulbasaur would bug him again about eating if he didn't. Though it seems it still wants to bug him as it seems to sit and wait and bump's its head against his arm. Raziel giving in and still feeding it more of his salad by handing it a couple pieces of lettuce. [break][break]

"I haven't met a 'Tori' before so I doubt it," Raziel knew of 'Victoria Becket' but he was not familiar with her nickname as nicknames were always looked down on by his father so using them wasn't something he did. Though he does perk up at jayden cross, and while he is used to being a little more informal about his friend he understands that the man is an admin now he shouldn't be. "Well if Admin Cross says she's good might be fine to meet her eventually," he mentions not realizing the two of them were talking about an old bully of his.

"Well I'm no medical expert but these don't seem to uhhh 'half-assed,'"[break][break]

Were they not? Naia paused her transcribing, taking the page from Raziel to read over her father's work. To Naia this wasn't good enough, or was it more accurate to say that her family wouldn't find this good enough. Is this far better than the norm? Was it the norm? The more she got involved with Rocket and the more she tried to better herself.. the absurd goal posts her family forced upon her seem so unrealistic.[break][break]

"I haven't met a 'Tori' before so I doubt it,"[break][break]

"Oh..?" Naia wouldn't press it any further, instead she'd reach for one of the sweets, a donut with some frosting on it. However when she took a bite from it she wouldn't notice the icing being left on the corner of her mouth, that is until Zoe reached up with a napkin to wipe it away. While this was normal behind close doors it felt a little embarrassing in public, so much so she couldn't hide the small flush on her cheeks.[break][break]

"Well if Admin Cross says she's good might be fine to meet her eventually,"[break][break]

His voice brought her back to the matter at hand, picking up the pen again, "Are you close.." Naia paused, she used to be jealous of Ashley being able to call Jayden, Jay, but so far since she's been back she rarely has heard people call him by this name. It was strange, but since he never corrected her.. maybe that just meant they were closer. "..with Admin Cross?" It felt weird saying Admin Cross, but maybe this is what she should get used to.[break][break]

While she waited for him to reply she'd continue to scribble some more notes, only to pause to take bites out of her donut and to sneak some glances his Bulbasaur. Would it like some of her donut? With that thought Naia would break off a little piece, taking a second to look it over before sighing and eating it. Probably not. "What's their name?" She'd finally question, "I never seen a Bulbasaur like them. Quite pretty."[break][break]

She was about to write again before catching herself, "Oh. This is Zoe," she'd say gesturing over towards her female Indeedee, "The one before was Seb. I also have Jude and Colie, but they're too needy while I'm working.." Especially Colie, she knows ifs he let out her Zorua it would only be her, her her. and for Jude... well, Jude just lets to be held, it's hard to write and hold him.

When she brings up her question about jayden cross Raziel likes to think that they are close, though admittedly just like with Cillian Quinn something felt a little off with their reunion. Yet he still chalks it all up to the fact that it had been 6 years, they have clearly changed, while he has reverted to being... he doesn't know really as he has no clue what he was like after the years of punishment from his father. He shakes his head at the thought though as he tries to focus on his company and the work she gave him to help translate her father's work. "Yeah, this feel a little different now, but our parents were friends so he was over a bit he's kinda like uhhh... a cousin," he wasn't sure if the other still felt the same about him but he could only hope. [break][break]

As she ponders he continues his work a bit only interrupted by her question and he just gives her a questionable look, "What are you 5?" there is no malice behind the question but clearly something that has been repeated to him often enough that he knew better. "Sorry I... don't mean that, uhhhh... my dad always said nicknames are for kids who can't say a name right, and so nicknames for my pokemon have always been discouraged," he offers back as he take a moment to look at his Bulbasaur, wondering if he should name it to spite his father. "And yeah it has a Toxic Chain on it," he offers as he picks it up to put them on the table to have the chain on full display, "I don't know what causes the phenomenon but it seems to infect pokemon and makes them poison type and gives them new abilities and power." [break][break]

As she names her own pokemon again he looks unsure about it. It was weird to hear nicknames for pokemon as neither his previous parents or Theo ever did such a thing. It was forbidden for him or his brother to do it, so it all felt odd. "Uhh good to meet them?"

If Naia was nosier she would have asked him how it was different, what his parents did for work for them to have met, maybe even selfishly wondered if she was ever brought up just as she always brought him up. However, unfortunately or not, Naia wasn't that type of person; instead she was more impressed on how small this world really was-- or at least the rocket world. [break][break]

Whilst she also met Jayden through her parents she never once considered him family like Raziel did; to her Jayden wasn't a cousin but just someone she loved very dearly. Maybe that was a thought she should put in her back pocket, especially when work was at hand. Right now she's talking to Raziel, not Jayden. Right now, she wanted to get to know this person and make friends.[break][break]

"What are you 5?"[break][break]

Naia would freeze up, the grip on her pen intensify as her anxiety would steadily pool up. This was a line she heard a lot growing up, and even more so now with her mother; a tumultuous relationship that continues to haunt her every waking moment. Naia at first opened her mouth to say something but would instead bite down on her lip. She needed to gather herself, right now she was in the rocket head quarters and not back at home, she was talking to Raziel and not her mother; she didn't need to worry about getting hit or locked up for saying something stupid.[break][break]

"Sorry I..." Naia would look over at Raziel, slowly putting her pen down while he continued on, "don't mean that, uhhhh... my dad always said nicknames are for kids who can't say a name right, and so nicknames for my pokemon have always been discouraged," Relief washed over Naia as in response she gave a meek nod. She highly doubt she was the only person in the world that has parents like hers, it made her empathize far more; she knows very well how irrational toxic parents can be. And speaking of toxic..[break][break]

Naia's eyes would light up slightly as he'd show off the chain, her head even tilting the side to get a better look at it while he further explained. It was interesting, and even more she wanted to ask a bunch of questions, especially if there were any adverse effects. If she ever wanted to go out and find a way to buff her own pokemon she'd want to know if she'd be ultimately hurting her family. [break][break]

Uhh good to meet them?"[break][break]

Family which she was starting to notice with his comfortability may not be something he prioritizes. "Um--" Naia cut herself off and flinching slightly when she noticed she fell back into using filler words. "I don't think your.. father is entirely incorrect, but I feel like there is a huge flaw in his thinking." It felt wrong to correct a parent, by extension it felt no different than her trying to talk back to her mother, but bluntly Naia felt like his father was more of a child for his thinking on Pokémon names.[break][break]

"You saw I have two indeedees. By his logic, I would have to refer them both as 'indeedee' and with how chaotic combat can be, it would be extremely hard to give out orders. While I agree it's important to know your pokemon specie, I feel like it's also important to simplify. How would indeedee A and Indeedee B be any different than just saying Seb and Zoe." She was going to leave it at that, but honestly there was a much bigger issue to her than just names.[break][break]

"Plus.. they're family aren't they, not?" This time her voice sounded less confident, a tad hushed. Zoe and Seb had been with Naia ever since she was a child, to her they were more her parents than her actual human parents and she doubt she was the only one who loved pokemon as much as she did. "It's not like I'd start call you human because that's what you are, plus-- _{even I like calling people by nicknames too....}" If it hadn't been obvious before, now it would be clear as day that this last part was a topic of embarrassment for Naia, her hands now firmly in her lap as her cheeks would flush slightly. To her at the very least, nicknames were the pinnacle of familiarity.

Raziel feels his bulbasuar shove him lightly as the woman freezes at his words. He gives it a 'what!?' kind of look as he clearly didn't mean to make her react the way he did. Which was why he was quick to apologize about it, he knows his father's words weren't the healthiest given his now current outlook so he probably shouldn't be repeating it. Yet it was hard to break years of conditioning. Though his brow can't help but raise at her in some surprise as she just blatantly calls out his father and his logic. While his mentor has more often than not criticized his dad no one else really did, not to him at least so it was strange to hear. [break][break]

"But there is a difference between the two," he can't help but argue back, he isn't sure if its out of habit or something he actually believed in, "One way its clear they're the items that they are and the other...." he doesn't really know how to word it. Not until she says it out loud and then notion of it seems contradictory to everything he has been taught. Was this the difference in Rocket that had been mentioned to him? [break][break]

"I.... no.... they're just tools and weapons," he counters though once more with his tone its clear that its more something that he is repeating rather than believing. Especially when his own actions clearly countered what he says in the very way he treats his bulbasaur, or the way he treated both his espurr and nidoqueen when he still had them. Though they were mostly the outliners for the rest of his pokemon? They were replaceable. [break][break]

"Least... that was Kanto way of things," from the way he has been taught, yet he seems to be doubting his own thoughts now.

Naia was caught off guard from herself. Never in her life did she think that she would speak up about something she kept to herself all of these years, the mere embarrassment was that truth settling in was nearly enough to bring her to tears but even more so.. Naia wasn't used to talking this much in the first place, it only took a matter of seasons for her to truly understand how much she ranted at a complete stranger. [break][break]

The very high of her emotions slowly settling down as what slithered it's way was the chilled fear of retaliation. Her mother hated when Naia was belligerent --loud about something she was clearly too uneducated to even have an opinion about. What did she actual know about Pokémon? Maybe-- no, he should be the right one. [break][break]

"I.... no.... they're just tools and weapons,"[break][break]

Naia waited for her mother's voice to chastised her, almost too far into her own head to fully hear everything he said till after a second, that was all. It was only just his voice, a bit rattled and uncertain but just his voice. That's right, here it was safe. Here in Rocket she could forfeit everything to just be Rocket. It's okay to make her own choices since here people can believe in her.[break][break]

"Least... that was Kanto way of things,"[break][break]

This wasn't the first time she heard of something similar, but despite living in Kanto growing up and having her family be rocket supporters, her mother almost made it a point to completely isolate Naia. If anything, from the way they spoke of it, almost felt like they were talking about a foreign region. With a small inhale Naia would start off, her eyes meekly more trailing along the table than at him, "I concede. I don't believe you're completely wrong, I do find myself having a hard time naming a Pokémon unless I have some form of connection with them.."[break][break]

With that small bit, lightly flick her pen, watching it roll over her father's notes. Perhaps she was extra harsh because she had a bias towards fathers in general, "I agree that Pokémon are in part tools and weapons, but so are we." They are after all the arms and legs of rocket, blood and bond one could even think. We die for rocket, and fight for it. "And here I call you Raziel and you'd call me Naia. Not human A and B." Naia felt a little bit proud of this comeback, her mood lighting up from how it was just mere minutes, as a had would reach for another sweet. [break][break]

"I'll admit I'm very biased towards this.. I was after all pretty much was raised by my Indeedees.. My mother only cared to educate me. So, I'm more attached to Pokémon than I've seen with others, but even so I keep a sort of grouping." Taking, a couple packets of sweetener, sugar and then some coffee creamers, she'd place them into three different piles, pointing each one out, "I have some I regard as family, others I use for combat and have trust with and then others.. they're tools. I don't think there is anything wrong with that."[break][break]

A much earned Triumphant bite.
