'murder, huh?'

[break][break] it wasn't as though caspian was particularly less versed in this than others, though the troupe had never - at least to his knowledge - gallivanted around with it. shini’ichiro hiiragi, it seemed, was more interested in what made them profitable — embezzlement, money laundering, the falsities of such a fractured life.

[break][break] "so, am i to think that you were involved in these killings?" caspian asked, tone somewhat bemused, as he walked alongside his fellow grunt. the magician angled his head towards her. he had not quite gotten a good look at her yet — they had already started off the moment that they'd both arrived.

[break][break] but even so, he could not help the itching reminder of familiarity.

[break][break] how strange.

Though Aurelie never regretted remaining a mere grunt in the brutal hierarchy of Rocket, there were times when she resented being ordered to do grunt work. And this—cleaning up the results of whatever madness happened in the Petalburg Woods when Rocket claimed it as their own territory—definitely counted as one of those times.

Her assigned partner for the cleanup was almost enough for her to forget her discontent, though. He looked vaguely familiar, which didn't surprise Aurelie, because the man was beautiful. With his astonishing good looks, he should've been posing on a glossy magazine cover or fronting a world-famous pop supergroup, not picking up bodies on a bloody battlefield.

His first question to her, though, was pure Rocket. She shook her head and smirked, though there was an edge of bitterness to her expression.

"Ha! No, I was hundreds of miles away when all this happened," Aurelie replied, exhaling a long, weary breath. "I was in Sootopolis when Kyogre and the League invaded. And no, before you ask, I didn't commit any murders there either!"

Though part of me wishes I had, she thought darkly. It probably wouldn't have changed anything in the long run. But at least I'd feel like I fought back...

She tilted her head back to meet the taller Rocket's gaze, studying him with frank curiosity as well as unabashed admiration. "You must be new either to Hoenn or our organization. I'm pretty sure I would've remembered seeing you at an official function or party. And most people who've heard of me know I'm probably the least dangerous member ever."

"Barely a Rocket" was what had once called her. He probably meant it as a compliment at the time, yet it had troubled her all the same. As if it were a commentary on her loyalty to Rocket, in an organization supposedly so unforgiving to the disloyal.

"If so, welcome…to either Hoenn or our side," Aurelie went on, pushing the memory away with a fierce effort. Gesturing to their heavy work gloves and huge shovels, she added wryly, "I'm Aurelie Lefevre by the way. I'd shake your hand, but, well…"

Her single uncovered eye narrowed for a moment in sudden surmise. "Are you from Kalos, by any chance? I heard a trace of a familiar accent in your voice." Both pride and nostalgia colored the redhead's voice as she mused, "I grew up in Anistar City myself. Though it's been years since I've been back there."

"no murders?" caspian returned, as easy as the wind that whistled through. "and you call yourself a rocket?"

[break][break] the banter was easygoing, as though they were talking about something as mundane as the weather, and not something as morbid as human lives.

[break][break] but perhaps caspian's upbringing had set him up for this. as if he and had been through so much that the thought of mere murder seemed almost trivial in hindsight.

[break][break] "correct and incorrect!" he chimed, offering up two fingers. "new, but not new to rocket. i hail from kalos." a pause. would mind if he dropped his name? probably. speaking of names, his brows rose into his hairline as the other revealed her name.

[break][break] ah.

[break][break] .

[break][break] a name to remember.

[break][break] the lefevre's failed flame, to be exact.

[break][break] "i've been to anistar," he said vaguely, stepping through the rubble as he looked upon the littered corpses with the same indifference that some might look upon flowers sprouting from the ground. he then pivoted on his heel, his expression betraying his intrigue. "you and argentate look nothing alike, though."

At the handsome Rocket's teasing about not murdering anyone, Aurelie chuckled ruefully and shook her head. "I know, right?" she replied in the same bantering tone, pretending to click her tongue reprovingly at herself. "How can you get ahead in life, if you're not regularly ending someone else's?"

Despite her best efforts, though, the redhead shuddered at her own words. To her, the words were a joke, but to others in Rocket, they were a way of life. A truism, even. She found herself hoping fervently that her current companion didn't fall in the latter category.

She decided to try and find out. "What about you? Any, uh, notches on your belt? Or do you have another specialty within Rocket?"

Then, Caspian shared a little more about himself, and suddenly, the blood drained for Aurelie's face, as did her smile. The name "Argentate" rang in her ears as she stared at him in shock. Not many people referred to her younger brother by his full name, not since he'd been bullied relentlessly for it as a kid.

"I...I guess you probably know more about me than I thought," she stammered at last, unable to hide the faint tremor in her voice. "And yeah, I can tell you must've been to Anistar at some point, if you know 'Tate."

I bet he liked you, Aurelie thought, a ray of amusement lancing through her stunned daze as she regarded Caspian with a new eye. Either that or hated you, depending on how you reacted, I guess.

"If I had a Pokedollar for every time I heard people talk about how different we looked, I'd be a millionaire," she added, one corner of her mouth curving in a crooked smile. "I had half a dozen teachers who couldn't believe we were family and had the same last name and parents. They'd argue with me when I said he was my little brother."

Unable to stop herself, she asked curiously, "How long ago did you last talk to him? Or see him? Is he…all right?"
