Cecilia leaned back in the crimson leather armchair, one leg crossed over the other, idly swirling a lowball glass of bourbon. The high-rollers room of the Gilded Rook casino had an air of exclusivity, its plush carpet muffling the distant clamor of slot machines and cheering gamblers. A crystal chandelier threw fractured light over green felt tables, but Cecilia’s attention stayed locked on the doorway.

Olivander was late. Typical.

Her fingers tapped an erratic rhythm against her glass as she glanced at the empty chair across from her. Memories of the lighthouse debacle flickered unbidden—his audacious charm, the audacity to think he could sell something he didn’t own, and her own wild decision to defend him. She had no illusions about his character; Olivander was trouble. But today, she needed trouble on her side.

She sighed, setting the glass down with a soft clink. The loan shark wasn’t going to wait forever, and her bargaining chip wasn’t going to walk through that door on her own.

She did keep him out of prison. She only hoped he didn't disappoint her.

Olivander may only have spare change to his name, but if there's one thing he's truly wealthy in, it's confidence.

[break][break]



He strode through the casino with his chin held high, his usual flamboyant ensemble drawing all eyes. With his gleeful smile and charisma, he greeted everyone along his path, expertly weaving a masquerade of familiarity with gamblers and staff members alike, as though old friends due for a long awaited reunion. To those who weren’t in the know, it might even appear as though he owned the casino with the way he carried himself.
[break][break]

Unfortunately, he wasn't there to gamble. Even if he were to, he certainly didn’t have the cash to back it up. Rather, he was there to meet a friend—an angel who had helped him out of a tight spot a couple years prior.
[break][break]


"Ah, if it isn't the most beautiful woman I know," he said, flashing a wide grin as he greeted her with outstretched arms. Sure, it might have been unnecessary flattery, but it was hardly an exaggeration on his part. "Sorry if I'm tardy for the party, I had a little trouble with the valet outside," he lied smoothly, knowing full well he had no car to speak of.

[break][break]


"I'm glad you finally called me out for a date," he said with a smirk as he took his seat. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't flattered." But of course, he knew what it truly was—a job, or so it seemed, a way for him to repay her for the kind gesture she had given.

"Late AND coy," she hummed, arching a sculpted brow. "It’s almost poetic, really—two virtues so rarely paired together." She waved away further apology with a slender hand, the movement fluid and dismissive.

As he slid into the seat opposite, Cecilia straightened, some indefinable tension bleeding from her posture. His presence alone seemed to shift the room’s gravity, pulling her towards him like errant iron filings to a mischievous magnet.

"I’m not calling it a date until there’s candlelight and mood music involved—and even then, your chances are dicey at best," she continued, fighting back a reluctant smile. He always brought out that buried levity in her, sparking barbs sharper than she usually dared unleash on clients. Or colleagues. Or anyone, really.

In truth, this meeting carried far heavier implications than flirtatious banter warranted. Her pulse throbbed quietly behind her temples, an insistent drumbeat counting down the seconds left before debts came due.

She took a measured sip of bourbon, relishing its slow burn. Then, leveling a look designed to cut straight through his bluster, she stated flatly:

"I need you to accompany me to a meeting and look appropriately threatening." Her gaze flickered meaningfully, adding without words: and try to keep me from getting my own head bashed in.

For a brief second, vulnerability flashed like heated lightning behind her steely composure—the desperate gambler's prayer that one final high stakes game could wipe the slate clean... if her luck would just hold.

She takes another measured sip of bourbon. "Sound like a plan?"

He couldn’t help but smile. So, an actual date wasn’t completely off the table, it seemed.

[break][break]


Still, his flirtatious musings would have to wait—now, what mattered more was her proposal. Cecilia’s words drew a raised brow from him, his interest piqued as he leaned in closer, listening intently to what she had in mind.
[break][break]

"I feel like there'd be better candidates for that job, don't you think?" he snickered, pouring himself a generous glass of the provided liquor on their table. "We’ve got actual psychopaths who wouldn’t even have to act to make your client shit their breeches." He paused, swirling the glass in his hand before shrugging, his eyes following the spherical ice as it glided smoothly along the curved sides of the glass. "Then again, I suppose bringing in someone fresh from the looney bin might complicate things a bit, huh?"
[break][break]


He took a sip, the bitter taste of the liquor hitting his tongue—a flavor he still couldn’t bring himself to enjoy. No matter how many times he drank it, rich people’s alcohol was something he just couldn’t get used to. Yet, as always, he kept any sign of discomfort from showing on his face.
[break][break]


"Do you have a name?" he asked, the words doubling as his agreement to her offer. "You know me, I always dress for the occasion." It was his way of letting her know that he’d need to do some research—find out what made this client of hers tick, and more importantly, what made them crack.

Her lips twitched in reluctant amusement behind the shield of her glass. Leave it to Olivander to sum up legions of organized crime enforcers as 'actual psychopaths'.

"He prefers 'Mr. Raticate' at the moment," she informed dryly, naming the loan shark with notorious connections throughout Hoenn. An oversized rodent Pokemon might strike certain clients as whimsical, but Raticate left teeth marks deeper than steel traps on any who crossed him—or failed to pay up.

"But don't let the charming nom de guerre fool you," she continued, swirling her bourbon absently. The amber liquid licked its confines like lazy flames seeking oxygen. "There won't be any cracked nuts at the negotiating table. Just his pet Sharpedo."

She leveled a pointed look at Olivander, silently willing him to absorb the implication—that Raticate favored aquatic killers poised to scent blood in the water. Sharks in more ways than one. If he hoped to stay buoyant among predators, he'd need more than bravado on his side.

A pause, fragile as gossamer spiderwebs, then gently: "If I wanted an actual psychopath, I would have gotten one," she said finally, voice lower, a tad more intimate. "But psychopaths are unpredictable. I just need someone who can act like a psychopath. Someone I know."

For a fleeting moment, the mask slipped. Vulnerability flickered in her eyes, the weight of desperation tugging at her carefully composed exterior. "I wouldn't ask if I had another choice."

With that, she sat back again, giving him space to process. She didn’t beg, didn’t press further. If Olivander was the man she thought he was, the one who’d once tried to sell a lighthouse with nothing but a forged deed and a devil-may-care attitude, he’d recognize this for what it was—a gamble.

And Cecilia Brooks wasn’t used to losing.

"Mr. Raticate," said Cecilia. Olivander scoffed, clearly amused. He hadn’t pegged her for the joking type. But as her expression remained steady, the grin slowly faded from his face. It took him a few more seconds to realize that she was entirely serious. He cleared his throat, still finding the moniker rather comical.
[break][break]


"What’d you do to the poor rodent?" he inquired, raising the glass of liquor to his lips. "Break his heart?" He sipped.
[break][break]

Whatever it was, it seemed serious enough to warrant the need for intimidation tactics. And of course, she was right to come to him if that was the plan. When it came to acting, he was second to none. If his life hadn’t gone so far off the rails, he could have easily made it big in show business. But alas, the cards he’d been dealt had led him down this lawless path instead.
[break][break]

From his coat's pocket, Olivander produced a coin, casually flipping it across his fingers with such smoothness that it seemed to glide through his hand. "You know, you kinda sound nervous there. Tell you what, let's play a little ice breaker—Heads, and we'll have a proper date after this whole ordeal. Tails, then it's your call." he raised an eyebrow and flicked the coin a few feet into the air with his thumb. The sound of its whirring filled the space between them.[break][break]

"It'll be fine. This? Compared to the things I’ve done before? It's like improv night at a comedy bar. You won’t be taking any chances here—and you know what? Personally? I never gamble,"[break][break]

The coin landed with a soft clink, right in the center of their table. It was heads.[break][break]

"Everything I touch is already rigged for success." He grinned, the confidence in his voice unwavering, as though he could bend reality to his will with nothing but a word and a smile. He lifted the coin, flipping it between his fingers, revealing that it was heads on both sides. [break][break]

What part of it was him just spouting nonsense out of sheer confidence, he himself couldn't say. But he believed every word he'd told her, even if his past endeavors suggested otherwise. [break][break]

"And if you want to bring up that one time, technically, we won the case. So," he raised his hands, palms up, tipping one arm after the other as though mimicking the motion of a weighing scale with his playful gesture.[break][break]

Cecilia stared blankly for two heartbeats, blinking once, slowly, as if resetting some internal circuit. By the time her customary half-smile quirked up one corner of her mouth, she looked only mildly entertained—not stunned, nor disbelieving.

"If that's your version of 'never gambling', Olivander, I hate to imagine what counts as throwing the dice in your world," she drawled, reaching out lazily to flip the coin perched between them. Heads, unsurprisingly. If anyone could rig destiny itself in his favor, it was the man in front of her now.

She leaned her head on her hand. "You've been hanging around me too long," she teased, but there was a thread of fondness stitched through her words—an unlikely camaraderie born of shared courtroom battles and madcap gambits. The ghost of a memory flickered to life: his laughter echoing in the hollow, liminal hours between victory and retreat, bright against a storm tide of danger and uncertainty.

That same warmth glimmered in her gaze now as she took stock of him from behind the shelter of her glass. All bluster and sleight of hand, wrapped around something... tenacious. Something tough enough to bend without breaking, stubborn enough to thrive where others wilted.

Well. She’d chosen him for a reason.

"Alright then, Mr. Probability," she acquiesced, resigning herself to whatever fates or fix the coin decreed. "Meet me at the marina tomorrow at nine in the evening. Don't be late." She drained her bourbon in one last swallow, savoring the burn as it seared through chest and courage alike.

And perhaps some long-dormant kernel of belief sparked to life—mad and reckless as Olivander himself.

Cecilia set down her empty glass decisively, smoothing her suit jacket as she rose to stand.

"Afterwards, assuming we survive, you can buy me dinner."

Cecilia's beholden to the fates, after all, even if the game was rigged from the start.

"You've been hanging around me too long," she said, her tone wry.[break][break]

He leaned back with a smirk, raising his hands as if to say, guilty as charged. As he did, the sleeves of his coat slid down, revealing three expensive watches adorning his wrists—souvenirs he’d skillfully pilfered from a few unwitting casino patrons during his earlier rounds of handshakes.

"I'll take your word for it," he smiled as he playfully pointed at her. "I'll be there at eight."
[break][break]

Never one to waste anything free, Olivander grabbed his glass and downed it in one go. The burn seared down his throat, forcing him to clear it with a subtle cough, though was quick to mask it with a practiced grin. "Well then, I better be off to prepare."
[break][break]

He fished three wallets out of his pockets, each one newly acquired from earlier much like the watches on his wrist. Rifling through them with practiced ease, he examined their contents before plucking out a crisp bill. As he finished his drink, he placed it beneath his empty glass, paying for his share.[break][break]

"Au revoir," he exclaimed with a grin, blowing her a kiss with both hands as he sauntered backwards out of the room's doorway.[break][break]
