[attr="class","augpost"]he keeps seeing himself standing there, half-buzzed, watching the taillights of the cab blur down the street. and it turns and he keeps staring, and remus clears his throat, and he keeps staring. and he's thinking a million things at once, mostly about how he can't hold his liquor like he thought. and could she hold her liquor? or was she just as tipsy as he was? and why didn't he want to get in the cab with her? should he have gotten in the cab with her?
he drops his weights, rolls his arms. and then he slouches forward, hangs his elbows over his knees. he rubs his cheek against the towel strewn across his neck, over his shoulders.
remus pulls him up; his own fur is matted with sweat from the light sparring he'd been doing with another rocket grunt's pokemon.
it's later that day when he's thumbing through jobs on the notice board, as he's looking through his shit, thinking he outta give david at least a couple more days to scrounge up the money (at least give him a chance), that he realizes that he's got a few days off and could probably spend some time to himself.
and then he blinks, flicks the screen of his pda and types in her name. and there she is, with all her accolades, everything public that rocket has on her. and her file is incredible and he's laughing at himself for expecting anything but.
mission partner required for current listing: james morris, currently missing. has dirt on rocket. make sure his family finds him dead.
he's clicking accept before he has the werewithal to consider otherwise. he's accepted, naturally, and the mission details pull up immediately.
so the next day he's standing at the base of mt. pyre, remus at his side, smoking a cigarette while he waits.
