priam pouts and lowers his head when he gets reprimanded for being crude. he supposed he needs to be more subtle about the way he talks and speaks with the fancy, higher up people such as his boss.

he folds his arms starts to think of how to reword his statement. any synonym of sex comes as much more vulgar than the term sex with every attempt he makes in his head, thankfully, a question interrupts him and gives him an excuse to stop thinking.

"is it because he's ugly for pangoro standards?" he answers eagerly.

besides his guess, priam has absolutely no idea of the reason why. he wasn't a breeder anyways, or a biologist, or a scientist like eva and circe. beating things up was his job and thinking came second most of the time.

priam manages to wrap his mind around the concept. it was common sense, he supposed. he felt good for managing to make a somewhat correct guess though.

still, he scratches his head. "so... how can we make the two of 'em fall in love?"

training the male pangoro takes time and he was pretty sure that it wasn't their job. priam just wants to make it through this assignment without much hassle and forcing his brain to work wasn't going so well for him.

"beating up the girl won't count, right?" he folds his arms, lowering his head as he thinks of any solution. "can we just use someone else to sub in for that weak ass pangoro?"

priam groans. he doesn't like losing but he supposed it's still a job that needs to be taken. he makes no effort to hide his discomfort, showing familiarity with the rocket boss, and releases his pokemon that does the job well.

"yeah. i'm just that good of a grunt, y'know?"

the pyukumuku faces the pangoro, hopping all the way until the pangoro takes notice of it. it bulks itself up with its internal organs, the white stuff effectively making it look larger and stronger than what it was.

the pangoro immediately takes the opportunity to impress his girl and punches the pyukumuku. the pyukumuku retaliates with innards out before landing on the ground. his pyukumuku still looked fine even after the punch.

priam gets impatient. "memento!" he commands. the pyukumuku casts a curse at the pangoro before fainting so it looks like it got defeated. priam turns to cadis.

"how's that?"

eyes light up with the praise. a hint of bashfulness hides with the display of arrogance, grinning widely with the rise and fall of his shoulders with his chuckling.

"i want a promotion, teehee!" he asks for jokingly. "kidding aside, i think i want pancakes. do you know any places nearby for that"

it was way past breakfast, but breakfast food were always nice no matter what time one takes them. he recalls the pyukumuku in the mean time, awaiting for cadis to whisk him away to the nearest cafe or something.
