[attr="class","spiral"]Routine.

Like clockwork, Fernando always finds himself grounded onto his computer after each League fiasco. Littleroot proves an exception due to the absence of Ultra Beast. Whatever happened there, Fernando could've handled it. Blame fell not on the impossibility of overcoming a foreign threat but the omission of a clear cut target.

Too many cooks in the kitchen created a Krabby mentality that makes suppression impossible. That's why he needs more than just himself. Reliance is a weakness that Fernando remains obstinate about but having helping hands never hurts.

He never looks up from his monitor — a standard greeting.

"Evening, Isra."

"Good evening Fernando." she states plainly, as she always does on evenings where the world has not completely fallen apart.

The click of her heals carries her towards her desk, the sound of the chair signifies her taking her place in the office in the same manner as always. If there is something she should be concerned about the woman is not. If there is something that should be considered amiss she does not realize it.

"Anything important on my desk tonight?" she asks, more to make idle chitchat than anything else.

[attr="class","spiral"] "Not yet."

Fernando's temperament matches the office environment, controlled, cool, and silent despite running day in and day out. He's yet to construe anything tangible but moving resources takes time. "Can you set up a meeting for me with . I want to visit him and discuss some things whenever he's available this week."

He doesn't bat an eye when switching topics. The ideas twist and turn but the flow of his conversation continues with the same flow.

"The incident in Littleroot has become a headache."

Isra makes a note on one of her pads of sticky notes, she'll give the head ranger a call before the night is over and ensure a meeting is set by the later parts of the morning. The note is attached to her monitor, to ensure she sees it and gets it done before the night is over.

"Everything has been a headache a of late hasn't it?" it's rhetorical, of course. Because they both know the answer is yes.

Isra shuffles through the papers meant for her, deciding how to go about the night's work. "how and why?" this one is not rhetorical and she awaits the answer.

[attr="class","spiral"]"Indeed."

Fernando releases his mounting frustration with a drawn out exhale, feeling his chest empty as he expels his thought through his nostrils. Having to breath them back in becomes easier to manage, dissipating withia single gesture. "A bunch of people invaded the Contest Hall to blow up a tree. I don't know who they are or why."

He can channel his anger into maintaining his composure but the grimace still bleeds through.

"And some of them were our own."

"oh." there is a moment of recognition on her face. Her brain connects the dots to things she has seen, the contest that was conducted. Though not nearly as up to date as some she does pay attention to some degree.

Her brows knot together. "I'm going to assume we have no idea why they sought to blow it up? Let alone any of our own?"

She knows the answer, asking is in many ways routine. Clarification, setting things in stone. She doesn't wait for the answer she doesn't really need. "How big of a mess is it this time"

[attr="class","spiral"]Someone fucks up, Fernando expresses his grievances, a plan is formulated, rinse and repeat; the cycle is endless.

"Unfortunately." There's so little to go on that it becomes puzzling. There's something he's missing but he can't quite put his finger on it. Digging deeper has always been his strong suit but this time Fernando's looking for an explanation that doesn't exist. There's no solid background behind eliminating the tree.

"Not that big. The worst of it is that some of our members acted on their own accordance and there's footage to reinforce it."

Isra almost laughs, stifling it into a half snort. Because of course they did. "If they were planning to act on their own they should have at least put some effort into not being so blatantly caught." she states plainly. As if it should be obvious.

Papers move into heir places, keys clack against the otherwise silent evening air. "Who and how much of a problem will it be to deal with?" she continues to inquire, passing through the motions of interrogation. She could read whatever files have been placed on her desk about but it's always much more fun to talk to Fernando about it.

[attr="class","spiral"]"You would think."

Isra's amusement comes at his own expense. Although their actions don't represent his own, at a higher level any League related issue ultimately becomes his issue. His only solace is that she too can see the predicament of his situation. It helps to know that not everyone under League payroll is as shortsighted as they're made out to be.

"At this point bad PR doesn't amount to much. Nothing displacing blame and a few excuses that 'can't be revealed because confidential' can't fix."

There's a train of thought he had but it flees just as fast as it visits him. He pinches the bridge of his nose trying to recall it.

"What's more annoying is that our only lead is gone."

"Hmm..." the woman thinks on his response for a moment, not entirely certain she agrees but understanding why he states as such. There are always groups that do not quite believe what they are told, once the seeds exist there is always a chance for them to grow. Recent events have given room for them to be planted.

Regardless, she retorts in kind "I imagine enough of the public will agree with that explanation, so long as those that cry out otherwise aren't too many." or too convincing.

Isra sets the papers down, propping her elbow up on the desk. Her chin finds a home in her palm as she eyes him and the pinch of his brow. "What lead would that be?"

[attr="class","spiral"]"No one cares what the conspiracy theorist are saying. Most of them aren't Hoenn natives, and if they are they're out of touch with the Slateport Invasion."

The recent 'war' is the only thing holding them on track. Despite the bad PR, despite the numerous infractions, despite the tumultuous rumors surrounding and her involvement in both Slateport and murdering Bosch's father, this is still a better situation than being under siege in Slateport. Anyone who calls Hoenn home will remember the massacre and the heighten tension of Rocket's infiltration into the region.

Kanto is still a shithole after all.

"There were way too many people there. Not all of them League. We need to find out who and why."

"I don't know Fernando, sometimes they have amusing points." not interesting, not convincing, just amusing. Isra finds the ridiculous levels to which people go to explain things they don't know the finer details of to ber very amusing.

It is best of course, not to ask how she finds this information.

She looks at Fernando with a curious tilt in her head. "What is there in terms of a starting point?" certainly there are witness accounts at the very least, but more reliable information isn't always available.

Not that Fernando won't find a way.

[attr="class","spiral"]"Your amusing is my idiotic."

Considering the difference between them, Fernando's much too stuck up to find any sense of amusement by the mad ramblings of others. It's bad enough he has to handle the contention within their organization. Balder may be gone but handling him had been far from easy. Add that with the recent shift in veteran members, he's not too sure how much he can contain before it boils over into a renewal period.

And, to add insult to injury, he doesn't have an answer for her.

"We don't have one. Not anything concrete. Our best source is either dead or too reliant on their heart to think with their brain."

With a sigh, Fernando resigns himself to the investigation's dead end. "I have some people to interrogate but this'll probably end up a cold case until whoever's responsible decides to act out again." He pauses, grumbling to himself. "Fuck."

"What are your plans for the summer?"

"Ah."

Isra nods.

"So not quite a royal fuck up but pretty close." though only just barely, Slateport at new years probably worse over all, she thinks. If not for that then the term would likely apply this tonight. Almost nothing to go one, what tey do hae unreliable. It's almost laughable.

At least it's not her problem, not really.

She hums her thoughts before she speaks them. "Nothing too out of line." because the sun comes early and stays late in the summer months, she's not yet aware of how plans to take her along for the summer festivities and she hesitates to mention him to Fernando, it's none of his business anyay.

"Why?" she always seems to be asking him that.

[attr="class","spiral"]"Hm? A royal fuck up. That's putting it aptly."

Following that train of thought, someone's fuck over demands consequence and an appropriate punishment. Unfortunately, bureaucracy among the upper echelons rarely results in any meaningful change. This is why Fernando resigns himself to his fate, slowly becoming undone by his own lack of ability to force progress. One person can only do so much.

Which is why giving up becomes that much more appealing.

"I might be taking some time off to handle some personal projects." He pauses, thinking of a way to phrase this tactfully without being too obvious. "A vacation, if you will. Interested in keeping me company?"
