Mercution should've gone for the meinshao, he should've. But once again his uncertainty got the best of him....drat. The Machoke was the next thing to catch his sight and you know what, fine. He'd do this. Going for something was better than just walking home empty handed again. Sure, was it really important to get this pokemon? It might not be...but at teh same time, why did he want to at least feel like he made some progress? He needed to make some progress!!

"Matlock! can you hear me?!" MErcutio called, looking up to the sky.

Nothing, the starvia had moved out of sight...dang it. Looking back to the pokemon, Mercution felt everything go tense as the pokemon seemed on edge. Mozart clinged to the man, shaking slightly. Not good...not good. Sure he had other pokemon he could use but Matlock was a bird type, that was super effective against the muscle pokemon. The Machoke was already ready to fight though, raising a hand and swinging it toward the man!!

Out maneuvering a pokemon was a bad idea, you wouldn't always stay on top of em, even if you did dodge. But Mercutio had some fighters training and while it wasn't the same as what a pokemon like this did, the man would rather try to imply tactics he knew, than try to outrun it. Ducking down as the cross chop sailed over his head, Mercutio ran past them. He was gonna have to find that bird and start training them.

The only thing that really annoyed him though was going home empty handed once more.

"I just want to be sure it was." Mercutio replied, finally picking up the burger in order to eat more than just the fries.

It didn't do well to let food get cold, not that he was that picky with most things. He could eat cold burgers and fries, it didn't taste as good but it was still edible. He just didn't want to seem rude in front of Choi for not eating sooner. The conversation did take over much of what they were doing here. Finishing the bite he was chewing on, he swallowed it before he'd answer.

"I'm a butler, I serve the Apricot family as one. I'm expected to uphold the mannerisims and such outside of the household." Mercutio answered.

To keep up appearances and such. Welp...now he just had to keep a second secret from them. Hopefully it would work. The man went on to work on eating his food. It didn't need to get any colder.

You'd always get people like that, even those who had everything they could desire. At the prospect of being hidden from the law and doing things for potential darker reasons, did pull those kind of people to things. Granted, Mercutio wasn't sure at all why he agreed. He just wanted a place to belong, to fit in. He wouldn't have that at the Apricot House...but at the same time, he didn't wish ill to the young masters.

He listened in silence as the other kept going. So far the man hadn't touched his food, giving his full focus to this more...serious manner.

"There is also how family doesn't backstab another, I am reliable. But you must be able to promise that at no time, should the Apricot family be purposefully dragged into this." Mercutio replied, his tone just as serious as he looked at the other through his glasses. "While my views of the current master of the house aren't positive, the young masters need not be dragged into things. I have obligations to the young masters as well, i don't want things I do here to end up worming their way to harm them."

With the hand extended, Mercutio reached and shook it.

"Thank you and perhaps we will run into each other again." Mercutio replied, shaking their hand a final time and releasing it.

The gardevoir he spotted did catch his attention, the graceful pokemon would work well in his work environment. And perhaps, could help in other ways. He passed on many pokemon today, he was going to end this on a different note. So, he took out Maybelle's pokeball and released her once more. The large dog looked and easily spotted the femmine like pokemon. And the gardevoir was well aware of the two of them. The gardevoir raised their hands, focusing their energy into a attack. Unleashing the energy as a psybeam that was sent hurtling toward the granbull.

"Dodge it, try and get close to it with a ice fang!" Mercutio ordered, already reaching into his pocket to pull out a spare pokeball.

Maybelle obeyed the order, barely dodging the attack as it rushed past her. Rushing toward the thin pokemon, ice collected around her sharp teeth and she opened her maw as she thrust herself forward to try and close the gap. The powerful jaws snapped at thin air sadly, her attack missing and the gardevoir let out a powerful sound, Disarming voice! The move hit however, it didn't do as much damage as the pokemon might've been hoping for.

"Headbutt, quick!" Mercutio instructed.

Lowering her head, Maybelle lunged forward. Using Headbutt in order to slam her large skull into the gardevoir's midsection. With that, Mercutio threw the pokeball in the hopes of catching it. They didn't need the fight to keep going or risk getting out of hand right now.

When the waitress was gone and the food was before them, Mercutio looked to his meal. It looked normal for a place like this, so he merely picked up a frenchfry and ate it. Yep, cooked all the way through and was the standard for any normal frenchfry. He wouldn't moved on to try the burger if not for...the other's words.

"You.....would've...?" Mercutio questioned in a very low voice, there was a tone to his voice that he hadn't suspected such a thing would even be something he had to worry about.

So...his life was literally on the line here. While the other was frail and sickly, he didn't dare underestimate what they could do. After all, one doesn't just say that kind of thing if they haven't done it before. Sure, they could've ordered others to do it. But Mercutio wasn't going to rule out that somehow, Chu-e had done what they said themself. Sure he knew this wasn't going to be a clean road but...was his life really that heavily on the line?

"I may be displeased with how the world is and how certain things factor into where others will place you in the scheme of things, but I'm far from being crazy. Displeased and satisfied, sure. That I can say about myself. Crazy, no..." Mercutio replied. "And what exactly was this performance review? Surely not the pikachu swarm?"

An Enforcer? Truthfully, Mercutio would work fine as physical muscle, but there was things he would doubt that could get in the way of that. His strength was honestly a outlet for himself, those fights in the underground ring where he was the one fighting...that was him letting loose steam.

"And what jobs are you talking about?" mercutio added.

Chu-e Choi

The small pikipek cry reached his ears and he looked to see the small bird watching Matlock with curiosity. Mercutio didn't think it would pose a threat so he left it alone, thankfully it wasn't showing interest in Mozart. So the man at least could relax his hold on the little bug; however Mozart seemed to cling harder to him. Any bird probably scared a pokemon pokemon. Welp, one more look around wouldn't hurt.

Eevee was a very useful pokemon, it was unique with all it's varying evolutions. The potential it had was great. Truthfully, Mercutio was hopeful for what potential evolutions could come about in the future. This pokemon was always changing, once every few years or so, it seemed to gain a new evolution. He watched as Senone handled the fight with the eevee and this normal pokemon seemed to be a bit more hardy as it stood it's ground longer. It had a strong spirit in his mind.

The obstagoon caught his attention as he heard it making a noise. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw it sticking it's tongue out before rushing off. Mercutio gave a sigh and shook his head. This just wasn't the grandest of days to look for something when you weren't really planning on it. Should he just go for a pokemon without thinking it over?

"Do you considering the pokemon before you catch it? Or do you already have a plan?" Mercutio asked.

Mercutio stayed still as he sat there. His brows narrowed somewhat was he sat there; his gaze directed at the table. No...no he didn't like it. But since he already took multiple fights in the ring, the name was cemented in stone. Besides...it's not like he could hide it and getting it fixed probably wouldn't be worth it in the end. After all, no one else seemed to think about fixing the issue all those years ago...so what difference would it make now?

"Just how the world goes I've found...." Mercutio replied, picking up the spoon that was wrapped in a napkin with the butter knife and fork.

His attention went to Choi as they spoke in agreement about wanting to belong somewhere. It helped still some of his displeasure toward the world...if only a little.

"Well at least I'm not the only one who wanted something simple..." Mercutio answered. "I believe I get what you mean."

Chu-e Choi

Mercutio caught onto her tone of voice and the stop in pulling on him made him confused.

"I'm sorry, have I said something wrong? My deepest apologizes if so, I didn't mean to offend or anger you madam." Mercutio apologized.

What had he done wrong? It had to be something he said right? She was fine up to this point....contest...was that it? Was it because this act of charity was being done through a competition? It wasn't ideal, he could see that but...did that word have a more negative meaning than just that? He didn't know....he didn't know this lady....oh dear. What had he done tooffend her? Thinking he could make it up by carrying something, he was quickly unable to do so as she was quick to scoop evrything up and go on ahead. A small sigh left him as he stood there but he ended up following after her.

A company building came into view and that already told him that if his boss found out about his blunder, well..he probably was in some trouble. A company building meant wealth and a buisness, the fact she was taking food items there meant she either lived there or was part of the family. Still he followed along and stayed quiet until they arrived to the kitchen. The man worked to roll up his sleeves as the young lass spoke a introduction but she soon brought up the important question.

"Mercutio Kyle, pleasure to meet you all." Mercutio greeted, giving a formal bow.

Sure they were mostly staff in this kitchen and he took was just a member of staff at the Apricot Household. But he found it better to be formal even with those of his shared standing. With his sleeves rolled up, he made sure they were secured, and moved to wash his hands.

"Where would you like to begin?" he asked.
