"The mother of your unborn children-- or did you forget about her already?"

Of course Remi would know about cait alfric. Though she'd never spoken to the woman, Remi had always been pretty good at keeping tabs on the people she cared about. If they were tagged as important, she did her best to keep up with their lives, even if she wasn't willing to be part of it, herself.

Her history with Senon was questionable at best, but it didn't mean he meant nothing to her.

"She know you're here?"

In the other chair, Teddiursa has slumped down into a Valentine-cookie coma. Hidden in her fur is yet another heart-shaped lollipop that Remi hadn't noticed yet.

Remi does a double-take at the man who sits at her table. For one thing, he'd come out of nowhere and sat down as if he'd been here the entire time. But she's absolutely sure that she'd been alone when she arrived.

And then she recognizes his face and she leans back, exasperated. Of course it'd be him. Of all the people in Hoenn, of all the strangers in the sea of faces out here-- his was the one staring back at her.

He opens his mouth and says something stupid (but sweet) and the woman scowls.

"Oh fuck off.."

Hearing him say that made her uncomfortable, however. She shifts in her seat, her brows furrow briefly before she catches herself. Once upon a time, she'd considered settling down and having kids. But her lifestyle and her life choices prevented any of that from being a reality.

The closest she could get was her bear cubs, and they were still Pokemon, and she still used even them for her own personal gain.

"What are you doing here? Never took you for the unfaithful type."

She doesn't look back at andres buenaventura, even if he might like her to. Instead, she searches the room briefly for the shuffled name cards on the table, and, upon finding hers, sets her Teddiursa down on one of the empty chairs.

And while she waits for her date to arrive, she is busy wet-napping the cubs face. The teddy bear fusses and fights, pushing away her hands where they come in to dab at sprinkly, crumby cheeks. With an affectionate poke on Teddiursa's nose, Remi finishes and disposes of the napkin.

Remi chuckles, all semblance of duty and responsibility for her Teddiursa gone out the window. The two shovel treat after treat into their mouths so quickly she's sure the teddy bear will turn into a balloon.

"And what's for dinner?"

From under the table, she draws her foot up the inside of his leg slowly. Whether or not she means any of it is another story, one that would ultimately depend on how the rest of her night went and how easily she might be able to find him later. Something told her she wouldn't be the only woman he's be reciting these shitty pick-up lines too.

"Here." She slides him her number, roughly scribbled on her napkin. By the time she does, the buzzer goes off for them to change partners. She winks. "If you're still hungry later."

They act as one, and for just a moment, she has the adrenaline rush and the hallucination that they're in an action movie. The next step was their superhero landing, but would they perfect it?

Beneath her feet, the earth rumbles with a ferocity to challenge the gods. In one motion, she nearly severs a segment of the gigantic Seviper. Almost, but not quite. Unfortunately, as much damage as they deal, this gargantuan brute seems to possess the ability to regenerate. Really convenient, and another reason Remi is certain they're all going to die here.

For the glory of Rocket, right?

Somewhere in the background, Remi's UNOWN-K veers off on its own to regroup with the rest of them. Whatever attempts to open up a portal or something to get them out of dodge would probably take a while longer, but with a few extra hands on deck.. maybe, just maybe.

But for now, they have another problem bubbling up from the cracks in the ground and the rivers freshly dug by Seviper's wrath. Blood boils more than skin deep, rising from the depths to raise more hell. Before her very eyes, she sees herself. Of course, the bloody copy is hideous and horrifying. She throws up her hands quickly to protect herself, pushed back by her copy's brute force.

And, while she and her Krookodile work together to defend from her blood copy, she sees that they've been graced with the arrival of another legendary Pokemon. This one was shrouded in darkness, vengeful and enraged. She couldn't blame it, honestly, this entire situation was incredibly fucked up.

Remi lunges at the vestiges of herself with a DRAGON CLAW while her Krookodile aims to INTIMIDATE and THRASH it. Given that her hands are quite literally full of blood, she is unable to help combat the snake. Hopefully, Gavin's request for the freed agents to tackle the demon would go through. They were almost certainly running out of time.

"Sure hope nobodies ingesting anything out here! Hate for us to catch some sort of Pokérus or something."

Speaking of, the woman spits pre-emptively in case any of her blood-copy has sprayed her. Absolutely disgusting. How was that portal coming?

notes:
- preoccupied with her bloody copy
- used DRAGON CLAW and krookodile's INTIMIDATE + THRASH to hopefully deal with it
- cracking jokes
- remi's unown-k is helping with the portals or something.
- go team go!!

When Andres loosens his grip on Chuchi, Remi seems to have lost her handle on her Teddiursa, too. In the span of a second, the two are elbows deep in those heart shaped cookies. Teddiursa clearly thinks of this as a competition, and one she's determined to win.

Remi, on the other hand, is smirking at her date from across the table. He's confident and she can get behind that, but does he have what it takes to keep her interested?

"Oh, you will will you?" she leans in where he does, tickled by his confidence. "Lucky for you, I'm a bit more of a night hawk. What else you got?"

Teddiursa, up until right now, hadn't noticed the Chuchi. Even when she wags her tail and her eyes widen in awe at the lollipop stuck to her chest, she's far more enthused with her sweet treats and her clumsy bear claws. Remi is literally subconsciously assisting and replacing treats in the little cubs hands without thinking. The responses are automatic, as if she does this often.

"That's what someone who's overcompensating would say." She narrows her eyes, but her smirk persists. "Not a very good success rate. You sure you're good at this?" He mentions that he uses that line in the gym or PTA meetings. Also not surprising.

"Mmmm.. possibly. Keep it up and we'll see."

Remi is sort of wrestling a fat silver Eevee of her own. But instead of silver and an Eevee, it's brown and a Teddiursa. On more than one occasion the little teddy bear has produced an abundance of FAKE TEARS in order to sway people into giving her free snacks. There was chocolate smeared around her mouth and a heart-shaped sucker stuck to her chest.

She was saving it for later, obviously, so don't anyone dare touch it.

Remi sits down across from the man with the Eevee without much to say, as she is busy readjusting the Teddiursa in her lap and taking a moment to make sure her child is comfortable. But her attention flicks up with a bemused smirk. It only takes him a moment, but in the span of one breath this man has managed to lay on the charm heavy.

"So I take it you're overcompensating? 'Cause you definitely do this kind of thing often. That line work on the other girls?"

There is a distinctly playful twinkle in her eye with each jab she takes. She chuckles, clumsy and warm as she begins to clamber toward him. In doing so she loses her balance and is forced to catch herself, and she sucks in a breath and winces at the twinge in her back. All it does is make her laugh harder.

"I'm an old woman, too."

The click of his tongue prompts an amused smirk, and she lifts her hand again to pull him and herself to her feet. He suggests crawling and she shrugs. "Alright. Let's crawl then."

And crawl they do, and they look ridiculous while they do it. It is terrible on Remi's knees, however, and she hisses in pain at the cold that seeps in and makes her stiff and sore. She exhales breathless laughter, shaking her head when they reach the snowbank and path.

"Shit-- I don't think I can get up. Leave me, save yourself." She drawls out dramatically, flopping onto her back with one arm draped over her forehead. She's smiling.

"Mmm.." she slips slightly, drunkenly grinning as warm water laps at her chin. When it touches her lips, however, she sits up a little bit straighter and blinks one eye open lazily. Her smile grows, she exhales, she laughs.

"Remi."

And her attention on him fixates when he sinks deeper. With him comfortable, she feels something familiar tug at him. He holds out his arm, flexes his finger, and she is spurred into action. How could she say no? The purr in his voice begs for her to come closer, and without hesitation she does.

Water splashes and she's clumsy and she is unceremonious when she plops down into his lap. Her brow raises, her eyes narrow, and her smirk is predatory.

"Hi."

By the time Remi runs into her final catch of the evening, her remaining Sneasel is fast asleep on her shoulder. It doesn't even stir when the little golden puppy begins to bark at her, forcing her to take a step or two back.

"I did not sign up to get bitten today."

She fishes for a pokeball, continuing to back away from the vicious little mongrel. Naturally, she hasn't yet noticed the stash of berries that it's protecting. But it doesn't matter because she quickly takes care of the situation. She treats the Growlithe similarly to the Meowth she has at home.

Everytime the Growlithe lunges forward, the woman sprays it with a squeeze of her Kingdra squirter. It's a real live Pokemon, sure, but it douses the puppy in a spray of water every time Remi gives a little squeeze. It seems indignant and irritable when she ultimately returns it in favor of capturing the Growlithe-- but it worked.

"Wonderful, let's go home."
