lavender eyes are drawn to the swirling scrawl of the girl next to her, watching it vanish beneath the eraser's edge almost as soon as it appears. even so, she can't help but think:

[break][break] 'her handwriting is cute.'

[break][break] her cheeks flush at the prospect of hanging out with sasky's family, her thoughts going into hyperspeed.

[break][break] 'wait! meet your family - isn't that going a little - '

[break][break] she blinks.

[break][break] "sven?"

[break][break] but before she can let those thoughts get ahead of her, sasky is continuing on, bubbly and infectious as ever.

[break][break] "oh, that's nice. i imagine it's fun to get out there." she swallows, curiosity beckoning her. "isn't it dangerous though?"

[attr="class","textbody"] 'He's so kind,' she would think later, when she would be embarrassed about the vulnerability that she showed him - her Boss - in this moment. Later, she would be mortified and send texts to or or whoever else, lamenting the difficulty of this moment back at them.

[break][break] But for now, it was deceptively easy. The words spilled out of her mouth like water.

[break][break] "I... I used to be an ice skater. My name is Beaufort, but I was raised as a Pryde." The Kalosian family was renown within Kalos for their excellence in law and diplomacy. Several of Mari's "family" members were quite a stronghold to be named. "Nana didn't care what I did, as long as I did it excellently — and ice skating was my passion."

[break][break] She swallowed thickly.

[break][break] "I was mentored by Nerezza Fisk," she said. "And set up to be one of the youngest to participate in the Junior Grand Prix, back then..."

[break][break] Her breath stuttered.

[break][break] "But - then that - happened, and then I was hurt. The d-doctor said that I couldn't compete anymore, not professionally. It was too dangerous.. I .. "

[break][break] Her eyes shut, and she wiped her eyes.

[break][break] "I'd given that dream up. I thought - I thought it would be fine, just to do it casually, but I ..."

[break][break] She shook her head.

[break][break] "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have - I shouldn't have come here."

[attr="class","textbody"] She would think about it later. The kind way that he treated her, the heat of his hand on her knee, the way that her heart calmed when she found herself looking into that pool of liquid gold.

[break][break] At the moment, though, she could barely focus on breathing.

[break][break] "I - no, I'm sorry. I-I-I need a minute."

[break][break] Her fingers tensed into a fist at both her knees as she tried to focus on the sound of her heartbeat, trying to erase the memories that had re-appeared moments ago. Inexplicably, she leaned against his shoulder as she sought to gain her breath.

[break][break] "I'm sorry," she sniffled. "I wanted this to be a fun day. I didn't - I didn't think I would - it's been years."

[break][break] Her voice sounded watery.

[break][break] "I used to love ice skating," she whispered.

her cheeks warmed.

[break][break] "i could send you the link later," she mumbled. "if you like."

[break][break] cute stationary was one of her favorite things, especially since nana required that she write to her every so often to update her on her progress in hoenn.

[break][break] "yeah?" mari said, tilting her head. she tries to imagine what 's family must be like. they must be at least half as nice as her, which is a comforting thought.

[break][break] her fingers needle together on her lap.

[break][break] "i miss my family," she confesses. "i'm alone in hoenn. nana was nice enough to help me with a job here, and it's been great! but..." she shakes her head. "anyways, it must be really nice to have your family here."

[break][break] "a-and the rangers too!" she squeaks. "what are they like?"

[attr="class","textbody"] Mari was proud of herself.

[break][break] She was proud of the fact that she had spent the last several months without thinking of this. Without thinking of the ice and the feeling of wind gliding through her hair, the lurch in her throat when she would jump and do a triple-axle. She was proud of the fact that she couldn't remember the feeling of that false-start, that jump, that ended with her careening into the ground, her ankle falling in an unpleasant way. The sound of cameras shuttering, shouts that echoed, the uneven tilt of 's voice as she screamed for her.

[break][break] She was proud, because she hadn't thought of that, not until this moment.

[break][break] Mari could barely register the sound of herself falling, scraping against the pavement, let alone the strong arms of gathering around her crumpled form and picking her up easily from the rink.

[break][break] She was still cowering by the time that Julien lowered her onto the bench but eventually, her breath came back to her. Her vision, blurred with tears, cleared.

[break][break] The young woman gave a sharp intake of breath, hiccuping as she wiped the tears haphazardly from her cheeks.

[break][break] "I-I'm sorry. I don't... I don't know what came over me."

[attr="class","textbody"] "y-yeah. i was nineteen."

[break][break] for a moment, she paused, as a fleeting memory swept through her. the image of her gracefully skating alongside , twirling and gliding across the icy surface. it had once been so effortless. back then, everything had been so different. easier.

[break][break] she was so carried away with the thought, she didn't have time to be embarrassed at the way looked at her.

[break][break] when he asked her, however, why she stopped, she positively froze. her hands closed tightly around his in a vicegrip.

[break][break] "i - "

[break][break] she could feel everything grow smaller, tighter. suddenly, fear squeezed her throat, immobilizing her. her voice was small when she answered.

[break][break] "no - no, it wasn't school - i can't - "

[break][break] "i'm sorry. i have to go."

[break][break] her breath hitched and she suddenly shoved herself away from julien, skidding across the ice. she fumbled, knees snapping harshly against the pavement. she couldn't focus on that, the pain of ice scraping against her skin. all she could focus on the fact was that she couldn't breathe.

mari on the other hand couldn't not think about someone rubbing sunscreen on her back. she was - for all means and purposes - had been raised as an only child who had never known the closeness and comfort of someone like that.

[break][break] even her and had never —

[break][break] "r-really?" she squeaks as saskia gushes over the water-type eraser caps. they were cute, weren't they? "y-yeah i bought a new set like, a week ago. did you know they're coming out with an eevee set?"

[break][break] mari is a little dazed as she watches the other girl plop down onto the sand beside her, water plunge all but forgotten. but mari doesn't mind, not really. she just is happy to have some company.

[break][break] prickly and soft? what is that even like?

[break][break] she clears her throat.

[break][break] "my nana's kind of like that. she's really serious - she has to be, because of who she is - but she's also really kind sometimes too. she didn't have to take me in when - " mari cuts herself off suddenly, rapidly changing topics. "um, anyway, she can be kind of scary but i think one-on-one she's not that bad."

[break][break] "i've never known my grandpa. he passed when i was really young, before i started living with my nana."

[attr="class","textbody"] His hands closed around hers and it felt wrong for it to feel so good. So safe.

[break][break] 'He's your boss!' a voice inside her screamed.

[break][break] "U-um! That would be nice, I think. Thank you." Her voice felt meek. But then again, she always melt meek in comparison to the perfection that was .

[break][break] Mari focused on her breathing, trying to force the memories out of her mind. It was going to be fine. It was years. Her injury had healed. The doctor said it was fine, that she could do this, that —

[break][break] "Huh? Sorry - what?" Her cheeks flushed. She hadn't been paying attention! "Oh, um. It's been at least three years."

[break][break] Had it really been that long? Time had blurred together. Her heart tanked into something bittersweet. How had she let it be so long since she'd been on the ice?

[break][break] Guilt flickered through her face like a movie screen.

"oh!" mari blinked in surprise when her idea worked. hurriedly, she scrambled to catch up to the other girl and her pokemon.

[break][break] "y-yeah, i'm coming!"

[break][break] mari didn't know how much help she'd be — after all, she was barely a pokemon trainer herself — but she was far from saying no to someone who asked.

[break][break] especially to a pretty girl.

[attr="class","textbody"] She was late!

[break][break] Some last minute paperwork for had kept her in the office later than she anticipated.

[break][break] And she'd wanted to make sure to complete everything for him since she was going to be away for a couple of days.

[break][break]

[break][break] 'You're going away for the weekend?' he'd asked, looking up from his desk.

[break][break] She couldn't read his expression, but then again, she could never quite read it. When she bobbed her head in agreement, he was silent for a moment in a way that made her apprehensive.

[break][break] 'Hope you have an enjoyable time, Miss Mari. By the way, would you be able to drop this off on your way?'

[break][break] It had startled her, because she'd thought she'd completed all the ticketed items. Where had this report come from? But Mari hadn't had time to think about it. She just smiled her simple, demure smile and nodded at him before scurrying to pack up her things.

[break][break]
[break][break]

It had delayed her by an hour. She had texted the girls to let them know, but she was still mortified. After all, outside of and , she didn't know any of them. She'd just been invited out of association, because her friends had found out that she was in Hoenn.

[break][break] Mari swallowed as she landed on her Altaria, doing the human equivelent of fluffing her feathers out of anxiety. Her hands pleated against her skirt, before she stepped across the open field to where the other women gathered.

[break][break] As she did so, she couldn't help her eyes from wandering in amazement.

[break][break] 'This looks... wonderful!'

[break][break] Her cheeks flushed. Mari had never done something quite like this before. After all, Nana had kept things under quite a tight ship back in Ambroise. She likely would've found an activity such as this unbelievably foolish and unladylike.

[break][break] Nimbus wandered off to greet the other pokemon that had been left on the field, which left Mari and her Glaceon to greet the women who were gathered about, cheerfully discussing what items they'd brought.

[break][break] Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear.

[break][break] Desiree hadn't mentioned she'd needed to bring anything!

[break][break] "Hi," she said, ushering behind Desiree, a dainty hand on her friend's shoulder and a pleasant blush on her cheeks. "I hope I'm not too late."

[attr="class","textbody"] She flinched when she heard 's smooth voice carry over to her, golden like honey. It seemed that the irate mother behind her seemed to think the same — her face also reddened at the light chiding, before she ushered her daughters to one of the rink's other entrances, leaving both Mari and the Kalosian Ambassador alone once more.

[break][break] "T-thank you," she squeaked, taking his offered hand.

[break][break] 'You don't need it,' a voice inside of her reminded her. 'You're just using him.'

[break][break] Her trembling fingers grasped his hand tightly as the slid onto the rink, her movements slow and uncertain, but more because of the situation that had just transpired, not because she'd forgotten how.

[break][break] "I'm sorry," she said softly once they were closer to the edge of the rink, gloved fingers still wrapped tightly around his own. "I - It's just been a while since I've skated."

[break][break] I'm scared.

[attr="class","textbody"] "Oh! Not since you were a boy?"

[break][break] Mari tried to think about what would have been like when he was younger. A young child with perfectly
coiffed blond hair and liquid gold eyes. The thought made her blush for some reason, but luckily it was cold, so she could hide in her scarf.

[break][break] Reaching for the outstretched hand, she allowed her dainty hands to be eclipsed by his as she was led to her feet. It wasn't that she needed it for balance, but she knew it ought to be the proper thing to do as a lady — to allow herself to be led around by this handsome man.

[break][break] Mari followed him to the rink's edge. The sound of metal slicing cleanly against salted ice as they skated around the rink filled her ears, nostalgic and pure, and she hesitated at the entry way. Her fingers curled around the rink's edge, hesitating.

[break][break] Her stomach gave a sudden terrifying somersault, hands trembling.

[break][break] Behind them, someone complained.

[break][break] "Come on! Get on with it already!"

[attr="class","textbody"] Hearing her name called, the young immediately started. 's voice washed over her like liquid gold and it immediately made her cheeks flush.

[break][break] He looked even more handsome than usual, dressed in casual clothing compared to his usual formal attire.

[break][break] Her hands twisted together anxiously, lifting up a nervous smile towards him. A slight dip of her head. "Mister Demassieux," she greeted, her tone taking a bit of a Kalosian accent.

[break][break] At his question, she nodded. Behind the nervousness, there was a bit of excitement in her eyes. It had been far too long since she'd taken to the ice. Would it remember her?

[break][break] "I- I am," she gulped. "How about you? Have you skated before?"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD MAN [GIFT]

A GIFT

FROM [break]TO


One day in December, coincidentally on 's birthday, he will arrive to his office to find a small package on his desk. It is a luxuriously festive wrapped gift, a white box with a shimmering gold and red tinsel. Within it is a pokeball and a deep blue pocket square.

[break][break] A small note reads:

[break][break] 'Happy Holidays, sir! Thank you for the dinner the other night. Please accept this gift in return from the Beaufort family. — '

[break][break] If looks up from his desk, he would see his secretary sitting at her desk as always, if only a slight blush adorning her cheeks before she ducks behind her computer screen.

[attr="class","textbody"] had told her to go for it. that it would be okay. she convinced her that it had been years since that moment, that she had healed, and that there was no reason that she couldn't enjoy her time today.

[break][break] putting aside the fact that her friend's enthusiasm at her going out with someone else made her heart twist in a way that she couldn't quite explain, mari was also conflicted because she hadn't told sasky the whole truth.

[break][break] she hadn't really said who she was going with.

[break][break] 'but this is fine,' mari said, standing outside evergrande's ice rink. a light blue infinity scarf was wrapped around her neck, complimenting her beige jacket rather well. beneath her jacket, she wore a thick winter dress and leggings to keep herself warm.

[break][break] this was fine, because this was just a work event. just a bit of networking.

[break][break] and, after all, it wasn't like she could've said no right?
