The tilt is there and his smile splits into a grin, though for once it lacks its typical, wolfish menace. No, in this moment, he’s simply… pleased. Warmth radiates from even the most minimal contact, and he could do far more but he’s mindful of the fact that as of yet, they are not behind closed doors.[break][break]

“If we were to be looking for the same thing, then it would be absurd to allow a perfectly good opportunity slip by, no?”[break][break]

“Certainly. If I found such a thing to be worth my while.” The answer is swift and decisive.It’s an indulgence that he shouldn’t partake of while working, but the hour is late and the clock runs down.[break][break]

So Enzo cannot find it in himself to be prudent. Professional or unprofessional, there are worse sorts he could spend his time with. And this feels far from regrettable.[break][break]

For a little while, it would simply be nice to forget alongside someone who understands.[break][break]

His hand shifts again. Turning just enough so that he is able to twine his fingertips with a loose strand of silver. His eyes study hers as he tucks her hair gently behind one ear—careful to drift along the shell of her ear.[break][break]

The slightest touch. Feather-light and ghostly.[break][break]

It’s a gentleness he only exhibits on occasion, and a movement that is maybe tinged with more melancholy than he means to betray. But even this feels like a humming echo. When he casts off reverberates in the center of her chest and returns to him.[break][break]

“I would confidently say your company is very much worth my while.” The edge of a teasing smirk ticks the corner of his mouth up. The hand that hovered close drops away—though not without the brush of knuckles along the soft line of her jaw, the slope of her neck. [break][break]

A hint of what other lines he could trace if given the opportunity.[break][break]

“But would you say the same of me? Enough to postpone your meeting?” Though he could be patient, he figures. If he must.

[attr="class","text"]Bored eyes scan the path for anything interesting. An eyebrow only perks when a galarian zigzagoon peers from around the side of a tree. “I know someone who might like you very much,” he mumbles, the bright blue of mint frost’s hair floating to the front of his mind. Doesn’t he usually have one of these scurrying about with him?[break][break]

A sharp whistle sends astra boltund forward. Pillars of earth shoot up around the zigzagoon and knock it back until it’s trapped in her STONE EDGE. With a satisfied smile, he lobs a safari ball of the top of the rocky cage.

[attr="class","text"]Enzo blinked a few times, mouth snapping shut as he realized his fumble. Johto. Who forgets their home region? Though he supposed if he told himself a lie for long enough… His eyes cut away from hers, because it seemed that she had also caught the slip, even if she hadn’t made mention of it. Normally, he might’ve tried to skirt around it and smooth it over, but– “I misspoke. It was Johto, not Sinnoh.”[break][break]

Clearly, geography had not been his key subject, either. “But yes, Alto Mare—except I didn’t visit it. I left it. I am…Johtonian. Not Hoennian.” Was he admitting that to her, or to himself? Regardless, it brought the people who knew up to two. He strode forward, as if he hadn’t made a kind of important admission about himself[break][break]

A grin carved across his face in response to her question. “Please, I always won.” That was not true, and usually his behavior came back to bite him. Sometimes literally, which was a benefit, but all the same–there had usually been consequences to playing wild cards.[break][break]

As they met a bend in the path, it became clear that a camerupt was blocking their path. Or “A moo moo,” as Miu would call it, and so that was what fell out of his mouth point blank before Astra leapt forward to bring it down with a powerful BITE.[break][break]

Too much time with the little girl was clearly affecting his vocabulary.

[attr="class","text"]What appears is not something that Enzo expects. “A fish out of water.” Spoken flatly as the wishiwashi flops loose from the foliage. It must have gotten itself stuck. Catching the thing isn’t really on his mind as he scoops it up in his hands.[break][break]

But he’s at least benevolent enough to plop the fish back into the water before dusting his hands and then continuing on with his walk.

Enzo couldn’t recall. In fact, he was fairly certain it was long before the hotel had opened. Now as he wandered through the trees along the dirt path, he barely remembered it. The safari zone was a quaint place, at least. Astra dogged his heels—watchful and reserved. He wondered if maybe sometime Miu might like to visit. It might make for a fun day trip to a little kid.[break][break]

Nearby, bushes rustled, snagging the attention of both himself and his lycanroc.

A brow lifts, his smile sharpens.[break][break]

The peal of laughter that follows isn’t mocking, but it is wise. “The answer to that is a tricky thing. You’ve handed me a double-edged sword.”[break][break]

If he were to say yes, it would be easy to quickly deem him as arrogant and presumptuous about where this might lead. If no, he shifts into a liar or a snob.[break][break]

“I would say the answer to your questions depends on what you are looking for.”[break][break]

The cutting edge of his smile dims, though, in the wake of her own answer. Mirrorlike, her words bounce back like a familiar echo. Coy and veiled and heavy with ache.[break][break]

“Yes, all the time.”[break][break]

His hand lifts as he smiles, fingers curling as if he were about to allow the back of his knuckles ghost across the curve of her cheek in a gentle touch. Then they twist like they might’ve tucked under her chin to tilt it up. He does all of this without truly touching her. Not even to dust feather-light against rose-tinged skin.[break][break]

“Yes, Miss Reyes. I would go so far to say the interest is assuredly there.”[break][break]

Close enough that if she wished for the contact, all she needs to do is lean into it. It is static, sparkler bright. A warmth he has allowed himself in some time—though he knows that this too will fade and cool just as the rest.[break][break]

Still, it is nice to entertain. Particularly when it seems she understands what he means when he says it exists every day like the weight of a rain that hasn’t broken yet.[break][break]

She knows this particular brand of hollow longing.[break][break]

Had they been elsewhere, he might’ve chanced indulging in that touch. Would’ve allowed his hand to settle there under her chin so that the pad of his thumb could press against the plush swell of her bottom lip.[break][break]

Would she allow that?[break][break]

“Misery does love company, does it not? Or, distractions, at the very least?”[break][break]

Would she allow this?

Despite the violence of their activities, Enzo felt a certain sort of comfort in returning to it. Whenever he’d been tasked with these one off missions–either on his own, or with a temporary partner, it had never felt quite right. Or the same as it had been when he and Kosei had been working together. Even if Enzo had made many jobs difficult or unnecessarily complicated, there was a particular understanding and cadence to how they worked together. Unspoken agreement in how to handle things. It was a relief that that hadn’t seemed to change.[break][break]

“Well then I am feeling moderately better.” His hand waved dismissively, though insisting as much hadn’t kept him from sidling up to Kosei. It was alarmingly easy to do when they were off on their own like this. Without prying eyes scrutinizing them. Maybe he should’ve been wary of that, but he wasn’t. Not anymore.[break][break]

“Oh, do you want me to give you my five point plan with photos? I would’ve thought you’d prefer a speed run. Or puppy dog eyes,” he laughed in turn, shaking his head. In truth, despite gunning for this exact opportunity, Enzo didn’t really have as much carefully planned as he made it seem. Mostly, he just had sentimentality to bank on, which was…more vulnerable.[break][break]

But of course, Kosei couldn’t just say yes right from the jump and allow him to avoid those soft, exposed justifications.[break][break]

“I’m not saying it would be,” he shot back, before sighing and at least attempting to let the clipped edge fade from his tone. “But it would be better, would it not? I’ve always told you there’s no use in pretending.” Even before Kosei had left Rocket, it’d been a routine reminder. Enzo might dress himself and play at classier than he actually was in the here and now, but that didn’t mean he denied those worse parts of himself, either.[break][break]

“It would be nice, if you were close,” he added, carefully slow and quiet, “that’s all. And…there’s always a place for you at the Nimbus, though I feel like you should already know that.” Even if it had been Enzo’s project and goal to begin with, they’d started it together. He’d never truly forgotten that.

[attr="class","text"]“Never did get out to Snowpoint, though maybe I should make the trip now.” Skiing and winter lodges had certainly never been in an affordable price range in those early years of his life. Astra slipped up beside him with a quiet wuff. Idly, his hand lowered to ruffle sunset-hued fur.[break][break]

At the description of Galar, Enzo tutted. “Sounds disappointing. Particularly at that age.” The conversation rerouted back to him, however, and he picked through his words carefully.[break][break]

“Mm, Alto Mare, for the most part.” A scoff of laughter bubbled up, allowing him to gloss over Sinnoh. “Someone’s curious,” he remarked, though the amused smile that hooked the corner of his mouth up belied the fact that he wasn’t truly defensive.[break][break]

After all, his earlier years in Rocket weren’t exactly secret so much as, maybe… unexpected.[break][break]

“Ah, well. I wasn’t exactly quite so…” he trailed, pausing to search for the right word. His nose wrinkled slightly. “personable, I suppose. Or put together.” A street rat only in those beginning stages of playing dress up, really.[break][break]

The rustling of nearby pokemon in the bushes went unacknowledged as he reminisced. “Probably one of the only abroad assignments my, ah, work partner and I did. And for good reason. He was a prickly, nervous wreck, and I was good at pushing buttons. We’d been sent off to collect a loan, and interrogate a deserter while we were at it. We’ll just say that I preferred more creative methods, than my partner’s preference for being straightforward.”[break][break]

In short, he’d always been a wild card where violence was involved. It was always fun, though. “I goaded him a few too many times, and it came back to bite me. Though, we were typically at each other’s throats more often than not.” In more colorful ways than one, he didn’t add aloud.[break][break]

He shrugged, nostalgic smile still present.

He deflected the subject back to her, careful to avoid the fact that he’d more than simply visited Sinnoh. As far as most were concerned, Enzo was native to Sootopolis, not Alto Mare. But surely it wasn’t a misstep to say he’d been there. Or perhaps if it was, it was a calculated misstep.[break][break]

So he’d claim. He wasn’t really sure what sort of game he was playing at just then.[break][break]

“Did you enjoy Galar?” he asked as he reached the pokeball he’d tossed, and stooped to pick it up. “The climate seems nice.”

[attr="class","text"] “So you say, but I’ll prove you otherwise,” he argued before pulling the lever on the machine. Granted, he was only able to prove his argument because of the luck that came with winning out of the next set of numbers. Regardless of the sheer luck, he still fixed a smug little smile at Kosei. “See? I can walk away now.”[break][break]

So long as the tables didn’t turn.[break][break]

The dinner was superb, but as the night wore on, and the call for the concluding fireworks came, Enzo found himself eager to step out onto the balcony and away from the chatter and music still in swing. Normally, he never tired of the noise and everything that Yumi had arranged for was excellent and a testament to her planning skills.[break][break]

A moment of quiet, though, sounded nice. Even his bickering with Kosei slowed its normally steady pace as he yet again dragged the other to their next destination–out the balcony doors and into the cool dark. Rather than step right up to the rail, he settled for a more secluded corner off to the side.[break][break]

The sizzle and crack of sound intercepted murmurings of quiet conversation as Bright blooms of color lit the night sky and colored Kosei’s profile in different hues. He’d (mostly) behaved, so could he deny himself from leaning up to pepper kisses along the other’s jaw? No. No he could not.[break][break]

Probably shouldn’t have been canoodling in a shadowy corner, but eh–it was late, and he didn’t really anticipate anyone paying them much mind. (Hopefully Yumi Hasegawa didn’t spot him, then he’d probably be in for a question or twenty.) Even that particular concern was tucked away in the back of his mind, though.[break][break]

“Terribly late, though, isn’t it? Can’t say I’m interested in taking the ferry now.” His chin propped on Kosei’s shoulder. The gesture was practically domestic of him. “Let’s just get one of these nice, redecorated rooms, yes?”[break][break]

The coy little smile on his face, however, was telling enough of the fact that he’d planned as much– of course, he’d already booked a room. The key card was, in fact, already in his pocket. “C’mon, I’ll get all those flowers out of your braid one way or another.”

[attr="class","text"]Brief silence fell between them as they walked, and for the first time in a while, he found himself curious as to what might come of their trip, and consequential conversations. He was prone to keeping his cards close to his chest. Everything about his past shrouded in a fine layer of intentional obscurity.[break][break]

As it stood, there was only one person around who knew about his life prior to Hoenn. But would the fact that he’d come to value Yumi nearly as one might a younger sister shift his openness? He wasn’t sure.[break][break]

Normally, that would be cause for internal alarm bells. It was strange that for the time being, they remained silent.[break][break]

Soon enough, the rustling nearby belied a wiry lucario. A sharp whistle sent Astra darting forward, the wordless command all that was needed to set her against it. The lycanroc let out a low wuff before the earth erupted under the jackal’s feet and a STONE EDGE slammed into it. Enzo paused, if only to send a pokeball hurtling toward the lucario before his attention returned to Yumi.[break][break]

His face twisted in thought as he did the mental math. “Oh, several years ago now. Once the hotel really took off, I suppose I didn’t travel quite as far as I used to, when I worked at a lower level.”
