As the second son...[break][break]
Mei listened, engrossed by every detail Julien was willing to divulge about his circumstances - about the past that had shaped him. Where there might have been resentment - for an older brother that had been handed success on a silver platter - there was only pride, and a steadfast confidence in his own capabilities. There was something admirable about a man who preferred the harder road, who embraced the difficulties his life had thrown at him.[break][break]
The way he was looking at her made her stomach flutter, so intense was his golden gaze. As for his question...[break][break]
Mei considered it, thinking back to when she had first left Kanto. She had wanted freedom then: the autonomy to choose her clients and her contracts. Now that she had that, what did she really want?[break][break]
Her free hand brushed against her abdomen, a seemingly absent gesture.[break][break]
"I want to take care of people," she murmured. "Children, especially." She paused, feeling the sorrow squeezing its way through her ribs. "I do it now, in a sense - but my reach is limited."[break][break]
She remembered what it had been like, to grow up homeless, on the streets of Celadon.[break][break]
"I was - am - an orphan. If I could give every lost little girl a better life, I would."

His praise, complimented by a dazzling smile, sent a thrill through Mei. She grinned back, pleased, finding it easy to believe he truly did value her insight. She'd advised clients before, it wasn't an unheard of request, but there was something utterly compromising about the way he seemed to chew on her words as if they, too, were as delicious as the meal: worth savoring, and more importantly, worth remembering.[break][break]
The magic of the moment was broken by the wait staff beginning the process of clearing their table, however. An unhappy pang of disappointment nagged at Mei as the orchestral background music seemed to wind down as well. The dinner had flown by; it felt as if they were only just getting started learning more about one another, but now they would have to - [break][break]
Julien's eyes sparkled as he extended the invitation to visit the rose garden. Delighted, Mei eagerly took his hand, allowing him to pull her gently to her feet. She rounded the table, graceful movements the very definition of elegance, though inwardly, her joy was a childish thing - all giggles and kicking feet.[break][break]
"I could do with a little walking after all of that rich food," she replied, a hint of playful jest. Then she gazed up at him with sincere gratitude. "It was incredible - the best I've had in a long time."[break][break]
The rose garden was, indeed, small - and mostly barren, frost covering thorns. The tight quarters did not bother Mei, however. More reason to press herself close to Julien, taking his arm in hers. She remembered the hotel room, then, and the jacuzzi, and she ached to draw him down to her for a kiss. Not because it was expected, but because she wanted to.[break][break]
Instead, she stopped to admire a single white rose - one of the few that had endured the winter. Perhaps its snowy color had offered it some measure of protection.[break][break]
"I know you have important work to do on behalf of your government, ambassador," she murmured, then. "But what is it that you want?"[break][break]
All people had selfish desires, she knew.

Mei had been somewhat less diligent about her alcohol intake, the subtle buzz of the expensive vintage loosening any lingering inhibitions. The only visible changes to her physical appearance were a brightening of her eyes and a slight flush to her cheeks, but the giddy delight she felt whenever Julien addressed her had been present long before the wine had begun to take effect.[break][break]
Mei's attention sharpened, however, sultry smile sobering into a thoughtful expression, as he made the unexpected request for her opinion regarding his upcoming speech. It was a somewhat intimidating question, but Mei did not back down from it. In fact, she relished the trust - preening slightly even as she weighed the various pros and cons of the different approaches he could take.[break][break]
"Nobody likes being thought of as a victim," she murmured, fingertip tracing the lip of her wineglass. "I would show them respect rather than pity. Our region is anomalous - dangerous - yes. But Hoenn is full of capable trainers, competent government officials, and brilliant minds."[break][break]
She eyed him, mouth quirking into a slight smile once more.[break][break]
"You may view their resistance to your aid as stubborn foolishness, and at its core, it is. But it is also pride, and it is also faith, and it is also determination. Laude the Hoennians for their devotion to their region, their belief in their own strengths, and their ability to remain steadfast through disaster after disaster. Make them appreciate you for being able to see them not as an ambassador hoping to broker a deal, but as an eager student of a safer region, desperate to learn from their courageous example - should Kalos be next."

"I purchased it from a boutique chocolate shop in Mauville called Temptation," Mei answered, pleased to hear that Julien had enjoyed her gift. "My roommate recommended it." Yumi always knew where to find the highest quality things.[break][break]
Thanks to the prix fixe, Mei did not need to burden herself with any decision making or meal selection. She could simply sit back and enjoy Julien's company as decadent dish after decadent dish was presented to them. Every time she tasted something, it was more delicious than the last. Rather than suppress her delight - a different woman might have felt anxious about appearing uncultured - Mei let out soft sighs of pleasure, revealing the sincere appreciation she felt for the rich Kalosian cuisine.[break][break]
"So," Mei began, leaning in somewhat conspiratorially. "What's keeping you busy as of late, ambassador? I heard about that business with the mysterious island off Dewford. Were you involved in all that?"

Julien Demassieux was as handsome and chivalrous as he'd been during their first encounter, but it was the way he regarded her that sent a distinct thrill through Mei. They were surrounded by decadence, but he looked at her as if she were the only thing he wanted to savor that evening. His lips pressed to the back of her hand, a simple - yet intimate - gesture, and it caused a small shiver to travel up her spine.[break][break]
"Not long at all," she assured him, taking back her hand and settling it on her lap, the skin he'd kissed prickling as if charged with electricity. "I'd hardly taken my seat when you walked through the door."[break][break]
Mei had experienced tasting menus before, but there was a certain elegance to the Kalosian prix fixe. The waiter regaled them with the chosen dishes as if he were telling a grand tale, each one a notable stop along what ought to be a highly satisfactory journey. Once he'd departed, Mei took a sip of her wine, finding that it was deliciously smooth and subtle. How much did this meal cost? She wondered.[break][break]
Mei blushed when Julien mentioned the ratatouille, but she soon recovered, setting down her glass and eyeing him mischievously.[break][break]
"Well, you spoke so highly of it that I became curious," she replied. "I like to cook, so I wanted to learn the recipe. My first attempt was...decent." Yumi had seemed to like it well enough. "It's a beautiful dish. So vibrant. I like the idea of a meal that is both pleasing to the eye and the palette."[break][break]
She smiled back at him. She liked her men that way, too.

A dinner date with a rich and powerful man was nothing new for Mei. So why did her stomach flutter as she glided up to the entrance of Le Petit Pearl? A single blue rose, the color of a clear sky after a freshly fallen snow, came to mind. She took a deep breath, settling her nerves, then pushed open the door to the high-end Kalosian restaurant.[break][break]
She was greeted by a smiling host dressed in a dapper blue suit. He took her coat and guided her to her table in what felt like one fluid motion; to her surprise, Julien Demassieux had not yet arrived.[break][break]
She slid into her seat with an elegant nod of gratitude to the host, outwardly unfazed by her temporary solitary status. She reminded herself that Julien was a busy man; making time for a date with an escort was a luxury, not a necessity - and anyway, she had a feeling he would not keep her waiting too long.[break][break]
Sure enough, she caught a glimpse of his tall figure before a server could offer her a drink while she waited, and her chest tightened with a sudden anticipation. All around her, pristinely dressed diners clinked glasses in tune with the restaurant's soft classical music.

Deimos hopped over to Mei, a strand of red berries in his mouth. Mei took it from him thoughtfully, wondering if she could use it for her snowboy.[break][break]
"Let's get drinks after," she added to Yumi Hasegawa's declaration. "A girl's night."[break][break]
She smiled at nabi park, curious about the other woman's background. She enjoyed spending time with Yumi, and didn't mind the idea of Nabi tagging along.[break][break]
As she turned back to her snowboy, a flashing in the distance caught her attention. One of the roaming dragons - a Salamence - had released a small jet of flame nearby to the shrine. Careful, she thought, amused. It would be unfortunate if all our hard work melted. Wasn't there an ice sculpture here, too? Foolish to allow fire anywhere near the event, she thought.[break][break]
But then again, it was the year of the dragon.[break][break]

She stayed.[break][break]
Stayed until the movie had ended. Stayed until the next movie had ended. Stayed until Freya had fallen into something akin to a comatose state, the medication forcing her into a deeply restful slumber. Stayed until she'd memorized every scar visible along Freya's pale, bruised skin. Stayed until she felt confident their conversation had meant something.[break][break]
A dragon did not give freely, but Mei was no dragon. She was, perhaps, the open sky. A dragon's playground: the freedom to go anywhere without judgement or restraint. A place where a dragon would never be unwelcome, never turned away, and most importantly, never coddled.[break][break]
And that was enough.

Protect their snowboys with her life? Mei laughed at the joke, musical and unbridled, but then she sobered as she realized nabi park was...serious? She must work for Yumi in some capacity, Mei realized. Yumi had that sort of effect on people, especially those she employed.[break][break]
She turned from freya morningstar before noticing the other woman's embarrassment, intent on continuing to build her snowboy. Yumi's comments about the new year piqued her interest, however, causing her to peek around a particularly large snowball she'd been rolling to regard her roommate.[break][break]
"Not yet," she answered. "I'd like to, though. I've never seen a draconid shrine up close."[break][break]
A powerful year, eh? Mei wasn't a particularly superstitious sort. What would she even pray for? As she considered, a desire surfaced: to see more of Julien Demassieux. But of course, she'd be seeing him soon - they had a date scheduled that very week.[break][break]
A job, she reminded herself, but she smiled at the thought all the same.[break][break]

Mei did not get the chance to hear nabi park's reply to her introduction: a snowball hit her square in the back of the head, causing her to whirl around in confusion.[break][break]
"Who - ?"[break][break]
ollie morales's sheepish grin and raised hand caught her attention. She only vaguely recognized him - Head Ranger or something? She'd missed his speech, after all - but one of the woman nearby to him was someone she could never mistake, not in a million years.[break][break]
It was strange to see freya morningstar out in the world, as The Councilwoman, so accustomed was Mei to being around the mistress of dragons in far more...intimate settings. The soft hum of a television, their limbs intertwined, came to mind. The rustic, low-light of Nameless, the clink of shot glasses, and KING WAYLAND's grumbling. Would Freya even give her the time of day in this sort of venue? An odd feeling pricked at her: not-quite-guilt (for what she was) and not-quite-envy (for what she wasn't).[break][break]
Mei realized she was staring. In one fluid motion, she had a snowball of her own ready to launch, and she turned her gaze back on the head Ranger.[break][break]
"Take that, pretty boy," she huffed, throwing it directly at Ollie, before continuing to work on her snowboy.[break][break]

TÊTE-À-TÊTE [M]

It was a blissful sleep. Mei could not remember the last time she'd collapsed into the comforts of a top tier bed, completely worn out from not just ensuring someone else enjoyed their time with her, but from her own passionate release - multiple times over. It was a rare thing: to find a lover through her line of work that was truly capable of providing her with an equitable degree of ecstasy.[break][break]
It is just another lie, she tried to tell herself as Julien moved with her, praised her, held her, made her shiver with delight. No matter how pretty.[break][break]
Why, then, was she disappointed to find his side of the bed empty the next morning, as she came to consciousness? The sound of his voice, low and sultry even still, however, sent a sudden thrill through her as she realized he hadn't actually left. His weight was a warm and welcome presence next to her, and she almost reached out to pull him back down to her - entice him into one more embrace.[break][break]
But his words were a common declaration, one she'd heard a thousand times, heralding his leaving. The soft thump of an envelope left on a bedside table, an equally familiar sound. This was normally the good part: the part where she counted her earnings, pleased, already calculating how many more clients she would need to see that month in order to pay her bills - and still have something leftover to treat herself.[break][break]
She shifted in the bed, turning her back on the money.[break][break]
"If you have need of a companion for some future function," she found herself murmuring, an uncharacteristic reminder for a man she doubted she would see again - the rich and powerful ones tended to prefer variety. "You know how to find me." She paused as the door opened, eyes fluttering shut once more. "Goodbye, Julien."
