"it sure is."[break][break]

not really. his wugtrio's temperament is different than usual, perhaps a byproduct of spending so much time with its trainer who, despite his looks, is far from vicious.[break][break]

stopped by the line of diglett and one in particular, wugtrio bobs up and down, showing off its whimsical mating ritual. all three heads then gesture, inviting the diglet to enter one of the holes in its rock (coral).[break][break]

"i get it."[break][break]

he says simply, free of judgment.[break][break]

"my family takes care of the cemetary in mahogany and another one above it at the lake of rage. i've been helping them tend to the grounds ever since i could remember."[break][break]

though usually far more cagey about sharing details of himself, he does so easily with her.[break][break]

"might not be what i wanted to do, but hey, they're family."[break][break]

"only a little."[break][break]

he doesn't mean it in a bad way. there's nothing wrong with not traveling or choosing to stay home all the time. the distinction, however, is that it should be a choice and not out of obligation or something else entirely.[break][break]

curious, he asks.[break][break]

"what's stopping you?"[break][break]

"oh, good."[break][break]

he doesn't elaborate on why that might be good but the implication is there: it means they'll have more time to spend together, should things go well, of course. there's still a chance they'll end up hating each other.[break][break]

he was joking, but he doesn't attempt to clarify because even the possibility that they might be gone for a leadership retreat is better than the alternative.[break][break]

his searching pauses momentarily when she smiles at him. he returns it, then glances over at his wugtrio before making the connection.[break][break]

the order surprises him; he's used to doing the opposite; to do the holding while whatever superior he's assigned to makes their departure. he isn't sure what to feel about the man before, but his opinions have started to shift for the better.[break][break]

with a nod, he listens, and disappears into the thick of the SANDSTORM, but he does not intend to leave them behind.[break][break]

"— wait."[break][break]

he doesn't mean to interrupt his superior but there's no mistaking what he felt: the tremor in the ground, faint at first, and then another, and another, each harsher than the last.[break][break]

"something's approaching."[break][break]

his cacturne's SANDSTORM rises, but that may hinder them just as much as whatever it is that's coming.[break][break]

he's about to tell her that it's a bad idea to split up, at least in his opinion given the circumstances, but she finishes her thought with what he wants to say.[break][break]

despite his attempted cool demeanor, he can't help but feel anxious as well as they start making their way through the weeds. he calls out his wugtrio, though finds little comfort in its presence.[break][break]

"no clue."[break][break]

he keeps talking.[break][break]

both dane and kirlia squint in response to the sudden SUNNY DAY that blinds them. as temperatures begin to rise around them, he knows the battle is about to be just as intense.[break][break]

"like the planet."[break][break]

his expression must have betrayed him.[break][break]

feeling empowered by the SUNNY DAY, kirlia lets loose a wave of pink MYSTICAL FIRE.[break][break]

technically, she outranks him, but the hierarchy has proven flexible in his experience, and only really needed to be maintained when in the presence of the upper brass. there are exceptions, of course, but from what he can tell, nina doesn't seem like the type to care.[break][break]

"maybe start outside, then work our way in?"[break][break]

he doesn't need to check his phone to know sundown approaches. they have a little under an hour remaining.[break][break]

"would be tougher to spot people in the dark later."[break][break]

he nods. "true." but as he finishes moving yet another piece of debris just so they can have a clearer path to gods know where, he can't help but long for their guide.[break][break]

a few more minutes pass before he interrupts the silence again with another question.[break][break]

"do all megalopolans eat human?"[break][break]

in all honesty, dane could not care less about the missing upper brass as he knows they'd simply be replaced. kanto would send whoever they deemed capable, and the wheels would continue to turn as though they'd never stopped in the first place.[break][break]

but, for obvious reasons, his thoughts are kept to himself.[break][break]

much to his distaste, he arrives on the back of his altaria, cotton ball, only to immediately recall the flying-type the moment they land.[break][break]

"hey, sorry i'm late." he'd been trying to find another means of transportation but the idea of booking a corviknight taxi on behalf of team rocket felt wrong. "i'm dane."[break][break][break][break]

with a nod, he waits for her to take the first step before doing the same. he falls into the same rhythm as her, straying close to her side as they make their way out of the hotel and onto the streets of lilycove.[break][break]

"what time do you need to get back by?"[break][break]

he asks, curious.[break][break]

"i assume you work the nights, too. at least when your parents need you to."[break][break]

he nods even if he's unsure if he'd ever show Frank Caffey the intricacies of utilizing a SANDSTORM. that's part of what makes him valuable as an asset, after all, and sharing that may very well hinder him.[break][break]

after they've loaded up the van, dane turns to the two unconscious rangers as well before shrugging.[break][break]

"i'm not much into killing."[break][break]

more into respecting the dead, as evident by his role as groundskeeper at mount pyre.[break][break]

"location's compromised, anyway. might as well leave them here."[break][break]
