[attr="class","marcelThread"]the bug-type passes clean through the LIGHT-SCREEN; this defence cannot protect him in this moment. marcel's sylveon takes the hit, but it's been readying itself for the counterattack since the vespiquen began to close the distance. amor kicks off the ground to strike her opponent with mimicked grace: a COPYCAT move.

he accepts katherine's response with a hum. "what do you plan to do with it?"

a LIGHT SCREEN flickers before settling into the atmosphere. the sylveon's ribbons flutter, stirred by some imaginary breeze. marcel's focus is half on the battle when he speaks again.

"walsh seems pleased, at least." there's barely a pause before: "what do you think of his gift?"

[attr="class","marcelThread"]"good. i could do with that staff discount." there's mirth in his eyes, the beginnings of a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth.
[break][break]
"good," he says again, "busy."
[break][break]a lie, then some truth. as they make their way down the corridor, he finds the only place for his gaze to settle--save himself--is katherine. he wonders if it's intentional.
[break][break]
"i'm surprised you've settled in so quickly, the announcement was pretty sudden."

[attr="class","marcelThread"]this isn't his scene; gym badges are another's calling. "i just came to check on you," he says, should katherine be following a similar train of thought.
[break][break]
he hates the decor, but knows better than to say that aloud. his eyes shift over katherine's shoulder for a moment, staring into the eyes of his own reflection.

"i'm guessing you won't be needing those odd jobs from me anymore."

[attr="class","marcelThread"]whatever this is rattling against his ribs, he chases it. the step he takes feels heavy. this iron-wall space is not enough for it all: them, the ash, the laughter.
[break][break]
"you--" his breath billows with a harsh exhale. "you're just as scared as me." their eyes meet, and he forces himself to hold that gaze. "so keep digging that grave. see where that gets us all."

[attr="class","marcelThread"]he wonders if gavin truly believes that he can contain this beast, should it turn itself against him. marcel decides not to linger on the thought, seeing what the beginnings of that argument have led to. when gavin returns the lugia, he visibly relaxes.
[break][break]
"this isn't about faith in you. it's about faith in that."

perhaps it's only him that fails to see the good in it.

[attr="class","marcelThread"]a slight incline of his head marks mclaren's departure. dominic had left without a goodbye, though he isn't sure he would've offered him one himself. marcel watches them both leave, only turning back to the bar when they're out of his sight.
[break][break]
well that had gone well. he makes a note to fight a bit harder should dominic ever decide to tag along again.
[break][break]
for the next few minutes, marcel chats with the bartender who continues to jump between customers. when a drink slides over from his left, he takes it almost without hesitation.

[attr="class","marcelThread"]it has its charm, in a weird sort of way. marcel smiles as he examines it. he looks back to elijah as he catches a trace of lavender in the air, a reaffirmation of his answer.
[break][break]
his gaze flicks to his hands as he huffs out a laugh. "that what apothecaries usually do?" taking the infuser in one hand, marcel begins to rummage through his pockets.
[break][break]"how much?"

[attr="class","marcelThread"]no, and he doesn't know anyone who can. his answer, however, dies in his throat not long after gavin stands. marcel flinches, neither proud nor ashamed of his reaction--at least it's natural. it takes him longer than he'd like to find his voice.
[break][break]
"someone who won't flash their new toy the moment their pride's injured," he hisses back.
[break][break]
having spoken, he crumbles. marcel belatedly realises he's stood up, and is already backing away when he says: [break][break]"for fuck's sake, gavin. return it."

[attr="class","marcelThread"]hindsight is everything; the pieces were already there. but marcel refuses to let this turn on him, he tells himself this anger comes from elsewhere.
[break][break]smoke tumbles in the silence.

[attr="class","marcelThread"]it's the power he's afraid of. marcel listens to gavin with little resistance, until the question turns on him.
[break][break]
"that's different," he snaps, "i can handle a rogue gardevoir."
[break][break]
perhaps it's frustration, perhaps it's disappointment. marcel keeps his eyes trained forward as he continues in a slow drawl, knowing full well he couldn't keep the derision in his tone otherwise.

"do you really think you could handle a legendary?"

[attr="class","marcelThread"]wrong answer. marcel continues to search for a moment, before ultimately giving up.
[break][break]
"you really believe him when he says it's tame?"
[break][break]gavin and him will never see eye-to-eye, and so he tries to appeal with the universal: distrust, self-preservation. he might have felt bad, had he thought over it more.
