As the statuesque visage of the Luxio crumbles, Kim watches, his lips downturned into a frown. Before he could even finish the joke, the Luxio sunk into itself, revealing an entranceway leading into the tomb.

Saddened by the statue not even questioning his riddle, Kim finds some semblance of relief when the gremlin to his side does, the councilman perking up slightly.

“Yea. Bophades Nuts.” He chuckles, moving forward as he whispers. “Gotteem”

The absolute buffoon, he fell for it. Kim only wished others could see how easily Kim was able to trick this baby creature as he had.

Amidst wiping the tears from his eyes from laughter, Kim spots the drawings on the wall, idly scanning either side of the antechamber as they moved through, eventually leading them- or rather Kim- into his theoretical doom.

The mirror the creature had presented was quickly denied. Kim composure unfaltering even under a situation as stressful as this.

He digs into his clothes, past the outerwear and into the more personal fabrics, pulling out a small rectangular hand mirror and wiping the surface free of accumulated dust- peering into it with a less than pleased expression.

“Dry lips, dry skin, dry everything. Eugh, I really wish I brought more moisturizer with me…” The man pokes and pulls at his face, flatting and creating temporary wrinkles as he did. “Na is gonna be some angry when I show her how I’ve been treating this face of hers.” As opposed to how upset she would be considering her significant other had been lost in the desert for at least a month.

Kim continued to look in the mirror, ignoring the pinching at his feet as a Gothoria released itself, scoffing at the vanity of her trainer as she levitated the two a bit higher. Kim’s attention turns from himself as a thought occurs.

“Oh right, we’ve been traveling together for a bit but I haven’t introduced myself, and at this point it’s kinda rude of me not to.”

The councilman nonchalantly tosses the mirror down, giving the Karrablast something to gnaw at other than him for a couple of seconds. As the Gothorita hovers him towards the left door, Kim crosses one leg over the other, enjoying the rest his feet had gotten while he could as he spoke.

“Councilman Kim Cole, it’s less than a pleasure to meet you under such unfavorable situations.”

Kim extends a hand towards the imp-like pokemon for a handshake.

Despite everything he had gone through, to skip a step as important as introduction is a sin Kim himself should never commit.

A sly smile creeps across his lips, leaking the cheer out carefully.

“He’s a good looking guy, Stormy. I wouldn’t mind if I wasn’t already married.”

His head leans back into a guffaw at the instant severance of her mindset, one second a stoic visage of conviction and the next a crumbled shield, easily displaying the true feelings she felt within.

Kim could not be happier than to see her in this state of integrity, it was far better than the second guessing she had been doing up until this moment.

“Own it. Whether it be love, lust, or whatever vice ails you, own up to it and indulge at your own pace. We’re put in this earth to live our lives how we want so do what makes you happy, even if its only for the moment.

Idle hands dig into his pants pocket, pulling out a lavender cigarette case and opening it, Kim eyeing the remainder of Cait’s earthen gifts. He takes a spliff and offers the case over to Stormy.

“And right now, nothing would make me happier than to think a little less.”

Whether she had taken one or not, Kim returned the case to his pocket, retrieving a lighter in its place and lighting the blunt before handing the lighter over to Stormy.

His forehead moves to rest on hers, a chuckle escaping before he pushes himself away, hands still entangled within hers.

“I think most people have that same notion towards our good commandant FERNANDO SILPH.”

Kim’s tone is mocking, as if to imply Fernando is anything but what was implied.

“But he has a slick side about him. I can see why you’d slip, after having spent private time with him myself.”

But to go as far as kissing your illegitimate sibling on the mouth? Guess they did things different in Kanto.

“Look Stormy, I’m not going to say that I don’t think it's weird that the two of you decided to pursue each other at that level, because I do in fact think it's weird. But you are both consenting adults who are able to do what you want with each other. If you’re gonna sulk over a mistake then learn from it and grow as a person in the process. Don’t make the same mistake that you already have, or at least if you do learn to live with it.”

“It ezz what it ezz.”

He says in a lax tone, leaning back after having thrown up his hands with the expression.

“I mean… it's either that or go back in time and change the outcome. But who would go to those lengths for a little mistake.”

He alludes to cait alfric with that notion, grabbing the bottle he previously sat down and taking a swig from it.

“Huh? You couldn’t tell me about your experiences? As if passion or otherwise never dawned on me? As if I didn’t freak out after the initial phase of you telling me that you did what you did? Would you rather me agree with you and say, “that’s fucking gross storms, what’s wrong with you?” or would you rather me tell you how I feel about the fuckhuge metric overload of info you just dumped on me in the most sensible way I can imagine.”

He leans forward placing a hand on the armrest of the chair she sat in.

“Would you rather sulk, or would you rather cope?”

His hands move hand grab her own, attempting to pull them from her face as to look her eye to eye, the residue of his smile remaining in place.

“How?” He inquires, features now on ponderment.

“In what way? Because from where I’m sitting it sounds like you’re just horny.”

God, he could only imagine the scenarios that would eventually unfold, a smile forced upon his lips in the process.

“What are you doing step bro?” He says in a mocking tone, leaning back into his seat.

“My god, that’s you. You’re those porn videos that people poke fun at. Stormy, holy shit.”

He snickers unable to control his laughter as he hides his face in semi-embarrassment. There was no malice in his words, it was simply humorous observation.

Pristinely manicured nails rhythmically tap onto the counter, their glossed surfaces peck away at the table impatiently.

Holding his tongue was tiring, the man’s opinions easy to fire off under circumstances not akin to this one. But he held his composure, a sigh forced out of him when the questioning had stopped and the signing began.

It was only when Stormy Silph had begin leaving that he opened his mouth. Kim leans back in his seat to catch her with a question before she fully fled.

“Still on for dinner? I’m paying.”

His voice is jolly despite the heavy air, and once Stormy completely leaves he turns his attention back to the paper before him, taking pen in hand and signing as a witness for those who had already signed their metaphorical life away.

Confusion is plain on his features, bemused at the implication she presented.

“Wait…” His demeanor shifts, the once cool and collected composure slipping in an instant.

“In the relationships that you’ve had since the two of us have known eachother… have none of them given you the attention you deserve? Are you telling me the passion that you were shown- no, the passion you felt from that moment could not compare to those you’ve been with before- with those who you’ve gone to lengths far enough to consider marriage? Not even the time spent with them can compare to the seconds you were in his embrace?”

He was upset, the expression held on his face clearly showing this with furrowed brows and the edges of his lips slightly downturned.

"If anyone's fucked it's them, Stormy."

“Deflecting!” He calls out with the subtly of a fire alarm, a smile still seated upon his lips as he takes a swig of the rose colored liquid.

She’s hiding her true feelings and he can tell.

“Stormy. Stormdrain. Stormghetti and meatballs. Cloudy with a chance of Storms. I know you want to keep up the cool girl charade and everything, but it ain’t workin’ on me. I take pride in you being one of my best friends and the knowledge that comes with it. So…”

He places the bottle on a coffee table at their side and adorns a sly smile.

“...lay it on me straight. Did you enjoy it? Was it everything you expected and more? Are you pining for a second dip in that pool are are you content with a small soak that you had?”

Debauchery was not lost on him, Kim no stranger to indulgence himself, always having held back just enough to keep those who he had interest in at arms length and to not over exceed where he planned to luxuriate.

But he knew how tempting that forbidden fruit could be, just as well the repercussions of picking said fruit and the ire that could come from it; as well as the happiness it could bring.

“Tell me how you really feel.” There is a devilish accent to his words, Kim pushing the bottle a bit closer to her and welcoming her to take a sip.

Kim chuckles, thinking it better not to comment on that.

But he does anyway.

“That's putting it lightly. I don’t exactly think that putting a main propagator for most of your trauma as the headline for your “most fuckable people” list is exactly the most sane decision but hell, you’re a big girl, you know what you like.”

Kim was not one to mince words, something that should be inherently obvious from most interactions the two of them had. But as far as he was concerned, he spoke out of love. What he had to say was truthful and unfiltered, as it should be when conversing with loved ones.

“Almost had a heart attack when you said what you did.”

He speaks, fanning himself as he pulls a bottle of wine from under the chair he sat upon, the underside holding an assortment of different wines.

“So? How was it? Did you get tingles or what?”

The time of judgement grew thin, Kim’s sole focus now on the tea he aimed for Stormy to spill.

He pops the top of the wine and takes a sip, eyeing the houseplant that sat to the side of where she had been seated; a Fomantis snuggly seated within.

“Love you too, Stormy.”

Fingers sink into her hair, brushing freed strands down to mingle with the rest. Soon he’d take her hand, gently leading her to his apartment.

Once the two of them settle in, Kim brings Stormy a glass of water and allows her to gain her bearings. The silence he keeps himself at is one of carefulness, not too soon to push her into speaking before she is fully ready to. But there is an assurance behind the silence, his focus fully on her as he leaned back in his seat, eyes wholly on her.

“Speak your mind.”

He whispers out when he feels it is an appropriate moment to do so.

Oh man… Holy shit… It’s almost like the thing that Kim said would happen when this whole initiative shit was brought up was playing out right before them… Who could have expected it…

If Kim were to be vocal about his correctness, he would voice them along with hand gestures, something like…

Yea that. Something like that.

He would do this in clear view of the commissioner, and direct it mainly towards her.

But he has to keep up appearances in the face of this “very serious” situation. So instead, he sits with his arms cross, side eyeing the commissioner with a placid expression.

He silently hopes that his “i told you so” aura would be intercepted by the woman without need for the Gothorita to relay the message telepathically.

He could barely get his hands around the glass before cait alfric had apprehended it, promptly tossing it through the avatar of the underworld’s head honcho. Kim could not help but smile throughout the entirety of the altercation, but a scowl had earned its place when Cait decided to make things more physical.

Coming to a stand, Kim moves to set himself between the two women, looking down to Cait with a displeased expression.

“Miss Alfric. Would you kindly take your seat.”

It is a command spoken in the tone of a question, Kim beckoning the woman to refrain from further ebbing into darker waters.

Whether or not Cait had listened, Kim speaks aloud to all present.

“I figured that it would not need explaining but civility is expected of everyone present. We are here to discuss the agreement or disagreement of the contract you have been shown. Lets keep on topic of this and anything pertaining to this. Try not to veer off into more personal matters, please and thank you.”

As he speaks, the Gothorita cleans the spill, a psychic energy pulling the contents of the beverage back into the glass before hovering from cait's reach and into the sink behind the bar.

After he had concluded, he returned to his seat, a slight huff escaping him as he sat down. Guess getting a buzz going was out of the question then.

Immediately upon Dahlia’s entrance, Kim’s Gothorita released itself, bowing to Cait and Stormy before making its way to Kim’s seat.

“Well… let's get this shit show on the road.” He mutters under his breath, just loud enough for those immediately near to hear.

Pushing off the counter, Kim grabs the glass his drink sat in and took the rim to his mouth, downing what remained of the frozen beverage with a few gulps. Immediately following, the pain of the chilled drink hit, Kim refraining from screaming.

He takes his seat where the Gothorita had led, scooting up his chair and buttoning up the blazer just enough for his chest to remain exposed.

Kim had let everyone settle in and read their own packages- the councilman observing their features quietly- but just as quickly as he sat, he pushed out his chair and moved back to the bar to order another drink.

Cait’s words were right on the mark of what he had expected, and Kim was not the least bit surprised she had decided to speak out. His input was unnecessary at the current moment so instead he spoke his order to the bartender.

“Gimme a Hon Deuce.” He says with a smile.

The propensity at which Kim holds himself is unchanging, the overall laid back attitude still in place despite the situation that would otherwise beckon stress- specifically from those brought forth unwillingly.

While Kim agrees that the meeting was necessary and felt those it pertained to should not be left in the dark by the council’s decisions, he could not help but disagree with the method that Dahlia had taken to bring them all into the same room. It was degrading to be singled out in such fashion.

“I think it was the only way to ensure that everyone would come. If it was optional to have you all meet then it’s likely at least half of you wouldn’t show.”

Kim requests Stormy’s drink for her- the same as his but without alcohol- the bartender returning Kim’s drink to him as the two were swapped out for one another.

“At least hear out what has to be said and comment afterwards. If not for anything else, do it for me.”

He smiles sweetly, looking to the two as he takes a sip of his drink.

“And when everything’s said and done, we can all go get some lunch… or dinner, depending on what time of day it is. Ooooh, I can pick up Najwa and you can meet her, Kay. There’s a surprise I gotta show both of you too.”

Kim at least hoped the meeting would not end as bumpily as it started.
