TAG WITH @kim
kim cole-essam
A slackened wrist shoos away any dust that blows near his face, Kim’s expression a little disheartened by the figure's reactions- the councilman still pleased that the outcome had not been him being sucked into the coffins with them.
“Can’t win ‘em all.” He whispers to himself with a calm smile.
By the time the imp had begun talking, Kim had already started nearing the bottle, eyeing the decanter in silence. Though as word of his party reaches his ears, Kim is frozen in place.
Of course he figured this moment to be pivotal to his escape, but to include lives other than his and his pokemon’s was a step he had not planned for.
“...So… alongside me, you trapped them here too?”
He gives a light and cheerful hum, eyeing the bottle quietly.
“Let’s make one more deal-”
Of course, the odds were not in his favor- he had no real control over the situation at the current moment after all- but Kim being the man he was, was not one to shy away from an opportunity to gain more than he was originally promised.
“Truth be told, I’m still not fully trusting of you, and from the looks of everything up until this point, it seems this is not a job you can tackle without the help of another; so from my point of view, you need me and I need you, whether either of us like it or not. So...”
His arms fold over his chest.
“I want the insurance of the lives of those expeditionist who traveled alongside me. I want to see them in safety before I so much as touch that bottle.” He releases a Kirlia, the pokemon instantly Syncronizing with the Hoopa. “She’ll be my eyes and once she sees they’re safe I’ll pick up that bottle and do whatever you want me to do with it. Deal?”
-----
Once the deal had been made and his demands catered to, Kim nears the bottle and takes hold of it, popping the top with little to no hesitation.
Fucked if he does, fucked if he doesn’t, why even bother dwelling on it any further. |
