sunken fish don't tell tales [m]

Augustin feels a thrill as Patrick slides easily into his role, like a fish to water - so to speak. It is a welcome change from his daytime work to have colleagues who understand the intricacies of human behavior, even if only to adapt to a persona with some ease.

"I'm afraid the fishies haven't bitten yet," he answers the other man, using one hand to shield his eyes from the bright sunlight. There's movement in the yacht, but the blackened windows prevent him from seeing who's inside. If his information is correct, there should be at least two other people inside. Business transactions happen in the strangest of places, especially if you are filthy rich. 

His fishing rod is set up nicely, and Augustin makes sure to keep his stance relaxed as he peers into the waters. "It won't be long before they do though," he says, warning his partner that the negotiations should be about to start.

As if confirming his suspicions, a man and a woman exit into the deck of the yacht and there's a second as Augustin searches for their names in his memory. 

"How familiar are you with the local fishes, Patrick?" How much do you know about these people?

Augustin was quick to accept the glass offered to him and to give it, in turn, to the young woman sitting down on the floor of his bathroom. He crouched down in front of her in order to look in her eyes, expression calm. "Maybe it's better that you return to the couch, miss. You'll be able to rest better there. I will get you something in case you get sick."

As if suddenly remembering something, Augustin reached into one of his pockets and brought out an immaculate handkerchief, presenting it to the woman. "Here, to dry your face." He didn't mention the tears, and would take the empty glass in his hands once she drank the water in it.

He would then repeat his motion from earlier, to help her get up and walk to the couch. She still felt, he noted, slightly warmer than normal. However, she seemed to be recovering ever so slightly. She was more aware of what was going on around her, no longer having the same disorientation as when she'd first woken up. 

The kitchen was close to the living room, and Augustin disappeared from sight for a few seconds, reappering with a cold compress for Avery's forehead, another glass of water and a couple of pills for her likely headache. 

He studied her subtly, taking in the long pink hair and her distressed state. Maybe she'd feel better if he introduced himself? "I'm Augustin di Santi," he whispered, eyes growing gentle. "What's your name, miss?"

The hypnotic pattern of multicolored lights is all that illuminates the space Augustin finds himself in. There's a deep bass playing in the background, and it makes the very air around him feel full of energy. Augustin can feel the rhythmic beat in his bones as he maneuvers himself between the throngs of people on the dance floor.

There are dancers spread all around the nightclub moving in tandem with the music, their movements deliberately sinuous and inviting. Augustin follows their movements with placid eyes - searching for something in particular.

He'd been sent to this place because he had some information to share. He wasn't the type to move through these kinds of places, and so the information he could get on them was limited. But he could move through several governmental spheres, and sometimes the information overlapped. Hence why he is now sitting at the bar and he's not sure what he's just ordered, but it doesn't matter anyway.

He rests his elbows on the counter and lets himself relax, eyes following the dancers until they focus on one in particular. Ah. There.

Augustin's sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, the stark white of his button-up blending in with the pale rock of Sootopolis. Out here in the middle of the ocean the heat seems somewhat starker, sinking into him until he wants to crawl out of his skin. He doesn't though, and sits still and unimpressed on a rocky ledge, looking out at the other fishermen in the area.

He has his own fishing rod in front of him, but he hasn't set it up yet. He knows the face of his target, as well as his habits. He's not surprised when his eyes find him at his usual spot, fishing by the side of a sizeable yacht. Augustin's careful to sit at a certain distance. Close, but not too close. He's supposed to be getting company some time soon, after all. 

He makes no outward sign when he realizes that his 'partner' has arrived. Only when the man approaches does Augustin call out:

"Patrick! I thought you weren't coming!" His passive expression shifts into one of good cheer and he puts an arm around the man's shoulders. "Come on, let's get you settled before all the fish are gone."

And then they're walking to the chosen location. Once they are in a relatively private place, Augustin's eyes study the blond man - his cheerful expression, however, doesn't change. It is somewhat unsettling. "By the yacht," he says, voice low.

The Lower District isn't usually on the list of Augustin's usual haunts, but it serves him nicely tonight. He makes his way through the darkened streets at a sedate pace, just another person on an evening stroll or maybe fresh off work and returning home.

He has his phone in his hand and is writing a message 'I'm sorry Allister, I can't do it tonight -maybe next week?'

His placid expression doesn't change as he finishes the message and pockets the phone, eyes studying the narrow street before he's turning into a street parallel to the night market, but not close enough that random people will wander into it.

His perfectly pressed white button-up is rolled up to his elbows due to the hoennian heat, but his appearance is otherwise impeccably business-like.  His eyes shift to the watch around his wrist and his fingers close around the usb drive in his pocket - it's almost time.

Augustin's usual haunts are unavailable to him, so he's forced to find new ones. He's been in Fallarbor for a week and he can't say that he likes it very much. But work's work and he has to stay for at least another week until all the paperwork and the niceties are good and arranged.

Now that his work as a diplomat is done with, he finds himself bored.

He's taken to walking around the nearby lake, taking a book with him in case he wants to do some light reading, with Grim by his side. A thick volume is now tucked under his arm as he goes over the bridge and finds a comfortable spot.

The contact yesterday's message spoke of should be along shortly. Augustin deliberately chooses a shaded spot, not very visible if you're not looking. In his pockets there are copies of government contracts and trade agreements that will only be made public in a month or so.

Breathing deeply the ash-free air, Augustin opens his book and starts reading.

The young woman, Augustin noted as he quickly studied her hunched frame, was decidedly not okay and still a long way from recovering.

Her Pokémon had thankfully found their way to his apartment, though they didn't seem to be helping the woman much as they immediatelly crowded her with their chattering -- except for the Lucario, who was still watching attentively. He was the protector, Augustin decided, taking care to slow down his movements as he raised himself from his armchair.

He made his way to the young woman sitting on his couch and crouched down as he got to her, ignoring the furry pokémon around her. His eyes found the Lucario's and settled there for a second before shifting to focus on the young woman. "Let me help, miss. I'll take you to the washroom. May I?"  He made sure to lower his voice to a soothing murmur, lest she be suffering from a headache.

Despite not being the strongest person around, Augustin found that she'd felt very light in his arms as he'd carried her over to his apartment. Helping her to the washroom would be an easy task.

His arm went behind her back and under her arm as he lifted her from the couch. The way to the washroom was short, thankfully, and Augustin lingered in the doorway, not sure if she needed his help. "Is there anything else I can do to help, miss?"

A sudden sound broke Augustin out of his reading and he looked up to see the unconscious young woman finally awake. She seemed, he decided, scared and a little bit unaware, which was expected. She still must be feeling overheated -- not enough time had passed for her to be able to recuperate.

His eyes subtly studied the young woman's upright figure, and focused on the damp cloth he'd put on her forehead, now gripped in her shaking hands.


Augustin let a soft smile touch his lips even as his expression turned slightly contrite. "I'm sorry, miss. I did not mean to scare you. You kind of... fainted in my arms back in the park." He put the book back onto the coffee table and gave her his full attention, looking ever so slightly embarrassed. "How are you feeling, miss?"

He made no motion to get up from the armchair because he did not want to scare her even more. "Every other place was unfortunately full, so I had to bring you here."

Her Pokémon shouldn't be too far either. Augustin had seen the Lucario following his fainted trainer from the corner of his eyes as he'd turned to open the door to his apartment complex. He'd let the door open for the Pokémon to be able to follow them to his apartment.

Augustin doesn't immediately notice when the Houndoom starts growling, but as the sound rises in volume, the young man forces his eyes to drift from the book in his hand to the wild Pokémon lingering at the edges of the bushes.

Grim, Augustin knows, is very protective of him -- he was supposed to be. Because of that, Augustin usually has an alarm every time a wild Pokémon, especially a bigger or stronger one, approaches them in their walks. He had never seen a Shiftry in person, though, and he must admit that there's a lingering curiosity in his mind. There's something about its stealthy approach, the gleam of the eyes beneath its mask-like face...

And what Augustin is curious about he studies until his curiosity is sated and packed away.

"Grim, go."

The Houndoom knows what to do, and his eyes glow an ominous reddish orange. Inspired by his own NASTY PLOT, the Houndoom opens his mouth and spews forth a FLAMETHROWER directly at the Shiftry.

If he could weaken the Shiftry enough, Augustin would then attempt to catch it. His eyes follow the fight with calculated awareness, awaiting the right time to launch the Pokéball already in his hand.

The buckets weren't painfully heavy, but Augustin could see how lugging weights like this repeatedly under this heat wave would leave anyone exhausted. What surprised him the most was that not one of the trainers had offered to help and instead were packed into air-conditioned buildings or under the shade of trees. Humanity, he thought, was a strange creature.

He was turning away to head into the trees when he caught a sudden movement from the corner of his eyes.

The buckets in his hands suddenly hit the floor as Augustin launched himself at the fainting young woman. He wasn't fast enough to keep her from falling, but his hand quickly went for the back of her head to make sure she wouldn't hit it. Head injuries, he knew, were the most dangerous.

There was this strange moment in which Augustin held the fainted woman in his arms and evaluated the situation. The woman was dehydrated, overheated and exhausted. The Poké Center was full to bursting. His own air-conditioned apartment was nearby.

The choice seemed logical. 

She was very light in his arms, he thought as he picked her up, noticing her bleeding knee.

He hoped her Pokémon would follow him; he'd leave the door open for them if they wanted to keep a distance.

His apartment was modern and austere, but the few things that were in there were very high quality. He immediately set the woman down on his couch and put a cool cloth over her forehead. He desinfected and bandaged her knee. There was a glass of water next to her for when she woke up. 

If she didn't wake up soon he'd have to take more drastic measures. For now, though, he sat on an armchair and read a book while he waited.

Augustin wasn't at all convinced by the woman's assurances that she was okay. Anyone with two functioning eyes could tell that she was overheated and exhausted, which wasn't at all surprising given that the scorching temperatures were keeping everyone indoors. It seemed strange to Augustin that the woman was doing all this work by herself. 'Is no one else available to help?'

Augustin let his eyes quickly study the woman in front of him before shaking his head.

"You're too tired, miss. Please let me." His hands were gentle as he removed Avery's hands from the single bucket she'd been struggling to hold (the woman was ridiculous if she thought that she could drag that by herself in her current condition). He was quick to grab the other bucket too, just in case the woman tried to take that one.

Buckets in hand, he let a reassuring smile cross his face and before he started walking back to the trees, where the Pokémon were waiting for their water. "You should get some water yourself, miss."

The day had started out okay enough. He'd gone to the office, surprised his colleague Justine with a bouquet of flowers (begonias, her favorite) for her birthday, and had read enough reports to make his vision go blurry. Now outside, he found himself suffocating under the scorching temperatures -- he thought it was too hot, even for Hoenn, and more so for someone like him who was used to cooler temperatures.

His white button-up, usually pressed to perfection and worn exactly according to his workplace's dress code, was proving to be a nuisance. Augustin sighed in annoyance and stopped for a moment in order to roll his sleeves up to his elbows and unbutton the area around his neck. In all honesty it didn't seem to do much, but at least he felt like he could breathe again.

When he was about to resume the trek to his apartment, he noticed a crowd of miserable-looking trainers and Pokémon standing under the shade of some nearby trees. Furrowing his brows, he felt his attention shift to the nearby Pokémon Center, which was bursting with people trying to escape the heat. And -- was that someone by the fountain?

Curiosity piqued, he walked past the street vendors to try and assess the situation. Now that he was closer, Augustin could see that the figure was a young woman in a white sundress. There were at least two buckets next to her -- was she helping out the trainers? The way she was slumped over the fountain, however, suggested that maybe she wasn't doing too well in the heat either.

"Miss? Are you okay?" Augustin approached the young woman, noticing how exhausted she seemed.

Augustin takes advantage of his work-related trips to get to know the region. He's only been here for a few months as an assistant to the johtonian embassador and although he's read books and has talked to people, he indulges in walks away from the busy cities once in a while.

Grim is sniffing yet another bush, exploring every inch of the surrounding landscape with much more enthusiasm than his trainer.

The young man gives the Houndoom a small pat on the head as he approaches the lakeside, expression vacant. He sees a few people -- mostly families and lone trainers -- refreshing themselves on the other side of the lake, but this side is thankfully empty.

"Grim," he calls out. The Houndoom is by his side in an instant, tongue lolling out and a few blades of grass stuck in his fur.

It was a few hours before he had to go back to work. He sits on the grass and stretches his legs, taking a book from his satchel and diving into it.
