`` It's a long story but ... it is a rather traumatic memory for me. Luckily I had a psychic pokemon with me to guide me and help control it.
Well, somewhat. It takes a lot of metal training. ``
I see . . . and , how is it you'd picked up relations to ESP .แฃ That takes heavy training , and generally cannot be done by your lonesome .
[ She'd know โ she's tried . The best she's able to do is read movements with greater precision than most . ]
`` Well... Club owner, z-a royale participant, psychic... ``
She listed them off casually โโ still keeping cards close, yet revealing one of them couldn't hurt.
Well , let us start with the basics ; who are you .แฃ You clearly have certain . . . energies about you , but I can't place my finger on any of them .
[ She was purposefully vague . How the other would respond tells her more than the actual information she'd relay . ]
`` Revealing my secrets may set me up for failure. But if you ask me anything I'll answer to the best of my ability. ``
She nodded โโ finally opening up ... a little bit.
[ A bitter face had remained . What use were the mass of forces she'd commanded if she can't put them to good use ? ]
It seems as though i've barely gotten to know my beautiful savior . . . will that ever change , or do you intend to keep yourself in the dark until my leave .แฃ
@EVIITYPE Most pokemon would be weakened in Attack and Defense, but on the * ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ it seemed to RAISE those stats.
High off it's power โโ luckily Mimosa knows to rein it in.
@EVIITYPE Bending in fluid manner โโ physiology making it easy to slip past slow pokemon and behind.
`` Martini, use ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ฃ๐ข๐ช๐๐ฅ * ! ``
Opening would prove valuable, as tentacles bulked up before a slam of them into Rhyperior with force.
โ know. I keep Ginn here for a reason. He is very reliable when it comes to relaying info. ``
She would tap her temple, a small hint of what she meant โโ if the psychic pokemon wasn't a give away.
`` While I thank you for the offer, I have to decline. Those native to the city is what I am looking for ``
A nice way of saying "I'd rather not have ties to the mafia, thank you." But she was able to spar another hour or two to join her on the couch.
`` If it reopens, I'll โ
Mm . Very well . I'll survive โ so long as nothing reopens .
[ EVERY night ? She's used to it , but , still , she does hate being trapped with her thoughts . ]
. . . I do run a large organization , you know . Extra hands may be able to be arranged .
`` Sorry doll. Until I have more hands helping me at the club, my nights are always busy. ``
She scratched behind her neck โโ she understands what Ariana could possibly feel, but she is in a bit of a rough spot.
You're to leave again .แฃ
[ She'd made sure to bar any emotion from that statement . She especially doesn't want to seem pathetic to herself . ]
I haven't spent a night NOT alone in . . . well over a decade .
`` Just take your time, hun. You don't need to finish it all. I made more since I have to leave for the night. ``
Once again giving a gentle smile to someone who wouldn't see such a thing.
I certainly hope it wasn't my stomach that was damaged , then . * ๐ง
[ Quite the shock on her face when she'd seen it all together . The kindness of this woman was both sickening and endearing . ]
Goodness , this is a lot . . . there's no way I could finish it in one sitting .
`` If you are a guest in my house, you will be treated as such. Meaning all I ask of you is to enjoy that, mkay~ ``
A few minutes go by, and she was finally done with the dinner. Miltank Steak with a sauce of a pleathora of berries. Paired with mash potatoes and vegetables.
It's just โ well โ I don't โ ugh . . .
[ Arms crossed . She's a bit red , with a disgruntled face dawned .
Sure , she does normally believe she should receive special treatment , but she's also aware that all of her leverage is null in this situation . ]
`` Well, I feel like it... also it ๐ช๐ด my house. ``
She sighed, making a rather nice dinner. Thank Arceus there was some steak โโ but it was rather nice of her to go out of her way to do something kind. Or well... to do it again.
So . . . you've given me a reason for your taking me in โ albeit , only a mildly satisfactory one โ but why is it you're choosing to cook for me .แฃ
[ Still mildly skeptical of it all ; this woman seemed far too high - class to be treating Rockets as valued guests . ]
`` My name is Mimosa. I reside in Kalos but took a trip to Galar to watch these battles. And my where the battles just as flashy as I was told. ``
Mimosa would raise her palm, a simple handshake if reciprocated.
`` I assume you are one of the gym leaders here, no? ``
Mimosa was up and about โโ in fact making something for Ariana in the kitchen. Her night was about to be busy ... and even if Ari could make whatever, she wanted to do so.
It was a nice pasta meal, something she would find online ...
[ She seems to be up and about in @pokemimosas' home . The couch she'd formerly laid upon has slightly damp spots ; spots which she'd cleaned the blood from .
She no longer bleeds externally , and anything internal is at a minimum , albeit still painful . ]
