[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [But could a Minccino truly change that much in just a year?]

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [Continues smiling gently]

Thanks! I'll talk to you later then.

[Turns with a wave of his hand and heads for the door. Despite his past fixations on Lei, he could now let them go with more ease and focus on more tangible goals, like his date today.] //

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [Inhales audibly and gets up from his seat]

Anyways, I better get going. I have a date, just stopped by to wait until it's not too early to go pick her up.
Let's message eachother, yeah? Would be sad if it takes another year to meet again.

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm Mmh.

[Nods slightly and looks around the place before returning his eyes to the owl]

I guess this isn't the place and time for me to catch up on everything. I'm sure you guys went through a lot, from what I could glimpse through the news at least.
You're probably right. //

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm I haven't been around lately but it's not like the law has been changed either. Are they just backing out now?

[Crosses his arms and huffs, eyes swiping across the café. Not surprising though, considering the type of people the loudest members of AN happened to be..]

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm Ah..

[Leans back more, his expression thoughtful]

You think they could have given up? I mean the whole group has experienced a lot of backlash, I wouldn't be surprised..

[His thoughts take him back to that evening, watching two of the café leaders burn in a house before him]//

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [Sighs and looks around, in case of anyone familiar. Nah]

Uggh either way, there's still a cause behind this whole thing so I guess I shouldn't be leaving either. And there's people like you I'd rather not leave behind, hm.
Have you heard anything from the lead, yourself?

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [His ears turn back, relaxed and happy. Lei's happy to have him back? Aw. Guess he liked hearing that]

Thank you. I'm sure people would love having you back in the organization as well. In my case, you couldn't really say that.. So I haven't made any effort to announce myself.//

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm Oh thank you! I'm glad.

[His smile's gentle and a tad amused. Lei seemingly hadn't changed much in a year.]

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm It was nice for once, actually.

[Smirks, thinking about his happenings with this one significant woman at the ball and thereafter. Maybe something positively interesting was happening in his life for once?]

[To Lei's abrupt return of compliment, Win laughed shortly]
//

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm Maybe you could teach me something I don't know?

[Smiles eagerly at Lei and nods]

I like how you've let your feathers grow, by the way. Looks nice.

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [Leans in his hands a bit, thinking back]

I was able to attend the Fall Harvest Ball this year with my arm all healed. Remember when we practiced for the one last year but I couldn't go?

[Hums shortly in amusement.]

I think it'd be really nice. //

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm ..You said it's been weirdly quiet for you? Me too.

[He tries to bring up the mood again with a chuckle]

Maybe we could fill in that quietness for eachother, hm? It'd be nice to hangout again, sometime. Maybe go dancing, even?

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [The way Lei's whole demeanor changes is a blaring cue not to talk about this. But at least that woman has left them alone. Win sighs apologetically.]

That's good.

..

[So the plan had worked then. Makes him feel somewhat powerful, despite all the humiliation from AN's side] //

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [Raises his hands a little for a second as if yielding, to calm down the situation. He takes in Lei's appearance through more relaxed eyes and nods, acknowledging the little changes]

Ah,

[He remembers]

I hope your ex.. Emery..? Has stayed away.

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [As Lei goes on, Win calms down by a lot. They're not a hateful person like most of AN, never have been. Why was he so tense? His smile softens and he even chuckles, shaking his head]

Don't worry about it, honestly. We're both at blame here.

//

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm I don't even look on Twitter or anything anymore, it's not worth it. Not that anyone's messaged me either.

[Huffs with a self-ironic tone.]

I'm sorry I never reached out to you, regardless. Well, I guess you never reached out to me either.

[Huffs again, leaning back a bit]

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [He's a little surprised of Lei's break from the AN.. Guess things were turning out to be a lot for the owl as well. Win thinks back on when he last even spoke to them.. he can barely remember the timeline. Fall last year. A sour feeling pinches him.]

I guess. //

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm and his eyes travel away from Lei for a moment, obviously not too keen on talking about his 'business']

How about you?

[He turned his golden eyes back to the owl and brought back the warm smile of his]

..I'm glad you're in one piece.

[Winnifred Freight @winwinccino]

@AlolanRhythm [Not to mention this genuine, eager feeling of happiness from seeing someone who might have an ounce of positive feelings towards him. Might.]

Mh, well, business called. Couldn't keep up with the organization. Been keeping me busy.

[Win shakes his head slowly //
