"Maybe this'll work? Nah, I didn't think so either. Something a little different... lets see...." Praise for Mei is merited in this situation. Though arguably Wylan would attest that the introverted woman could be validated at all times. To varying reactions. And varying satisfaction. Right now she's likely at her most vulnerable despite the playfulness of the scenario. In the dressing room as her husband fusses with makeup and accessories. Just for fun.

Years ago this scene would be an impossibility, laughed away as a dream or life for someone else. For both parties involved. Wylan, so practiced with fashion and Mei, pulled all the way out from her shell. Both of them with rings on their fingers and family to call their own.

"Oy. Hey now. Keep your eyes closed or the deal's off, alright? Good girl." There's a playful tickle to Mei's neck after reminding her of the challenge, if you can call it that. Then a responding trill of a Lilligant nearby. The Pokemon can be heard prancing off to fetch something else again at her trainer's request. "Ooo, Gigi, that... actually might be perfect. Give it here? Tha~nk you."

"Heheheh~"

Is it torment? Is it enjoyable? Hard to say. The feeling of brushes and other impliments as her hair is fussed and foundations are laid. For better or worse, Wylan works rather quickly. Dolling up Mei's face before finally adorning her hair. There's a good measure of humming, both from the Pokemon and her trainer, before a quick peck to the lips to surprise the woman just a little bit more.

"Okay, done! You can look now. Badaba~"

The chair is turned around, and look at that! She looks like a forest spirit with the eyeshadow and blush. Complete with a bright pink flower. Slipping her glasses back on, one could even say... the look is improved. Wylan is sitting back with a camera.

"Tabs is gonna want to see this. Now! Say... uh..."

"Lilli!!" The Pokemon interjects excitedly, throwing up her petals in a grand pose.

@kyriosc sent: She just wants to sit on the couch curled up with her coffee. Maybe sitting close. Maybe leaning on his shoulder. And maybe she will. "Hey you, how's it going? I know this is going to sound weird and out of the blue but sometimes I think I should quit my job. Maybe go back on the road for a bit again? Did you know I wanted to be a Gym Leader when I was a kid? Yeah, a normal-type too. Sometimes I still think of it but it does sound silly now. Oh well."

Mei's arrival is heralded by the familiar scent of fresh coffee. Smelled before seen? Not that he was looking. Okay, maybe. Prior attention however had been focused on his notebook where he was roughly sketching out another outfit idea. Wylan doesn't consider himself an artist, but when commissioning others a little goes a long way. If Mei was paying attention before she made herself comfortable she'd catch some interesting looking spaulders with flower patterns.

Kalosian? Hm.

"Hey yourself. Was just brainstorming some stuff. Can never have too many outfits to go along with Gigi, right?" Though his voice is neutral to dismissive on his time-killing, the posturing is anything but. Mei is well accomodated. Once the notebook is snapped closed he's a veritable pillow for his moody lover. Who had some things of her own on the mind.

"Hmmm.... mmmm?"

Conversations had to start somewhere.

But what does a man like him say in the face of that kind of ruminating? Talk of dreams and maybe he could say he's already made it to where he wants to. Which. Isn't. The best approach in the face of someone currently pondering a crisis of identity (he can smell that too, in addition to the coffee).

"Excuse you? I'm the one dancing with Pokemon in front of crowds in borderline clown outfits. Nobody gets to talk silly except for me. Goof." Wylan jests with a poke to her cheek. One two. Poke poke. His arm finds a comfy spot behind her back. Were it not for the coffee he'd be manhandling her into his lap for even more annoying affection. She's spared!

"On the one hand, I think part of me always wanted to be a performer. On the other... it took a few steps to get there. Just because you didn't become what you wanted right off the bat, doesn't mean changing steps later is silly. Don't do that, Mei. C'mon."

Brows furrow.

"That said... I don't know the first thing about gym certification. But! What I do know is how to travel around. Here's an idea! Maybe you can take a work leave and go on a tour with me?" Wylan nudges her hips with his, waggling his brows invitingly. "You're a researcher who's been living nose to desk for years. You gotta have some leave saved up."

C'mon c'mon. Trip. Trip!!

today is malkuth's BIRTHDAY :: open

@kyriosc sent: Was it awkward to give someone a present when you've only known them for a drunken night and a half? Mei isn't quite sure and she's got a reputation to uphold so she'll slip an envelop with enough money for a couple birthday drinks worth on Elijah's desk and signed. Now to sneak out of the maze of cubicles without being noticed.

If there was awkwardness or any other hesitancy to the giving (leaving) of the gift there sure wasn't any of that to be felt once Elijah returns to her desk. The only thing that takes a beat is pulling herself free of that high-anxiety and high-intensity work mode and switching gears. High intensity and super excited gift receiving mode!

"Ah! Mei left me a gift? Oh my gosh~" Out of respect for the other employees who shared this part of the floor, she keeps from using her normal volume at least. Though she's chomping at the bit to do so regardless, a quick cut of the envelope to see the money. No card? Well, that's okay! The sentiment is there regardless.

"Heheh~ I bet I can pick up a nice dessert with this later..." Which she will. Sorry for the intent to be drinks, Mei, but Elijah has different things on her mind at the moment. And a sweet tooth to sate. But before that...

"I need to find out where she works so I can thank her! Maybe I can find someone who knows?" Who to ask in order to find out? Suffice to say. It would have to be a mission for later. It's work hours, and Aether Foundation was a very busy place. "I need to get back to work for now! I'm sure the chief needs me!"

"You don't. That's what work life is about." -Mei

"NO WAY! THERE'S GOTTA BE MORE THAN THAT!!" He won't believe it. He refuses.
