▬▬▬ ☆      Yū wanted to react  much  differently,  but  he  wasn’t  about  to  give  this  man  the  satisfaction  of  an  angry  outburst.  Instead,  smile  still  present,  Yū  shook  his  head.  It  wasn’t  as  if  he  was  lying,  this  truly  was  just  a  happy  accident.  He’d  been  wanting  to  have  a  moment  with  this  guy  ever  since  he  found  out  that  Giovanni  had  been  making  visits  to  his  wife.  He  trusted  Delia  &&  knew  nothing  was  going  on,  but  he  trusted  this  man  about  as  far  as  he  could  throw  him.  

                              ❝  I’m afraid she’ll be gone until late this evening. She decided to go for a shopping trip && to visit her son. I know you prefer the unexpected visit, but maybe next time call ahead! Then things like this won’t happen. I would be more than happy to pass along whatever it is you’d like to say to her though.  ❞

That was inconvenient. He was hardly interested in dealing with the man who’d raised his son, but if that was how to get this message to Delia then that’s what he’d have to settle for. He would not be returning to Pallet Town for a long time, if ever after this visit. Anti-climactic, perhaps, to end what remained of his connection to Delia through an incompetent third party, but necessary. He was a criminal, he would always be one, and there was no universe where this son would ever recognize him as a father when this man was in the picture.

“There won’t be a next time. I had preferred to tell her in person, but my business is taking me permanently from the Kanto region. Do not misunderstand my reasoning for coming unannounced. My opportunities to come check in on her and how our son is doing on his travels are rare and come on short notice. I often don’t know I have the opportunity until I’m taking it.”

Yū is standing in the doorway, the most friendly smile on his face despite knowing exactly who he was talking to. If anyone was to look on at the interaction, it would look entirely cordial. ❝  Oh, I assume you were looking for Delia, right? I sincerely apologize, but she isn't home at the moment.  ❞ | @ofceladon​

“I was, but only for a moment. I had a brief message for her before I left town. You must be the husband, she’s spoken highly of you.” He keeps his own presence as cordial as he can, annoyance deeply shoved under a long practice of control. “I don’t suppose she’ll be back soon?”

multifaricus​:

‘ i know that. and you should know what that means. ’ 

“of course.” a shake of his head. “you’ve done well with him.”

[tumblestones-archive]

multifaricus​:

‘ how? so long as you run team rocket, you will never be in ash’s life. ’ 

“i will run team rocket until i die.”

[tumblestones-archive]

multifaricus​:

     ‘ that’s a first. last i checked, you cared little about anyone or anything unless it benefited you in some way. ’ 

“who’s to say this doesn’t benefit me in some way?”

[tumblestones-archive]

multifaricus​:

     ‘ do you really care what my husband has to say in all this? were that truly the case, i doubt you’d even be here. ’ 

“i don’t, no, but i was under the impression you did. and this is your home. i can respect certain things.”

ofpalletown​:

▬▬▬ ◓      To be trapped with  Matori  of  all  people  was  kind  of  irritatingfor  Ash.  He  knew  how  capable  she  was  of  getting  things  done  for  team  rocket  &&  he  wanted  to  get  away  from  her  as  quickly  as  he  could.  So  he  was  looking  for  a  way  out.  Maybe  his  attempts  weren’t  going  well,  but  it  was  better  than  doing  nothing.  His  rotom  phone  didn’t  even  have  service  here,  so  he  couldn’t  call  for  help.  

            He wondered if she’d  even  be  opento  a  truce  for  the  time  being  –  just  so  they  could  get  going.  But  before  he  could  ask  her,  he  heard  her  speak.  

                              ❝  At least I’m trying something, you know!  ❞  A  pause.  ❝  Wait, what? Who do you mean?  ❞

If she had been in any other position in Rocket, she’d be surprised that Giovanni hadn’t reached out to the boy. But she was one of his trusted advisors, she had done part of the research to be certain that Ash Ketchum was his child. There had been moments when she recognized her boss in his eyes, but only at the boy’s most serious.

“Your father.” It comes out dismissive as she examines their surroundings. Caves were difficult - do something wrong and you can cause a cave in. “Giovanni.”

multifaricus​:

     ‘ i suppose i should thank you then for your discretion. shall i break out the champagne? make this a real party? ’ 

“wouldn’t that cause your husband to have questions?”

[tumblestones-archive]

multifaricus​:

     ‘ ash isn’t here. and, even if he were, you remain nothing but a stranger and a criminal to him. hardly someone he’d want to share his triumph with. ’ 

“it’s out of respect to him that i’m here when he isn’t. but i want it known that i’m proud of how far he’s come as a trainer. he’s earned this victory.”

[tumblestones-archive]

multifaricus​:

      ‘ what is it you want then? ’ 

“to celebrate the success of our son.”

[tumblestones-archive]

multifaricus​:

      ‘ that’s not exactly fair, now is it, gio? ’ 

“fair is for fools.”

[tumblestones-archive]

multifaricus​:

‘ it certainly would make things easier if you did. ’ 

“i don’t remember you preferring things to be easy, delia.”

[tumblestones-archive]

multifaricus​:

‘ none but you. what brings you here this time? ’ 

“must i always have a reason?”
