[Oh she sees that smug smirking, you; don't think she doesn't know what you're thinking, there! Clearly she'll just have to prove you wrong!

...that or give you a good roundhouse kick; one or the other.]

We've obviously both been noticed by someone powerful, anyway. I don't know whether to be flattered or nervous!

[Flattered because...well, it is most definitely an ego stroke, getting a promotion after being here for such a short time...and nervous because the thought of the admins watching her is...not exactly a pleasant one considering her anti-Rocket activity, um.

She may have to behave herself for a little while. At least that's where Rideaux comes in very useful; hanging around with such a perfect Rocket is an excellent disguise. It's like hiding in plain sight!

Even if he is a bit of a jerk.

...

...alright, a lot of a jerk.]

Either way, moving up from the Grunt position can only be a good thing. Being on the lowest rung of the ladder made me a little nervous, I'll admit.

At least this way we've got some weight to throw around.

[evilfrenzy]

[...clearly that roundhouse kick will solve all problems, right.]

There's no need to be nervous if you know what you're doing. You've gotten it right so far, so just keep doing what you're doing and there shouldn't be a problem.

[Super simple. Or...maybe not so for Emmy, considering what they've been doing up until today isn't exactly what she enjoys.

...yeah, it's probably for the best that she's with the newbies. At least Rideaux gets to keep up with being a horrible person like a model Rocket. When he's not at the PokeCenter anyway.]

Exactly. I will admit, I enjoy the idea of being to call orders again. We may not be Betas, but at least we can keep the Grunts in line. They won't be back-talking to us anytime soon.

[It sure is great having power, man.]

[fauxtographs]

[If there's a problem that can't be solved with a good roundhouse kick, she's yet to find it!

...and

...

...wow. That was...actually really nice...? Hopefully you won't mind if she sounds rather amused.]

If I didn't know better, Doctor, I'd say that you just gave me a compliment paired with some good advice. Do I get that on the house?

[She's aware that it's probably...not a good thing to be told "you're doing the evil thing well, good job" from a person who seems experienced with it, but...hell, she'll take the compliment. Especially considering how rare they are from this gentleman in particular!]

[evilfrenzy]

[YES HE MINDS.

HE MINDS A LOT because he didn't intend for that to be a major thing. He didn't expect Emmy to take it to heart like that.

...His face displays a expression of mild annoyance accordingly, but he's quick to steel himself as always.]

That's because I did, though I thought everything I said was rather obvious. You're free to keep it, though you'd better not expect me to repeat myself should you screw up something so simple.

[He doesn't expect her to, though. At least for now.]

[fauxtographs]

[Alright alright, don't get your knickers in a twist! If you're curious, though, she is definitely not giggling at you.

...

...okay, she kind of is.]

Don't worry, I won't take it to heart! Although I admit, it could be fun to see if I can get another one from you.

[...hopefully one that doesn't highlight her Rocket skills, though.]

Something tells me I shouldn't get my hopes up, but you never know! You may surprise me yet~!

[evilfrenzy]

Ah, no, you're fully welcome to take it to heart...

[Don't do that to him Emmy, even if it's obvious it's still valuable...!

You know what fine, he's cool. He's...totally cool and calm right now.]

Keep talking like that and you're going to prove yourself right. If anything, you should try to surprise me if you're actually seeking another. Take training some actually competent newbies- now that would be a surprise.

[Apparently he just issued a challenge on the back of a putdown...?]

[fauxtographs]

[...

was that a challenge (on the back of a putdown...) because it sure sounded like it

Time for an appropriate stance!!]

Calling my training skills into question already, are you? Well, I'll just have to show you how good I am at what I do!

[Despite her intense tone and posture, Emmy is still clearly amused; the fact that she's fighting to hide a smile might...be rather indicative of that...]

I might even offer you some free sessions if you behave yourself!

[evilfrenzy]

[While that is definitely a sneer on his face, at the same time he actually seems to be considering that offer.

Of course, the way he responds isn't going to reflect his thoughtfulness at all.]

You actually think you have anything worthwhile to teach me? Don't forget who you're talking to. I am already highly skilled.

[...Yeah, he's just a little curious. If there's one thing he enjoys doing, it's absorbing the techniques of others.]
