she breathed these words, her anxious state of mind clear. andrea constantly checked her phone, eyes reviewing the simple reply that sylvester had given. he had agreed to a meeting, the girl having requested that they discuss something of importance.
trust. loyalty.
it's not that she didn't trust the male. sylvester was one of the few individuals the coordinator could rely upon. he was an unsurprisingly wise and patient individual possessing a cunning mind and the raw potential to excel. she trusted him.
but did he trust her?
"mis?"
her misdreavus wandered closer, having noticed long ago that her mistress had become distracted.
"'mm fine, girl. just... ain't sure what i'll say or do. ever since that - ugh - ya know who i mean - got involved i ain't been feelin' real sure about..."
andrea ran a hand through her hair, her gaze shifting toward the route - with herself now seated on the side of the dirt path.
"i ain't use ta this complicated shit. feelin' like this ain't my thing. fuck. i haven't been this worried over someone since julius stepped up. i shoulda asked him some advice 'bout this stuff but he's been real busy lately..."

After agreeing to meet up with Andrea, he was only a short ways off when she began complaining about something. Whether or not she had been aware he was there, Sylvester walked closer towards her before announcing his presence. "So, here you are again...foul-mouthed as usual." It wasn't very becoming of someone like Andrea...not when directed towards herself at the very least. "There's always something bothering you." He wondered whether it was truly important, or just a little something that had her frustrated. Maybe Andrea just hated waiting for people, and it left her to think too much about everything going on? Hard to say...
"Came as fast as I could, by the way." Sylvester sat down with her, adorning a casual smile. "What is it you wanted to talk about this time?" He knew that Andrea did not ask for him to meet her anywhere unless the matter was urgent. Sylvester already had the feeling that something was up, he simply waited for her to feel comfortable saying whatever it was exactly that she called him here.
"mis," vivian purred, amusement dancing in her gaze.
"did ya see him comin'? ya lil' bitch," andrea muttered, a small smile tugging at her lips.
once the moment had passed, and the coordinator had calmed her rapid heartbeat, she stood and peered up at the taller male. there was a hint of hesitance in her mannerisms, gaze darting about and mouth parting and shutting as though she was struggling to form the appropriate words.
"ah... how are ya? i hear flint's 'bout ta evolve," she said.
"mis?"
andrea glanced at the ghost-type, noticing that her features were lined with concern.
"ya know what? never mind. let's get ta the meat of this. i ran into that green-haired chick. that friend of yers - or whatever she is ta ya."
she sincerely hoped that woman wasn't more to sylvester than that.

Now things made a lot more sense. "I would say don't worry about it, but maybe you should." As far as he knew, him and Syndra could only agree to disagree. "She's got her own friends, we have ours." It seemed the people Sylvester knew were all getting acquainted, for better or for worse. Although maybe Sylvester and Andrea would be right to be wary. The rangers would undoubtedly be after her at some point in the future. Maybe even a lot sooner than they would like to expect...
"I think we can handle things for now, but maybe we should try to exploit team aqua or magma at a less popular locale." Obviously it was pretty bad to have done that there, but it did also send a stronger message. Something they could both appreciate, and be glad about. "You?"
He wondered aimlessly what Andrea had to say about that, since she was usually so kind yet vulgar at the same time. The best Sylvester could do was spend his money on rare candies to try and get ahead from where he was now. That reminded him...Andrea knew that Blaziken was going to evolve soon. 'How does she know that? Could it have been Dmitri?' Odds were that it probably was.
a genuine smile slid onto the sharp features of her face as she realized just who she was dealing with here.
"guess i was worried fer nothin'."
andrea rubbed the back of her head, her face hot due to her somewhat flustered state.
"i'm act like such a fuckin' girl sometimes," she muttered.
she noticed his curious look and grinned, deciding to take a shot at what he would soon inquire about.
"ya know i try ta keep track of all of yer pokemon, too. dmitri and i've been chattin' it up. we usually do, yeah? plus! they're family, too. marley, flint..."
andrea tapped her chin as she tried to remember all of their names. it was proving a bit difficult, seeing as she had one hell of a shitty memory.
"... i'll learn 'em all, eventually," she said.
she grabbed at his hand and tugged him off the pathway.
"there's a clearnin' over here. i wanna talk some more about all this shit. it's been a week, dude. textin' only does so much fer me."

Sylvester was a little surprised at how quickly Andrea seemed to relax, though smiled all the same as she grabbed his hand and ushered him off the beaten path a ways. "What exactly did you want to talk about?" Sylvester was never very sociable, even if he wanted to be. Andrea seemed to like him for other reasons than such, and so Sylvester worried as to how useful he would be in the moments to come. 'It couldn't be something related to pokemon, could it...?' Sylvester would like to think not, though ultimately had no clue as to what she'd speak of...
"Is it about Dmitri and Broski?" It could have been, though Sylvester could not be very sure. Andrea was just as impulsive and spontaneous as he, and that meant the options were endless. That aside, he still hoped it wasn't something bad, even if Sylvester felt he knew he did nothing wrong. "His Swinub seemed alright after the battle, as far as I could tell." Here was hoping she wasn't mad.
the smile was instantly wiped off of her face at the mere mention of dmitri and broski.
"what happened to broski?"
once they were allowed some privacy as they entered the clearing, andrea peered up at sylvester with a worried expression on her face. she hid nothing from him, revealing a genuine show of concern as she questioned the male. her hand squeezed his, the moment having grown tense even when she had preferred it did not.
"he's alright... right?"
now that she thought of it, it had been several days since both her and dmitri had exchanged messages. she looked to vivian, who was in the process of eying the pair.
"give us some privacy, girl."
"misdre..."
the pokemon faded moments later, disappearing from sight.

Easily being able to discern that Andrea was worried, Sylvester felt he was able to shrug it off, describing what he had meant once Andrea's ghost pokemon sifted away into thin air. "Nothing, really. Broski seems to have been going through some changes, though, after his many defeats at the hands of my Combusken." It probably sounded a little bit cocky for him, but he wasn't going to lace his words with deceit. Sylvester would say it how he saw it.
"He's grown a bit, hairs gotten all shaggy...looks a bit of a mess." Sylvester could see why, though, as the Swinub was inevitably going to evolve into a Piloswine. They weren't exactly known for being pretty, but they certainly were a powerful and unique pokemon. It even seemed to do very well at Dmitri's side. "I think they're just tired of losing. Maybe it will help develop them to where they will finally be able to beat my Combusken?" Though in all honesty, Sylvester still weighed the odds against him losing.
andrea visibly deflated, a frown tugging at her lips as she now cast the male a look of feigned irritation.
"seriously? pickin' on poor broski with flint?"
she shook her head but her smile had returned, relief evident on her features.
"as long as he's alright, then it's whatever. happy ta hear he's gettin' bigger."
another laugh escaped her.
"ya know, i'll be fightin' flint again, soon enough. lookin' forward ta it. i think tanya's willin' ta take the challenge. maybe even my ghost-type, vivian... she still gone?"
her gaze wandered.
"yup."
the girl finally released his hand, turning away to approach the clearing's center. she peered up at the sky, noting that the weather was now pleasant. despite the weight that had pressed against her shoulders now being gone, she still wanted to continue confirmation of sylvester's affiliation. she had questions, and she intended to ask them.
"have ya... seen that green-haired chick since then? what was her name, anyway? i never bothered ta learn it."

It was amusing how quickly Andrea let go of the news about Broski once she heard he was growing. Though, the sudden mention of Syndra caught Sylvester off guard, especially seeing as she let go of his hand before asking. 'What is this all about, I wonder...?'
"I met with her not long ago. Nothing good came of it, though. I know she isn't happy with any of what happened, even regarding me or you." Syndra had priorities just the same as Andrea and Sylvester, and it wasn't something he could really hold against her. Though, Andrea had reason to, so of course Sylvester could imagine why Andrea decided to bring her up. "Has something been bothering you?" He took a step closer towards Andrea, pondering the possibilities.
"To be honest? I am starting to worry a bit myself. I recently bumped into an old friend of mine...she just became a trainer." He said this in hopes of giving Andrea some insight on what exactly he fretted about. "Her name is Harley. We grew up together back in Lilycove City."
she struggled to respond to his first question - and quickly dodged the subject by taking advantage of him mentioning a childhood friend.
"harley?"
andrea cast him a look of approval, a smile on her face as she realized his tone held warmth.
"got the hots fer her, i'm guessin'?"
as he stepped closer, she mimicked the action, a playful gleam in her eye.
"she's a lucky gal if she's got yer attention."
her hand moved to gingerly caress the handsome features of his face. at this particular moment, she felt truly blessed. to possess a multitude of companions - all beautiful in their own unique way. she had been presented with a wide spread of personalities that melded well with one another when allowed to mingle.
"ya'd look good with some scruff on yer face," she muttered, her eyes wide as she examined him.
andrea allowed for her touch to linger, a look of wonder forming on her face as she took the time to familiarize herself with sylvester's distinct features. eventually a sigh escaped, and she pulled away, once again averting her gaze.
"i'm really happy yer my friend, sylvester," she muttered, arms limp at her sides. "i know we haven't known each other fer long. a month, more or less. but, yer special."
her eyes widened, and she grimaced as though in pain.
"aw, shit. i'm bein' a fuckin' girl again. what the fuck. sorry 'bout that, man. usually i don't talk about emotions and shit."
the coordinator looked uncomfortable - as though she was out of place and unsure how to go about this conversation. the last person to make her feel this way was julius, and it was becoming blatantly obvious that sylvester had managed the task of wriggling his way into her heart.

Sylvester realized now a bit more what Andrea was doing, whether knowingly or not. "Uh, I guess you could...say that." It was pretty awkward for him discussing his feelings about someone with someone other than that person. Especially with how Andrea was acting, it was sort of like... 'Wait, does Andrea like me or something?' The thought daunted over him, and Sylvester suddenly felt as though he was going to panic. Anxiety gripped him momentarily until he realized it was just him overreacting, or something to that accord.
"I get you, don't worry." That was when Andrea began to panic herself. "I'm also glad. Though it's weird, I started to like you and now Harley is back...sorry, if not for that then for this." Sylvester moved close to Andrea and hugged, practically squeezing out the emotions from the girl. Things had been getting serious in all aspects of his life, and having Andrea as his sort of 'partner-in-crime' helped him persevere in their endeavors.
a flicker of surprise crossed her face before it was quickly replaced by amusement.
"'course ya would. i mean, who wouldn't - ?"
the hug had followed, and andrea eagerly melted into the embrace. she enjoyed his touch and the strength of his arms as they encircled her and pressed her closer. the coordinator felt safe, and her arms wrapped around him as she returned the show of affection with her own. eventually, the girl pulled away with her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
"i'm always here if ya need me. got it?"
she retreated a couple of steps, a bounce in her step.
"now, let's get a bit of action in! all this lovely-dovey-huggy shit is crampin' my style!"

"Yeah sure, why not." The emotionally dense moment between them was short-lived, but Sylvester liked it that way. It seemed easier to let go of her from their embrace, especially due to his competitive nature as a testosterone-driven male. "You can face Brolaf for a change." Prying his own pokeball out from the depths of his trench coat, Sylvester summoned the Slowpoke onto the field between them, taking several paces back to give their pokemon some room for the battle. They would likely be needing it. "Remember, don't go easy..."
With that, the Slowpoke walked forward and stared at Andrea, opening his mouth only to keep it open as he tried to distract her by communicating telepathically to Andrea "You shall not pass..."
the coordinator was tempted to rush forward and scoop up the pink pokemon, her fingers twitching as she felt the psychic-type's words tickle her mind.
"nice ta meet ya, brolaf," she crooned. "guess i'll pull out snivy fer this one!"
she produced a pokeball and aimed, the graceful grass-type entering the field shortly afterward. the snivy greeted sylvester and his pokemon with a simple wave before readying himself by taking up a battle-ready stance.
"i want ya ta wear him down, boy!"
"sniv!" he replied.
"use vine whip!"
the snivy obeyed, lashing out against his foe with the green tendrils.
