A break, enough time to find out about what he was up against. Julius was pretty goal-oreintated, for most of the time that he wasn't busy flirting with ladies, anyway. A library was the usual scene for him, and after many years at Hoenn doing nothing but wandering this specific place had become his favorite. It was a hole-in-the-wall coffeshop, where instead of the usual hustle and bustle, there was dignified air of calmness adapted to and respected by every customer.
The drinks were delicious, but what was more was that the walls were made up of shelves and the place doubled as a library. And of course, free wifi. Which was the main feature he was seeking to exploit today. Julius had his glasses on, and sadly no cigarette on his lips- that was his only problem with this place. Oh well.
He opened the laptop he carried with him everywhere, and began researched. He'd start with Aqua. Alphabetical worked. He flexed his fingers, sipped his coffee, and allowed his typing to join the chorus of the rest's, soft but distinct and the same mechanical, rhythmical noise.
His eyes hardly left his screen, and he became focused. Intense. Not much could disrupt his trance except a direct call out to him, but he doubted that would happen in a place like this.

It's a hole in the wall, a grand place. Library and cafe together, well mix idea really. Charlie couldn't have picked a better place to be when she wants a place to relax. Her head is in a book as she walks with an open bottle of water in hand. The stories of Odysseus was amazing, how adventure was around almost anywhere around you.
Unknown of those around her, the girl was sure that there was nothing ahead of her at all. Nothing at all. No, no problem right? A trip over her own feet, water fleets out from the bottle. Liquid, out, gone, it splashes itself on a male, it's not much but it just wet's his head. A swear of profanity escapes her lips as she then picks herself up. Push from the ground.
Dress in only a white shirt and bomber jacket, plaid skirt and boots, the girl was in for the mood for reading, not falling down on her front and wet someone with her freshly open water bottle. Well damn, I should have seen that coming really. The girl goes for a sigh and looks about.
"Ah, shit, damn, I am going to be in a fucking lot of trouble now," she breathes in. She looks up to see a male, hair black and those hipster glasses. Somehow, it appears appealing for her. She may have no fashion sense, but, damn do those glasses look nice to look at.
"Hey uhm, sorry for that dude, I didn't mean to, I was just reading Odysseus and such," she rambles.

Obviously the first thing that happened had to be some god forsaken fool throwing water at him. Obviously. He turned to his side, staring disdainfully at the girl who had tripped and fallen down, bottle of water in her hand. She began scrambling up and muttered some nonsense while Julius was still patting his hair and assessing the damage. He wiped his glasses and let her finish.
Then he quickly closed all the tabs he had open on Team Aqua, undoubtedly drawing her attention to them. Although in the end it didn't matter- it wasn't like he was going to prolong this. Julius smiled at her. "Don't bother apologizing," she said, reaching out for his own bottle of water. Still smiling, he threw a little bit of water on her head, and then put the bottle down.
"We're even," he said, smile disappearing. And the second they were even, Julius was okay with it. No grudges no nothing. He turned back to the computer, but then awkwardly glances back at the girl.

What. The. Fuck.
The male is gorgeous really. Perfect men are liars in the beginning and never stay loyal. Too bad, he would have been a great person to hang out with. Too bad, too bad. When he close the tabs, she assumes he was doing what all males do. Porn. Not at all bad really; she understands. Her old friends did that too. Cleavage appears and bam there they go from there. Luckily she would walk out from there.
Water goes on her head. She's wet, well there goes the weather. At least she was going to be alright for now. "Hey! Not reasonable here!" she puffs her cheeks. This was suppose to be one of those days where she could be able to relax with no problems added to her name.
Not much to say anymore, the girl huffs a bit more and sits across from the male. "Not really, but, I still apologise for the thing that happened. You just didn't need to pour water on me."
Post by Julius Kingston on May 17, 2015 2:57:35 GMT
The girl starts huffing about how unreasonable he's being, and he chuckleslike it hasn't even happened. He turns to her, eyes twinkle with mischief as his hands run through his hair, which is practically oozing even more charisma thanks to the water. "It's just some water, what's the big deal?" He was being hypocritical on purpose, of course. That kind of humor was pretty much set to get on anyone's nerves, and as usual, Julius wanted to infuriate every person he met.
He snorted at what she said next, he really couldn't stand people like that. Apologies don't make the world go around. Apologizing in itself is useless. Was he supposed to back down after an apology? A wave of anger washed over him, but Julius hid it behind his normal face. He shook his head at the girl, in a sort of you're too young to understand manner, and then shifted back to his screen.
"Well if you don't mind, I dunno, not looking over my shoulder?" It was a bit harsh, but he really needed to get back to what he was doing- the girl was less relevant right now.

She can't understand at all. If it's porn it's cool right? Instead of idly standing behind him, she sits across from him instead. Her book now on the table and the water bottle capped and down on the ground next to the chair she sat on.
She puts it forward, "If you're doing porn it's not that bad you know, I'm not some small kid who doesn't know much about this world already," She could and she couldn't care, right? Her arms are on the table now as she leans forward. "What are you doing though that seems so confidential? Other than porn of course."
It's suspicious really, to have someone so secretive just pour water on your head. You may have a cute face, but it doesn't mean I won't smack your face a couple of times to make not pretty.
Post by Julius Kingston on May 17, 2015 4:03:28 GMT
He openly glares at her when she sits across from him. Julius likes privacy, especially when it comes to things that touch his past or his future. It would have been okay if the girl was a little older, but she hardly looked a day over ten. And that wasn't a compliment. He stops his glaring and sighs instead. If she's sitting across from him, she can't look at what he's doing.
Lazily he begins typing what he was looking for yet again, before shock grabs him when the girl suggests he was looking at porn. What the fuck? Was this kid messed up or something? She then defiantly states that's she's not just a little kid, which makes him laugh all over again.
He pulls his laptop towards him the second she leans over, making sure she doesn't see. The tabs aren't quite open again, but this is a good time to stress privacy as any other. He wonders for a bit, and then decides that this is the best way to play it.
"Yeah yeah, of course it's porn." He pauses for a bit, locking eye with the younger girl. "Are you sure you want to stay and watch?" He says, glaring at her with a smile, pushing her and checking if she's really going to bother staying here now.
There, that should get the hell off his back.

So he admits it, does it deem true though? She wasn't sure at all. With her heads above and the body below what more can be done of her moment now? If this was to scare her off in some shape or form, it doesn't appear to work with her. She looks at him for a bit and shrugs. She's seen worse. Mainly in the wild. Birds and the bees are no different for her really.
With his laugh, she felt a bit of annoyance and a bit of regret. Yeah, mindset of a kid, fuck you man. She crosses her arms and sighs. "Yeah, laugh at me all you want, I just thought you were watching porn," why should she be around him any longer for now? With a heavy sigh. She stays where she is, a stance of her ground; a rebellion. If he wants to fight? Sure, go for it, she wouldn't care if he wears glasses.
"But then again, you're probably watching something else, since you're agreeing to the fact that you're watching porn. Usually, a smart person would come up with some fascist lie. Is it the truth or is it not?"
Post by Julius Kingston on May 20, 2015 8:44:39 GMT
Julius honestly can't help but be annoyed when the girl just sits in front od him like nothing his wrong. He looks past his screen at her, his head tilting as he put it in his palm to observe the younger girl. She's getting on his nerves, and not exactly in fun and friendly way kids were supposed to. Then again, Julius didn't quite like kids, either. But most of it had to do with circumstance. If she hadn't been disrupting his work, it probably would have admired her for her defiance. Right now, though, he was just annoyed.
"You're awfully stupid for a person who seems to consider themselves smart," he says, tone bland and devoid of emotion as his hand reaches up to the top of the laptop's screen in order to pull it down. Once the screen is out of the way, he can see the girl completely, and his eyes hardly hide the irritation he feels.
"You keep saying the word porn but I'm not sure you know what that means- I'm not even wearing headphones for god's sake how would I be watching porn? And in a coffeeshop?" He gestures around them, reminding the girl that it's an open space were people all around can hear and see them. "Anyway, if I was going to tell you what I was doing, wouldn't I have done so already?"
He waved his logic in the face of the younger girl, hoping she'd finally leave him alone after his less than kind remarks. He waves his hand around the air dismissively. "Anyway, aren't you supposed to be with your parents or something? Geez, kid..."

Oh, goodie, he was angry! Charlie never felt at all a hint of accomplishment. Somehow, she felt in the back of her head was the egging feeling of a destroyed moment of the sorts. You know, one of those moments where it should have been a light conversation; but it instead turned in for the worse for the two just bickering at one another. No big deal. She didn't fancy men who always appear to have this form of "humble air" around them. Reminds her too much of annoying figure head she looked up to in the past.
"And you're awfully rude to call me stupid," she replies back, the same expression as him. If this is a game, she plays along to it. It won't do harm for her really. Unless if it's a fist fight. Bring it on. The irritation in his eyes cause her to have a playful smile on her lips.
She blinks at his explanation. There's logical reasoning to it really. But, she's smart, she knows there's different type of porn to look at. "Have you not heard of manga?" she cocks a brow up. What was he? An unintelligent person of the planet? Even though she has been out of the loop with technology, at least she knows of the world of reading and books. "Hentai man, what the hell," she's unimpressed already. He can go elsewhere. "But, you do have a point, sadly, I'm somewhat curious as to what you're doing."
She places her book on the table and smiles defiantly almost. "Hah, I should let you know that I'm eighteen years old, not some kid," she snaps to the older individual. "And you? Aren't you supposed to take in your medicine you grandpa?"
Post by Julius Kingston on May 20, 2015 10:25:19 GMT
He sees her smile and he can't believe he actually found himself getting annoyed. At a girl. Who's probably "thriteen and a half." Oh dear he'd fallen low. Well, anyway, that was alright. He breathed in slowly, relaxing himself. Her annoyed remakrs hardly even made him flinch- she was starting to sound like the delinquents he'd verbally abuse back in his days in Kanto. Brainless, manner-less and completely unreasonably aggressive.
It's his turn to blink back at her. Hasn't he heard of manga? Well of course he has, that much was clear. But Julius would never lose a logical debate, even if he had to lie to achieve sweet victory. "No actually, I haven't." He let out an over-drawn sigh and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Congratulations of being the more digusting of the two of us, hentai addict," he said, arms thrown up in the air as though he was defeated.
"'Fraid I can't tell you what I'm doing, though, kid," he said, smiling, stilling giving her the condescending smile. When she told him his age, though, he almost choked. But then Julius let out a sigh of relief. "Oh thank god, I'd feel guilty for so thoroughly insulting anyone younger than that. Good on you," he mocked, not even relenting now that he knew she was technically old enough to take it. He glared at her for a bit at the remark about his age, but then his eyes lit up in realization. Ofcourse. That was the easiest way to get her out of his hair.
"You're right!" he exclaimed, beaming at the girl and he reached into his shirt pocket and removed a packet of cigarettes. "Grandpa does need his medicine." He then pretended to be not aware, and then pretended to 'discover' a sign that read 'no smoking.' Letting out an obviously fake gasp, he stood up, picked up his bag, and shook his head ruefully at Charlie.

He was annoyed, annoyed! Hey this turned out better than she thought! Happily, the girl keeps on going with her persistence. Who knows what else she can do with this? With a sly smile she watches him a bit more. Who knows where this can go from here? He has a pretty face, but that's all to it. It all goes crashing down and down eventually. If she was brainless and witless, where would she be now? Certainly not here with the individual!
"Eh?" she looks at him a bit, unsure of what to say. "You must be joking, even the most reasonable of people know of it."
She's almost flabbergasted. "You know I could punch you in the face any moment right you jerk face?" she has her hand on her lap, balled into a fist as she looks at him with an expression of anger. She's not afraid to hit a man with glasses. In a civilised world, this would be frowned upon. But, who cares? She's a wild child.
His mockery makes her want to punch him a bit more. She closes her eyes and takes in a few deep breaths. This was not the time, not at all. "Are you that much of a loser?" she asks him.
"Eh? Grandpa shouldn't be smoking at all," she scowls as she stands up. "Grandpa should at least eat apple sauce like all old people should."
Implication of how she has the view of her very own grandparents. Who's to say they would at all notice their grandchild missing? Not at all.
"I'm going to follow you Gramps, so you don't have a heart attack and die on the streets somewhere."

He smiles softly at her being taken aback and quickly defending her own little private hentai world. This girl was wonderfully eccentric, he'd give her that. Any other day and he'd have loved to talk to her and annoy her around town. But sadly he wanted to get something down today, and be productive in his goal. Shen then threatens to punch him and Julius is left to laugh.
"And you know I'd punch you right back, sister," he says, and he's only half-joking in his claim. He says it while laughing though, so he's not sure if the girl takes him seriously. Even when he genuinely tells her that he'd feel bad if she was younger than eighteen, she responds with a petty attempt at making him feel insulted. Julius frowns, like he's chiding her (which he probably is).
"Geez yeah but at least I'm a well-manner loser. Little girls aren't my type." He offers her another chuckle, not even minding while he's laughing at his own jokes. The girl stands up with Julius, and Julius doesn't really think she'll follow him. Too bad his calculations are wrong. He turns around by the time she's down realizing what has happened, and he's already half way out the door when he realizes what the girl is saying.
Seriously?
She's following him outside. Some small little insignificant part of Julius wants to spin around and make good on his threat of punching her, but then Julius remembers that that's not exactly in line. Instead, he stops for a bit, takes a cigarette out of his mouth and then lights it.
A long, long swing is exactly what he needs to get his mood back and running. He turns to meet Charlie, and silently blows out the smoke. He's tall enough so that the smoke won't directly affect her, but it probably annoys her non the less. Surprisingly, Julius is a lot calmer now.
"Fine fine," he says, waving his hand dismissively. "Stalk me all you want. Join the fan club if you like." A good grin returns as the cigarette find its way back into his mouth.
