"Get out."

[   he  y guess who’s back ]

A hum of a laugh left him as he entered the room and sat by his friend, offering the beast near them one malasada and Gladion another. “You’re welcome!” Hau chirped, pulling his orange pack onto his lap and taking out his own malasada to snack on. 

It was nice, Hau noted. It wasn’t very long that the Ex-Team Skull member had been living with him and his grandfather, but the brunet could definitely tell the blond was trying his best to settle, and Hau felt glee welling up in his chest whenever he thought about it. He wanted to do his best to make Gladion feel at home here!

 “So, how’re you liking it here?”

The Synthetic Pokémon gave a rather excited chirrup at the offered food, almost immediately grabbing the fried bread with their jaws - while being rather careful not to bite Hau, of course - before lying down on the floor and holding it with their claws as they ate. Gladion gave a far less enthusiastic reaction, though nodded his head slightly in thanks nonetheless.

The former enforcer used the time it took to actually contemplate his answer to the question that had been posed in order to get a bite or two of the pastry - a Sweet one, much to his surprise. He made no attempt to speak until he had swallowed the food in his mouth, sighing softly to himself.

   -- “It’s alright, I suppose-... Certainly much better than that run-down motel...”

... There seemed to be a few seconds of hesitation, resulting in a short, awkward silence. Eventually Gladion’s voice was heard again, one pale hand moving to scratch at his sleeve almost nervously.

↳ Bold what applies to your muse!

The lab doors slid open, detecting Gladion’s motion. In the back of the room sat a small cage. Inside, a pair of glowing eyes glared back at him in the dark.

The room was too dark to see very well. The darkness made the boy somewhat anxious, and he swallowed over a lump in his throat as he attempted to calm himself. That pair of eyes staring at him, though... They seemed to make it even more difficult. After a few seconds, the door to the lab slid shut, leaving him with the mysterious creature. Was this what he had heard about-...? 

The BKP?

   -- “... ... Hello-...?”

Now was the time.

Most everyone within the house was asleep. Now was Gladion’s chance to sneak down to the lower levels. He had heard talk about something going on down there; something big. Something important. Something that was supposed to be kept top secret from the outside world. And he wanted to find out what it was.

Almost completely silent, the blonde managed to sneak out of his bedroom, and quietly slipped out through the door to make a break for the main building. He wanted to be quick about it, just in case anyone actually did happen to be awake at this hour-... It was a bit difficult for Gladion himself to stay awake, though the adrenaline did help somewhat. 

After reaching the lift with no issue, he punched in the code that he had seen other Aether employees use hundreds of times, and waited for the lift to take him down to the secret labs. This is insane, he thought to himself. This could get him in serious trouble. But that was the least of his concerns at the moment.

 “Gladion ! Would you and your team like to share some malasadas ? The store owner gave me some extras when I went to buy some. Isn’t that great ?!”

The blonde looked up as soon as the door to the room had opened, taking his attention off of his Silvally for a moment to meet the other boy’s gaze. He had been quietly brushing his partner’s fur, though he paused in his actions in order to pay attention to the conversation.

   -- “Huh? Oh, well, I guess so. Thanks.”
