"I like you. Really. So don't make me do this."

He lifts his arm, stopping Feral from going for the woman's throat. The vague threat wasn't necessary, of course. Silver would've stopped his Pokèmon from taking things too far no matter who came to check on them - and he knew, from the second the Water-Type took down a whole tree with one last attack during his trainig, that someone would've come.

He didn't expect someone who would react like that, tho, that's for sure.

"Feral, down."

He's not going to bring the giant alligator back in his PokèBall, just to be sure, but he's going to keep him at a short leash. For now.

"...there's no need to get aggressive."

not half bad for a rocket.

ariana purses her lips at the backhanded remark, but her composure stays poised. sturdy. no scenes at dinner, especially when she's being treated. they're in some fancy lumiose restaurant--crystal chandeliers, gold leaf on plates, expensive wines in glasses--their privacy secured by a thick partition shielding them from the other patrons (or the other patrons from them.)

belladonna, ariana's arbok, coils languidly by her trainer's heels (much to the chagrin of the waitstaff, but none have the nerve to tell ariana off.)

in response to malva's coy remarks, the rocket looks up...and laughs.

huh, thought he was a runaway member of the blue man group

Something else I want to point out is that although they may cause headaches for another during downtime, Adam recognises and respects Malva as Lysandre’s ‘co-lead’. If she tells him to do something he’ll do it just as eagerly as he would with Lysandre. She is, after all, the only one in the organisation who ranks above him than the boss himself.

She may not have his loyalty for the exact same reasons as Lysandre does but she does have it, and there’s a firm difference for him between when they’re making jabs and taking the piss during a dull moment and when it is time for business.

“ Malvaaaa

     it’s such a beautiful world out there. 

Forget the Flower, let’s tear it down. I was absolutely positively wrong about how corrupted and insufficent the human populace is~!! ”
