“ It’s been only two months I’ve joined the Team Rocket but I still don’t know how it properly works: do they choose to promote you ‘cause of your talent ou…? Becoming a spy or even a lieutenant sounds très interesting  for example, but I have no clue how to reach those ranks. ”

“Do you w-want one uh...” Nope, still no name came forth. How sad.

“They were indeed.” Satsuki smiled back at Ten. Her expression would’ve been visible as well had Ten not been bowing. “I was given a cat.” She nodded. “That is what the holidays are for. You work hard enough to have earned a short break.”

“A... c-cat?” Ten’s eyes sparkled as she unknowingly took a step closer, her usual habit of standing at least a metre away from Lady Satsuki seemingly void now that a feline was involved. “Wh-what breed? Wh-what’s their name? Di-did you g-get them a pretty collar?”

Ten’s muscles twitched, and then she was running in the opposite direction.

“Tell me about it,” he says, raising his left hand to wiggle his fingers at her - save for his missing pinky. He lets the hand drop, nuzzles a little against Ten’s shoulder. After a long silence he says; “I missed you. It’s good to see you back.”

Pressing back against him she nodded. “I missed y-you too.” Idly she let them rest there before nudging him over to start walking to her room. She was tired, and sleeping in the halls was rather frowned upon.

“ Ted who… ? Toutefois, it seems there’s still some hope left for me, then.  ”

She didn’t bother to inform who Ted was. If she lived long enough she’d find out herself. 

“ Do the Rocket grunts actually get promotions or is it just a myth…? ”

“It to-took me less than a month to be promoted to field a-agent.” A pause. “On the fli-flipside, it took Ted Falsey almost a-a year to become a junior scientist.”
