["That's not surprising, coming from someone as smart as you."
oh
sit down with her okay
"So he's dumb enough to do anything and he has the good intentions to act on it. You meet a lot of people with one trait or the other, but rarely both. People with both are pretty dangerous. They're willing to do anything if it feels right."]
[she does! let her get on that while her abra dozes off order whatever you'd like and it'll be on the house
"So what else can you tell me? A guy who'd stake his fortunes to buy a beach house for his sweetheart is pretty interesting to hear about. I want to know about you too, and in return I'll tell you about me and Raab, my Abra."]
[...] I used to live in Kanto. Now I stay with him. [This isn't a safe public subject and he doesn't know her that well, but no one's really paying attention to them, so...]
["I can see why you'd stay here, Kanto's pretty bad from what I've heard... I've seen some shady characters around Goldenrod too. They don't do much, but it reminds me of a few years ago when Team Rocket tried taking over Johto." remember that silver wow-- "I think they're just some rowdy teens though. Anyway, your turn. Ask me a question."
["My older sister's a champ at bluffing. I had to learn to be just as good as her and my mom, though my little sister isn't interested at all. Poppa never approved, but it's too fun to give up. But I guess that's what you get for being an officer's daughter. Having Raab helps a lot too. We're in this together."
["That's what I aim for. She's perfection itself!" longing sigh
ah yes raab
"I won him in a hustle when I was visiting Celadon City before it, you know, all went to hell. His other trainer was using him to cheat other players out of their money, just regular innocent people, and I put down something of equal importance to save him. Raab's never gotten rid of his gambling habit, so he must've raised to do this... It's helped a lot though. We're doing it for good now by hustling people who hustle in the first place."
it sounds like the same thing but it's different okay]
["You bet. I can't stand the sight of a con man. I'm sure he was doing it for fun or whatever, but those people he hustled have families to feed too. And goading them into losing all that money wasn't nice at all."
kind of a jerk move really
maybe he's better now she'd have to see for herself about mr hot shot]
no subject
[No shame here-]
no subject
considering her own ex's were a little more shamed by what she gave them
"So he does it often? I don't know if I want to say that's very teenage of him or what. You don't seem to mind it."]
no subject
[No shame in showing or admitting that.]
Besides, I used to do office work in a super villain costume.
no subject

(they missed their chances to have sex in skirts)]
no subject
[Not the entire truth but very much the truth and a lot easier than the whole truth-]

no subject

nice to meet you Raab-]
What do you want to know?
no subject
but yes ice cream they'll have a buffet of ice cream practically wheeled to them
"You're not a country kid like he is, are you? New Bark Town's more of the suburbs, but it's still more country than Goldenrod. Where are you from?"]
no subject
no subject
that's how they're doing this, yup]
no subject
ha
moving on-]
Where'd you learn to gamble so well?
no subject
she shrugs]
no subject
Where... Wait, it's your turn now. Right?
no subject
it's a silly small question but she's seen more dye jobs than she could shake a fist full of money at]
no subject
no subject
okay cool it is natural wow
"I wish I had red hair. Heroes like redheads, you know? And your freckles are nice too." oh well
your turn]
no subject
Where'd you meet Raab?
no subject
ah yes raab
"I won him in a hustle when I was visiting Celadon City before it, you know, all went to hell. His other trainer was using him to cheat other players out of their money, just regular innocent people, and I put down something of equal importance to save him.

it sounds like the same thing but it's different okay]
no subject
...Did Raab ever belong to Team Rocket, or was it some random guy?
Regardless, hustling hustlers... She isn't afraid to play a little dirty to get at the bad guys.
Okay.]
Which is why you put Gold in his place.

[There's no sarcasm in his tone at all. It's still weird to think that people can just be so... So generous in looking out for other people.]
