Ru raised her hands defensively and chuckled at him, before rolling her eyes. [break] "Alright, alright." She waved him off. "I'll stop with the jokes. If you don't want me to treat you like that, you shouldn't assume I'm too much older than you, though." She smiled pleasantly before turning back to the route ahead, practically marching down it now that he could actually keep up. [break][break] "Where are you from, Luc?" She pulled the briefcase up and switched it to her other hand, growing tired of carrying it in her right hand. "And how old are you, anyway? Just so I can gauge what's an interesting topic for us to walk on. Unless you have one to offer?" Ru looked over at him curiously.

The one question Luc knew he should never answer, because in Magma territory there was simply no kind faces for Aqua. Luc supposed the reverse was true as well; these teams were like water and fire with each other. No love lost between the two if an all-out war'd break out. If that happened, he was getting out of this faster than a Pidgeot using Quick Attack. "Ah, I am from Fortree," he lied easily, "but I decided I would take a long journey. Although Fortree is nice, I have sometimes felt I was barking up the wrong tree there. I did not quite fit in." That wasn't lied: he didn't fit in with Fortree City. He supposed there was no place he truly fit in anyway, because there were no open arms for Dittos and their capricious transformations. Maybe there were and he just hadn't found him yet. It was a possibility Luc had considered many times, and it was one of the reasons he sometimes took out on a journey. He had, thus far, managed to elude all notice of Team Magma. No big surprise, considering he never partook much in Team Aqua activities. Luc supposed he'd have to try putting in more effort. He resolved to do so at some point in the future. "For one so adamant in dancing around my questions, you sure like asking them," he observed, smiling. "Are you the meddling sort, auntie Bowmin?" BAO-MIN RU

Ru wrinkled her nose at his explanation, and then again at his use of the word auntie. Rolling her eyes, she held up her fingers and counted down. [break] "The briefcase has papers in it. Mission files, probably." She put down one finger, thinking of his other questions. She couldn't really remember much of them, so she just started listing off facts to him. "I'm twenty-six. I come from Mauville, I work a lot, and I really like apple pie." She started, thinking about what else she could tell him. [break][break] "I'm not the meddling sort, but I do like to know the person I'm walking with." She shrugged her shoulders and looked around, not really looking at him now. "Just trying to make polite conversation." She smiled and glanced back to him briefly, giving him a thumbs up. [break][break] "Also, I've changed my mind. Call me Ru. Just Ru." She flicked his shoulder. "Or I'll paralyze you." She warned, but it was half laughed out.

BAO-MIN RU rattled off the answers to questions Luc had asked before, and he only vaguely remembered what he'd asked. He could infer it from her, though. The mission files, at least, meant that she was with Team Magma very likely, and if he took the files and brought it back to Aqua it'd probably constitute a successful mission all on its own. Luc had zero desire to try and cross this lady, though. To say nothing of her continuous threats, she also seemed to change her mind quickly. "Very well, I shall call you 'Ru' then." He did not much feel like getting paralysed. It seemed like an altogether unpleasant thing. Luc did know a friend who was impervious to Paralysis, though, and he rather envied that. "I am Luc Alaike, I am twenty-one. I am a sort-of actor, and I prefer papaya." After a pause, he added, "I take it you are with Team Magma, then?"

Ru listened to Luc as he explained some of his traits, before nodding slowly to them. Almost an actor? Well, that was a nice sentiment at least. She smirked when he asked him if she worked for Magma, before slowly shrugging her shoulders. [break] "For now. I mostly work for myself. I don't really care what happened either way. I would have stayed in neutral grounds. But neutrality doesn't pay the bills." She looked down at him. "Briefcases with papers pay the bills." She shook it, before shrugging. [break][break] "Also, if you plan on stealing it from me, I'm okay with it and I'll probably just give it to you. The guy who gave me the mission is sort of a dick, so it's not like I owe him or anything. I just wanted to get paid." She yawned and held out the briefcase. "I think it's travel plans for him and his wife or something, I already took a look." She wiggled it. You wanna see? No use to anyone but him. Just don't want to get you laughed at if you're looking for brownie points."

Either BAO-MIN RU had developed telepathy, or she had just wildly guessed that he considered, for even a brief moment, that there would be merit to stealing it. She didn't look like an Alakazam, though. "Who said anything about stealing?" Luc asked. "I have honestly no interest in the contents of your case." Not to mention having it stolen, despite her thoughts on her boss, would probably damage her reputation and, by extension, her income. Luc did not understand how she could possibly even start suggesting it. "Have you even considered the damage of having it stolen, regardless of how trivial it might be?" Luc stared at Bao-Min, incredulous. "Your reputation is at stake here."

Ru smiled as he spoke, shrugging her shoulders at his defense. If he didn't want to steal it, that was fine with her too. Either way, she had already been paid, and obviously she had plans for if it happened. [break] "I guess I just don't care all that much what people think about me. I'm not around them long enough. If people want jobs done, they're going to ask whoever is willing to do them." Ru yawned before stretching out. [break][break] The conversation, however, had taken an unfortunate dark turn. She didn't want to talk out any sort of emotionally void problems she had right now; she felt like just relaxing on this walk back to where she needed to be. [break] "Anyway, it's all good. Nothing is going to happen either way, and life keeps on going." She glanced down to him and smiled. "It'll be fine."

"You should--" Luc started, but he sighed and shook his head. Never mind. It was none of his concern what BAO-MIN RU wanted to do with her life. If she felt that it was all right to disregard the damage to her reputation if she allowed her case to be stolen, it was not his place to argue the opposite. There were many people who claimed not to care for the opinions of others, but then despaired when people hated them. Luc knew; he was one of them. "It is not my place to meddle, then. I still have no ambitions to take away your charge, miss Bowmin." For someone five years his senior, she didn't really give off that vibe to be that much more worldly and mature. "If you do not care for Magma, nor for your clients, does that mean your ambitions lie elsewhere?"

Ru blinked and looked over at him, tilting her head. He seemed to be pretty curious about her ambitions. She couldn't tell if he was reciprocating her earlier questions, or if he was casing her as a person to figure out her weaknesses. [break] "Well, I do have clients I respect, I suppose. And some I would probably put my life on the line, for." She thought about it. "Ultimately, I just want to keep myself fed and clothed. There are a few people who come before that. Not many, but a couple." Her face grew more sullen. It wasn't something she often thought about. [break][break] "I try not to think about it too much. Ties lead to holes in plans, and it all goes downhill from there. Right now my loyalty revolves around myself, though. I have respect for my higher ups, but I'm not going to lick their shoes every time they go near something dirty. They seem to have forgotten what it's like working your way up." Ru sighed softly and ran her fingers through her hair. "This is pretty serious talk, though." Ru would keep going, but she didn't want to say too much, lest a floodgate of held back emotions poured out of her. [break][break] She tended to get a little angry when she was emotional, too. It wouldn't help either of them avoid troubles with villagers if she went on a tangent.

Looked like BAO-MIN RU was a true einzelgänger, and one with very low ambitions at that. Just live day to day life, huh. Luc aspired to much more than that, but now didn't seem like the place to brag about his purpose in life. It was something she'd discover eventually, and if not, well... Luc suppposed it wasn't a real problem for him. "Well, I had not meant to talk serious things," Luc said. "Merely hoped to hear you were aiming for some goal like, 'I'm gonna be the very best like no one ever was'." He smiled. "Let us talk tea and cookies then. Lovely weather we're having, no?" It was actually a pretty boring kind of weather. Luc much preferred rainfall over unclouded skies, and as a child had often gone out to hum in the rain. It was one of those things that pleased him, and no one else, so he could be certain it was something that he owned.

Ru sighed loudly and ran her fingers through her hair, closing her eyes for a moment. Of course she had goals and ambitions. But she would get there of her own devices; she didn't need anyone to talk about her to get her there. Things would work out however they were supposed to. [break][break] "I prefer rain." She mumbled quietly, shrugging her shoulders and glancing over at him. "Tea and cookies, that's interesting. What kind of tea do you like?" She glanced through her bag, blinking. "I actually have some in here..." Ru mumbled, digging through it and pulling out a little grey tin that held all her teabags. "I could make you a cup in the next town." She wiggled the tin and grinned slightly.

"It was an expression," Luc said, "though if you are offering tea, I do like green tea." It was obvious that he and BAO-MIN RU were from different worlds, for her to mistake the expression to 'talk tea and cookies'. Perhaps, though, he was the weird one? Was there a different expression he should have used? At the very least, the two agreed on rain being great. Luc would have guessed at Bao-Min's reason for joining Magma if she liked rain, but he recalled that she was just looking for money. That was fair, he supposed. "From the outside, you look aloof and grumpy, but you are actually a nice person, are you not, Ru?"

Ru stared at Luc for a moment, before giving him a tentative smile. She didn't really know if she was nice or not. She had done some pretty shitty things before. But she had also done some pretty okay things, too. She shrugged her shoulders.[break] "I wouldn't say I'm good, but I wouldn't say I'm bad, either..." She opened up the tin case and picked through some things, before pulling out a small package of green tea. [break][break] "I have green, you're in luck." She nodded, more to herself than to him, before tucking the tin back away. "What about you? Are you a nice person, Luc Alaike?" Ru tilted her head and watched him curiously. Ditto were interesting creatures.
