15th Tomoe || Video, Action for Goldenrod City

[beforethedarkness]

[A tired and quite irritated Sasuke is the first thing that shows up on the gear, and in the background behind him is Obito, Tenten, and Evan. It's obvious that they're outside in Goldenrod City, and although Sasuke looks a little worse for wear he's much better than he was after the Valentine's Attack was done.

Even if he still has bandages over burns and puncture marks and his right arm is still in a cast.]

If I don't answer a message the first time, leaving twenty more isn't going to make me answer any faster. I just went through 174 messages on my gear.

[A heavy sigh, and he shakes his head.]

I was in Ilex forest trying to catch some pokémon. I wanted to do it alone. That's all there is to it.

[Shutting off the video, because irritation is at maximum. He's going to go make Whitney cry get the Plain Badge now, if only because he never wants to be made that weak and vulnerable ever again.]

Team Rocket is a bunch of jerks that don't deserve to get anymore innocent Pokemon.

And regardless of how stubborn and pigheaded you are, your Pokemon seem okay.

[beforethedarkness]

[He's giving her a flat stare at that comment.]

I don't need help.

[for_realsies]

I never said you did.

But I figured it might be safer if the option where there, that's all.

[beforethedarkness]

It's not safer for you.

[for_realsies]

*Dramatic sigh. Imogen slips off her glasses, then undoes the pair of buns in her hair. That was a lot of work this morning undone to prove a point.*

I'm an actress, give me a little time and I can look like just about anyone other than me. It's as safe as anywhere with Rockets around.

[beforethedarkness]

When they're looking for me specifically?

[He's not as easy to hide, Imogen... Especially not with that very distinct hair of his.]

[for_realsies]

*She puts her hair in a simple pair of tails.*

Who said I'd be right next to you. That'd be stupid.

Just, I'd be around, it wouldn't work too well outside of town but a city full of people? Who would look for me, especially if I'm just some girl.

If it gets too dangerous I'll run away and save myself, that make you feel better?

[beforethedarkness]

...

Maybe.

[for_realsies]

*That isn't a no.*

I mean, there are options with this. If you chase off the Rockets I can follow them, or let one of my Pokemon do it.

If the Rockets want you, we can use that. Make them choke on it!

[beforethedarkness]

Hn.

[It's not a yes either Immy. Not a no, but not a yes.]

[for_realsies]

*How can you say no to this face?*

[beforethedarkness]

[Simple. He can start thinking of you as a fangirl.]

[for_realsies]

Look, I know it isn't your perfect lone anti-hero dark broody thing.

But if Team Rocket is really after you, you should make it work against them.

[beforethedarkness]

We'll see.
