The grasp was so sudden. It almost scared her in how quick he moved and how suddenly close they were. He never did this. Yet the shock of it all seemed to snap her out of whatever thought spiral she was about to go down. The apprehension in Corbeau's voice catches her attention, the tone, the quiet, like it was a secret.

The syllables roll around in her head for a minute before something in the back of her head clicks. The one bet this man makes and he lost. All of those times visiting a certain someone in Johto came in handy this one time. Zal understood.

She rips her wrist from his grip, but as quickly as he grabbed her, she hugs him. Tightly. Burying her face in his neck, a few stray tears from how overwhelmed her mind was for the moment. Too many things to feel at once. She was getting through it, slowly but surely. the man was really proving her point. The gut feeling was there, she had hoped it wasn't something she was making up.

"...あなたも." Her voice was also quiet, not helped by her using the jacket collar to hide her face. "Eso esperaba."

Hopefully he finally got it.

Zal could have stood there with him for ages, but the rush of energy from every emotion passing through her skull was making her feel a bit weak.

"Could we... go upstairs?" The office felt like it was not the best place for this conversation.

"My apologies. I did not mean to upset you."

"I wanted to come here personally to secure a good relation between us. I see no reason why the Rust Syndicate and Exceed can not see eye to eye. We mean no trouble here."

As the situation unfolds, and Exceed expand across the world, it was important to keep an eye on other groups; to avoid conflict with them if possible. It's just unfortunate for Spinel that he's caught Corbeau in such a foul mood.

"We're simply investigating."

Them, the region, Yris herself. Though there was no need to admit to that last part. What data, and information he has gathered lead him here out of his own interest.

@rustedcrow / Corbeau (cont.) Peripherally he had noticed the young woman making the note in the first place, but simply ignored it as visual noise that he needn't pay any mind to. Perhaps she was trying to give some lucky lad her number. She was cute, in her own sort of way. A 'girl-next-door' sort, he figured that would surely make anyone feel good to land. He blinked at the number and wondered if it had come to the wrong table. In the end, he was amused, and looked towards the woman, waving the slip of paper. "Bold one, aren't you? Or do you think it's thrilling to send your number to the Rust Syndicate?"

She admitted it. Not really a formal way to introduce herself. The scrap of paper did indeed have her number hand written upon it. However, there was more. The telltale luvdisc insignia of her freelance endeavors. Word of mouth around Lumiose led her to the Rust Syndicate, and her own compulsion to check it out took over. Whether it was for better or worse. She couldn't be scared of a couple of risks.

Perhaps she was foolish to wave the note to get either Corbeau's or one of his associates attention. Would going up directly to the table and sliding it across do any better?

Regardless that the note was indeed retrieved she was taken a back by his statement. "Ehhh, I promise it's of no ill intentions" she remarked lifting her hands in a truce like form. Really was he that strict that even a mere delivery girl could have been deemed to be troubling to him?

"To be honest, you I thought you may be of need in some services. Well, specifically delivery ones," she added trying to hide the awkwardness in her tone.

Then that spark of boldness crept in again "Of course if you don't want to accept it I could be on my way~" Right. This was the perfect reply to a Kalosian yakuza leader.

@rustedcrow from x.

Oh, well if he insists... it's his turn to oblige the smaller man, long fingers slipping beneath his chin to tilt Corbeau's head toward him as Guzma catches his lips. "Even boss guys need attention some days, huh?"

"What kind of Ditto is this!?"
