Ah, yes. His favorite guy, skipping work just like her. Classic.
"Eh, you know. The uuuusual.
Got to see Alola lately. That's nice."
AVOIDING THE SUBJECT, BABYGIRL?
"I'm doing as well as usual I suppose. The League's still holding itself together, so all is good."
Well as usual could mean anything coming from Steven. Usually it meant 'drowning in work but taking it all in my stride,' or 'avoiding league paperwork by going searching for rocks and good battles'. Either way he gave Sapphire a small smile.
"And how about you? Everything still holding together ok?"

"Hmmmh, gotcha." a nod, and the lollipop returns in her mouth as she shares a chill smile with the other.
"Nah, actually, hold up just oooone sec-" she grumbles, checking the map on her phone again before opting for showing them the logo of the local motel. "You know where this is? Don't feel like getting lost right nowwww."
"Grandkid, technically." Maybe she didn't wanna talk about the whole legendary thing with a stranger? Fair enough.
"And yeah, that might have been with my demotion..." Which still sucked. Even if it meant being more free now. "I didn't mean to be a paparazzi... I was just curious. I can leave you be if you want?"
"Yeah we kinda take turns yeeeeah but he mostly has control over all that.
Think it's his turn now. Dunno. Haven't seen the League in like a year or something."
@whereskymeetsea
the ocean is still there dw
❝ is STEVEN back ? ❞
❝ always kinda wanted ta' battle him, but WALLACE was champion at th' time ... ❞
"Yeppers"
It's barely rudeness or disrespect.
She genuinely keeps forgetting.
"How are you holding up? Everyone doing their job at the League?"
No comment on the fact that she's blatantly ignoring her duties.
"... No matter how many times I ask you to not call me that, you're never going to stop, are you?"
[ btw sapphire can megaevos two pokemon per battle.
bc i said so ]
