His secretary blinked.

"Do you know that woman, sir?"

Leon rubbed his forehead, "You could say that.."

Now, he couldn't look away from the screen. He had to know Lillium would be okay..

Leon finally looks up to see the screen. He drops his pen as he not only sees both Will and Lucian evacuating people, but the scene of a battle between Lillium and some strange looking dragon had him speechless.

"Lil...what the hell is she doing there..?"

Another late night up catching up with work he missed, he heard a light knock on his door.

"Come in.." he calls out.

As the door opens, his secretary rushes to his desk, pulling out her Rotom.

"Chairman, have you seen the news lately? The stadium in Sinnoh is wild.."

temporary pinned.

"Are you sure about that?"

He crosses his arms. " You haven't said anything inappropriate to Piers or anything like that today?"

He has a feeling that today might be a long day. Leon pinches his brows,"Hop..are you causing problems while I'm at work?"

She was trying to protect herself from being hurt again and he can't blame her for that. Leon rubbed the back of his neck, trying to think of what he could do - until an idea came to mind.

"Why don't you come with me?"

She survived here on this island on her own for several centuries, longing to have someone who would understand and stand by her side.

He could see why she was pushing him away now.

However, as he spent more time here and learned her story, her reasoning for bringing him here, he could understand why she was upset.

Her family and former lovers all abandoned her. Disowning her for being different.

". . . ."

Leon was shocked in himself for feeling guilt from her words. He was originally shocked and a bit annoyed that this woman managed to charm him and take him away from his office. Waking in a foreign place and feeling completely disoriented from his situation.

He blinked for a moment, obviously looking confused.

"Pretending to care? I'm not -"

There's about to be some drama between Leon and Lillium, but it's all part of the script / plot plans I have. ouo

She may have been introduced as a baddie but she will turn into quite the rival for TR.

Yeah, there was definitely something wrong. Usually, she would he eager to talk his ear off. Now, she was giving him radio silence.

He slowly wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, giving her cheek a brief kiss.

"Lilly, you know I won't judge you if you speak your mind, right? Talk to me."

He was glad that someone reached out, but he couldn't help but feel that she wasn't happy about this arrangement.

Leon took a few steps towards her, a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"You don't sound happy about that.."

As she ran, she went past Leon, who had a questionable look on his face.

"What was that about..?"

Walking beside him was his ace, Charizard, and even his partner looked confused.

"You're always worried about me overworking myself. Let me take care of you for one day.

I don't want to see you burn yourself out."

He just gave her a look.

"Sonia.."

Leon leaned his forehead against her own.

"You know..even though I have quite a bit of paperwork, I usually try to keep a routine when it comes to sleep hours.

I think I'll have you come home with me, at least for tonight. You need your beauty rest."

He hugs her tightly, holding her close.

"I hope you slept well. I know how you tend to work until an ungodly hour."
