[Mizuki's voice surprises him when he answers, but he's not as surprised that she's contacted him, only surprised that it could have taken this long. Had she not seen his network post? It didn't matter now.]
Not surprised Lillie told you.
[He pauses, the question making him sharply inhale. Should he tell her the truth? It wouldn't hurt seeing as this was a private call... as long as he tells her not to say a word about this to Guzma.]
You have to promise not to say anything. My safety is in danger if you do.
The last thing I remember from home was Guzma being pissed at me for betraying Skull, and beat my team down for it. You, Hau, and I were trying to rescue Lillie.
good. and i'm alright. i got caught up in a whole bunch of shit after we got separated, didn't have a chance to check in. you didn't go to the fun zone over in heropa, did you?
Fun zone? Oh, you mean that meat ship thing over there. No I didn't, I needed to take care of my Pokemon and make sure they were okay after all that. Did you?
fair enough. anyway, glad there's someone looking out for your scrawny hide. you got a knack for trouble. i mean, i dig it. but maybe not when the world's overrun by heart-stealing monsters.
When your boss is a gang leader, and you're the enforcer of that gang, it comes with the territory to get into trouble. Especially when the majority of those idiots don't have a single intelligent thought in their heads.
I'm what you'd call the enforcer, which is my title in it actually. Most of what they did back home was get in everyone's way and be a menace to society, same as what they're doing here from the looks of it. My boss is... A hothead who doesn't take failure lightly.
[a pause for a moment, not giving much detail in any of it just yet]
if that's all you've got to say about him, i dunno if that's a sign he ain't much of a boss, or too much of one. just curious what you're doing with your time, that's all. "menace to society" sounds like a whole lot of petty kid stuff. not really your thing, is it?
