It's funny that we have Rose in the villain club now, because he's the only one that didn't break into Lusamine's house during the Rainbow Rocket event. He at least gets THAT much credit from her.

Achievement Unlocked: Didn't trespass. He can have a little medal. As a treat.

  Even after months spent without seeing a glimpse of the man, the once chairman still had a talent for making Bede feel very, very small.

  To say that Bede had contemplated the hypotheticals of running into Rose again would be a dire understatement. It was an inevitability, a dream and a nightmare that came in the guise of hundreds of different scenarios, each one bringing with it a sense of terrible dread or great vindication ( with no room for results in between ). An apology was supposed to be the latter... but as Rose continues to speak and speak, premeditated quips and retorts die on Bede's tongue before he gets the chance to use them.

  It would have been a kinder fate, being ignored. The words, templated as they must be ( an assumption that Bede's cynicism does him the favor of insisting ), send the teens emotions into utter disarray. He's upset, naturally. And Angry. Prideful. Resentful. Relieved, in a small way... Fitting, Bede supposes, how the man's words twist in his chest like a knife; fairy is weak to steel, after all. In a war of indigo and green, Bede's eyes are first to fall.

"What other way to handle it could there have been...?"

  The statement is rhetorical, not so much uttered out of acceptance ( no, most certainly not ) as it is a desperate attempt to strip away at least some of the apology, A bid for any scrap of control he could take hold of. It does little to fulfill the need. Bede's hands curl, smooth nails biting into the skin of his palms.

"So then... what now? You say we left off on the wrong foot. Is that just... a turn of phrase? Or are you suggesting we start forward using a new one?"

@kaanta is displeased:

' Is this you? ' He turned his phone screen towards them and on display was a zoomed in photo of Ree on Rose Tower property, the image surprisingly clear for what was obviously taken from a security camera. The president still wore that ever chipper smile on his face, but brows were lowered ever so slightly.

“Yup. Sure looks like it is.”

why would they lie about that? it’s funny. And Rose’s smile is even funnier, because they know that kind of smile. It’s the kind of smile that looks like a geyser about to blow.

Seems like they pissed him off well enough. That was the point.

“You gotta buff up your security in your tower, mister. Nobody even looked twice at me. This was a lesson in safety. Be thankful it was only little beepers an’ not somethin dangerous. You gotta be on the lookout for mischief.”

They’re going to hide shrimp under the floorboards next time.

@kaanta // Oh he got noticed

Staring at people became a thing for him over time as he grew up, making assumptions about whoever, coming up with random things on the spot... Without wanting their attention. Usually, if said attention moved to him, he would just walk away and move on and all that without a care, but damn. This guy spoke to him.

"Oh, uh... Hey." Is it impolite to not introduce himself after he was told he can? "Sup."

[beiowzero]

i honestly think you're one of the only grusha's ive seen that actually get him. like you can look at the general fanon and easily see the way they fail to really take in his character, but you've taken what you were presented with, run with it and fleshed him out in a way where it still feels like he's the same character you see in game like no other has

your grusha is always a delight to see on dash 🫰

how's my portrayal?⠀—⠀ACCEPTING.

⠀‖⠀pov:⠀I just jumped up and clicked my heels in delight

⠀LOL jokes aside, trying not to go on a tangent for every single ask, but I thank you and will remember these asks always cause they cheer me up so much.⠀I love writing him (⠀when my damn brain lets me focus⠀), so I'm happy if people wanna write along or just watch me do my thing!

@kaanta continued from here

Penny hesitated to hand the photo over for a second, nervous that he might keep the photo should they hand it over. Yet seeing the way his eyes softened at the photo they felt their own grip loosen on the photo as they handed it over to him.

They stood to their tip toes looking to the photo with him as he spoke. Silently trying to view the photo through his eyes, to understand the feelings he and Peony must have held at one point. What they must hold now.

"Really? I never could've imagined dad being that small." Ever since they met he'd always towered over them. Peonia used to tell of how as a kid his shoulders were always the best place for a fireworks show, no one could ever block the view. Seeing a picture of him younger then even they were now, it almost felt surreal.

It was the smile that gave him away though. That bright toothy grin which went from ear to ear and could lift even their darkest moods. It was so familiar they could recognize it even decades ago.

"A cufant?" They repeat until realization hits them. "You caught Uma?" Their dad had always been so proud of his Copperajah. He adored her as though the pokemon was his own sister. Penny always thought he'd caught her just from how close they were. But knowing Rose had caught her for him... It made Penny think. Maybe that was why he loved her as much as he did. Maybe he wanted to use her to make up for the relationship he lost with his own brother.

"Uhh... I- I dunno... Dad would be really upset if he didn't get it back." They're hesitant. The photograph really wasn't theirs to let Rose do as he pleased with. It was their dad's, if he knew they'd taken it without permission he'd be so disappointed. If he knew they showed it to Rose without permission he might actually be down right mad. "Can you promise to return it to me? Exactly the same as it is now."

' Be honest... are you doing all this for attention? It's all rather inconvenient rather than impactful. '

Honesty (accepting)

“Come on, man, you gotta be more specific on whatcha mean. Do you mean bein’ champion? Making weird foods? Feeding corn dogs to the sandyghast? Workin’ at the battle tree and taking it seriously? Sellin my roulette cookies to tourists for a quick buck? Making peeled Pokémon on photoshop and laughing at how people react? Pranking people for shits and giggles?

Or do you mean tossin’ myself into danger without blinking because I don’t trust the grownups to handle anything?

I mean, it don’t matter. The answer to that is all the same.

I can do things for a lot of reasons. And most of the time, there’s at least two or three or em floatin’ in my head before I act.”

' Did he ever mention me? At all? '

Family Talk

How do they tell him that their dad has never spoken of him? That they one time they brought him up their dad got mad. Does he know how hard it is to get their dad angry? Dad usually doesn't get mad over simple stuff like questions. Even when he doesn't know the answer he usually laughs about it or calls mom to ask, then all three of them wind up sitting in front of her while she tells them the answer. But the one time Nia and they asked about Rose it was like a switch flipped in him...

"Ummm... Not really..." Honesty's probably the best policy. But not too honest. If they tell him how angry Peony got he might just leave and they'll never get to know more about their dad's family.

"He... Doesn't like talking about his past much. I mean... I didn't even know about him being champion until I saw the pictures in his room like three years ago." They're trying to downplay that Peony never spoke of Rose or his parents or anyone from his family really. The only family he ever really spoke of was Uncle Kabu and both kids knew Kabu was just a really close friend rather then a blood sibling. "You know how he is. Live in the present and move towards the future and all that."

Does Rose know how he is? How much does Rose know of his own brother? Why are they suddenly so afraid for the future? For what's going to happen between them and Nia?
